Many games were played and lots of food was consumed and all in all a very wonderful time as usual was had by them. 0 Omission This is in the form of an apology- to Jimmy Laursen for having left his name out not only once but twice. The first time I omitted it from the list of children who attended my s o n ' s b i r t h d a y p a r t y a n d t h e second time was last Saturday when the boys from Den 4, Pack 361, attended the cookout at Veterans Park.

The girls had the fireplace lit and all gathered around and told loads of spook stories, raided the refrigerator and just gabbed and gabbed to their hearts' content. All the girls had a wonderful time even though they may have lost a few hours sleep, but after all who worries about sleep when one is having so much fun?

MUSEUM KEEPS PAN AMERICAN TORCH BURNING The Museum of Science and Industry last Friday took up one of the most unusual tasks it has ever been assigned, keeping the Pan American Games' torch of good will burning through the next four years -- until it is carried from Chicago to Brazil for 1963's athletic events. The torch, displayed in the Museum's Main Rotunda, \fcas designed and built by the Argonne National laboratory at Lemont, 111., to kindle the symbolic friendship flame which opened the Pan American Games in Chicago. Radioactive material placed inside the torch triggered the flame by means of specially designed electronic equipment. This first use of atomic energy to carry on an age-old Olympic tradition symbolizes man's progress in harnessing the atom to improve the live of all. Argonne's Pan American torch was designed to represent an atom, a new style created at the request of Mayor Daley. Surrounding its "nucleus", a blue plastic ball containing a flashing lamp, is a series of chrome-plated brass rings as typical electron orbits. At the top is a container which held the real radioactive source, seven cesium-137 pellets encased in brass. With an aluminum- trimmed walnut handle, the entire torch measures 25 inches long and weighs ab6ut four pounds. Sunday, Oct. 11 ides, 1' per pound (Live Weight) $1 Minimum -- 8 A.M. to 6 P.M.
