Stands As Living Memorial
To Man Who Wrote Trees'
Far back in the Great Smok
ies is an aboriginal stand of
timber which never will feel
the woodsman's axe. Contrary to
usual U. S. Forest Service prac
tice (to manage, harvest, and
replant forest lands), the Joyce
Kilmer Memorial Forest, a unit
of Nantahala National Forest,
will remain inviolate as a tri
bute to the man who wrote per
haps the most moving and wide

to trees.

Intoximeter
Show Whether Driver Is
'Under Influence' i
The Intoximeter, newest scien
tific device to determine the
level of blood alcohol by
mekns of a chemical test, was
demonstrated in Raleigh recent
ly by Dr. Glenn C. Forrester, of
Niagara Falls, N Y, who in
troduced this chemical test as
an aid in law enforcement to
curb the menace of the drink
ing driver.
The intoximeter, which is
now in use by the state police
in Michigan and belaware, and
by local police in Lansing, Mich
igan, and Oak Ridge, Tenn., en- I
ables the officer to obtain an
on-the-spot approximation ol
the level of blood alcohol. The
breath . of the apprehended
driver, which is exhaled into a
rubber balloon, passes through
a mass of glass particles mois
tened with a red oxidizing solu
tion. If alcohol is present, the
color is destroyed and the num
ber of seconds needed to do this
indicates the percentage of al
cohol in the blood. Thus the
officer making the apprehen
sion knows whether the driver
was actually under the influence
of alcohol.
According to Dr. Forrester, the
instrument Would prove helpful
in determining whether a driver
suspected of drunken driving
were actually under the influ
ence, or suffering from a heart
attack, or diabetes, or other dis
ease, which might effect his
driving.
The intoximeter is essentially
a simple instrument and the
cost of a single test is about
$2.50. The device consists of
three tubes. One tube gives the
officer an on-the-sopt declara
tion of blood content. Another
tube, which is sealed and sent
to the state chemist or toxi
cologist, contains an actual
sample of "breath" which the
alcohol content; and the third
tube shows the amount of
breath and moisture in the
sample.
