50-Star Flags Los Amigos Class of the Speedway Christian' Church is selling United States, 50-star flags at $1 each. Call one of the following members for immediate delivery: Mrs. Winger, CH. 4-1639, Mrs. Monce, CH. 1-3635, Mrs. Gummere, CH. 1-3033. Brownie Troop No. 108 We were all very disappointed on June 11 when the rain forced us to have to call off our picnic at the last minute. Thanks to our picnic committee anyhow for all their work, and we’ll be prepared next time and will be able to change an OUTING into an INNING by h< ing an alternate inside place to picnic. With so many of our mothers and leaders busy with either Bible School, Day Camp or vacation plans it is impossible to schedule another picnic at this lime, but we’ll promise our troop an early outing in the fall. June 12 brought a nice surprise to all three leaders when we were presented with a lovely rose bush and a can of rose spray as gifts from our girls in troop No. 108. It was a thoughtful thing to do and was much appreciated by all three leaders. Mrs. Meighen and Mrs. Jacobs are busy with the Brownies and Day Camp Doings. Despite two days of bad weather when the girls met at a local church, plans are being carried out with the girls. All the girls were very thrilled about the one day at camp and are all hoping that next week will bring sunny days for camp fun. Card of Thanks The family of Naomi Arbuckle wishes to thank our kind neighbors, friends and relatives for expressions of sympathy and the lovely floral offerings extended during our recent bereavement.

SCHOOL NEWS Parents of kindergarten children eligible to enroll this fall are urged to report the child’s name to the school office if a pre-enrollment slip has not already been sent in. To enroll in kindergarten this fall a child must be five years old by Sept. 9. One hundred and twenty-one students in grades 7-12 had-per-fect attendance during the 195960 school. For Ralph Thompson, Jerry Aiken, Larry Bilbee and Sherrill Scoggan it was the fourth year of perfect attendance. Glen Miller has three years of perfect attendance, and those with two years are Steve Bradley, Diane (Continued on Page 6) Baseball News "B" Team Last Tuesday evening your Lions B league team, coached by George Maple and Ray Thompson, opened their 1960 season with a win over the American Legion Club. Game was played at the American Legion diamonds on South Holt Rd. Game moved along with the Legion getting first tally. Thompson pushed a nice single through the box in the 3rd inning but the boys were unable to get him around. This was the picture for three innings. Maple walked, stole second base, scored on a single by Rosner to open the fourth inning. Sanders hit, moving Rosner to third and on the next pitch to Staver; Sanders moved to second base. Staver took a full count and pushed a single to right field scoring Rosner and Sanders. Inning ended with three runs. Bruce Davis pitched a good four innings but got into trouble in the fifth when he loaded the bases with no outs. Coach Thompson lifted Davis for Staver who was successful in getting the first man to hit i to him with a force-out at home to catcher Sipe. Staver struck out the second man. The No. 3 batter hit to pitcher and was put out at first, retiring the side. Staver finished the game allowing one hit. All of these boys played a fine game. Why not visit these games, especially you families who have sons. They surely would enjoy it. This game looked like a big league game as these boys had that real determination to win. Why not give them your support? Last Friday evening the Lions B League team, coached by Maple and Thompson, played the Rockets at Speedway Park diamonds. Your Rockets are coached by Cal and Roscoe Ewing. Batteries: Rockets, Hoeltje, Coers; Lions, Irwin, Sipe. Score 5-3 with Lions winning a good one. Irwin pitched a four-hitter and this was a very good and exciting game between the local “B” League teams. Remember these clubs play each Tuesday and Friday. This week’s games were as good as you can see anywhere. Thank You Thank you, good friends and neighbors. These two little words can but partly express the pleasure you gave me by your thoughtfulness, prayers, calls, cards, flowers and interest shown in many ways. Thanks to Rev. Wright for his faithfulness. I’m improving each day now and hope to be out some before too many | weeks. Mrs. Charles Herdrich

Speedway DeMoiay Wins State Championship While attending the annual State DeMoiay conclave, Speedway chapter, came home with the team championship bowling trophy. Members of the team were Mike Anthony, captain; David Hunt, Earl Evans, Dough Strouse and A 1 Stilley. Local Industry Announces Scientific Breakthrough It was announced today by the Linde Company, Division of Union Carbide Corporation, that a new electric arc fusion process for growing single crystals of refractory metals and metallic oxides has resulted from research activities at Linde’s Speedway Laboratory. Hailed as a major scientific breakthrough by Dr. George H. Wagner, Linde’s director of research, the new process was developed under the direction of Dr. D. M. Gillies, assistant director of research, who resides at 1018 Oakwood Trail. The breakthrough resulted directly from crystal growth research by A. D. Kisser, research associate, who lives at 6023 Coburn, and M. H. Weatherly, research chemist, R.R. 3, Box 842 K. Development of the process for commercial production has been under the direction of J. F. Pelton, manager of the New Products Department at the Speedway Laboratory. Mr. Pelton resides at 5058 Bonnie Brae. The new electric arc fusion process is used to grow large pure crystals of metals such as tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, columbium and vanadium. Similarly large crystals of various l metallic compounds of these materials are also produced by the new process.

The recently developed arc fusion process is similar in some respects to the Speedway developed Verne nil flame fusion process which is currently utilized in the production of Linde’s synthetic sapphire, star sapphire, ruby, titania and other oxide crystals which are used for such articles as phonograph needles, electronic tube elements, infrared windows and as gems for jewelry. As in the Vernenil process which utilizes a combustion flame, the arc fusion process requires no container for molten substances, yet it provides additional and important advantages in that a wider range of temperatures and atmospheres may be obtained with the electric arc. In announcing this achievement, Dr. Wagner pointed out that such metals as tungsten, when made by conventional methods, have certain undesirable qualities which make them extremely difficult to machine. Such materials heretofore have been of a highly brittle nature which necessitated heating them to temperatures of approximately 2000 degrees Fahrenheit in order to successfully produce machined parts. Due to the clean, homogeneous structure of the new crystals produced by the arc fusion process it is now possible to machine these metals at normal room temperatures. Threads, for example, can be tapped onto bolts made from single crystal tungsten without the material cracking as is experienced in presently available polycrystalline tungsten. Dr. Wagner also added, “Through this research we have been able to remove a serious limitation on progress in the science and technology of high temperature materials. As has been pointed out by the National Academy of Sciences and other government agencies, the lack of availability of single crystals has handicapped the nation’s research in high temperature materials. Such materials are of vital importance in many technological areas, notably electronics and astronautics.”
