*'• - -vc* S*fcy Judi Roesch and Doris Fuhler •V . #&' First Dtiac« itfv The Student Council gave the iSflrst record dance in the cafe- " teria Friday night after the football game. Since this was ur first dance of the year, there was a large crowd and even though a few of our football players were patched up here and thej-e, eyeryone enjoyed themselves. Picture Please!! Seeing all the strange 'faces around school you can very well understand why the student body was issued identification iards. Last spring everyone in school but the seniors had their pictures taken. The pictures were then put on identification cards with their name and stating that they were a student of M.C.H.S. The purpose is so the teachers won't have much trouble 'identifying you and if you go to an out-of-town game and they have any doubt you being a student, all you have to do is present them with your little trusting card. F. H. A. The members of last year's J F.H.A. met on Friday to dis- 2 cuss plans for the coming year. € They plan to start with a dance ^ for the freshmen the last part * of September.

Charles B. Shuman, Sullivan, 111., president of the Illinois A g r i c u l t u r a l a s s o c i a t i o n , t o l d that group that General Eisenhower and Governor Stevenson, in endorsing the principles \>t high, rigid price supports, are "both trying to promise, the farmer the world with a 'white fence around it." Shuman was referring to the speeches the Republican and Democratic candidates made at the national contour plowing contest in Kasson, Minn. The IAA is the statewide Farm Bureau organization with more than 190,000 farm families as members. The meeting was the semi-annual fall meeting of Farm Bureau leaders in the K. of C. auditorium. "The American Farm Bureau platform which was recommended to both political parties at their July conventions called for flexible price supports," Shuman said. "The Farm Bureau believes that price supports at 90 per cent of parity or higher during peace time are not in the best interest of fanners because thev will lead to excessive production. And tod much farm production will bring about the necessity for acreage cdntrols and allotments. "The agricultural plans of the Republican platform, while worded in general terms, still left room for support of the Farm Bureau position," he said. "However, their candidate, General Eisenhower, went beyond the party platform in his speech at Kasson to support the high fixed price support law passed by the last Congress. 'The Democratic party disregarded the Farm Bureau recommendations in its • platform and favored continuation of price supports at the high, rigid level of 90 per cent of parity," Shuman said. 'Even now, agriculture is producing at an extremely high level and if peace is attained, as both candidates promise, we shall be in serious trouble with surplus farm production. "Therefore, there is little if any difference between the two candidates or partie's on the issue of farm price supports. Farmers, in making their choices for the presidency of the United States, must look to other issues to decide. The IAA or the American Farm Bureau does not endorse any candidate or party. We are, however, interested in getting farmers to vote in the general election on Nov. 4." The progress of the IAA-Farm Bureau "Get-Out-The-Vote" campaign was discussed by I. E. Parett, IAA secretary of public relations. He told the farm leaders from every Illinois county who attended that getting farmers to the polls in the November election is of vital importance if farm people are ,to Exhibit Provides "Lift" For Visitors To Science Museum A "lift" for the benefit of foot weary visitors to the Museum of Science and Industry was provided with the opening of a new exhbit September 3, b^ Westinghouse Electric corporation. The "lift" is an electric stairway designed both as an exhibit and a convenience to carry* visitors from the Museum's main floor to the second floor level, thus providing easier accessibility to two of the Museum's,, most important exhibit 'areas comprising health and engineering" exhibits^ With the installation, the Museum becomes the first institution of its kind to provide its visitors with this type of modern convenience. Official opening of the electric stairway took place Sept. 3> at 9:30 a.m. as one of the first events in the celebration of the Centennial of engineering. Major Lenox R. Lohr, president of both the Museum and the engineering centennial, officials of Westinghouse, and representatives of the various engineering societies took the firrft "ride" on the new stairway and thus officially open the special exhibits section devoted to the achievements of American engineers during the past hundred years in the immediately adjacent area. t Aside from its value as an e n g i n e e r i n g a c h i e v e m e n t , t h e electric stairway has been a Museum dream for many years. Its installation at this time is particularly important with th$ near .completion of an exhibit now under construction in the Museum's medical section. There a unique exhibit telling the story of the human heart and how to live with it longer is being prepared for opening in October. Museum officials had been concerned that the people who should see this heart exhibit most, those who had had some kind of heart trouble, are the ones who should not climb stairs--therefore, the opening of the electric stairway is particularly timely. The installation, one of the largest single operating units In service anywhere, rises 21 feet with a traveling* distance of 42 feet from floor to floor. Operating at a speed of 90 feet per minute, the electric stairway will movie a capacity crowd * of 0,000 visitors each hour. For the visitor using the electric stairway, it will save him a minute in traveling time and the energy needed to climb thirty-six stairs to arrive at the same location. Of modern construction, with an aluminum exterior, yet architecturally designed to match the Museum's surrounding decor, the electric stairway is 32 inches wide, has a total of 82 steps and is operated noiselessly by a 10- horsepower motor. It is considered the ultimate in vertical transportation safety.

'v Static la blethes V* Chemists report an eiectric gremlin -- static electricity -- is, causing trouble in the new syn> thetic "wonder clothes". The static - makes clothes cling revealingly or hang uncomfortably and can cause clothes and blankets to rustle with, sparks. The static charges attract soot and lint. They creat problems in manufacturing man-made textiles that came from test tubes. The trouble comes from friction^ and a build-up of static changes. That Static is tiny-sized lightning. It long has caused trouble in the manufacture of cotton and woolen goods. Now It is a greater source of concern in the newer fibers, including nylon, orlon, dacron,' vinyon, dynel and others, because* they are not good conductors** they retain static charges.

Although the Farm Bureau does not support any party or candidate, it is urging farmers to vote for passage of the amendment to the revenue article to the Illinois constitution, Parett said. Farmers are interested in overhauling this portion of the constitution so that property can be classified for tax purposes, he said.
