Award-Winning
Flowers of
1960 Listed
Harrisburg, Pa. - (Science
Service) You can have a
rocket in your own backyard
this summer - it could even
be a Vanguard.
The rocket, which comes in
kx varieties, is an All-America
a w a r d-winning snap
dragon and the first bred for
summer blooming and heat
tolerance.
Two and three crops per
season can be obtained from
the same plants which bear
10 to 12 tall spire-like spikes
filled with blossoms. The
plants grow to three feet and
come in the following colors:
bronze, gold, orchid, red, rose
and white.
Vanguard, rose pink with
a "golden throat," is the first
double snapdragon to merit
an All-America award, said
. W. Ray Hastings, executive
secretary, of the All-America
Selections which sponsors an
nual open trial-grounds com
petition for the world's lead
ing introductions in vegetable
and flower seeds.
Other Awards
Other All-America award
wirners include an extra
large flowering annual salmon-colored
phlox named
Glamour.
A big orange marigold
called Toreador is also an
award winner. It is a carnation-flowered
type, with four
inch blooms on a bush that
may be as tall as three feet.
A second marigold - Spun
Gold - bears its three-inch
blooms on low bushes that are
said to be effective as borders
or pot plants.
The only vegetable award
winner for I960 is the Just
Right turnip. It is described
as having pure white, slight
ly flattened globe -shaped
roots with "vigorous e r e c t
leaves."

MORSE IN TUMBLE - Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.), shown
in his Washington office, began his "favorite son" candidacy
for the Democratic presidential nomination with his right
arm in a sling. He fell out of a hay mow of a barn he rents
in Poolesville, Md. No bones were broken, he said, but he
suffered a bad bone bruise and some torn ligaments.

