The wind tunnels were equip- ped with fans either to push the air in or draw it through, and with a honeycomb of soft drink straws at one end to channel the air into a straight flow through the wind tunnel. Objects of various shapes and sizes were suspended in the tun- nels  study the effects of streamlining and the effects of blocklike objects on air passage. Here's where the cigars came in -- to make the moving cur- rents of air visible. Cigars were the solution of most students. There were additional problems involved inkeeping the cigars burning and channeling the cigar snloke into the wind tunnels. The best solution -- copied by many other students -- was that of Neal K. Bullard, an eighth grade science teacher at Irwin Junior High, Fort Bragg, N. C. He lights the cigar in his mouth, then encloses it within the joints of a lead pipe and attaches an inflated balloon at one end of the pipe. By compressing the balloon with his hand a bellows is formed to keep the cigar burn- ing. The result is a volume of srrmke which sets every one to coughing. Burning rags, incense and chemdca] solutions which cause a white cloud to form were among other solutions to the visibility problem. "Using chemicals poses some problems when you are dealing with junior high children," said Professor Tanner. "But then you can hardly pass around a box of cigars to seventh graders, can yOU?" Bliss, an assistant professor of science education at Mayville State College in North Dakota, was a science consultant for the North Dakota State Department of Education for four years be- fore joining the college faculty. For 18 years before that he was head of the science department at Grafton, N. D. High, and dur- ing this time helped get the sci- ence fair rrmvement started in his state. For 10 years, his stu- dents went clear to the National Science Fair during this period. Bliss thinks every science teacher ought to go through a do-it-yourself lab. At Florida State he was assigned the mliner- alogy room in the Geology Building for his lab and he's equipped it with power saws, drills and other tools, along with a stockpile of pipes, lumber, bolts, and miscellany of materials from building supply and dime stores. The lab is open from 7 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. and almost al- ways is in use. After a refresher session on the principles involved teachers were left to design their own and build them. IVlost are being built out of blocks of wood, a metal pipe 50 centimeters long with peep hole at one end and a hairline cross at the other. "The best of these instruments will be capable of an accuracy to within a foot or so at :tOO feet -- in other words will have about a one or two per cent error," said Bliss. Later in the surmer the stu- dents will be asked to make a contour map of the practice golf course on the campus as a test of the instrument's accuracy. Survey Of Forest Insects To Be Started The annual aerial survey to detect outbreaks of tree killing insects in Oregon and Washing- ton forests began July 10, ac- according to Benton Howard, in charge of insect and disease con- trol, Pacific Northwest Region, U. S. Forest Service. The survey takes about 350 flying hours to complete. U. S. Forest Service, Washing- ton State Department of Natural Resources and Oregon State De- partment c Forestry personnel cooperate to survey the 54 mil- lic forested acres in Oregon and Washington. The crews rec* ognize and map damage caused by 30 species of insects and 10 other types of tree damage. Each year the greatest losses are caused by beetles that attack various tree species. "Early detection of •forest in- sect outbreaks is essential" Howard said, "to give forest managers time to change logging plans to combat the outbreak or salvage timber that would othp,dse be lost."

By CINDY STENTZ I This past week Smokey and I visited Camp Bishop, Camp St. Albans, and Belfatr State Park. At this park I could see the great impact Smokey has on the children. Ten or twelve swarmed up as soon as he was out of the car. They hollered for their parents to look, which gave me the opportunity to ex- plain m purpose to them. At Camp Bishop we were greet- ed with the kids looking Smokey over in amazement. Accompany- ing me as Smokey was a girl friend, Sue Hembroff, which one bright little girl caught me on. She said, "Is this really Smokey Two Receive Commissions CAMP MURRAY--Sixty Wash- ington Army National Guard and United States Army Reserve men were commissioned second lieu- tenants during graduation cere- monies at the Washington Mili- tary Academy here Jttly 22. Among them were Norman G. VilLines and William O. Walden, both of Shelton. The lieutenants were members of the academy's tenth graduat- ing class. The acadenD' was founded here in 1957. The academy's cirriculum in- cludes two two-week summer camps and 12 weekend drills during the year-long course. Nearly every military subject from weapons training to small unit tactics is taught beth in the classroom and during actual field practice. The academy is accredited by the Department of the Army. There are 88 cadets, 73 from the Washington National Guard and 15 from the Army Reserve, currently enrolled in the graduat- ing class of 1968. Some 500 ca- dets have been commissioned since the academy was founded. the Bear?" I told her yes, and she replied, "I didn't know that boy bears painted their toenails". She was quick to notice things, as all kids are at that age. That is why it is so imlrtant to reach these children. They are so succeptible to learning. Things that impress them, they remem- ber and I hope I can impress upon them the importance of Keep Washington Green. There is a way they can par- ticipate called the Green Guard program. Children from ages 8- 16 are eligible to join. It in- cludes a manuel on fire preven- tion, an iron on KWG patch, a membership card, and letter to the parents. If your youngster is interested, please send me his name and address. I would be glad to send them a packet. My address: Cindy Stentz, 724 Roy Blvd., Shelton, Washington. Last week in Mason County, there were five fires. One at Harstine Island was started by a burning house and one at Dry Bed Lakes was started by a smoldering camp fire. There was a small one at Paradise Estates on Mason Lake and one at Is- land Lake caused by children playing with matches. Another fire caused by a railroad, was at Maxwell Hill, west of Karnil- che. These fires are common proof that fires do and are happen- ing from careless people Please remember to be a careful citi- zen. Mason County is beautiful and we want to keep it that way.

A We at RAYONIER want you and your family to enjoy every minute of these summer months (and especially the picnics you'll be having in our areas.) You can make them more enjoyable for everyone by remember- 1 ing these safety tips. Have a great summer, and don't trust your family's safety to luck l O When starting your fire, clear the area of all twigs, leaves or any- O thing that would easily start up. O Keep the fire small. O O Make sure are put out, all matches O Never use gasoline or any flammable liquid once the fire is burning. e Always watch the !ire and have water ready to extinguish sparks. ) O eep small children away from the fire (and be careful when you're around it, too l) Before leaving, make sure the fire is completely out. Keep food at a safe temperature. A portable icebox is best but ice cubes, dry ice or commercially prepared metal containers (you can pre-freeze them) will help. Handle dry ice carefully--never use bare hands because a bad burn can result. After eating, allow at least a one hour waiting period before going in the water. Make sure children are well supervised when swimming. Never swim alone. This goes for swimmers as well as non-swimmers. Bring along a first aid kit and know the basics of first aid. Obey all posted signs in your area. Remember, these signs are posted for your safety. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm / OLYMPIA o s lo s o ABERDEEN 1 ! = ' Planning a little picnic ? or a big camp out?
