PLJ School Board Names Jr. High And Elementary Schools In System

The Polk - Lincoln - Johnson Hoard of Education has named their junior high school the Harold C. Urey Junior High School, honoring the distinguish- ( d scientist who was born within the boundaries of the system. While the building which the junior high school students will attend this coming year will still be known as the Tyner School, the junior high school itself made up of grades seven and eight, will be the Harold C. Urey Junior High School. Dr. Urey was born in Lincoln Township on April 29, 1893. He is perhaps best known as the discoverer of “heavy water", which 1 der in the form of lithium deuteride, was one of the major materials in the hydrogen bomb. The substance also has many other uses in the scientific world. For his work in this area, Dr. Urey, iu 1934, was awarded the Nobel Prize. In 1965, he was one of the eleven scientists who were presented the National Medal of Science by President Johnson. A rather lengthy article on Dr. Urey and his work was included in the 1965 World Book Science Annual. Further listing of his work and honors accorded him may be found in Who’s Who In America. Dr. Urey has achieved prominence as a scientist, an author, and a teacher. He began teaching in a country school in Montana. From that country school he moved up the academic ladder to teach in some of the greatest univ rsities in the world. His most recent position was with the University of California at San Di- < ।as professor of chemistry. Dr. Urey has been quoted as saying that he still regarded himself b • acally as a teacher. The board felt that it was most fitting that one of our schools be named after this local man who has made such a tremendous contribution both to the world of science and to the education and training of future scientists. The corporation’s elementary schools will be identified as the Tyner Elementary School and the Walkerton Elementary School. Community Club To Open Season This Friday The first meeting of the Women's Community Club for 196667 will be a carry-in luncheon at Sheneman’s Grove at 12 o'clock Friday, September 2.
