have started in the frame room
S-mday afternoon.
The cause of the blaze was
unknown.
Dakin Vice Presiden'. Tom
Harrison estimated damages at
a quarter of a million dollars.
Firemen from five fire de

scene shortly after noon.
The building was a two s'ory

RADIATION EXPERIMENTS NOW
POSSIBLE iN SCHOOL

It was two high school i
students who first discovered 1
the possibility of creating "skin I
banks" for burn victim*—and *
now their work has led to a
fuU-scale investigation by top I
scientists.
The breakthrough happened
because the students—like their 1
professional counterparts who 1
are studying radiation—had i
been fortunate enough to i
conduct practical experiments ;
and not just read about radia- 1
tion in science class.
Focal point of such ex
periments is the Gammator 50,
a machine which demonstrates
the effects of gamma rays (a
type of electromagnetic radia
tion of great penetrating
power) on cells, seeds, fruit
flies, laboratory animals or
ganic materials, plastics and
other substances. With total
safety, students using the
machine have begun to under
stand the importance of the
peaceful uses of radiation.
Gamma irradiation influ
ences to some degree almost
every living thing and most
materials. Each object reacts
differently to varying doses.
Too much radiation (in the
caae of living tissues and organ-1
isms) has a lethal effect. Just
the right amount can stimulate
the growth of seeds, inhibit
■eed growth so they wiH store
longer, pasturize foods, pre
mlt meats definitely, produce
genetic change and accomplish
many other important tasks
The Gammator has been

To Conduct Business Clinic
Thirty per cent of the
average business letter consists
of needless words. One of eve
ry twenty letters is written to
correct an error or omission
in previous correspondence.
Three letters out of four con
tain trite, "horse-and-buggv"
phrases that waste the reader's
time and kill his interest.
These are a few of the
findings of W. H. Butterfield,
one of the nation's leading
authorities on letter writing,
who will conduct a Business
Letter Clinic in Durham on
Thursday, March 20. Sponsor
ed by the Durham Chamber of
Commerce, the clinic will be
held from 7:00 to 10:30 p.m.

of the Radiation Machinery

New Jersey, makers of the

information, free for the

The Gammator 60 has re
ceived license approval by the
Atomic Energy Commission
for unrestricted laboratory
areas in high schools... the
only unit to be approved for
high schools in the world. Lead

source and tests are conducted
in a «™ll chamber rotated to
the rear of the unit. Moreover,
nothing irradiated with gamma
rays becomes radioactive itself.

the Gammator - 60 weighs
almost a ton and stands about
five feet high. Cost—which has
been often raised by civic
groups as well as the schools
themselves—is $3,876.
"Considerable work has been
done in the past on the damag

been held four and five times.
"How you say it is just as
important as what you say in
your business letters," says
Butterfield. "Sometimes the
reader is influenced even more
by the tone of a letter than
by its contents. A friendly,
human tone wins his co-opera
tion and good will. A blunt
tone irritates him. A mechani
cal tone bores him."
A list of trite expressions
to avoid in letter writing is
included among the fifteen
letter-improvement charts used
/ duripg the clinic. Other mater
ials cover negative words and
how to avoid them, short cuts
to concise writing, effective
selling psychology, how to
write clearly, how to give let
ters a friendly tone, correct
form and layout, how to de
cline a request and Mill hold
a reader's good will, and a
"check list" for successful let

for the Business Letter Clinic
includes the set of 15 letter
improvement charts.

night sky of unprecedented
realism.
The small disks of light
which represent the stars have
been reduced in size by about
1/3, and increased in bright
ness. The stars may be caused
to scintillate, or "twinkle,"
when this effect is desired.
The Model VI Instrument also
projects 17 different star clus
ters and nebulae and the Milky
Way.
The five planets visible with
out a telescope appear in the
planetarium's sky nearly as
they do in nature's - as points
of light indistinguishable from
stars except by their position
and motion.
However, a special feature of
the new instrument allows the
Planetarium narrator to "zoom
in" on the planets Jupiter and
Saturn, increasing their size by
nine times so that details like
the cloud bands of Jupiter and
the rings of Saturn become
clearly visible.
The Planetarium's sun and
moon also appear more realis
tic, and a special addition on
the Model VI allows the spon
taneous projection of anyone
of five different types of lunar
exlipse, eight different solar
eclipses, and two different
transits of Venus.
All of these features, along
with many others, will be de
monstrated and explained dur
ing the presentation of "The
Wonder From Zeiss." This
special program will only be
shown for ten days, however,
due to special scheduling de
mands imposed by the two and
a half month closure for instal
lation.
"The Wonder From Zeiss"
will be followed on March
29th by "Easter the Awaken

An estimated 100 million Americans will engage in some type
of home gardening activity in 1969, according to J. Earl Cook,
president, Men's Garden Clubs of America.
Cook, riding up on the organization's "mini" garden tractor
to officially open the new MGCA national headquarters in Des
Moines, lowa, said that the number of Americans engaged in
gardening has more than doubled in the past 10 years.
"Because garden tractors and other modern conveniences have
turned much of the hard work side of gardening into fun," the
head o( the 250-chapter coast-to-coast organization noted that
"home gardening has become the nation's most popular adult
hobby."
