Tuesday, March 25 marked an important date in Dade County school history—the occasion of the first local science fair en¬ tered by county school students. The fair was the result of the enthusiasm and encouragement of Dade High School’s science teacher, Miss Ellen Marie Sch¬ neider, for it was through her that around a dozen boys and girls became interested enough jin the wonders of the world around us to put their brains and hands to work to produce concrete evidence of their studies. Some of this work began as early as October. Some of the entries showed much research and painstaking work with plas¬ ter and clay modelng, the sten¬ cil brush and poster paint. Also there was quite a bit of initiative showing throughout the fair. Winner The winner and perhaps out standing entries in the fair will be entered in the Sixth Chatt¬ anooga Regional Science Fair, to be held April 9 and 10 at the University of Chattanooga. The event is being sponsored by the Chattanooga Times and the Uni¬ versity of Chattanooga in co¬ operation with the public and private schools of the tri-state area. Dade High School will be en¬ tered in the following classes: Zoological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics and Physiographical Sciences. The school had about seven entries in the fair last year, with Judy Pace Forester and Patsy Wheeler winning hon¬ orable mention. This is the se¬ cond year of competition for Dade. _ It is Miss Schneider’s hope that it will be possible for awards to be given at the 1959, or second, local science fair.

For this reason, Blue Cross has never cancelled prot¬ ection because of age, the num¬ ber of times It is used, or the amount of benefits received. Naturally, the older a person becomes the more he needs pro¬ tection. There is mounting evi¬ dence of a sharp increase in the cost of providing health protec¬ tion after the age of 60 and even greater increases after the age 65- Therefore, it has become ne¬ cessary for your plan to reduce the age limit for Farm Group and Non-Group subscribers from 65 to 60 years of age. Here is our plan for offering protection to “Senior Citizens” who are not already members of your Blue Cross group: a. Present members of your group under 65 years of age may apply for protection “only” dur¬ ing the next regular re-enroll¬ ment period for your group, fol¬ lowing the date of this letter- b. After your next re-enrollment period, no new applications will be accepted on any applicant 60 years of age or older. c. The 60 year age limit applies /to those subscribers adding Blue Shield and CIE coverage. d. Also new applicants are to apply for Blue Cross-Blue Shield rather than Blue Cross alone.” This letter was signed by the Assistant Director of Tennessee Hospital Service Assn. If you have read the above carefully you will know that the “age Limit” does not apply if you al¬ ready have Blue Cross-Blue Shield Insurance. However, (c) above does point out that you must hurry if you are 60 or above if you plan to take out coverage on the “dread disease”, better known as CIE, coverage- You may secure an application to have CIE coverage added on to your present Blue Cross-Blue Shield Insurance at the County Agent’s office in Trenton.

Under¬ neath towering electric transmission structures it lays a pattern of thin zinc strips in furrows 30 inches deep. The tall structures and the high-voltage lines they bear are targets for lightning bolts. But high above the wires carrying man-made elec¬ tricity are stretched other wires to attract the lightning. The bolt strikes these highest wires. It’s guided down the structure and follows the zinc strips to lose its force underground. Plowing under the lightning bolt is one of the many little-known jobs that help to make your electric service dependable. That’s the kind of service you want whenever you flick a switch.