New Approach to Hospital
Care Proves Impressive
Chicago - (Science Service)
- A new approach to hospital
care has proved to be more
efficient, less expensive, and
more beneficial to patients.
The new approach is called
the "progressive patient care"
plan. One of the first hospi
tals to adopt such a plan was
the 300-bed Manchester Me
morial hospital in Connecti
cut. The change-over to the
new plan began in April,
1957, Drs. Howard J. Lock
ward and Lane Giddings, and
Edward J. Thorns, of the hos
pital, reported in the Journal
of the American Medical as
sociation. Although hospitals have
mushroomed into this nation's
third largest industry, care of
patients need not be imper
sonal, they stressed.
Individual Treatment
"One of the main charges
leveled at modern medicine is
that we treat the disease in
stead of the patient," Dr.
Lockward said. However, this
new plan has made it possible
for each patient to be treated
individually according to his
medical needs, he explained.
The basis for this program
rests on the degree of the
individual's illness rather than
economic status or type of
disease.
There are four units under
the plan. They are: special
care unit for the seriously
ill; intermediate care unit for
those ill, but not seriously
so; self-service unit for those
able to take care of their own
bodily needs, and continua
tion care unit for those chron
ically ill.
Benefits Result
This type of separation re
sulted in a number of bene
fits, Dr. Lockward said. For
example, the alert recuperat
ing patient no longer had his
rest disturbed by an acutely
ill roommate.
Through the special care
unit, it was possible to admit
all emergency patients with
Tiny Radios Grow
In Popularity
New York -(UPD- Tiny tran
sistor radios with earpieces
are apparently growing in
popularity among those who
want to "get away- from it
all."
When the Japanese elec
tronics firm of Toshiba,
world's largest manufacturer
of transistors, asked its Amer
ican retailers to query some of
their customers on how they
use their tiny radios, the an
swers included:
For "tuning out" the boss
at dull sales meetings and the
wife during one of her mono
logues; for passing the time
while hunting and fishing; for
relieving the monotony of
long truck rides; and for lis
tening to jazz while attending
the opera. '
out delay, by-passing the ad
mitting office. As patients
improve, or their needs
change, they are moved from
unit to unit. These improve
ments in patient care had
been achieved "at no greater
cost to the patient," Dr. Lock
ward said.
The total patient cost per
day is 20 per cent less than
the average for 17 other hos
pitals of comparable size, he
reported.
Japanese Inventor Gets First 1960
Patent for Photographer's Jacket
Washington-(Science Serv
ice) - The first U. S. patent
granted in the new year was
awarded to a Japanese for a
photographer's jacket incor
porating a built-in light-proof
bag. '
The jacket is intended to
enable its wearer to change
film, or perform other opera
tions requiring light-free sur
roundings, without having to
enter a darkroom.
The dark bag is located
within the lining of the zipper-front
jacket and is reach
ed through two bag sleeves,
which are also light-proof.
Among the 880 other inven
tions issued patents by the
U. S. Patent Office here dur
ing the first week of 1960 are
a portable escalator, an im
proved method of treating pa
tients with vitamin B-12, and
an automobile window ven
tilator. Portable Escalator
The portable escalator made
by Chris Kakoska of Mari
copa county, Ariz., is for mov
ing invalids from one seated
position to another, such as
from a car seat to a wheel
chair. The escalator comprises
a tough metal base on which
a flat seat may be moved
back and forth with the aid
of rollers.
A difficulty in vitamin B-12
therapy is keeping the vitamin
in the blood for extended pe
riods of time. When injected
into the blood stream, the vi
tamin rapidly reaches such a
high blood concentration that
it is eliminated in the urine
within about 24 hours.
Robert E. Thompson of Mo
mence, 111., has discover;! a
vitamin B-12 preparation that
can be retained in the blood
for up to two weeks without
reaching the degree of concen
tration, that would cause it to
be excreted in a patient's
urine..
Includes Vitamin B-12
His preparation comprises a
vitamin B-12 active substance
in combination with zinc and
tannic acid. Patent rights
were assigned to Armour and
Company, Chicago.
A resilient ventilator strip
that may be placed between
the top of a car's side win
dow and the window frame
was patented by John P.
Mathews of Youngstown;
Ohio. The strip is provided
with small holes so that, when
the car window is tightly
closed up against it, fresh air
may still enter the car's in
terior. Two golf clubs were also
patented this week. Both fea
ture built-in bubble levels. In
one, a putter, the level is in
the shaft right below the han
dle grip. Intended to aid the
golfer in determining accu
rately the pitch of the putting
green, it was invented by
George H. Darrell of Dedham
and Charles E. Channing of
Dover, Mass.
The other club, also a put
ter, has a level situated in its
head for indicating to the
golfer whether the club is be
ing held in a level' position.
Its head is also marked with
a directional arrow pointing
towards the center of the ball.
The club was invented by
Harry L. Skelly of Reno, Nev.
Tie-On Ice Bag
A tie-on ice bag or hot wa
ter bag, big enough to hold
about three ice cubes, was in
vented by Leona E. Prietzsch
of Venetia, Pa. Made of a non
sweating material to prevent
moisture from forming around
the point of contact, the bag
has strings or straps that may
be used to tie it in place wher
ever it is applied.
Patents of particular ap
peal to do-it-yourselfers are a
nail-s t a p 1 e combination, a
combination step and exten
sion ladder and a hollow ma
sonry drill. . ' '
The chief object of the nail
staple combination is to hold
the staple in driving position
and to guide it while being

Two Accidents Are Reported to Police
Icy highway conditions
were blamed indirectly for a
one-vehicle accident at the
Birdseye creek bridge near
Rogue River Tuesday, state
police said.

supporting step ladder or
stretched out to become a
straight extension ladder.
New Masonry Drill .
The masonry drill has a
hollow tubular body with a
thread on its outer surface
and cutting teeth on its drill
ing end. It can cut rapidly by
causing the cuttings to be
raised from the hole away
from the cutting teeth.
Other interesting patents
included a phonograph record
jacket with four sealed edges
for protection against dust
and moisture, an illuminated
driveway curbing, and a
method for stabilizing sub-1
mersible drilling barges on'
sandy ocean bottoms.
injuries, state police said.
A truck and double trailer
and car collided near Neil
creek south of Ashland Tues
