A REAL HOT ROD This new. bright-red car makes more
than 200 miles per hour but it's not for riding. It was devised
by AU American Engineering to test the strength of gear built
to stop high-speed jet aircraft on landing. The car, being used
at Georgetown, Del., has four powerful turbo-jet engines. It
runs, unmanned, on a 5,000-foot track, pushing a dead load
the weight of a twin-engine bomber. Near the end of the run,
the car is stopped suddenly and the dead load goes hurtling
into the arresting gear being tested.
School Teachers
Recommending
RockV Roll
SPRINGFIELD, III. - Rock
V roll music sometimes con
demned as Dad for juveniles, Sat
urday was recommended by Illi
nois high school music teachers
as a good way to arouse school
spirit.
A band and chorus instructor
from Chester High School, here
with colleagues from throughout
the state for the Illinois Music
Educators Assn. Conference, said
rock 'n' roll is used to good effect
particularly at basketball games.
"Without exception every band
in Southern Illinois plays it at
games," Wayne M. Thorne said.
"It elicits howls and whistles and
they think I've got a great band
because of it."
Ralph Carter, principal of Aau
nemin Consolidated High School
and leader of its -piece all-girl
band, said the group began its
concert last week with "rock
around the clock."
"1 think it'll die out," he said,
"but I don't think it's any more
sinister than the mime we piayed
when I was a kid."
Lyle Hopkins, band instructor
from Thornton Township HiRh
School t Harvey said he hasn't
made up his mind about whether
rock 'n' roll is good or bad. He
described the music this way:
"It had a tendency to 'send'
students and creates a restless
reaction. In assemblies where it's
played for 'pep' purposes with
3.000 students attending, it almost
gets out of hand. Usually you
have to play a smooth ballad aft
erward to calm them down."
Michigan Turn rig Out
Model Young Drivtrt
LANSING, Mich. Michigan
is turning out a new crop of model
young drivers this year to go
along with its new model cars.
As of Feb. 1, no Michigan
'youngster under 18 will be li
cenced to drive unless ' he has
passed an approved course in
driver education.
Other states have driver edu
cation courses in the schools, but
Michigan is the first to compel
the youngsters to pass the course
if they want to drive before 18.
Under the state law passed in
November, 1955, free driver train
ing instruction is available to
every Michigan youngster under
18 whether in public, private or
parochial school or out of school.
Standards are at least 12 hours
of behind the-wheel driving and 30
hours of classroom instruction per
pupil.
