Heart Is Made
For Dogs Use,
May Aid Man

liRBANA, III, Dec. rs tAP)
Two scientist brothers have
produced a mechanical heart
which may add years Of use
full life 10 humans whose hearts
wear out or break down.
The prototype has been
tested for short periods on
dogs. It has not yet been used
on humans.
A patent on the device has
been issued to William J. Fry
director of the biochemistry
laoora tory at the University OF
Illinois. and his brother, Fran
els. a research professor at the
laboratory.
we believe that mechan-
ical heart capable of handling
human needs for normal living
for up to 80 years will be de-
veloped," William Fry sale
today.
The device which has beer
used only for short preliminary
tests on dogs is small, two
chamber pump driven by a tiny
electric motor.
Motor and pump, encased in
smooth plastic cover, is only
slightly larger than a normal
heart. The device is powered
by batteries which may be car
ried by the wearer.
Would Need Larger Motor
"A good deal of development
remains to be DONE" William
Fry told an interviewer. 1--WE
have used a small, high-speec
motor in the dog tests. An ar.
tificial heart for humans woulc
require a larger motor fol
longer wear.
There must be an auto
matte regulator to provide
varying pumpage for relaxation
and full body activity. The
pump and motor would bt
easily serviced during a few
days in a hospital at intervals
of several years"
Thus far, Fry said, animals
have been sustained only fo'
periods long enough to checE
body functions upon recovery
from anesthetics following The
installation operation.
He said surgical techniques
adequate for installation of the
mechanical heart have beer
developed. 1t is primarily {
matter Of grating and con.
necing veins and arteries.
Once installed. the heart is
sealed within the chest cavity
and the opening is healed. Only
the wires for connection tt
small batteries protrude from
the body.
Spare Batteries Available
Batteries may be strapped tc
the leg. The patient would have
a kit containing spare plug-ir
batteries for use while alternate
batteries were being recharged
Also possible is a plug-in core
for home wall socket with a
current reduction device fol
connection to the heart.
The brothers obtained the
patent for Interscience Re-
search Corp. of Champaign
IL, a non-profit research firm
of which William is president
and Francis vice president. The
corporation is not connected
with the university.
William Fry said that devel-
opmert funds are the big need
of the firm at present.
He is also the developer oi
a successful Supersonic wave
device for use in brain surgery
which is used to break dowr
tissue which cannot be reached
with a scapel.

The Tree Farm program of growing trees as crop

"Trees and wildife live together nearly half billion

Carhart said wel-planned management of timberands
two things of prime interest to sporsmen First in
most instances assures high levels of production of both
wood and wlde Second it is the best prospect of
tanned yields in both resources.
Carhart emphasized the Importance of keeping wdlife
populations in balance with the ability of tmberands to
feed them He cited several instances of major deer deos
brought on by overpopulated herds

COMPETITION FROM
UNCLE SAM BLOW
TO BANKS" STORES
Navy Commissary's Operations at
Cape Hatteras May Bank
rupf Merchants

A new trouble rose up to give
concern to the merchants of Hat
teras Island when the Navy estab-
lished a commissary at Buxton
last year, to serve its personnel
attached to the Naval facility at
Cape Hatteras. The commissary
sold groceries and supplies also to
all the retired Coast Guards and
other servicemen living on the is
land and this represents almost
the bulk of the year round trade.
Since the Navy commissary, hav-
ing no taxes to pay, and no help
to hire, was selling way below the
usual stores, trade dropped to a
new low level and has been a
source of great concern to some
firms which may have to close
their doors.
An appeal of some 25 merchants
and truckers sent to Congressman
Bonner brought the information
that nothing can be done about it,
if the Navy won't close it, for it is
law that all retired military per-
sonnet are entitled to commissary
privileges.
The high cost of getting goods
to Hatteras before now has always
been handicap to the merchants
of the Outer Banks. Since boat
transportation went out, which
was naturally cheaper, nearly all
commodities, save oil, come in by
truck from Manteo, Elizabeth
City and Norfolk, to name the
principal sources of supply.
Rear Admiral J. w. Boundy,
Chief of the Bureau of Supplies
and Accounts, informed Mr.. Bon
ner that the Buxton commissary
will continue operation on it's cur
rent basis. ...
Boundy said that to deny COM
missary privileges to retired per-
sonnet just because they happen to
live on Hatteras would be "dis-
criminatory."
He pointed out that commissary
stores have "long and continued
congressional sanction" and that
Congress has already controlled
their impact on the civilian i'm
pact through rigid restrictions on
the scope of resales operations and
the extent of authorized patron
age"
After receiving Admiral Boun-
dy's letter, Congressman Bonner
reluctantly informed the Hatteras
merchants that he was helpless to
do anything about their problem.

and delegations we just could not
get our work done effectively.
For this reason we attempted
to institute a procedure by which
the appearance of individuals and
groups before the Board, and the
presentation of new business,
would be limited to the afternoon
sessions which are scheduled to
begin at 1 pm, and the mornings
would be set aside for the regular
routine. Anyone interested is per-
fectly welcome to, sit in on the
morning sessions and find out
what we are doing, but if a per-
son has business with the Board
he should wait until the afternoon,
and if possible should make ar
rangements with the Clerk to the
Board for an appointment at a
specific time.
l know this is the only way we
can do our job in the manner the
people expect us to do it, and /
don't think our request is unrea-
sonable. But we've failed to get
the idea across someplace, because
meeting after meeting people wan
der in just when we're in the midst
of trying to digest complicated
financial reports, for example, and
demand to be heard. The result is
that we've been ending up at 5
o'clock in the afternoon with a lot
Of the routine not properly attend
ed to. Last month we had to come
back after dinner, and worked un-
til 1890 at night. This month
we've had to call special meet
ing to get things finished. And all
Of it results from our inability to
conduct our meetings with dis
patch and get the routine cleared
up before starting in on new bust
ness.

stated, that having one community

The Board of Education has rul-
ed it must continue with the sales,
and before confirmation, the action
requested may be considered. The
Stumpy Point property has not
had a bid larger than $500. Sales
of the school properties must be

This schools most urgent need

The funds to provide this addition

lacks accreditation due principally
to the percentage of teachers hold

Such a teacher would provide in

supplement pay for principals be

is proposed that when local senti-
ment favors, and will put up a
sum, that public moneys
can be used to aid such projects
as are already in use, provided
they are in public ownership.
The Board feels very strongly
that the need for these improve
ments is closely connected with the
principal source of income in some
communities. Most of the instances
concern communities where there
are no Federal waterways projects
available. The projects are too
small to warrant the attention of
the Government, yet are vital
from the community standpoint.

Back to the subject of changes,
som county employees have
seemed reluctant to go along with
what our new Board is trying to
do, while others have been very
cooperative. Some of the more
important changes, and some in
volving the most work, have been
concerned with the county account
ing methods, and I would be re-
miss if l did not publicly ack-
nowledge the fine spirit of cooper
alton on the part of the County
Accountant, c. S. Meekins.
Each month, when our meetings
are called to order, we are provid-
ed with detailed budget recon-
ciliation showing exactly how
much each item is overspent or
underspent. This has enabled us
and possibly for the first time in
the history of the county to know
Just what the financial condition
is at any time, and to call for
curbs where spending has been too
heavy.
