Sail 4, as Ng Wm fi .gt Si: -15 SWEEPSTAKES! Greg Shalamunec examines his model of a wind tunnel which took top award at State Fair. Our Atomic-A New ideas, a fresh approach to old problems come from youthful scientists. For that reason, America has taken an especially active interest in the development of boys and girls who show talent along scientific lines. Today's zestful youngsters will be tomorrow's space men, engineers, planners, and inventors who will draw all of us ever nearer to the stars. ge Scientists Central's Greg Shalamunec is our l96O nominee.
