Partial Eclipse
A partial solar eclipse will be visible In
Piedmont, North Carolina at 4:35 p.m, EDT,
Wednesday, Oct. 12.
“People In this area should be able to get a
look at a partial eclipse If they've got the equip
ment," said Dr. Stephen Danford, assistant
professor of physics at UNC-G. “We’ll be In
the penumbra, the outer shadow area where the
sun Is partially obscured. If it's a nice, clear
dav. the sky will begin to look a little hazy and
the sun will darken a little bit, but not drasti
cally.
“There’ll be a few other partial eclipses In
this century that will be viable here,” Danford
added, “but eclipses will be pretty scarce until
the 21st century.

A quick, reliable method of testing for car
cinogens In water is being studied by a zoolo
gist at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Dr. Douglas Humm Is working with a ^eclal
strain of platyflsh that quickly develops a visi
ble malignant tumor when exposed to any cancer-
causing agent. When these fish come in contact
with a carcinogen, the dark spot on their dorsal
But does it have side
effects of its own?
Are you ready for a “synthetic cooking fat"?
Two researcher s working at Proctor and Gam
ble’s Miami Valley Laboratories in Ohio said
they have developed a synthetic cooking sub
stance they call “sucrose polyester" that has
the cooking properties of vegetable oil.
Doctors Fred Mattson and Charles Clueck
said the synthetic fat is being perfected to re
place natural oils which have high serum
cholesterol levels. Medical World News re
ported that 13 volunteers whoatefoodsprepared
with synthetic fats showed a 14 per cent drop

The advantage of the platyflsh method, Humm
said. Is that results can be obtained in about
three weeks. Many experiments to test for car
cinogens are done on mice or other lab animals
and results may take twice as long.
Humm's method of testing doesn’t tell what
the carcinogen is, he added, nor does It reveal
If the carcinogen is something in the fish’s
food or If It is something In the water. “The
test merely points to the presence of a car
cinogen,” he added.
When the technique is perfected, Humm hopes
to be able to have an answer within 24 hours
about the carcinogenicity of the tested material.

ing half-way irresponsible or they had a se -
cret unannounced meeting beforehand to decide
what to do about 1-40." Hugh Wilson was re
ferring to the five or ten minutes the board
spent last month in considering a route for
1-40 from Hillsborough to the Triangle Park.
They selected a route through Orange County
that is strongly opposed by Orange County re
sidents. Wilson said he’d seen a letter from a
trangiortatlon board member referring to a
Sept. 8 meeting (the DOT board meeting was
Sept. 9). “The letter could have been wrong
or there was a sneaky pete meeting in High
Point," Wilson added.
A CURIOUS kind of housecleaning reportedly
is underway at the Western Alcoholism Rehabil
itation Center In Black Mountain, N.C. First
Governor Hunt fired the center’s director,Her
bert F, Moore, a holdover from the Holshouser
Administration, and replaced him with a support
er from the governor’s “hiring list.” Now the
center’s new director is requiring all the psy
chiatrists, psychologists, and social workers to
shave off their beards and moustaches.
A "SCANDAL of major importance" could
erupt from an FBI investigation into organized
crime’s penetration of high levels of the U.S.
government, said U.S. News and World Report.
According to the magazine, under particular
FBI scrutiny for possible mafia influence are the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the Depart
ment of Housing and Urban Development and even
Congress itself. U.S. News quoted insiders as
saying the probe involves bribery, prostitution
and gambling.
HOSTESS CAKESwere selectea by the ITT
Boycott Committee of the Congregation for
Reconciliation in Dayton, Ohio, to “protest
ITT’s deep involvement in enabling South Africa
to keep the world’s cruel apartheid regime in
power. ITT’s $70 million investment in South
Africa makes it the most imporant American
corporation in that white-run country."
ONLY SIX Durham candidates have filed state
ments of interest in two Durham superior
court judgeships. Those submitting statements
include District Attorney Tony Brannon, B.
Frank Bullock, a black attorney; William Mc
Pherson, law partner of former 'Rep. Nick
Galifianakis; Malvern King, former law partner
of Ralph N. Strayhorn, the only Durham member
of the judicial nominating commission; and at
torney John C. Randall, formerly with the Gal
ifianakis firm. Due to the few applicants for
the judicial posts in Durham and elsewhere
across the state the Sept. 26 deadline for ap
plications was extended into October. In
Orange County where one judge will be named
candidates filing statements included attorneys
Barry Winston and Gordon Battle of Chapel Hill
and Lucius Cheshire of Hillsborough. State Sen.
Charles Vickery said Monday he hadn’t submitted
an application but “might do so.”
