(Sunphoto by Steve Armfield) Music Au Go Go Match your Christmas gift giving to the rhythms of today’s go go generations . . . from grandparents to microboppers. Make this Christmas a moving one with cassettes and cassette player/ recorders for music on the go. These micromusic packages are just the right size to carry the music of your choice on a dreamy walk or hay ride, to tote along on a motorbike or take to the beach Cassettes, plastic cases about the size of a cigaret pack and half as thick, hold up to 120 minutes of sound, half on each side. And they offer stereo listening for all tastes, from classics to comedy, rock to pop. For teenagers, new micro cassettes hold four to six selec tions of the hottest popular music, play up to six minutes a side, and cost less than $2.00. You don’t have to handle tape with a cassette; there’s no record to scratch. Simply push the tiny case into a slot in the machine, press a button and there’s music. Versatile cassette tapes can be wound back and forth at high speed to find favorite selections, a feature that also makes it possible to record voice or music. Monaural, playback-only units like Ampex’s Micro 1, decks that plug into hi fi systems, and even full record ing stereo systems give bat tery-powered portability or de corator-styled convenience for the music minded. Prices be gin at less than $30. Since Ampex helped to bring quality sound into the home in the 040s with the first re corder for mastering high fidelity phonograph records, tape recorders have become more convenient to use, more compact and cheaper. Casset tes and cassette recorder/ players are the now answer for music on the move for today’s go go people.

This unit automatically checks the vaccine’s potency in the Parke-Davis laboratories. DETROIT — Parke, Davis & Company is operating a "crash program” to produce large quantities of vaccine to help protect the American people from an epidemic of Hong Kong influenza which medical authorities expect this winter. "We are on a ‘crash program’ because we could not begin producing the vaccine until in itial supplies of the Hong Kong virus arrived from the federal government,” according to Dr. Joseph F. Sadusk, Jr., vice president for scientific and medical affairs. “Then, of course, we have to produce the vaccine under sci entifically controlled produc tion and testing methods — all of which take time — but we are confident we can have a safe, potent vaccine ready by early December.” In meeting this emergency, the firm processes 64,000 large white fertile eggs daily in its race against time to get a vac cine to the public before the flu attacks. "Because the vaccine is grown in chick embroyos, we are one of Michigan’s largest «gg buyers,” Dr. Sadusk commented, "and we probably are the only buyer who demands huge numbers of fertile eggs of one certain size. “Our research has shown that we can produce the vaccine most efficiently from white eggs which weigh 23 ounces per dozen, and which are less than a week old.” When the nest clean eggs ar rive at the vaccine production facility, they are placed in an incubator for 11 days. From there, they are shifted to a darkened area for candling. Next, the eggs go to the ino culation room, where they are sprayed with an antiseptic solution, injected with the Hong Kong influenza virus and put into a second incubator for two days. After the eggs receive a sec ond antiseptic bath, the top section is re moved and the vaccine fluid harvested. De pending on how well the vi rus grows, up to two doses of unfinished vaccine are obtain ed from each egg. Finally, technical processes and a series of tests — some approximately two to three weeks in length to assure the vaccine’s purity, safety, ef ficacy, and acceptability to pa tients — are required before it can be bottled, packaged, lab eled, re-tested and air shipped to distribution branches throughout the country. Importance of Vaccine "Though influenza caused by the Hong Kong strain appears to be a mild disease, a protec tive vaccine is extremely im portant,” Dr. Sadusk added. “When a new strain of virus like this occurs — one against which existing vaccines cannot protect — it is possible that the virus can change as it passes from one person to an other and become much more serious, or produce compli cations in certain people. "The aged, very young, and people suffering chronic dis eases are the ones who likely will suffer most from this flu,” Dr. Sadusk added.
