They are members of the

Though they don't wear ranger
uniforms or carry binoculars,
the metal they reclaim each

TALKING OF BUSINESS
Scrap Is Big Industry Factor;
Institute Gathers Here for PorIey

ucts. And of course, race
tracks-the most obvious one
being the nearby Laurel Race
way. 1t is operated by John
Schapiro, also owner of Boston
Metals Co. of Baltimore, one
of the biggest ship wrecking
firms in the Nation and a men,
ber of the Scrap Institute.
Scrap is a shortcut way of
steel. Using ton of it
saves an equal amount of pig
iron. Put another way, it saves
the two tons of iron ore, one
ton of coal and half-ton of
limestone that go into a ton
of pig iron.
Multiply that by the 60 mil
lion tons of scrap reclaimed
each year in the United States
from the auto graveyards,
wrecked houses ana obsolete
equipment, and you get an idea
of their prodigious conserva-
ton.
Even Washington, hardly as
sociated in the public's mind
with the steel industry, pro-
duces its share of scrap. The
seven processing firms here ac-
count for payroll of about
$50 persons who gather and
market 10000 tons of metal
a year. A number of other deal
ers also handle nonferrous met
ais and other recovered ma
terials but do not process them
locally.
Often mistakenly labeled a
junk dealer or auto wrecker,
the scrap professor buys metal
from them and transforms it
into a re-usable product. The
Nations 1000 professors have
a specialized knowledge of the
rs grades of metal traded, and
form a vital link in funneling
the product back to steel mills.
Typically, a modern process
sor must invest $250,000 or more
for equipment such as railroad
cranes, magnets and bailing
presses. His ultimate product:

WAX MUSEUM

WAX MUSEUM
Monday morning my fifth grad
ers and boarded the school bus
and went on a field trip. For
many years since teaching in this
state, l have attempted to take
my classes at least twice year
to places of educational interest.
Some children have few oppor-
tunities to see many of the won-
derful world near at hand even
though more families own cars
now.
We visited the American Her.
itage Wax Museum located at
Scottsdale. The trip was educa-
tional from the moment we passed
the intersection at Fortieth Street
and East Broadway.
Some of them had never been.
in Tempe and most of them had
never seen the site of Arizona
State University. Theymarvelled
at the large white letters A and
T which are placed on two noun
tain sides.
Scottsdale was fascinating to
discover. Those unique western
style built buildings were the
topic of several conversations.
A good view Of the Grand Canal
was exciting and some pupil said
IT was certainly wider than the
canal on Baseline Road. This
sight helped US understand the
irrigation system a bit better.
The museum is full of wax
figures created in London by
the makers of the famous Tus-
saud figures. A secret process
which was perfected by Madame
Josephine Tussaud in the 18th
century has been handed down
from generation to generation of
her family. No where else OUT
side of the famous nssaud Mu-
scum in London will you see
these marvellous creations of
man. The heads and hands have
a human skin appearance and the
optics used for eyes are the same
type used to replace human eyes.
Each strand of hair is skilfully
placed as If 1t were growing from
live cells. The other parts of
the bodies which are clothed in
authentic period costumes are
made of fiberglass.
Each one was open mouthed
as we passed through the museum
guided by an amiable young lady.
She explained each scene and
filled in some background COM
ments. The fifth graders were
enthralled with the life like fig.
ures. One boy said the figure
was moving.
1t is a rare thing to get the
complete attention of nineteen
active young pupils. but it is
a rarer feat to keep them oc-
cupied without some mental or
physical strain for nearly an
hour. The sights at the wax
works kept them busy with their
eyes and minds and mouths for
most of the time. have seldom
seen my class react as one COM
pound person. Here before their
eyes unfolded scenes which we
have studied. Here before their
visages appeared in lifeiike size.

Last Saturday the Mayicopa County branch
Of the National Association for the Advance
maent Of coloyed People made its first picket
demons tyation protest ting job hiring practices
at Woolsooyth's Department Store.
The Arizona Tribune has been voicing the
need for fair and equal job opportunities for
the past four and a half years. The NAACP
for the same number of years and longer has
been primarily interested in acquiring equal
public accommodations. Last year after
seemingly ignoring the pattern Of job dis
elimination in other parts Of the nation, the
local NAACP made brief surrey of some
plants and factories.
A fen weeks ago it uas announced that the
U. S. CiUil Rights Commission sO0xM hold a
hearing in the city to study the overall pic
tmye Of civil rights here. Before this an
nouncenaent no action sOas taken at any Of the
Downtown stores. This appears to haze been
the ripe moment for the NAACP to launch a
Jo,ag-needed assault on securing equal job
opportunities in the city.
In order to get the complete story prior to
the bicketing of Wo0lsOOyth's, I visited the
Downtown headQuayteYS and interviewed Mr..
II. V. Lusk, store manager. He related the
discussion held sOith NAACP rebreS entativeS

EASTER TRADITIONS OBSERVED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

Easter bunny" and his asso- citation with Easter eggs.
 Boiling and coloring every available egg in the house at Easter is worldwide custom. The ancient Egyptian and Per sians were probably the first to color eggs, An important tra- dition at their Spring Festivals, the colored eggs symbolized fertility and renewed life.
 Later Christians exchanged eggs as symbols of affection. It was when sending eggs a great distance became imprac- tical, that the custom of send ing Easter greeting cards was born.
 In this country, the custom of sending Easter greetings is gaining more and more popu- larity. This year, more than 450 million Easter cards will be sent in the United States, ac- cording to estimates of the Rust Craft Greeting Card Company.
