MAIL TRIIUNE, Modford, Or. 1 Thurfdiy, April 14, If 60 Gold-Plated Bricks Just Around Corner Newark, N.J. (Science Service) Gold-plated metals, plastics, and glazed bricks and tiles may soon become a com mon sight in all walks of life. Gold-plated lead bricks have, of course, been available through the "confidence In dustry" for many years. Hanovia Liquid Gold here has developed four new gold - bearing organic com pounds which decompose at lower temperatures than those previously available. These are gold tertiary butyl, ter tiary dodecyl, tertiary octyl, and tertiary bexadecyl met captides, and are already in dustrially available in various formulations. The solution is applied to the prepared surface and the object is then heated in an oven, or under infrared lamps, to decompose the organic mat ter. The required tempera tures range from about 450 degrees Fahrenheit in the case of plastics, to as high as 1,500 degrees from some enamels on stainless steel. There remains on cooling a thin film of gold, perhaps only a millionth of an Inch In thickness. The cost of the pro cess giving a film of this thickness Is about 10 cents a square foot. Not only will this process be used for decorative pur poses, but, due to the excel lent heat-reflecting proper ties of gold, it will also be used in protecting some metal components of missiles and high Bpeed jet planes.

Burney, surgeon general of the U.S. Public Health Service, has reported. "Every year, for the past four years, there has been a surplus of vaccine in the spring and winter followed by a shortage in the summer when the occurence of polio cases reminds people they should get vaccinated," Dr. Burney said. Mutt Understand Facts He suggested that the prob lem can be solved only when the public understands the fol lowing facts: 1. The vaccine is most ef fective if used before polio becomes pervalent; the soon er you get vaccinated the greater will be your protec tion against polio this season. 2. The vaccine manufactur ing process takes about four months; if demand for vac cine is low now, supplies are likely to be low in the sum mer, since the present supply may be outdated by then. 3. It is the third shot, due seven or more months after the first two that gives the greatest protection. A fourth shot a year after the third adds even greater protection. Prim Victims Most polio epidemics now start in neighborhoods where there are concentrations of unvaccinated people. Infants and children under five years of age are prime victims in such areas. They have ac counted for almost half of the paralytic cases that have oc- Chromatography To Detect Arson Cleveland - (Science Serv ice) - Gas chromatography now can be used to identify materials suspected of having been used by arsonists to start fires. W. J. Cadman of the Orange County sheriff's of fice, Santa Ana Calif., and Theron Johns of Beckman In struments, Pasadena, Calif., told the American Chemical society meeting here that ma terials used to accelerate a fire may sometimes be iden tified after separation by dis tillation, extraction or other methods. However, these "accelera tors" are often so altered by the loss of their more volatile constituents, the addition of outside impurities, or chemi cal change in the heat of the fire that these methods are no longer effective, i Gas c h r o m atography, a method of separating gases according to their different rates of flow through narrow tubes, now provides a valu able new weapon in the fight against arson. 101ST BIRTHDAY Asheville, N. C. - (UPD - Dr. Marion C. Millender, oldest living alumnus of the Uni versity of North Carolina, Wednesday celebrated his 101st birthday. As long as the blood vessels hold up, he told relatives, "a man should go on living unless he gets killed by an automobile." curred in the past two years. "About 5 million children in this age group have not had any polio vaccine and another 5 million have had only one or two injections. Thus about half of the na tion's youngest and most vul nerable children still lack op timum protection against a disease that may cripple them for life," Dr. Burney warned.

Tiredness May Mean Physical Illness Ottawa, Canada, (Science Service) - If a patient's main complaint is tiredness, he is probably physically ill, rather than Just worn out. Dr. Geoffrey Ffrench of Oakville, Ontario, Canada, studied 1,200 patients, 109 of whom listed tiredness as the first or second most Import ant reason for reporting to the doctor. Physical examinations revealed that 25 per cent of the tired patients were anx ious or tense, but had no ac tual physical illness. The other 75 per cent had diseases and dysfunctions Display of British Goods Set for NY New York-flJPD - The most comprehensive display of British goods ever seen out side Britain will be exhibited at New York coliseum June 10-26. The Importance to Britain of the exhibition is under scored by the willingness of Queen Elizabeth II and Presi dent Eisenhower to serve as its official patrons. Britain already Is the largest exporter to the U.S., selling more than $1 billion in 1959. But the British are determined to raise this total and increase the number of items they sell to Americans. ranging from alcoholic gast ritis to leukemia and pneu monia. A person with thyroid deficiency was most likely to report tiredness, and anemia patients came second. Heart disease, lung cancer and Infec tious mononucleosis also fre quently resulted in com plaints of fatigue. Df. Ffrench also noted that in cases of endocrine dysfunc tion, such as diabetes melll tus, the patient could be tired when the gland was function ing too little or too much. Details of the research are reported In the current Journ al of the Canadian Medical association. Aluminum Fences Urged for Roads Davenport, la. - State gov ernments as well as his own industry would benefit, says Frank R. Nichols, if aluminum chain-link fences were install ed along the U.S. superhigh way system now being built. Nichols, who is president of the Nichols Wire and Alumi num Co. here pointed out that while the federal government is paying 90 per cent of all construction costs, the states will have to pay 100 per cent of the maintenance bills. Aluminum fences would re duce these bills, Nichols said, because they would not rust and would need no painting.
