A3 students in biology, chemistry, physics or mathematics are eligible to undertake an experiment or study any phase of original research. At the fair their work wi3 be clearly and attractively displayed and each student will be at hand to describe his achievement to spectators. Judges will be at hand to evaluate the purposes, methods of procedure and accomplishments. They will choose first and second best exhibits in each of the four branches: math, biology, chemistry and physics.

Awards will be announced at 8 30 p.m. From the group of winners the judges will select two to represent Aquinas at the state fair in Milwaukee next ApriL Many of the projects are also being prepared for the Future Scientists of America contest which is sponsored by the National Science Teachers Assn.

He was atone. R. G. Hauenstem, about 40, was killed wnen the plane fell onto a driveway leading to the Bjomson Lumber Co. There was no fire.

Pierce County Sheriff Roy H. Simenson said the crash occurred about 9 p. two hours after Hauenstem took off from the airport at Eau Claire, Wis. WES DENNY FOR CITY TREASURER TUESDAY, MARCH 5th ber to construct about 21,000 houses of modem design, were delivered to the 52 different lumber and togging firms that owned them Prof. Rector is a member of the history faculty at Superior State College.

He is a graduate of Dakota Wesleyan University and received his postgraduate degrees from the University of Minnesota. He has published one book on togging in the Great Lakes region and is the author of several togs that other great lumbering areas did (Chippewa Valley in Wisconsin, and Saginaw Valley in Michigan), it was unique in the length of time, nearly six decades, that it was a heavy and consistent producer. it it it Logs cut within 10 miles of Lake Mille Lacs Minnesota and within 20 miles of Lake Superior in Wisconsin were all driven down the various tributaries to the mam nver and then to the boom limits, Rector writes. There, for five full decades, the togs were stopped, sorted, rafted and delivered to their respective owners. In one representative year logs, containing enough lum NEW YORK CPf A quiet group huddled around a table in tut comer of the Marshall Chess Chib, watching an almost unbelievable game.

The players were Donald Byrne, a chess master, and Bobby Fischer, a 13-year-old Brooklyn schoolboy playing in his first major tournament Time and again with bold, surprising moves Bobby outfoxed bis more experienced opponent. it it it Impossible, whispered one of the onlookers. Byrne is losing to a 13-year-old nobody. Mate, said this nobody, and the game wa3 over, Bobby had earned nis first victory the Lessing J. Rosenwald Trophy Tournament.

Chess Review magazine called It the game of the century a stunning masterpiece of combination play performed by a boy of 13 against a formidable opponent, matching the finest on record the history of chess prodigies. Bobby didnt win the Rosenwald tournament the trophy went to Sammy Reshevsky, the ranking U.S. player-but the crew-cut youngster who would rather play chess than eat established himself as a young man to watch. New York chess enthusiasts have recognized Bobbys ability for several years. Hans Kmoch, secretary-manager of the Manhattan Chess Club, says: For his age, I dont think there is any better chess player in the world.

He is a genuine prodigy and wie of the best players our club." Bobby appears embarrassed by all the attention he has drawn since he defeated Byrne. I just made the moves 1 thought were best, be says modestly. I was just lucky. Where did he learn the game? My sister taught me when I was 6, he says. She was 12 and didnt know too much about the game, but she told me where and how to move the pieces.

I liked it and have been playing it ever since. it it Does he want to continue playing the game and perhaps become one of the great players? I could play chess all my life," he answers shyly. I like tournaments and would like to play in a lot of them. As for being great, 1 dont know about that. Kmoch, however, has fewer reservations: The outlook is brilliant.

If he continues to proceed the way he has the past year or two, hes Lkely to become one of the greatest players of all time. MADISON (Special) The millions of feet of togs that floated down the St. Croix River during the heyday of lumbering were stopped, sorted and scaled at a huge boom that stretched across the river. The story of this boom, and the St. Croix Boom Corp.

that operated it, is told in the current issue of the Wisconsin Magazine of History, published by the State Historical Society. The article, The Birth of toe St. Croix Octopus, was written by Prof. William G. Rector, Superior State College.

it it St. Croix and lumber were almost synonymous words in the last half of the 19th century, Prof. Rector wntes. The great pineries of northern Wisconsin and Minnesota, feeding togs into the St Croix and its tributaries, created the need for a device to collect, then disburse the togs to their owners. The boom was such a device: a barrier placed in the river that stopped the flow of togs, sorted, scaled, rafted and delivered them before they continued them drive down the river to sawmills.

Summer was the height of the season for the St. Croix boom. Mill-owners, raft pilots, loggers, raftsmen and tog dealers gathered at the boom and it was said that if a visitor to the St. Croix Valley wished to find a resident, he went first to the boom, not to the mans home. The St.

Croix Boom formed by lumbermen from Wisconsin nd Minnesota, controlled and dictated the flow of logs down the river, the author wntes. A commercial octopus, it also determined to a large extent the economic life of surrounding lumbering communities: Prescott, Osceola, St. Croix Falls, Taylors Falls, Franconia, Stillwater. Although the St. Croix region never produced the quantity of kit- art AIMS PLUSH PILE BR0ADL00MS Report Army Has Launched Medium Range Missile WASHINGTON Ufl Informed sources say the Army has successfully launched its Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile the Jupiter from Patrick Air Force Ease on the Florida East Coast.
