ft rAGE TWO SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1958 OGDENSBURG JOURNAL Glass Needle Role of \Fath Reproduction Usurps »• • er in Experiment By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor Philadelphia—Science opened a new chapter in the mysteries of human reproduction today, with, a Vfest tube experiment in which a 'sharp-pointed, solid glass needle fnaurped .the role of \father.\ *' The needle pricked an unfertl- ? lized • human ovum, the \egg\ which develops into a baby. The ovum thereupon took its first, mi- croscopic step toward reproduc- tion. It cast off two small gobs called polar bodies and formed a furrow which -was declared to be the 'start of \ceil division.\ Dividing,of the ovxim into two, the twoj into lour and so on is the way a fertilized germ cell grows. The experiment, the first in the alitory of scitace on human material, was reported to the Phil- adelphia Pathological Society last .night, by Stanley P. Beimann, M.D., and Bernard J, Miller of the Lank- enau Hospital Research Institute. The ovum was obtained from a woman, during • a surgical opera- tion. A.few thousandths of an inch in diameter* it lived for about six hours under a microscope while it played its little drama in a drop of clear serum from human blood. It died apparently from lack of suitable environment. \Mr. Miller,\ said Dr. Stanley, \is now experimenting to find a medium in which the ovum will live longer, we hope as much as 24 hours. We would like to see what one will do when given more time.\ \I'm surprised,\ exclaimed one pathologist, \that it is possible to get so gay with a human ovum.\ The response of the tiny \egg\ to the needle is known as parthen- ogenesis, a word scientists trans- late as \virgin birth.\ Two kinds are known. One, called ''natural,\ is com- mon in many insects and equally \low orders\ of animals. Virgin mothers reproduce without mating for generation after generation. The other is \artificial.\ Treat- ing an egg with chemicals or stick- ing the point of a needle into the ovum, substitutes for sexual ferti- lization. MANY ATTEND NOVEN A IN MORRISTOWN Morristown—A most enthusiastic reception was given to the famous devotion to the Mother of Sorrows last night in Saint John's Catholic Church, Morristown, New York. The Reverend Father V. Noel Zimmerman, who requested the presence of the Servlte Mission- ary from Chicago to establish this devotion, was most pleased with the wonderful attendance. Says, Father Zimmerman: \This devotion, undoubtedly shall bring many spiritual favors and bless- ings into the hearts and homes of our people. Already they have shown themselves. Our Blessed Mother, into whose care we place • our people, shall draw all of us closer to the Cross of Her Di- vine Son, Jesus Christ, shall teach many spiritual favors and bless ings into the hearts and homes of our people. Already they have shown themM!l»<.-s. Our Blessed Mother, into whose care we place our people, shall draw nil of us closer to the Cross of Her Di- vine Son, Jesus Christ, shall teach us how to accept the many crosses and trials besetting us, shall guide us in the most important task of all- .... the salvation of our immortal souls.\ This devotion, si aofftllng and attractive s'iaU continue each Friday night thruout the entire year. A welcome invitation is ex- tended to all to participate. TURKEY SCHOOL HELD TODAY AT HEUVETON Canton—New York State turkey growers learned at first-hand how to grade and dress their turkeys for the holiday market at a school for turkey raisers at Heuvelton Friday through cooperation of the St. Lawrence County Farm Bu- reau, the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture and Markets. Approximately 100 producers of turkeys attended the school, ac- cording to Morton Adams, St. Law- rence County Agricultural- agent. Lectures and demonstrations were given by Thomas W. Heltz, mar- keting specialist of the division of dairy and poultry products, TJ. S. Department of Agriculture. Anticipating increased consumer demands for graded New York State turkeys, the Department of Agriculture and Markets has pre- pared for free distribution a book on turkeys containing information about the holiday birds and many recipes for cooking turkeys, mak- ing different stuffing and using leftover turkey in a variety of ways. The book will be sent with- out cost upon request to Consum- ers' Information Service, De- partment of Agriculture and Mar- kets, Albany. The Department's Bureau of Markets again this year will pro- vide a weekly summary covering turkey markets and prices during November and December.

