When an accelerated proton strikes the foil, another proton is added to the nucleus of aluminum atoms. Counts Gamma Rays This nucleus then has an excess of energy, which is expelled by the emission of a gamma ray. With a Geiger counter, loaned to him by the local high school, Mike can count the rays thus produced and plot the total number of reactions taking place.

A graph will indicate the nuclear resonance of the aluminum nucleus with respect to the energy of the protons bombarding the aluminum. Air in the glass tube and the target chamber is pumped out to create a vacuum in which the particles will move more freely.

Plan To Expand General Telephone plans to expand and improve Richmond Home Telephone company facilities to the tune of $415,000 in 1960, J. H. Shultz, general manager, announced Thursday.

Shultz said this money would be spent for additional local and long distance facilities. Included in the work to be done in the Richmond area is the placing of approximately 50,000 feet of cable and about 300 new telephone poles. Conduct Surrey Four engineers have started-work on a three-month geological survey of Richmond and surrounding area. It is a small part of a project to complete topographic maps of the state of Indiana. The work is under the supervision of the United States Geological survey, a division of the Department of the Interior.

State engineer of the project is W. S. Waggoner of New Castle and district engineer is G. F. Westinghouse, 101 South Seventeenth street.

To Conduct Classes Two Red Cross first-aid classes will start next week at the Red Cross chapter house, 19 North Thirteenth street. One class will start Tuesday from 7:30 to 9:30 p. m. and continue for five Tuesdays. The second class will start Thursday from 7:30 to 9:30 p.

Robert Carpenter, local science Instructor, explained that this group of 448 is composed of the top 10 per cent of all those entered in the competition. Forty of the 448 later will be named Talent Search winners and will make a trip to Washington, D. C.

Mike's entry in the contest was a report, with accompanying photographs, on his proton accelerator. The 10-page paper is entitled "The Design, Construction and Proposed Use of an Electrostatic Particle Accelerator." The talented youngster is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin P. Meadows, 2320 Reeveston road.

He has worked on his project for about two years; the apparatus is set up in the basement of his home. In one of three reports that Mike has written on his work, he explains that the accelerator is "designed to speed up atomic bullets or particles with which i to unlock the secrets of the atom.j These particles, which are actually light atoms or fragments of atoms, are allowed to impinge on a target, and conclusions are drawn from the effect the particle has on the target or conversely." Will Soon Complete Mike pointed out that the apparatus is not yet operational, but he hopes to complete it soon.
