the present rate of testing is not
known with certainty, but that a
number of geneticists have esti
mated about 100 a year for the
United States and between 500 and
1,000 a year on a worldwide basis
with a possible margin of "un
certainty" of either 10 times less

Legislation Asked
To Help End Night
Train-Car wrecks
WASHINGTON Of - Rep. Ford
(R-Mlch) Monday called for early
action on legislation aimed at pre
venting motorists from ramming
into the sides of trains at night.
He asked for hearings on his bill
which would require railroad to
place reflectors on the side of rail
road cars. "'.
Such reflectors, he said, should
reduce the number of accidents in
which motorists run into the sides
of trains at unguarded crossings.
His proposal would direct the
Interstate Commerce Commission
to establish rules requiring rail
roads to display reflectors.

shopping
.r
Every year our brewmaster, Dr. Max Zimmermann,
goes shopping for over a million bushels of select .
quality ingredients to brew the light, refreshing beer.'
And, we might add that price is no object,
for only the choice, golden barley and
sun-ripened hops arc 'selected. '
Fortunately, Dr. Zimmermann hasn't far to go.
Even though he could go elsewhere, the finest
malting barley in the world is grown in the fertile
soils of the rich Pacific Northwest. Dr. Zimmcrnunn
just visits some good friends and neighbors
who know that he personally inspects and selects
from the premium quality crop far in advance
of the market offering.
After his shopping is over, he comes home to
combine these select ingredients with the purest
. J - .L
water in the world and brews for you the light,
refreshing beer... Blitz Weinhapd.
Now, Dr. Zimmermann goes to all this trouble
because quality is our master at Blitz Weinhard...
and quality begins with the select, ingredients used.
And that's why we're asking you to discover for
yourself...
