Scientists Have Fling At Christopher Columbus

By PAT GLEASON HI 4-5043 Amateur scientists took to the field and school officials took to the shelters as Christopher Columbus High School opened its first science exposition of the year. The button-pushing, knob-turning, switch-flipping exposition honored some 99 projects produced by the student body. Held for the purpose of stimulating the creative minds of modern day youth, the fair was heralded a success resulting from presentation of many original and prize winning entries. This was the first of a series of three science displays, the others to be held in February and March. The ultimate goal of these presentations is to find the right projects to be entered in the final science fair, the annual County Science Fair, held at Dinner Key. Last year, unfortunately, Columbus took only honorable mentions but looks ahead this year to taking a substantial prize. All projects were judged two-fold, for time and effort, together with originality. Judges were Brother Ciemet, director of sciences for the school, and Mr. Egan, who teaches freshman biology. In the different divisions, Lawrence Oteck took first prize in chemistry. George Alfred took first in electronics. First in physics was taken by Lloyd McAvory. First for engineering was given to John Pope. Zoology (man) was won by Dave Vance. Zoology, other than man, was won by Peter Zarzechi and the most outstanding in psychology and botany were John Devanna and Jeffery Gills, respectively. Last week could be termed lecture week at Columbus for an unusual number of orations were given. The first to greet the student assembly was the United States Coast Guard. Lieutenant Prince from the Coconut Grove base discussed the advantages of becoming an active member of the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn. Father Brubaker, previous pastor of Little Flower Church in Coral Gables, gave a talk on vocations, and Brother Steven, provincial counsel of the Marist Brothers, visiting from New York, spoke on "The Life of a Brother." Brother Stephen, by the way, an excellent tenor, sang a few rounds from Oklahoma before leaving. Another event for Columbus is coming up on Dec. 10. The Football Banquet will be held to honor Columbus' growing football force.

McDonald Chain Boasts World's Fastest Meal

The world's fastest restaurant service is claimed by the McDonald's drive-in chain, which has a unit here in Miami at 3145 NW 7th St. A meal of a hamburger plus French fried potatoes and triple-thick milkshake is prepared in an average time of 90 seconds, reports Don Lehn, who operates the local McDonald's. "Our system of service is as meticulously worked out as a Detroit production line," Lehn said. "And like Detroit, we insist on quality as well as speed in service." McDonald's units turn out an average of 70,000 burgers and 31,000 shakes a month and as high as 1700 orders of French fries in a day. "Uniformity in food preparation pays off in low prices for our customers," says Don. Lehn notes: "Our self-service policy is the basic factor of our quick meal. The customer never has to wait for carhop to take his order, bring his tray, and collect his check." Orders are taken at a window in the plate glass wall of the drive-in directly from the customer, who carries his sandwichies to his car or home. No carhops are employed and no person may enter the food preparation area except the operator and employes.

Vandals Set Fire To House

Vandals set fire to one vacant house and created havoc in another Dec. 2 and 3 in Coral Gables. Coral Gables police reported that a home owned by Mrs. Henry W. Graham, 65 Morningside, was damaged when the vandals broke in and started a fire in a bedroom. The fire stained the floor, which may have to be rebuilt. At a home owned by Francisco Montera, of 2820 Columbus Cir., at 2834 DeSoto Blvd., two teenage vandals were seen leaving the building after they had spread the contents of three soap boxes all over the house. They also broke a mirror.

Fiji Islands fire walkers use no tricks, the National Geographic Magazine says. Physicians who have watched the ceremony attribute the phenomenon of dancing on red-hot stone pits to self-hypnosis induced by deep faith.
