I THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., March 26, 1970—1-B Students See 'Moon Rover STRONGER WEAKER SEX—Bell Street student Joyce Williams prepares to move classmate Mich ael Clark with one finger. Michael is riding the Air Bearing Platform, one of the nine demonstra tions in the General Motors stage show “Previews of Progress.” The Air Bearing Platform uses air as a lubricant, and this allows objects of any size to be moved effortlessly. “Previews of Progress” ap peared at Bell Street High School on Wednesday, March 18. SOLAR POWER—A model of an unusual moon ve hicle called the Suneyor Lunar Roving Vehicle, or Moon Rover, is demonstrated to Thomwell High School students Diana Wood and Maynard Bierce by General Motors lecturer John C. EhJen. ,The Moon Rover, which is powered by ten solar cells, uses the energy of the sun as a power source and will soon be operating on the surface of the moon. Beounit Promotes James Templeton The appointment f James Templeton, a native f J anna, as sales representative has teen announced by Louis O llins, vice president and general manager f the Po lymer F iters Divisi n 1 f Beaunit Fibers. Formerly a senior techni cal representative of technical services, Mr. Templeton will te responsible for sales of nylon 6/6 tow yarn, molding resin and polymer sales to yarn throws ters in the North Carolina area. He will report to Frank Soling, direct >r of polymer sales, and will continue to workouM Beau- mt's offices here. Mr. Templeton's present ad dress is 2905 Welcome Drive, Durham, N. C. “We have engineered in the U- nited States the most progressive land on the face of the earth, but many challenging questions remain to be answered by the scientists and engineers of the future. ” That message of opportunity was presented to local students when General Motors research- in-action stage show, “Previews of Progress,” appeared at Clin ton High School and Bell Street High School onWednesday, March 18, at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., re spectively. The program also ap peared at Clinton Junior High School and Thornwell H. S. on Thursday, March 19, at 9:30 a. m. and 1 p.m. The non-commercial show seeks to encourage more student interest in science and engineer ing careers. It was presented in non-technical language by Pre views lecturers John C. Eiden and Mark S. Loeser. A highlight of the 40-minute program was the Moon Rover, a 15-inch mtxiel of the Surveyor Lu nar Roving Vehicle which has been proposed by General Motors to the Jet Propulsion Laborator ies. The Rover runs on sunlight and has eight button-like solar cells on its hood which convert energy in sunlight into elec tricity. A 309-watt lamp, si mulating the sun’s rays, powered the vehicle across an undulating table top surface during the show. The GM representatives em phasized that the MoonRover de monstrates the potential of the continuing search for new ways to harness the tremendous energy of the sun for more efficient use. Students also saw an alternate means of energy for lunar ve hicles when the GM lecturers made three fuel cells which con verted chemical energy into e- lectricity. The small fuel cells, made with chemicals during the show in containers the size ofpa- per cups, provided enough power to run the Moon Rover and op erate a portable radio. The fuel call -- a highly ef ficient energy conversion device -- is a subject of continuing in tensive research, the Previews lecturers said. They told stu dents that GM has developed a full-size experimental vehicle that demonstrates that electric propulsion by fuel cells is tech nically feasible. AIR PLATFORM One way to move heavy loads with little physical effort was il lustrated by an “air bearing" platform. A small vacuum clean er type motor provided a thin film of air under three large cir cular pads supporting the plat form. This air-cushion reduced friction between the floor and the pads enabling finger-tip move ment of the platform carrying about 200-pounds. Two novel experiments involv ing “man-made” molecules indi cated modern chemistry’s con tribution to progress. Synthetic rubber was manufactured in a bottle in just one minute and a foam plastic cake “baked” itself in only two-minutes. The importance of seat belt protection for vehicle occupants was dramatized by a model im pact sled, a device automotive safety engineers have been using to test the structural integrity of car bodies and components. Since 1962, a full-size impact sled has been used in vehicle safety and occupant protection tests at the GM Proving Ground at Milford, Michigan. It enables GM engineers to “fire” pay- loads up to 5,000 pounds along a pair of 100-foot rails on a sled like structure. These tests can be repeated as often as neces sary under carefully-controlled conditions to provide factual data. A study by a University of Michigan medical team indicates that the use of seat belts could reduce the number of traffic fa talities by as much as 40 per cent. Other demonstrations in the Previews show covered the use of gyroscopes in modern navi gation systems for space ve hicles, aircraft and submarines and an explanation of how a gas turbine engine operates. The Previews team that ap peared here is one of seven two- man units now touring the coun try. About 1,500,000 students and adults will see Previews this year.

TIRED O F T H E MUMBO JUMBO ON YOUR INCOME TAX MAGIC LIGHT — Clinton High School students Don Trammell, Teresa Foster and Gene Simmons view one of the great technological advances of the 1960’s: the laser. Lasers, which have already been used in the drilling of hard materials, will soon be used to detect levels of atmosphere pollution. Sabers Quartet Concert Slated At Epworth The popular singing group known as the Sabers will sing in concert at Epworth United Methodist Church at Joanna, on Easter Sunday, March 29, at 7 p.m. The Sabers Quartet, from Hemingway, has appeared on T.V. and has sungatchurches through out the South. They have made a number of records that set forth the gospel of Christ in song. The Sabers sang at Broadstreet Methodist Church in Clinton re cently, and received a hearty re sponse. The Sabers make it plain that they sing for the Glory of God, and are not out to enter tain. They want it known that their concerts area ministry toChrist. For one to qualify as a member of the Sabers Quartet, he must be a Christian, and desire to sing as a ministry. ft Taxes are complicated. Why brew up a storm? Take your return to H & R Block.
