WIDE SERVICES Outstanding example of the wider services as a result of the computer has been the use of real - time computer sys tems in air transportation. Computers such as the UNI VAC 490 Real - Time Series have enabled airlines to book and maintain control of mil lions of reservations and, : in addition, even reserve a steak for a passenger's meal aloft.

Con-' o.;sisting of. three giant UNIVAC 1108 computers, the United In formation system is being de signed to handle complete sys tem - wide information on its passenger and fleet operations through 1975. In addition to processing some 17 major cat- egories of information for the line, the UNIVAC system will use television - like cathode ray tube sets on a nationwide basis to display data. As a public servant, the computer's potential value is limited only by man's imagi nation.

Computers have become a vital tool in that many problems in medi cine and biology have been beyond the reach of most labo ratories because there was no way to process the vast amounts of data fast enough to make them useful in exper iments. By using a satellite UNIVAC 1004 computer con nected by telephone lines to the 1107 at Case Institute, medi cal researchers in the small est laboratories have access to the largest computer by means of ordinary telephone lines. ' LAW ENFORCEMENT In law enforcement, New York State Police have em braced a formidable new part ner, a streamlined communi cations network centered around a UNTVCA 418 mes sage switching computer. The computer cuts the delivery time of interstation messages from an average of 40 mm- utes to five minutes or less, The computerized network es- tablished a direct line of tele- type communications between 78 state police stations and 68 municioal police and sheriff offices ties into the network i Moreover, the computer stores registration numbers of stolen cars and license plates and will be able to tell a state trooper within five seconds whether or not a car is want ed. Should a trooper encounter a suspicious auto he simply radios in the registration num ber which is then fed into the computer. If the car isnt on the wanted list the computer responds, negatively. . But, if the car is wanted a bell sounds and a message is flashed to the inquiring officer.. Total elapsed time for this entire operation is less than 60 sec- onds. Computers have created a technology which is contribut ing billions to the nation's eco comic growth. In just two short decades, computing sys tems have become indispens- able to our modern society.

Under the provisions of this act, Wilson along with other major research libraries Rate OfVD Among Teem Is Alarming Americans are contracting venereal disease at an ex timated rate of 1,700,000 new cases a year, according to a report in the January Read er's Digest. Particularly alarming is the high incidence of VD among young people: 1500 new cases every day, the American Medical Association reports, more than half of them among teen-agers. The public's ignorance of VD's causes, symptoms and behavior is appalling. Experts say that as many as half of the nation's cases are now go ing untreated because so many Americans are unaware of the facts. Early symptoms of syphilis soon disappear and many vic tims are tempted to ignore them, the article notes. But if left untreated, the infection can break out again with tragic fury years later, attack ing the heart,, the eyes, the brain or the nervous system. It can also cause death. "So little recognized is sy philis that two thirds of all cases are in the dormant phase or have progressed to the late attack before they are found," say authors Patricia and Hon Deutsch. To combat this ignorance, school authorities, public health officials and parents are teaming up to provide VD education courses in schools. Los Angeles County, for ex ample, instituted a six - hour -high - school course on VD in 1963. f Results are ; encouraging Teen-age syphilis had dropped by 58 percent in Los Angeles County since the course be gan, while the national rate has shown an overall increase. Moreover, health officials found that two nearby cities that refused the course showed alarmingly high jumps in VD: Pasadena's VD rate went up 500 percent from 1964 to 1965; Long Beach leaped over 700 percent. In Houston, Texas, the en tire community was involved in a VD-education campaign. The local Jaycees made some 800 talks to business and civic groups about VD. Business firms helped place VD bill boards in the city. Church groups performed a play about VD at clubs, churches and school assemblies. P- u b 1 i c Health Service films on the subject were run on local TV. Newspapers carried feature stories describing the threat, the PTA disseminated infor mation about VD education courses back home to parents. School dropouts were reach ed too, via free record hops at local parks, with disc jockeys discussing VD between rec ords. Several chains of infec tion were uncovered as young sters appeared at the health department after every dance, the article reports. The U. S. Public Health Ser vice offers films and a new self-teaching text to classes wishing them. Says Dr. Wil liam Brown, chief of the USPHS Venereal Disease branch: "Once many thought that penicillin alone could stop across the U. S. cooperates with the Library of Congress in a program to acquire and catalog all library materials currently published through out the world which are of in terest to scholars. This means that Wilson Li brary will no longer have to type out six different catalog cards for eachcf the approxi mately 70,000 new books that are ordered each year, and it means that the ordered books will be put on the shelf to be circulated as soon as they ar rive at the library a time saving advantage to students as well to the library staff. How can this one act di rected primarily at the Li brary of Congress take so much complication out of the library system? It's simple. The Library of Congress auto matically receives a copy of each book that is published in the United States. The clause known as "Title II-C" of the Higher Education Act permits the Library of Congress to add to this collection all the impor tant books published in coun tries all over the world. Now the Library 0f Con gress has the laborious task of typing catalog cards for each of these books. Under the new cooperative agreement, however, the library also makes catalog card reproduc tions for each research li brary in the nation that has joined the program, whether the library has purchased the books or not. So Wilson Library and 83 other national libraries receive approximately 3,000 catalog cards per -week from the Li brary of Congress. These cards are filed in the li brary Acquisitions Depart ment. When one of these books is ordered, Wilson Library pulls its card from the file, makes six duplicates of it with the Zerox machine, and completes all the background registration processes on the book before it arrives. Under the old method, the duplicate cards had to" be typed separately on a multi form after the book arrived at the library, because there was no way to get the necessary information about the b o o k DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1.

So. in effect, the Library of Congress does much of the cataloging work for the librar ies who ioin this program, and it does it free of charge. The onlv inconvenience that faces a library when it joins the Library of Congress in this new Drocram is that it mnst switch from the popular Dew ey Decimal system of classifi cation to the one used by the Library of Congress. As of October 1. 1966. Wilson Li brary has made this switch and has been classifying all new books under the Library of Congress system. i EX1 IS HERETO B!Liii3 gj Mfe 4 Mil"! OBiunno.
