Revolutionary
Program Helps
Clean House
A revolutionary program
to help Charlotte area donors
make a clean sweep of house
cleaning and help the city’s
handicapped at the same time
was announced today by John
Craig, Jr., Chairman of the
Board of Goodwill Industries
of Charlotte, Inc.
The new system for collec
tion of usable discards, called
an “Attended Collection Cen
ter," is the first of its kind in
Charlotte and Western North
Carolina. Attended collection
centers will eventually re
place all Goodwill deposit box
es, providing the new system
proves to be successful.
"We believe the new centers
will be a vast improvement
over the deposit box system,”
said Mr. Craig. “They will
provide a more efficient sys
tem of getting quality discards
to the handicapped workers at
Goodwill, and make it easier
for the donors to make dona
tions.”
An attractive 40-toot trailer
with the “Smilong G” of Good
will on the sides will be the
landmark of the new centers.
The centers will be manned by
workers of Goodwill. They will
be open seven days a week:
Monday through Saturday
from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. and
Sunday from l p.m. until 6
p.m.
The smiling attendants will
issue tax receipts for all dona
tions. Because Goodwill is a
non-profit, charitable organi
zation, the tax reciept may be
used to deduct the donation
from Federal Income Taxes.
Since all of the old blue and
yellow Goodwill deposit boxes
will be removed from areas
where the new Attended Col
lision Centers will be located,
Gfodwill asks that donors pa
trdnize the new center instead.
The first of these centers, at
Tryon Mall Shopping Center,
will begin operation October 4.
Mr. Frank Watson, III, of
North American Van Lines,
which is furnishing the first
trailer, will attend opening
ceremonies at 10 a.m. on
October 4th. Also attending
wiU be officials of Goodwill
Industires. The public is cor
dially invited.
Goodwill, a non-profit orga
nization and United Way A
gency, provides employment,
wages and training for physi
cally, mentally and socially
handicapped persons. Good
will relys on the sale of refur
bished, donated material from
the community for its opera
ting income.

Brain Monitor Helps Diagnose Epilepsy
. By Otto McClarrin
Three researchers in Cleve
land have developed a com
pact portable device which
they say is the first to permit
day-long brain monitoring
while a patient pursues nor
mal activities. The package,
which resembles a camera or
normal tape recorder, is a
sophisticated four-channel re
cording system which stores
information in a cassette for
play back later in a medical
laboratory.
Dr. John H. Ferguson, a
neurologist who is one of the
developers, says the ab
normality persent in patients
with temporary disturbances
may show up only a few
seconds a dav. A conventional
20-minute electroencephalo
gram (EEG) "May miss those
precious seconds" but the 24
hour monitor is more likely to
pick them up. Ferguson said.
Penny-sized electrodes on a
patient's scalp are concealed
by hair and attached to the
recorder by wire. The record
er can be carried like a
shoulder purse or attached to
a belt. The wires can be
covered by a jacket, sweaters,
or other clothing
Besides providing a means
for diagnosing epilepsy in pa
tients whose brain wave irreg
ularity doesn't show ud durine .
conventional EEGs, the moni
tor can provide a check on
dosage and effectiveness of
drugs. Dr. Ferguson said
He stated that it could help
determine whether psychia
tric behavior disorders have
some nerve-system or other
physical basis. It can enable
doctors to look into possible
relationship of fainting episo
des with abnormal brain wave
action, and it can be used in
connection with sleep disor
ders.
But Ferguson said the de
vice is too costly for general
use now, so its use is limited to
special problems He hopes to
find ways to reduce the cost so
its use can be more general.

Conventional cardiac pace
makers. which depend on bat
teries for their energy, some
day may be replaced by a
permanent model, powered by
the body's own energy.
Scientists at the University
of Missouri-Columbia and Mas
sachusetts General Hospital
say the new system, if perfec
ted, would eliminate the need
for repeated and often costly
surgery to replace the stand
ard artificial batteries.
The new device is expected

500. and would weigh about
half as much Allen Hahn, a
biomedical engineer at Mis
souri. says while the model
probably won't be ready for
human experimentation for
another five years, animal
tests have proven successful.
"I would say probably ano
ther set of long-term animal
experiments is needed before
human transplatation can be
considered,’’ Hahn said re
cently.
About 300.000 persons in the
world are being kept alive
today by artificial pacemak
ers attached to the walls of
their hearts, statistics show
The vast majority of those in
use require additional surgery
to replace the worn out bat
teries.
The new device, called a
Hybrid Bio Galvanic Cell,
would eliminate the need for
the second and sometimes
third operation for battery
replacement, Hahn stated
The principle behind the •
new pacemaker turns the bo
dy into a human battery Two
electrodes, one zinc and the
other platinum, create a che
mical reaction within the bo
dy
The platinum reacts with
the body's natural chemicals,
which in turn causes oxygen to
move from one electrode to
