safety rules are not followed. This checklist can help ensure that an outdoor lighting system is safe:

Check thoroughly all cords, plugs, and sockets for breaks, cracks, or signs of wear, particularly where wires enter sockets. If you have any doubt about the condition of any electrical item, do not use it. Purchase and use only that equipment listed by Underwriters Laboratories and bearing the UL label. Use only cords, lights, and other equipment that have been designed for outdoor use. The package label should tell you whether thettems were designed for this purpose. Run cords above ground, if possible, as damage is more likely to occur when cords are strung along the ground. If you must lay them on the ground, drape cords over wooden stakes high enough to keep them out of puddles or snow. Be sure they are placed where people are unlikeley to step or trip over them.

Powerama Has Employee's Hobby Corner

An unusual meeting of work time and leisure occurs at the Indianapolis facility of the Detroit Diesel Allison Division of General Motors Corporation. In an exhibit area there known as the “Powerama,” amid displays of the gas turbine and diesel engines, heavy duty transmissions and industrial bearings which the division manufactures, is a quiet corner devoted to spare time pursuits of the 12,000 GM people who work there. This is the “Employes Hobby Corner.” In the 17-plus years foe corner has been available for employe use, hundreds of varied hobbies have been shown there, in the well-lighted display cases or on the composition walls. None of the displays shown there has attracted more ini-

LUNA Is BDHS Version Of The United Nations “Mr. Hartsock and I have had mock UJi.’s before in our individual classes and we wanted to make it bigger and get more students involved.” The statement was made by Mrs. Harriett O’Connor, world history teacher at Ben Davis, about the forthcoming Little United Nations Assembly (LUNA). This huge project will involve about 320 students from nine world history classes and nearly every department at Ben Davis. Modeled after the United Nations in New York City, LUNA will take place over two days during which the involved students will be excused from all of their classes. Tentatively set for mid-February, the project may be delayed by the recent fire in the auditorium. If repairs are prolonged, the model may be switched. Mrs. O’Connor, Mr. James Hartsock, and Mr. Ray Brown, sponsors of LUNA, are trying to involve all departments at Ben Davis. The Speech Department will help students prepare speeches for the meetings. LUNA will follow as closely as possible the original U.N. Thirty-six countries will be present and each will have a head delegate who oversees his delegate members. If the Language of any country is represented by the Language Department at Ben Davis, the head delegate is required to speak that language. Topics to be discussed at the convention are varied and include such timely ones as the India-Pakistan conflict, ecology, and the Middle East situation. Present plans are for either a member of the New York City UJi. or Mayor Lugar to address the assembly as guest speaker. Students are beginning their preparations now by filling out forms to indicate their preferences for jobs in LUNA. Soon they will begin researching their countries so that as the (Continued to page 8)

John J.

Interests which cannot be shown readily in collections are shown in other ways, such as a band-built custom sports car which an employe had assembled piece by piece and exhibited a number of years ago.
