The location and inten sity of this radioactivity is recorded by a series of dots which provide a graphic and permanent presenta tion. Tumors and mal functioning organs make abnormal patterns which can be recognized and ana lyzed by trained specialists. There are no known pain ful after-effects or nega tive side-effects to the pro cess. The actual mapping done by the scanner lasts from 20 minutes for a thy roid mapping to one and one-half hours for a brain or liver mapping. Miss Leary said that she considered several areas, after deciding she wanted a career in hospital work, before deciding on the 24- month program that train ed her for her present po sition. Industry, government, public health and educa tional institutions also hope to attract trained radiologic technologists, but it is in the health field that most of them find their greatest satisfaction. Miss Leary worked in the emergency room for sev eral years, where co workers described her as one who “never gets flus tered.” “Some people just don’t show it,” she countered. “You can’t afford to let people see it especially patients.” G.

How many families have suffer ed hardship as a result of indulgence on the part of one member of that fam ily? How many homes have been broken, how many lives have been for feited? The church must take its stand in reforming the transgressions of the peo ple, for upon its shoulders rests a grave responsibil ity. For Christians need to be inspired to take a firm stand against anything which negates spiritual sensitivity. Those among us who are lost desperately need a clear-cut example of what Christianity means kept constantly before them.