Tre- maine. A summary of the report has been prepared by the Bureau of Municipal Accounts and copies have been forwarded to local offi- cials. The summary contains the following; \Oatha of officers were found on file in the county clerk's office with the exception of one asssesor who had Inadvertently filed his oath in the office of the town clerk, \Official undertakings had been executed, approved and filed as provided by law. \The examiner called attention to the fact that the undertakings cover a term of office and in the event that a greater average cov- erage is desired the penalty of the board should be increased in some substances. The examiner states that the records on file in the office of the supervisor had been maintained in a very orderly and efficient man- ner. \The supervisor had maintained the uniform system of accounts for towns and the financial records indicated that considerable care and ability had been exercised in the maintenance of such records. \The examiner calls attention to a transfer of funds from general to item 3 of the highway fund. This practice is irregular as the ex- penditure of highway funds is pre- sumed to be confined to the budg- et appropriation for the various items contained therein. If the $100,000 item transferred from gen- eral to machinery fund represent- ed a surplus in that fund, It should have been used for the reduction of taxes in the following year and the expenditures of highway funds confined to the amount raised. \The record relating to School fund disbursements disclosed the fact that in some instances school district collectors failed to ob- serve the provisions of the Educa- tion Law relative to the filing of surety bonds. \The examiner discusses at length a situation which exists in> relation to trust funds held for per- petual care of cemetery lots and points out the statutes which ap- parently direct a different custody of these funds. \The examiner also discusses a trust fund loft for the maintenance of a library and calls attention to the fact that some method of In- demnity for' possible loss of these funds should? be adopted by the town board. \The examiner Is complimen- tary in relation to the manner In which the town clerk hos conduct- ed the duties of his office except that the minute book of the pro- ceedings of the town board is found upon inspection to be in- complete in several respects. The examiner points out the discrepan- cies and it is assumed that the town clerk will hereafter follow statutory directions In relation to conduct of his duties. \A detailed examination of the claims audited and allowed indi- cated an oversight on the part o[ the supervisor In that a charge was made for per diem services in attendin - ; town board meetings at which only highway business was conducted. These services should be compensated by the payment of a flat sum to be fixed by the town board and no further charge made therefor. The board did fix such allowance for the su- pervisor but failed to do so in re- lation to the town clerk. \A claim submitted by one of the justices of the peace was In lump sum but paragraph 103 of the Town Law prescribes that these claims should be submitted in detail form and, therefore, claims of the justices as submitted should have been disallowed or re- turned for proper itemization. \It; appears that two officials were paid for services on election day whereas an election district where only one voting machine is used statutes do not provide for extra election officials. \Section 104 of the Town Law has been violated In that claims in which town officers had an In- terest for other than salary or nec- essary disbursement had been au- dited and allowed. \It appears that ft fund of $2000, was raised by tax and credited to the general fund as an extra ap- propriation. There Is no authority for this procedure. This town is a town of the second class and not on a budget system. Therefore, no authority exists for raising funds to be used for possible unantici- pated purposes. \It appears that the justice of the peace In the town who had conducted the major part of the criminal business accounted to the town board only once a year whereas fines imposed by the jus- tice and collected should be turned over to the supervisor monthly. \An examination of the records of the town welfare officer dis- closed some laxity in relal'on to the presentation of claims to be paid from public welfare funds. In many Instances these claims wore not set forlh in sufficient detail as to permit an intelligent audit \The examiner in concluding his report states his appreciation for the cooperation extended to him by all of the officials and em- ployees of the town with whom he came In contact during the course of the examination.