Madsen Director, PT&FD Shade addresses SLC symposium RONS EIGHT MONTH project included the isolation and practical application of sagebrush oil The essential oil of sagebrush was extracted by steam distillation in Rons own lab at home where all his work was done. He found that the oil, after many experiments, was a highly effective insecticide, larvicide, insect repellant, bactericide, and fungicide. He also found the pil to be an excellent solvent, and possessed notable corrosion preventative properties. The oil is extracted from the leaves qnd according to Ron it takes about 20 pounds of sagebrush leaves to make one quart of oil. The type of sagebrush used is Artemisia Tridentata which is indigenous to Utah and can be disd tinguished from other species by its characteristic Terming the Deseret Test Center participation in the 11th International Junior Science and Humanities Symposium as a sound investment in the future - the future of our nation and of the world, Colonel Robert A.

There will be five selected from the National Symposium to compete in the World Science Symposium in July at Fort Night London. An anonymous committee of scientists selected Ron for the honor. Five other Intermountain Area high school students were singled out for presenting the best of 24 session. Ron will be the only one papers at the four-da-y of the group to present his paper to the National Sym- speaker. The Intermountain 3-d- posium. His interest in chemistry began when he was in the i third grade. It grew over the years and last year he presented a paper to the same symposium on the Application of Wet Qualtitative Analysis for the Identification of Elements in Utah Rocks.

Ron Dolle, a junior at Dugway High and winner of the highest award at the recent Junior Science and Humanities Symposium in Salt Lake City is diown working, on his project in the laboratory he has constructed in the storage room of his home. Junior Science and Humanities Symposium is jointly sponsored by the U.S. Army Research Office in Durham, N.C., the University of Utah and the Deseret Test Center. As a part of the National Junior Science and Humanities Program, the symposium is conducted to promote the study of sciences and mathematics and to stimulate thinking concerning the role which the humanities play in the development of scientists. Col. Shade, who has Master of Science degrees in both physics and business administration, focused his remarks scientific development on within the Army and some of the resultant technological spin- - offs that have benefited society in general. Pointing to the economic and social benefits derived from Army scientific endeavors, Col. Shade mentioned DTC efforts in the field of environmental research. During the past two summers, he told tihe students, Deseret Test Center scientists have worked with the US Forest Service in evaluating insect control techniques for national forests, which will lead to preservation of the forests for all to enjoy. The DTC commander also mentioned the commands work in air pollution monitoring network models and water pollution from industrial facilities, particularly ammunition manufacturing plants. The keynote speaker ended his address by mentioning the importance of die humanities. This symposium deals with the humanities also, he remarked. And this is an area we cannot afford to overlook. Col. Shade emphasized the importance of communications to the scientists. Your work and mine will be in vain, he told his audience, if we fail to communicate its relevance, its usefulness, and its worth. |
