Colorful life-size cut outs of carolers or smiling Santa and reindeer on your front lawn will look really charming and stand out brightly with a pair of Sylvania PAR lamps concealed in the shrubbery or with ever green branches — and will also throw interesting shadows on the house front. Holiday time is traditionally the season of lights and warmth —from the glowing brightness of an open fire, to the brilliantly sparkling colored lights of the tree. You can add to the festival of lights by trying new things with them. Your holidays should be “light”-hearted - in every sense of the word! Open or closed, it plays with superb tone. The billfold radio is part of a gift ensemble. Also included is an earphone attachment for one-person radio listening and a set of batteries — all in a gift box. Brother of Mrs. Long dies Paul G.

(Whitmire News- photo.) / /mm fiy Elizobeth Meehan, Sylvania Lighting and Design Coordinator Light Up The Holidays One of the nicest ways to ac cent and glamorize the festive holiday time is via lighting magic. And holiday lights mean mu e h more than just the pretty colored ones most fam ilies string up on the Christ mas tree. Consider, for example, a new way to call attention to a pretty mantel decoration. By mounting two small reflector lamps on each side of the mantel and aiming the beams so they cross directly above the display, you can high light an or nate wreath, a rustic creche made by your children, a holiday flower arrangement. An other interesting lighting idea is to hang a snowflake mobile grouping in a corner and shine a floodlight for unusual shadows cast on the wall. Decorating a doorway at holi day time is a delightful way of saying “Welcome” to friends and relatives. If you have a bunch of pine boughs, an oversiz. styro foam candy cone or gay Santa Claus, use a Sylvania PAR-38 lamp in a weatherized socket to accent the doorway. Try a 100-watt mercury vapor light on your evergreen trees— the blue spruce in particular — What makes popcorn pop? Popcorn is different from other kinds of corn, and it’s that difference that makes it pop. Popcorn has a hard, tough, waterproof covering. So when popcorn is heated, the nat ural moisture inside the kernels can’t escape. When it’s heated enough, though, the moisture turns to steam and the kernels explode. Does air have weight? It does, and I’ll tell you how you can prove it to yourself and your friends with a simple and interest ing experiment. Hammer a long thin nail through the mid-point (the 18- inch mark) of a yardstick. Balance the yardstick by placing each end of Ingenious cabinet design is liberating the transistor radio these days and starting up a parade of sets with a com pletely new and different look. As a gift-idea for all-year use there is a pocket portable ra dio with the billfold look. It comes from Zenith and opens like a wallet. It has a snap fastener to hold it shut. the nail on a tall drinking glass, as shown in the picture. Attach an empty balloon with a rubber band to one end of the yardstick. On the other end, to make a perfect bal ance, tape a dime or penny or at tach a paper clip. Now take the balloon off and blow it up. When you attach it again, full of air, you’ll see that end of the yardstick dip down. That’s because the air inside the balloon has weight and makes it heavier. Do you know why the engine is us- ally in the front of a car? When cars were first invented, the inventors put the engine up front where the horse used to be. But there are other reasons, too. When the engine is up front the rush of' air through the radiator grill keeps it nice and cool. And it’s much easier to link the controls between the dashboard and the engine. Do you know how the Amazon River got its name? A lot of people think a large lady is called an “Amazon” because the Amazon River is big. Not true. It’s the other way around! A Spanish explorer named Fran cisco de Orellana discovered the South American river in 1541, and one day his party was attacked by a tribe of fierce women. Orellana thought they must surely be de scended from a race of women war riors in Greek legend called the Amazons, who lived in Asia Minor, ruled their own country, and had their own army. So he named the river after them. Several Scout leaders were honored at the annual Dist rict Boy Scout Awards banquet Friday night at the Na tional Guard armory. From left are James P.
