Gardner said the department responded to the 5:20 a. m. alarm with two units, but one unit, a tanker, was turn ed back before arrival after it was found that there was no fire. The alarm indicated a fire in the recreation room of the center. "There were cigarette butts on the floor of the rec room, but we have no proof that anyone was in there smoking," Gardner said. An alarm at the nurs ing center, which is equipped with a sophis ticated fire detection system, automatically calls out the Warrenton department and puts the Norlina Volunteer Fire Department on standby, Gardner said.

In one case he was able to rebuild the pin head-size tips of a young woman's damaged and blocked Fallopian tubes. Microsurgery that might have lasted seven hours took only one, and the woman conceived a child six months later. The laser's ability to operate in the micro scopic realm comes to the fore in experimental genetic surgery, where a laser borehole in a red blood cell measures only half a micron wide. A human hair, by com parison, is about 80 microns wide. Rather than just react to health problems, lasers someday may be able to head them off. Richard Zare, a laser :hemist at Stanford University, has come up with a laser-induced Fluorescence, or LIF, an ultrasensitive method of detecting chemicals in gases and liquids. Says Zare, "I believe lasers will play a key role in future medical analysis to detect in sulin in human serum, for example. With LJF we could probe blood, sweat and tears — like checking a car's exhaust to learn its run ning condition — and determine a person's health in time to give htm a minor tuneup, before he needs a major Ebenezer Baptist Church in Rocky Mount.
