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.

Opens Scientific Interest
Hale’s experiments were credited
with opening up immediate scien
tific interest and considerable re
search into the effects of various
vitamins on diets for humans and
livestock, and the effects of these
vitamins in preventing many mal
formations formerly believed
caused by disease or hereditary
factors.
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 KEY
—and the
OPEN DOOR
One of the disturbing discoveries of life is
that the truth one man cherishes seems a mystery
to another.
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!

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.
