| Body: | Here it is! The name of our paper is HALING0
hi-LIGHTS. Many thanks to those whose sug-
gestions stimulated more suggestions until we
finally found one that seems to agree with
everybody -- Halinco being our cable address
and hi being our trade mark. This is a combin-
ation of suggestions by Barbara Goode and Mr.
Schimbor, revised by me and smiled upon by
Mr. Hallikainen.

If you walk through the shop on a Wednesday
or Friday afternoon you will see Harold Halli-
kainen at his workbench with his soldering
iron and his pile of terminal strips.
He Is
putting solder on the connections on the
strips for the Thermotrol. He likes to work
here at the shop, but he is not old enough
to be on the regular payroll, so his father
has to pay him. He also likes school -- he
is in fifth grade. When he is not working
or going to school he and his friends exper-
iment with scientific devices.
He got a set
of monophones and connected them to a
friend' s house across the street, but they
strung the wire too low over the sidewalk
and created a hazard for passing pedestri-
ans , so
he had to take it down. His next
project is a radio transmitter, but he has to
be satisfied with sending signals only 50
feet because the FCC won't issue him a
license.
Life will be much more interesting
for Harold when he is old enough to do the
things he wants to do without tangling with
the law. Right now he is looking forward to
spending a week at Tahoe as soon as his
father can take time off from business.
The Liske brothers with some help kept the
Bowling Team going during vacation.
Last
week Tom Hale had high game, 17 2, and
this wee]: he brought his average up 23
points. Only four of the boys made it this
week; Ron Bultena bowled a high game of
213, and with the help of George Seiji. and
Herb Liske they won all four games. Good
job, boys ! Keep up the spirit.
The new system of time cards is keeping
the boys in the shop busy shuffling pieces
of paper through the slot. What next ! ! !
