and see the beautiful silvery re
sults. No other lamp can achieve
this effect. 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.

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

pletely new and different look.

there is a pocket portable ra

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.
