THE EXCHANGE STORE “Serving Texas Aggies” today’s teratological research. Teratology is a branch of sci ence dealing with diet and the effects of diet on the birth of nor mal or abnormal offspring in mammals. Dr. Josef Warkany, professor of research pediatrics of the Univer sity of Cincinnati’s College of Medicine and winner of both the Mead Johnson Award of the Acad emy of Pediatrics and the Borden Award in Pediatrics, declared in a review of nutrition research, that the work of Fred Hale of A&M, done in the 1930’s, provided the impetus needed for promoting the study of diet factors affecting nor mal development of mammalian embryos. Notes Hale’s Work Warkany, writing of the effects of diets where essential vitamins are missing or- in short supply, traced a number of malformations in animal hnd human offspring to improper diet of the mother, and noted that at the time Hal’s work was being done at A&M most sci entific research in the field was aimed at finding hereditary fac tors that were thought then to be the only cause of malformations at birth. Hale’s early work related to blindness that resulted from a lack of Vitamin A in rations that were deliberately made deficient in this vitamin and then fed to swine. Until his experiments, Warkany pointed out that such blindness and malformation of eyes of young pigs was most generally believed to be an inherited condition or one that stemmed from hereditary fac tors. Showed Vitamin’s Worth “Prior to that time,” Warkany stated, “a number of observations had been made which suggested that blindness, weakness and de formity of newborn animus are sometimes due to poor nourish ment of the mother. But it was not until Hale’s experiment, begun in 1933, that maternal dietary de ficiencies, under certain experimen tal conditions, conclusively were shown to interfere with mammal- Five Vought Divisions Provide Engineers Greater Opportunity for Space-Age Advancement Young engineers, particularly, will be interested in the broad range of opportunities present in Chance Vought’s five divisions and two wholly owned subsidiaries. For every Vought engineer, there is a division to make fullest use of his talents and to speed his personal advance ment. And, of course, he is backed by the four other divi sions whose balanced activities add security to his company and his future. Vought’s diversification, begun early in 1959, gears this 43-year-old aircraft firm for the opportunities of the age of space. = ELECTRONICS AERONAUTICS DIVISION New generations of manned aircraft and atmos pheric missiles, devices for antisubmarine war fare, and many other types of weapons will take shape here. Among this division’s current contracts: a Navy order for development of an environmen tal protection and escape capsule for aircraft pilots. Other work includes production con tracts for three versions of F8U Crusader aircraft, study contracts in submarine detection and classification, and contracts for military and commercial aircraft assembhes. ASTRONAUTICS DIVISION Vought is drawing on 13 years’ experience in the missile field to obtain broader responsibili ties in the race for space. Concentration is on advanced vehicles for space exploration, and on ballistic and anti-ballistic missile systems. Currently, Vought is providing the four-stage Scout research rocket and its launcher for the National Aeronautics and Space Administra- ion. In the human factors of flight, Vought is taking the lead with its orbital flight simulator and space-oriented Cockpit Labora tory. Advanced materials research is also being pushed by this division. ELECTRONICS DIVISION Vought electronics will be developed, manu factured and marketed in increasing volume. Military systems under development include antennas and related electronics, ground sup port electronics and antisubmarine warfare apparatus. This division is also producing actu ators for the Minuteman ICBM. RANGE SYSTEMS DIVISION Thirteen years’ experience in remote base operation qualifies Vought for additional busi ness in this new field. The Range Systems team will establish and operate test ranges and test equipment for missiles and space vehicles. RESEARCH DIVISION In a new Research Center, scientists of this division will mine new knowledge from many fields. Basic research is planned into astro nautics, undersea warfare, the life sciences (relating to human factors of flight), electro gravities and other areas. As it evolves into applied research, this advanced work will materially support other Vought divisions. Genesys Corporation, a wholly owned sub sidiary company, intensifies Vought’s diversifi cation into commercial electronics. Company emphasis is on automation, and its key per sonnel are engineers experienced in the fields of electronics, computers, magnetic memory, and associated electro-mechanical devices. Vought Industries, Inc., formed late in 1959, is engaged in the design, manufacture and j marketing of mobile homes, an industry with a great growth potential. You live at a discount in Dallas In Texas there is no state income tax and no local or state sales taxes. Low school and property levies add to your savings. Home construction costs — as well as house and apartment rentals — are below the national average. Fuel costs are negligible, and most groceries cost less. Dallas has grown faster since 1950 than any other U.S. city. One reason is the city’s wealth of entertainment and cultural centers. Another reason is the attractive cost of living.

Hale was chief of the swine di vision of the A&M Agricultural Experiment Station at the time of his work. In his first experiments in 1932, he fed swine diets lacking in Vitamin A with the result that some littei's of pigs were born without eyeballs, and all offspring were born with major abnormal ities. Hale recalls now that in the early ’30’s his work was considered more or less a scientific fluke, and few animal scientists were ready to accept the fact that the then “new” vitamins could have the potent effect on offspring in mam mals that has since been estab lished. Some of his most treasured keep sakes from these early days of ex perimentation, Hale says, are let ters he received from fellow sci entists who were still bound to the theory that hereditary factors alone were responsible for malfor mations. ‘Immortality’ Dr. Herbert M. Evans, of the University of California’s Institute of Experimental Biology, recently classified the experiments at A&M with Vitamin A as “. . .destined for immortality.” THE Thursday, February 4, 1960 BATTALION College Station, Texas Page 5 WANTED SUMMER COUNSELLORS Leading Eastern Boys Ranch.

But is that surprising? We live in a world of doors and locks. To the man with the key a door opens. To another it remains closed. Among the keys to spiritual truth is one called HUMILITY. .It accounts for many of the millions who worship God every Sunday in the churches of our land. An American President once said, “I have been driven many times to my knees by the knowledge that my own strength, and that of all around me, was insufficient for that day.” He ruled a nation divided. But neither Blue nor Gray ever questioned the humility of the man who signed his name, “A. Lincoln.” Not only the portal, but the Truth of God’s House, is every Sunday an Open Door to humble men! Copyright I960, Keister Adv. Service, Siresburg, Vs, THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. AVithout a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.