\ SERIAL STORY LOVERS AWEIGH COFVRlaHT, IIN NKA SERVICE, INC. BY BETTY WALLACEt Cast of Characters Judy Alcott — admiral's daughter. She faced «. choice between two navy suitors. Dwlght Campbell—-ambitious lieutenant. He faced a choice between his wife and duty. Jack Harney—flying sailor. He faced a test of a. patient love. Mavel Hastings—-navy wife. She faced the test of being a. good sailor. • • • Yesterday: After accusing Judy of loving Dwlght, Marvel prepares to leave hurriedly for Los Angeles. She refuses to reason with Judy about Dwlght's sudden call to duty. CHAPTER VI As Judy Alcott walked out of the Coronado Hotel, with the memory of Marvel Hastings' white face and narrowed green eyes throbbing inside her, she thought slowly, \I ought to hate her. But I don't. I feel sorry for her. She's in love with him, and she's so un- sure . . . .\ But remembering what Marvel had flung at her. In that cool, ar- rogant voice, she flushed,- \You're In love with him.\ It hadn't taken Marvel long to see that. Because she was Jealous. Jealous, and un- sure. Judy drove home slowly. Dwlght was out at sea now. She thought of white wakes, boiling astern. Of gray ships riding the hlglx seas In a proud battle line. She thought of planes rolling down a carrier's deck. A signal, and they were whirling aloft. Facing the sky. sharing in a vast, incomprehensi- ble Job that no woman could ever wholly understand. \Even their ships,\ she said to herself, \are better friends, more to be trusted, than their wives . . . . \ And It hurt, but it was true. The ships came back In four days. Judy stood on the pier, watching the liberty boats put into the water. How many times she had seen them like this, sliding smoothly Into the harbor, dropping anchor, announcing proudly the the job was done. What job? She didn't know. It didn't matter. She went back to her car and sat quietly while streams of en- listed men poured into the waiting town. Up Broadway they went, swaggering a little, tanned and young and muscular. Sailor boys. And there were women waiting for them, too. Wives and sweet- hearts. Judy wondered, suddenly, if the most blondlned, the most raucous little dance hall girl could have put on a worse show of tern- per than the expensively groomed, superbly finished Marvel Hastings had. done, • • • She stepped on the starter. It had been a mistake, coming down here. She .ought to wait at home for Dwlght. He'd come. But when she got home, she found Jack Han- ley. She had not seen him since that night aboard the battleship, when they had quarreled. He had not telephoned. She had felt humili- ated because she knew that he must have heard Dwlght was go- ing to marry a rich girl from the east; and so he had known that Judy had lied to him. But de- spite her consciousness that their next meeting would be embar- rassing, she had missed him in a curious fashion. She had come to depend co much on those casual evenings when he dropped around and they danced to the radio or sat on the porch, idly talking. So now f he was glad to ceo hbn, and yet intermingled with her gladness was the memory of that lie. She wondered if he would re- fer to it. But he did not. He only sold. \Hello. Judy.\ and she said, M Hello. You look all in!\ He did. He was tired. It was in the suddenly deep lines of his face; in the eyes that looked worn and heavy; In the way his long legs sprawled out. She said, 7 'FIown a good many weary miles?\ and he grunted. Then she asked him how the four days at sea had gone. He said, \Some little -whim of the admir- al's. Working out a pet notion, or something. Not regular maneuvers but the battleships had target practice, and we had scouting and meeting the patrol boats and all that.\ Yet the look on lite face meant more than mere routine flights. There was more to it than that She asked swiftly, \Casualties?\ \One he admitted reluctantly. He told her that a light fighter off the Enterprise, spiralling Into the clouds, had come way gotten Into trouble. Not engine trouble, for the mechanics checked the chips too carefully before each flight. \Maybe he got rattled. He never did fly into formation.\ He had nose dived, spinning into the sea, and one of the big flying boats had come down on the chop- py water to render assistance. \Only he said carefully, not looking at her. \It was too late.\ She lielted her suddenly dry lips. \Who was it? Anyone I know?