The bullets, designed to be ei ther “shot” or implanted into can cerous tissue, are actually small metal cylinders cut from fine strands of high-purity chromium wire produced only at the bureau’s northwest electrodevelopmcrtt lab oratory here. They measure a tenth of an inch in length and are a thirtieth of an inch in diameter. The bullets are exposed to neu trons in a nuclear reactor and made radioactive so they emit gamma rays in the manner of ra dium. City Readers Favor Whodemrf Votumes New Bern must be crammed full of amateur detectives. Nothing at the Public Library is moving fast er than the mystery novels there. Youngsters and aduKs alike are clamoring for the who-done-its. First choice always are the books of that master of mayhem, Earl Stanley Gardner. He has turned out over 85 novels, and at least 30 are available at the local library, including the Perry Mason series. Add Peaches to Waffle Batter For New Dessert Waffles as a dessert? Not so strange as it may sound. Fresh peaches hold the key for making a waffle dessert, and may also be used in making waffles more tempting at breakfast-time. Southern peaches are plentiful now,- and it’s no trick, say U. S. Depart ment Of Agriculture nutritionists, to capitalize on their delightful flavor in creating novel desserts, breakfast treats, or out-of-the-or‘di- nary sandwiches. If you wish to inject the peach flavor into waffles for breakfast, simply add diced fresh peaches to your favorite sweet waffle batter. Bake the mixture in a waffle iron until crispy brown, and serve with peach marmalade or maple syrup and butter. To make a peach-waffle dessert prepare twice as much batter you need for brerakfast. Bake waf fles and i«ke those you wish to use as a dessert and wrap them in aluminum foil after letting them cool. Then plade the waffles in your honw freotet. At dinner time i-eheat the waffles in the oven or toastef.

Joe Anderson Drug Store ME 7-4201 There's One Kind of Baby Which Is Most Loved of All at Our Hospitals Everybody loves a baby, or should, but the most-loved babies in New Bern are the prematures who spend their first weeks and months on earth in an incubator at one of our local hospitals. They require constant attention, and before it’s over the entire maternity staff becomes attached to these tiny infants. Typical is the reaction of Cleo Moore and Dorothy Smith, at East Carolina Baptist Hospital. Both have seen a lot of “inkies” come and go during long years of nursing. Yet, each farewell is a tearful one for them, and always will be. Other nurses at Baptist, St. Luke’s and Good Shepherd are equally sentimental when their re sponsibility ends. Mdst of tne oaoes are real pre matures—born too' early for their own good. A few arrive on sched ule, but weigh so little that they land in an incubator just the same. All of the “inkies” remain hos pitalized until they reach a weight of 5 pounds, 4 ounces. Rarely will one of them nurse a bottle until he or she attains a weight of 3 pounds, 8 ounces. Prematures' don’t fret or cry, like normal babies. In fact, they sleep constantly. If a nurse waited for an “inky” to wake up and squawl for food, the little fellow would sleep himself into starva- gets fed, 24 hours a day. This with tender care and frequent medica tion puts the premature on the road to normalcy and a long and happy life. Once an “inky” catches up, he is just as healthy and ornery as any other brat. Until he does, one thing is for sure. He’s the best- tended and niost-Ioved kid in town. We need at gnee iever,jl 2 and 3-room homos In or near the city. Call ME 7-«175. LAWRENCE A CRAYTON tion.
