ALBUQUERQUK, N. M. IL'PH
Perhaps the youngest person
working for the Peace Corps in
South America is Lopelin. an
urchin of about seven who is the
title character in a comic strip
published in Colombia by "t.1
Tiempo" of Bogota.
Artist Ernesto Franco, 34, works
on his daily strip in a dormitory
room at the University of New
Mexico, where he is a member
of a "counterpart" group of 16
Colombians training with the
Peace Corps.
He compared the newspaper
feature to the "Peanuts" comic
strip familiar to readers in the
United States, and said the life of
young "Copelin" typifies the pov
erty and illiteracy facing Colom
bia.
Franco, who earns about $3 per
installment of the comic, will re
turn to his country to work in
educational television as part of
the Peace Corps community de
velopment program.

Swan was an educator and
farmer. His interest turned to
the more promising form of farm

with moisture controlled by the
reclamation project. Later his
land at Merrill was traded for
river - bottom soil near Junction
City, where he was a pioneer in
the raising and irrigation of pole
beans for the Eugene Fruit!
Orowers.
After retiring from the cdu
lional world, he and Mrs. Swan
lived on the Junction Citv farm.

what do you have?
Well, if you're William Schell
you have a "time machine." It's
not a contraption like the one
H. G. Wells imagined to transport
man physically back into the past
or forward to the future, but one
to determine the age of things
through a system known as the
Carbon-14 process.
Schell, a graduate research as
sistant in chemistry at the Uni
versity of Washington, has set up
his apparatus in the basement of
Bagley Hall on the campus.
It appears to be quite compli
cated, but the process is based
on the simple theory that any
carbon C-14 can be dated bv
merely counting the radioactive
material containing radioactive
rays it emits. And scientists are
convinced that plants, animals
even sea water have been ab
sorbing Carbon-14 on this earth
(or millions of years.
C-14 is formed in the upper at
mosphere by the collision of cos
mic particles with nitrogen. After
a series of chemical changes as
it falls to earth it winds up in
plants, for instance, during pho
tosyntheseis, which is the process
that produces carbohydrates and
makes green plants green.
Because they know the nature
of C-14, scientists can count its
rate nf radioactivity by compar
ing the C-14 in old material with
that in new and, using a precal-i
culated scale, can determine the
age of the old material. '
The problem is constructing an
accurate counter. And that's
where the Colorado's cannon
comes in.
A pure steel housing was need
ed to protect Schell's counter
from ever-present outside radio
activity. But modern steel is
made in a process involving ra
dioaclive Cobalt-16. However, the
gun barrels of the Colorado were
forged before tlie new method
was used and this-is-just what
Schell needed.

time and the slcepin' is easy if
you follow these tips on beating
the heat.
A firm which manufactures bed
ding suggested the bedroom can
be kept cooler by closing the
windows and drawing the shades
or blinds just before noon. This
helps keep outside heat from en
tering. Open windows at night
when you retire.
Take a lukewarm bath or show
er, never a cold one, to relax
you before retiring.
Use cotton sheets instead of
nylon. Sleeping under a sheet is
a good idea, since it will protect
from any temperature drops or
drails that might occur during
the night.
A hail pillow , although relative
ly hard, is cooler than a down
pillow. Foam rubber pillows are
the warmest.
