Brazilian automobile pro duction climbed to 61,082 ve hicles during 1958, twice as many as were made in 1957. Champaign, 111. (OPD Wil liam H. Fry, head of the Un iversity of Illinois Biophysic al laboratory recently said that he, his brother and an other associate have been de veloping an artificial heart which may ultimately be cap able of long-term use inside the body of animals or hu mans. Artificial hearts, or blood pumps, now are used in some forms of heart surgery to al low the blood to by-pass the heart. They are used only out side the body, however, and are useful for only short per iods of time, Fry said. Fry, 41, said he and his brother, Francis J. Fry, 39, a professor in the biophysical laboratory, ahd Reginald Eg gleton, also an Illinois faculty member, have been working with the assistance of others on the project. Patent Obtained Fry said he and Francis had obtained a patent on the device through the intersci ence research corporation, of Champaign, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to medical research. His work began about five years ago, he said. "Our idea," Fry told United Press International, "is to de velop a device that could make possible the complete replacement of the heart in animals, and ultimately in humans." Battery-Powered Present plans, he said, call for it to be battery-powered. School News Howard School The Howard school had a Christmas program Dec. 23. It was put on by the first, second and third grades. The first grade started the program with . O Christmas Tree,". "Jingle Bells," and Away in a Mmger." The second grade Rhythm band played "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers." They sang "Rudolph the Red Nosed Rein deer," and "Up on the House Top."-Three girls read "Night Before Christmas." The third grade played on the Melody bells "Jingle Bells," "Merry' Christmas Bells," and the "First Noel." They sang "O Come All Ye Faithful," "Christmas Lulla by" and "Silent Night." Mrs. Huldah Fisher was chairman of the program and her helpers were Miss Mary Klocker, Mrs. Dorothy Arney, Mrs. Margaret Mann, Mrs. Aina McDaniel, Mrs. Audrey Berry and Mrs. Evelyn Win ningham. Mrs. Nita Birdseye was in charge of the program schedule. Vera Harper, a new student, is from Sacramento. The fourth grade students made pictures of a wiseman on his camel and a Madonna and child. After we colored them we oiled them and used them to decorate our room. We put the Madonnas on the windows and the wisemen on the bulletin board. We decorated our tree with things we made. We elected new class offi cers, rney are Danny Mad den, president; Darrell Car penter, vice president; and Kay Breeden, secretary. Some of the fourth grade sang in the third grade chorus in the Christmas program. Glen Westwood was elected president of Mrs. Flossie Mur ray's fourth grade for Decem ber. Each month we elect a new president. He chooses new helpers on the first and fifteenth of the month. All of the rooms attended the dress rehearsal Monday morning. We enjoyed the music and the scenes. Some of us were not able to attend the evening performance. We had a room party Wed nesday after lunch. We drew names and exchanged gifts. We decorated our room for Christmas. We have made mobile Santas which are hang ing in our room. We made Madonna "stain glass" pic tures for the windows. We made shepherd and sheep diaramas for the window ledge. The principal decor ations on our tree were boxes and balls made of colored paper. Raymond ' Wong taught us how to make them. He learned how to make them when he lived in China. In geography we visited the jungle, then the grass land and now are spending some time in Egypt. It is especially interesting to study at this time of year, knowing that Christ spent part of his life there. ADENAUER RECOVERING Bonn, Germany -UPD- West German Chancellor Konraq Adenauer is recovering quick ly from a bad head cold which put him in bed last Thursday and probably will be back at work Tuesday, his doctors re ported. He said the heart had been tested on laboratory animals, primarily dogs, outside the body, but Fry plans shortly to insert one of the hearts in the chest cavity of a dog for experimental purposes. The heart, Fry said, is roughly the size of a man's two ' clasped hands and weighs about three pounds without the motor element. Fry said it is a little larger and a little more flat than the normal human heart. : Major Problems Major problems in the de velopment of an artificial heart, he said, were construc tion of one which would be of long life; which would be compact and light in weight; and which would handle the blood in such a way that the elements of the blood were not disturbed by the device. The device that he and his associates now are testing, Fry said, appears to satisfy these requirements. "Ultimately," he said," we hope to have an artificial heart-a pump as it were which could be put into a human body and used by a person engaged in perfectly normal activity not merely an invalid." Batteries Fastened The battery power, he said, could be provided through plastic coated wires which would terminate outside the body, possibly in a leg, where Christmas Tree Causes Fire in City A Christmas tree caused a fire Sunday at the Owen Bris lin residence, 348 O'Gara st., firemen reported Monday. The Christmas tree appar ently toppled over and struck a clothes rack which fell onto an open gas heater, firemen explained. The rack ignited and set fire to a chair and small sections of flooring and wall.' The chair was destroyed and smoke damage occurred throughout the house. the battery could be fastened. It is not necessary, he said, for the wires to the battery to pass through the chest wall. In its experimental use to now on laboratory dogs, Fry said, he has "not seen very much disturbance at all" in blood elements. Most artifi cial hearts now in use for a limited period of hours, he said, show disturbance in blood elements quickly. Works Like Pump In the device on which he ! has obtained a patent, he said, any parts which are in contact with the blood are plastic, and there are no mov ing, metal parts in contact with the blood. He said the device has two chambers, and works like a pump. The one which has been in use in the laboratory, Fry said, was too large for inser tion into a dog's chest cavity, but "shortly" would be re fined to the point where such an insertion could be made. The laboratory's goal, he said, is the making of an arti ficial heart for internal use. "We believe," he said, "it is feasible on the basis of what we have done so far." rvi L.-- your - w your guests family GROCETERIA SUPER-FOOD MARKETS 6th & Grape Streets Medford KORNER FARM MARKETS ONLY AA EGGS These Are the Reasons Picked up 4 times daily cooled, washed, sanitized, candled, graded.
