Builders who have examined the bathtub in the United States be- lieve it has a marked advantage over other tubs for many applica- tions because of its light weight. Whereas metal tub, which weighs up to 380 pounds, requires careful handling by two or more men, the new one can be installed easily by one worker. Furthermore the fibre 'glass plastic has a much warmer feeling than enamel. : Laboratory tests proved the bath tub is not affected by normal heat and cold, that it is easily cleaned and is not harmed by acid or household abrasives, according to Carl A.

(CP)--Four times a year, the blood of men im prisoned in Dorchester penitentiary is tapped to help save lives on the outside. Since the end of the Second World War, volunteers be- hind the institution's walls have donated 1,500 bottles of blood to the Canadian Red Cross. To Mr. X, who cannot be iden- tified otherwise, went the distine- tion of giving the 1,500th donation since. 1945. He had been a donor several times previously at the penitentiary. Prisoners at Dorchester may con- tribute blood once every three months, when a Red Cross mobile clinic visits the prison, Mr. X does more than give his own blood for the benefit of a society from which he has been separated. He can- vasses his fellow prisoners so suc- cessfully that 177 men were on the waiting list the last time the clinic arrived. : CONTINUE DONATIONS C. H. Foss, in chargg of the clinic has found that many of the men who first donate blood while. in Dorchester continue doing so after their release, He recalled that Kurt Meyer, for- mer Nazi major - general, gave | "five or six" blood donations while |a prisoner here. One of these was his 20th, those before his imprison- ment have been for the benefit of German troops. Meyer, sentenced to life imprisonment for responsi- bility in the shooting of Canadian prisoners of war, was transferred to Germany in late 1951, Some of the Dorchester donors have made 20 contributions, earn- ing certificates signed by the gov- ernor-general in his capacity as national president of the Canadian Red Cross. By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE Associated. Press Science Reporter DENVER (AP) -- New keys to the growth of new life are being sought at the University of Color- ado medical school, Life, whether human, bird or animal, starts with the fertilized egg of the mother. This single cell becomes two, the two four, then eight. The newborn indant is billions upon billions of cells. Some become nerves, some muscle, some hair-- yet all start from one cell. Knowing what controls make these cells change or develop to do these special jobs could be hlp- ful in understanding congenital de- fects--due to interference with nor- mal controls--and in helping de- velopmefit of premature babies. The search for keys to these controls is being carried on in the laboratory of chentical embryology headed by Dr. Heinz Herrmann. His team is starting with muscle cells, how and whan they first appear in the embryo.