\ \No. It was a kid recently transferred from Penracola.\ •• * « That meant he had not been fly- ing long. She felt a little r»lck. There were not so many casualties now as there ured to be, her fa- ther said, proudly. The navy won building some real flyern. But there were enough ro that you couldn't ever forget the bravery of men who flew. Enough so that Jack must have known, in a swift, awful flash as he watched that oth- er man going down, that maybe some day It might be his own ship that dived like that, straight into green water .... Every man in the squadron faced that possi- bility. They were gallant, Joking about it. or simply ignoring it But it was there. And the wives of the men who piloted airplanes must live always under the shadow of disaster. Judy thought of Diane Bell, who never slept nights when Bill was on duty. Diane hod said once, \They die a thousand times. Over and over and over in your mind. And then at last—the real time—when it actually happens.\ She had added, \Maybe IPs a re- lief. • To know it's over. You don't have to worry any more.\ Judy touched Jack's hand swift- ly. Her eyes sought his. \Prom- ise me you'll be careful, Jack!\ He patted her reassuringly. The tired eyes came allye, \I'm care- ful. I—-I didn't think you'd care much—though—'' \Of course I care!\ she said. The doorbell rang. She leaped to her feet. \That must be Dwlght.\ \Dwight?\ Jack's face was sud- denly still and guarded, and the things they had said that night on the battlewagon seemed to come alive between them. \I thought he—\ Judy explained swiftly, \His girl flew here from the east, you know. But when ha had to shove off, she got mad, and ran away, I guess he—he went to her hotel first and he—h« wants to ask me about it.\ \But what do you know about it?\ Jack was frowning. » » • There was no time to explain further. She opened the door, and Dwlght, his handsome face flushed and his eyes bright with Impa- tience was asking, \What happened to Marvel? She's checked out of the Coronado!\ \I know it,\ Judy said quietly. \Won't you como In and sit down. I'll tell you .... what little I know ....'* Dwight greeted Jack, and sat down on the sofa beside him. Judy had not expected Jack to be present when she gave Marvel's message to Dwlght, but there was no help for it now. She said, \I went there, as you asked me to, Dwight. I—I tried to explain to her. But she wouldn't listen. She was very angry. She kept say- ing that you could have stayed If you'd wanted to. I explained and explained—tried to make her see—but she said she was leaving for Los Angeles and never com- ing- back.\ \Leaving?\ Dwight'a head jerked forward, and he cried, \For God's sake, couldn't you have talked a little sense into her? I wasn't off on any pleasure jauntl\ \I know it. But she Just wouldn't listen,\ Dwlght's face seemed to be growing paler. He said, \Los Angeles. Well, I know where she Is. With those friends of hers. I'll po after her.\ But then he said, \Still you shouldn't have let her go. Judy.\ \What could I do to stop her?\ Judy asked. Dwight said, with an odd laugh, \You could have stopped her, all risht. Girls can get along with one another if they want to. May- be she—she sort of got the idea you didn't care much.\ \Care?\ Judy was suddenly blazlngly furious. \I cared enough to go there when you asked me to. I cared enough to - stick my nore Into corocUilng that wasn't any of my business. What else could I do?\ Jack Hanley said quietly, \As a matter of act, Campbell, Judy did •.surely toe-much &* It was. If I'd known she was going over there to explain navy necessity to your fiancee, I'd have stopped her. That's a subject you ought to ac- quaint her with yourself. Judy has had grief enough on your ac- count, Campbell.\ \Grief?\ snapped Dwight \Just what do you mean by that?\ (To Be Continued) M. E.

BABSON- Babson Park, Mass. — With the election out of the way, it is time to forget politics and to get \busy. We have had hard times in Amer- ica for so long that we have lost our perspective. Even the most cheerful and optimistic observers think that the 1929 business peaks can never be scaled again. Yet, in the midst of today's uncertain- ty, I am willing to forecast that American business within a few years can pass 1929 peaks, if everybody will quit trying to ride in the cart and will* instead, help to pull it « Glance at a chart of United States business for the past 70 or BUDD BRACY HEADS JUVENILES AT SCOTCH BUSH By HILDA TROTTER Scotch IBuih—Tlio regular meet- ing of IScotch Bush Juvenilps Grange was held Nov. 5 with 10 members present.

