HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1969-06-12, Page 21Robert W. Larson Ph. D., senior research food scientist for
Whirlpool Corporation, the company that manufactures food for
the U.S. space program, answers questions from students at
Robertson Memorial Public School May 26. Dr. Larson is in
charge of the feeding program for Astronauts on the Apollo
Moon Mission. He gave visual demonstrations of the types of food
• the Astronauts ate, and how they ate it, while in outer space. A
movie was also shown showing the actual manufacturing of this
food. At the right is an actual "meal setting" to feed one
Astronaut. "This food is highly concentrated," Dr. Larson
explained, "and it must be placed in hot water for the time
suggested on the labels. The tube is then inserted in the mouth
and the food squeezed from the package and chewed with the lips
closed tightly over the tube to eliminate any danger of crumbs
floating weightlessly into the mechanism of the space capsule."
The menu shown consists of Canadian bacon and applesauce,
with corn cream style, chicken bites to chew on, perhaps as la'`
snack, and dessert is fruit cake, a highly concentrated form of
Christmas cake. Dr. Larson estimates the cost of producing this
meal is in the vicinity of $100. "The cost is high, and the setting
is not elaborate, but the view is terrific)" he said. — staff photo

ROOM ONE
This past week, our class has
been learning about mobiles.
*These spinning creations were
first viewed on a film that we
saw: Next we brought various
eye-catching materials from
hone; materials such as tinfoil,
toothpicks, plastic cups, empty
spools and hangers. 1 then
bent our hangers into many
different shapes . that would
balance and turn easily. Finally
we used copper wire to attach
the decorations. Now these"
mobiles spin freely in our class
to provide an interesting sight to
•watch.

EVER WEAR
PETRIFIED WOOD?
Ever wear a piece of petrified
wood around your neck? Or
present someone with a tiger's
eye? And have you any idea how
many people are walking around
decorated with aventurine,
porphyry or sodalite? These are
some of the stones used by
disabled adults in March of
Dimes workshops to produce
attractive gemstone jewelry.
When you buy them, you help
the disabled to help themselves.

SOLIDS
We are studying solids. The
names are cylinder, sphere,
square -based .pyrainid,
r e c t a n g u lar prism, cube,
triangular prism and cone., The
parts of solids are faces, edges
and vertices. We made some of
them in our class. The hard part
is not to overlap faces. I hope we
will take it some more.
