Penn State Wilkes-Barre A new book by Franklyn M. ~ Branley titled Weight And Weightlessness is a recent addition to the shelves of the Children’s Annex of the Back Mountain Memorial Library. An astronaut floats in his spaceship; cameras, tools, and - food drift past him. We say that he is weightless, but what does this mean? And how does it happen that everything in a spaceship, no matter how heavy it is on earth, has no weight in space? Dr. Branley provides a clear “and simple explanation of this ~ fascinating science puzzle, with examples drawn from everyday ~ life as well as from the amazing world of space. To understand weightlessness, one must know how a spaceship is sent into ~ orbit, and this too is graphically described. The Department of Environ- mental Resources reported ' today that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has scheduled a public meeting on flood protec- tion measures for the Wyoming Valley Dec. 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the Coughlin High School in Wilkes- Barre. Col. Louis W. Prentiss Jr., district engineer in the Balti- more Office, has said the Corps’ ‘study is to determine the feas- ibility of increasing the degree of protection provided by exist- ing flood projects.

Chuck Boughton, Wilkes- Barre Campus athletic director and phys ed instructor, is well pleased with the reception his camping program has had from the second year phys ed students. Beginning shortly after the start of the fall term, he introduced a survival camping program as part of the day school athletic program, the first time that this type program has been carried out as a physical education class. Following the practicing of skills on campus, the students have spent a camping weekend at the YMCA’s Camp Kresge on the road to White Haven and during inclement weather have gone on numerous one-day camping trips including all-day Dr. Branley is ‘well known as the author of many excellent science books for young people of all ages. He is interested in all phases of astronomy and the national space program, and he instructs young people, adults, and teachers in these subjects.

Sn The students departed from the campus in the early mor- ning and did not return until late evening. While at the campsite, they put into practice camping skills such as the use and care of camp tools, firecraft, tent pitching and the construction of other types of shelter, outdoor cooking including the planning and preparation of meals for the out-of-doors. During the remainder of the anticipated. camping ex- peditions, they will practice backpacking, use of the com- pass, mapreading, and wilderness survival techniques. Spring semester in the Continuing Education Division of the local campus promises to be exciting with several new courses being offered. One aspect of the program which is new will be a series of four two- day workshops on current topics given for credit. Each workshop will take place on two consecutive Saturdays, or a Friday and a Saturday, and yields one advanced credit. The program includes drug education, sex education, ac- tivities for exceptional children, and outdoor education. Full information on these programs will be forthcoming at a future date. inner city enjoys a ‘trick’. There is fun in ‘fooling’ someone else. There is even fun in getting fooled. And so for all children here is a collection of simple sleight-of-hand tricks. The young magician can dress up like a clown. It’s easy in clothes that are too big, a hat that’s too-small and a red rubber ball for a nose. This clown can balance a glass on the edge of a plate, smell colors; or push ‘a knife right through a glass! Then there’s Noodle, the hand puppet. He’s made from a handkerchief and he carries a pencil for a magic wand. Noodle can drop a penny through a plate or pull something very funny out of a hat. And there are more tricks, to be done by one child or sometimes two, and in- structions for setting up a real magic show for lots of friends. The materials used are all inexpensive and easily ob- tained. In fact, most of them can be found already available in the home or classroom.

Gibson, director of the Bureau’s Data Collection Center in Philadelphia, stressed that no questions will be asked about party affiliation or for whom a person voted. The survey will provide a profile of the typical American voter and non-voter: age, sex, residence, education, labor force status, and family income. Profile In a similar survey following the 1968 presidential election, higher voting participation was found among men, persons 45 to 64 years, whites, people living outside the South, thosg with higher educational attaing®ent, larger family incomes; and in white-collar occupations. The voting questions are in addition to the usual ones asked in the monthly survey on em- ployment and unemployment conducted nationwide by the Bureau for the U.S. Department of Labor.
