Originally flat, rectangular copper heat sinks were employed with vary¬ ing physical dimensions so that the model number of the supply had to be known to furnish the proper design of conversion unit. The simplified design, cylindrical in shape, has physical dimensions no greater than the gas-filled-glass tube, yet has greater radiating surface than the flat rectangular design. The three tubes shown above are arranged to cover ten gas-filled tubes. The gas-filled tubes are removed from their sockets and the new Sil-Tubes screwed in. Minor circuit adjustments are required to compensate for the increase in efficiency of silicon over gas-filled tubes. Field tests have indicated that the life of these products is practically unlimited, according to the manufacturer. WANT FURTHER INFORMATION ON PRODUCTS ADVERTISED IN THIS ISSUE?

Governors To Declare Popcorn Poppers Day A presidential primary poll utilizing pop¬ corn bags, a “Tall Corn Tale Telling Contest,” and the crowning of a “Popcorn Queen” will form part of the Poppers Day celebration planned in Popcorn Village, North Bend, Neb., August 21. Governors of all 50 states are expected to declare the day as National Popcorn Poppers Day. Farmers from all sections in the nation’s Corn Belt will be the guests of honor and the object of reports on the type of popcorn crop they may expect to harvest in the years ahead. Prizes will also be awarded to the first baby born the day of the celebration, and to its Momma and Poppa “Popper.” The Tall Corn Tale Telling Contest will be judged in three categories: the corniest tale, the most interesting tale, and the tallest tale. Prizes to the winners will be a year’s supply of popcorn. Special bags depicting the leading presi¬ dential candidates have been prepared, and the celebrants will cast a ballot for the can¬ didate of their choice by picking the appro¬ priate sack of popcorn. These polls have successfully predicted the outcome of presidential campaigns since 1948, scoring correctly even when the experts failed to pick the winners. The “Popcorn Queen” will be chosen in a corn popping contest and judged strictly on her ability to pop corn, not her proper pro¬ portions. Among the attractions on display will be a popcorn stand that was patronized by every president, from T. Roosevelt to F. D. R. Op¬ erated by the late Steve Vasilakos, the stand made news all over the country three times when Washington police tried to drive Steve from the White House lawn, only to have a president of the United States intercede each time in his behalf.
