“Space Baby” Not Sure
She Wants to Use
Ticket to The Moon
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., lift—Nancy
Joyce Carpenter, 8, isn’t so sure,
now that she wants to use that'
ticket she has for a trip to the
moon.
The little blonde girl came to
Redstone Arsenal last week to
check on progress for the trip.
She got a little way into space
by standing atop a Saturn booster
mounted on a 177 - foot captive
test stand.
When she was 11 months old
Nancy Joyce was chosen “Space
Baby” in a contest with 50 other
babies at Redstone Arsenal.
As the prize, Dr. Wernher Von
Braun awarded her a “round-trip
ticket to the moon via the first
available rocket ship.”
Nancy Joyce and her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Carpenter,
of Alexandria, Va., stopped by the
arsenal while on vacation. They
called on Von Braun, now direc
tor of the Marshall Space Flight
Center and were taken on a tour
of the laboratories.
After she came down from the
booster stand her father said,
“Nancy is not sure she wants to
leave the good earth.”

It Takes Oysters
And Sea Water to
Make Magesium
DETROIT — Tons of ocean
water and thousands of oysters
are combined to produce the
lightest metal used in the 19G1
Dodge Lancer—magnesium.
The world supply of magne
sium is inexhaustible. The supply
is so great that figures stagger the
imagination.
Hidden within each cubic mile
of sea water is nearly 12 billion
pounds of magnesium—and there
are 346 million cubic miles of sea
water. One bathtub full of sea
water holds a pound of the metal.
“If magnesium were produced
at the rate steel is today,” Podce
Chief Engineer George Gibson
said, “and if this production were
continued for 1,000 years, the
magnesium content of the world’s
oceans would be reduced by about
only one hundredth of one per
cent.”
Magnesium has found it way
into the 1961 Dodge Lancer where
everyone can see it—on the dash
board. The Lancer’s instrument
cluster housing and heater - de
froster-transmission control hous
ings are made of magnesium.
The Lancer, Gibson added, is
only 1961 Chrysler Corporation
car using magnesuim.
Total weight of the Lancer
housings, which are die cast, is
3% pounds. Magnesium is only
two-thirds as heavy as aluminum.
Dodge gets its magnesium from
the Dow Chemical Company of
Midland, Mich. Dow obtains the
magnesium from the Gulf of
Mexico and casts the housings for
Dodge at its metal products plant
in Bay City, Michigan.
The magnesium is taken from
the sea water through an electro
lytic process at Dow’s Freeport,
Texas plant. Calcium is needed
in the process. This is where the
oysters come in.
Oyster shells are dredged from
near-by Galveston Bay and roast
ed to obtain the lime in the
shells. The lime contains calcium,
which replaces magnesium in the
sea water during the process.
WEATHER FORECAST
Cloudy with light snow and
gusty easterly winds. Lowest tem
perature expected tonight 10 to
15, the high tomorrow 15 to 20.
In the past 24 hours: highest
temp. 15, lowest 8. Max. wind 28
mph from E.N.E. Sunrise at 9:36
а. m., sunset at 2:08 p.m.
A year ago today: high temp.
б, lowest -10. Extremes on this
date since 1907: highest 36 in
1934, lowest -30 in 1916.
VITAMINS FROM SEAWEED
OSLO, Norway, OP) — Nor
wegians are starting to get their
daily dose of vitamins through
seaweed. One company has ended
three years of tests on a new
tonic drink made from seaweed.
Other companies are marketing a
crisp bread made of flour and

contains vitamins A to K and 60
