CHESTNUT IN THE FIRE

D. Lee Chestnut has just retired from General Electric after a couple of generations of service. With GE, Lee travelled all over the nation lecturing. His retiring will change all that: he is now lecturing on such an intensive schedule that he has closed his home in Schenectady and taken Mrs. Chestnut along with him to give him some touches of home in a hotel room, like poaching an egg
Chestnut Conttd

with a 100-watt lampbulb (GE label., of course) pressing his pants under the mattress., etc. Word regarding Lee never travels as fast.as he does, sort of an exagerated Fitzgerald contraction, so to speak. For instance, word comes about a lecture he gave on "The Atom Speaks - and Echoes the Word of God" at a ccnvention in New York, then a rumor of his speaking at a CBMC breakfast two blocks from ye editor's home and then Walt Hearn reports that he spoke to a CBMC group in Ames, Iowa., including present and past deans of the College of Engineering at Iowa State College from which Lee received his degree in Electrical Engineering in 1919 (see? "couple of generations" wasn't so far off after all!). You may have guessed that the lecture tour is sponsored by the Christian Business Mens Committee. Walt and Don Robertson discussed some of the biological questions Lee often gets from his audiences and Walt reports that they didn't agree on the best answers - but they clarified the questions!

1964 CONVENTION

This makes a nice title, but there is practically nothing to say, at least known to the editor. Just little tidbits (1) date of the convention was moved to 24-28 of August, subject to review., (2) Wayne Ault and Jack McIntyre writing all around for choice papers on the ultimately small and the ultimately large and probably everything in between and (3) mmmm. . . guess there are only twol But we already know the place: John Brown University,, Siloam Springs, Arkansas, so let's plan to attend.

NEW YORK FAIR REPORT

George E. Speake of Moody Institute of Science reports that the Sermons From Scdffce pavilion is almost completed and that it is in a choice position on the Avenue of Africa., smack across from the Eastman Kodak landmark. The big problem at the moment is to equip these 500 seats with earphones, and selector switches for the multi-lingual presentation of the science film sound tracks., and to complete the construction of the special magnetic 5-channel recorders and reproducers being built in the MIS shop. Recently returning from New York., George states that 11000 counselors have already been trained and that enthusiasm is running high. If Seattle is any indication, Sermons From Science can expect about 2 million people during the two seasons. The prayers of Christians everywhere are requested, that many may come to the Savior.
