Book Presented to
Mrs. Emmons by
March of Dimes
A (book dramatizing “the most
exciting biological discovery of
the 20th Century” was presented
by the National Foundation March
of Dimes to Mrs. Dorothy Em
mons, biology teacher, Nome
School and Sah Yung Ah Lim
iMim Chapter member communi
ties books will be sent to the high
schools in the 2nd Division.
The book, entitled “Life’s
Key-DNA”, describes the striking
advances in molecular biology
during the 'past few years.
The volume was prepared es
pecially for high school biology
students. It is to bring them up
to date on what the DNA break
through can mean to the study of
basic life processes in our labor
atories.
Mrs. Steffen Andersen, chapter
chairman, is making the presenta
tion, said that the book brought
into focus latest information about
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and
the role its plays in nereidty.
“The National Foundation is
particularly interested in the new
discoveries in this field since our
research program is financing
many projects to find clues to
the cause and prevention of birth
defects.”
She said the problem of crip
pling birth defects, upon which
DNA has an apparent bearing,
is one of the targets of the 1962
New March of Dimes. The others
are arthritis and polio.
Dr. Thomas Rivers, vice presi
dent for Medical Affairs of the
National Foundation, said in an
introduction to the book:
“In recent research in virology,
biochemistry and genetics, and
particularly in the study of nu
cleic acid, man has moved closer
to the core of the mystery of life
than through all the centuries that
lie behind him.

Survives Leap Off
Golden Gate Bridge
SAN FRANCISCO UP> — Fran
cis Patrick Kennedy, the second
person ever to survive a leap from
the Golden Gate Bridge, remained
in critical condition today.
The 20-year-old Oakland youth
vaulted over the railing Sunday
and dropped more than 150 feet
onto rain-softened earth.
He suffered fractures of both
arms and numerous internal in
juries in the fall — the equiva
lent of- an 11-story plunge.
In 1941, Cornelia Van Ireland,
22, jumped from the span and
landed in the water 220 feet be
low. Her present whereabouts are
unknown.
