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.

Hong Kong Flu Vaccine "Crash Program”
Requires 64,000 Fertile Eggs Per Day
One of the first published pictures of the
Hong Kong influenza virus shows in this

by an eelectron microscope. The black bar

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.
