The farm is an important laboratory fr.4 studies that form a part of the radiation safety program at the works, designed to prevent radioactive by-prod-O ucts from causing harm at the plant or in the neighborhood. The facility includes pens, pas tures nd cages where dozens of sheep, dogs and mice, as well as pigs, are kept. Sheep are used extensively because they are the predominant animal on the farms in the Hanford area. However. Bustad favors hogs for most of his latest tests. Data obtained from experiments on thern, he said, is more pertinent to man "embarrassingly so." typical experiment involves lapinf sample specimen of ra dioactive material to the skin Of pig or on a shaved spot on t?te side of a sheep. Frequent examinations are lrde using a "pig counter" or ' "sheep counter" to determine' 1 effects on the animal of the Jjposure both on the skin itself One) on his metabolism, eating Cfcn sleeping.

Adjacent to the animal farm Is an aquatic biology laboratory where continuing studies are marie on effects of the discharge of the Hanford Works' carefully regulated wastes into the nearby Columbia river, whose waters are used to rool the reactors.

Problem Solved For Paper Mills Rochester, N. Y. W The in genuity of a Rochester inventor has provided paper mill operat ors with the solution to an age old problem. John J. Cannan, a foreman in paper mill control laboratory at the Eastman Kodak Co., has come up with an idea by which samples can be snatched from a swiftly moving wab of paper on a paper-making machine with out breaking the web. The in vention works like a mouse trap snapping up a sample of paper on the run. Paper mill operators long have found it difficult to study the capacity of large drums which dry the wet, newly formed sheets as they move through the equipment. The chief problem has been how to get samples on the fly. Usual attempts to tear out a sample invariety tore the entire web and stopped the operation. Cannan's sampler is a spring powered mechanical device with razor-sharp jaws that snap and bite out about a two and one half inch oval of the moving paper. In less than four seconds the paper samples can be sealed in weighing bottles ready for laboratory work. This speed. oeer before possible, is highly itrportant to accuracy of the roni5iur check. Cannan received a $600 sug geion award from Eastman Kodak for the idea. 100 Acres Burned In Area Wesl of Vale Va " Fire destroyed more than 3 fin acres of grass, brush "d a few fences Monday aertiocn 10 miles west of here op Buliy Creek.
