This is a "night view" of what postwar manufacturing plants may look like from the air. Designed by the H. K. Ferguson Co., industrial engineers and builders, of Cleveland and New York, the plan is the result of a year's research. The aim: to make the factory a community asset by hiding machinery connections, replacing boiler houses with cleaner, more sightly power sources, etc., and to give the employes ideal working conditions. For management, designers stress the value of the "air view," in that an attractive plant is a potential sales story for plane travelers...

Most successful were Drs. James A. Baker and Malcolm S. Ferguson of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, Princeton, who raised a group of "axenic" Mexican platyfish (Platypoecttus maculatus) from birth to full maturity.* The platyfish, not an egg-layer, bears live young. To make sure that their baby platyfish got a germ-free start, the researchers bathed the mother fish in alcohol, ether and iodine, made a Caesarean incision and gently sucked the young out of the germless oviduct with a rubber bulb, taking care not to rupture the germ-packed intestines. Then they popped the baby fishes into...
