LIFEGUARD DESIGN Lifeguard Design is the first compre hensive contribution to driver and pas senger safety in case of accident.

This research showed that over naif of the serious car-accident in juries came from occupants being thrown against the steering post, against hard interior surfaces, or thrown out of the car.

S. C. Fang and Joseph Butts re port that 2,4-D slows the trans portation of sulfates and phos phates within plants. These two chemicals are essential ingred ients for plant life. The exact pattern of the slow down hasn't been discovered as yet. But it has been shown that the effect is a strangulation of the plant's ability to convert and proteins necessary for plant life. The two men also studied other physical and chemical plant fun ctions to find if they are affect ed by the 2,4-D. They found that photosynathesis the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into starch was affected, but the up take of nutrients from the soil was left undisturbed. DISTRICT COMMANDER .

Some hints as to the form the sugars and other "raw" mater ials into higher forms of energy strangulation pattern may take is revealed in research being car ried on by a group headed by LeMar F. Remmert, 'another OSC agricultural chemist. This group has been studying the effects of 2,4-D on the complex chemical reactions that take place inside individual plant sells. So far, they have found that at least one of the soluble enzymes (proteins that help chemical changes take place within the cell) is prevented from doing its normal job by the 2,4-D. The job now facing the scientists is to find out exactly which enzyme or enzymes are affected so meth ods can be worked out to control the strangulation effect more precisely and efficiently. o , Mrs. W.