You will see that in 1871- 73 activity reached the higlipst peak up to that time. Then fol- lowed a loud crash and a long dreary depression. Read the news- papers of 1873-1878 and you will find just the same gloomy, pessi- mistic attitude about the future of America as we hear today. Yet, great prosperity soon returned.-J Peaks In '73 And '90 Look along to 1890-3 and yo'u will find that business made an- other new all-time high in those years. This was followed by the usual panic and then five years of depression. 1897 marked the bot- tom of that depression. I remem- ber that date vividly for it was the year that I finished my work- at Massachusetts Institute or Tech- nology. When I started out to hunt a job that Spring, everyone was ready to give the country back to the Indians. Yet, four short years later business had chalked up a new record. It is Interesting to note that no boom period ever stopped before the previous highs had been broken! Why? Because of new in- dustries. Just think, in 1873 the majority of today's biggest indus- tries were not even known! The first transcontinental railroad bad just been finished. The same was true in the next boom. Many of our biggest industries of today were unheard of in 1890. The point I want to emphasize is that in every earlier period when it looked as though Ameri- can business had stallet 1 , new in- dustries swept us on to undreamed of heights! Tomorrow we will again be blessed by a flood of more new industries and myriads of new products. More patents have been issued in the past ten yearB than in any previous decade in our his- tory. A huge demand for our old, as well as new, products has been built up by a whole decade of sub- normal consumption. American business, within a few years, can hit highs which even the most optimistic cannot contemplate. Television A Reality As an example of what I have in mind, take the recent announce- ment by Radio Corporation of American that television sets will go on the market in 1939. For two hours a week, the first regular television program will be broad- cast. Receiving sets will be put on the market, priced from $150 up. In Great Britain, television is already going strong. The British Broadcasting Company sends out programs for two hours every day. The rapid progress made by television since I was in England a year ago was one of the biggest surprises of my recent trip. I am using this news item sim- ply to illustrate the potentialities In new products and new indus- tries. All this will make jobs for people manufacturing television sets, and the like. Also, it means a bigger demand for raw materi- als of all kinds; an increase in the freight carried by railroads and trucks; an addition to retail sales; and a greater consumption of electric power. I again suggest alr-conditloning as ianother Illus- tration. Furthermore, these new industries need not throw any peo- ple out of work. Huge Potential Demands Take the effect of new indus- tries on the utilities for an exam- ple. Within five years the chemical and metal Industries will require 4,000,000,000, or 33 per cent, more kwh. of electricity annually than they are now using! This means more generating equpment for the utilities, more fine steels and met- als to make generating equipment, and more jobs to provide the fine steels and metals. At least $3,000,- 000,000 worth of construction worjc is accumulating in the power in- dustry. Were unemployment eliminated, we would find a shortage of a mil- lion homes. This means a poten- tial housing volume of $5,000,000,- 000. The railroad industry needs $1,000,000,000 worth of new rolling stock to run efficiently. Rebuilding factories and replacement of ma- chinery will take another $5,000,- 000,000. The potentialities of future business stagger the imagination. Furthermore, our banks have more money—and Interest rates are lower—than ever before to fi- nance this new expansion. End Selfishness The stage is all set for America to go. There is only one thing holding us back: Our own selfish- ness! We are fighting and bicker- ing among ourselves. Pressure groups ,are trying to loot the Treas- ury. Many government officials are calling business men names. Many business men are doing all they can do to discredit the gov- ernment. Labor is fighting with employers. Employers are balking at new labor regulations. I t is nat- ural that business should suffer and unemployment should in- crease under such unchristian con- ditions. But imagine what prosperity we could have if all interests would pull together! Then there could be whole-hearted cooperation under the new rules. Government would then take business Into its confi- dence and stop abusing it; while business would treat the govern- ment and the people fairly. Em- ployers and workers would unite to increase production which is the only road by which labor can raise its standard of living. In short, if a spiritual revival should sweep this nation nothing would prevent America from enjoying a new all-time high.
