W. A. Krienke Completes Second Assignment in Costa Rica

Professor W. A. Krienke, of the University of Florida, returned recently from Costa Rick where he assisted the dairy industry in devel- oping modern manufacturing opera~:ions. This assignment was sponsored by the United States Agency for International Development. Pro- fessor Xrienke had been to Costa Riea nine years ago on a similar mission. He reported that considerable progress in daim- manufac- turing has been made by La Coo~perative de Productores de Lethe in the eapitol city of San Jose. Many of his suggestions were adopted by R. G. 3[ontero, 3fanager, and his assistants, including the production of ehoeolate milk, Cottage cheese, and a greatly expanded and efficient production of ice cream novelties. How- ever, much more needs to be done to improve the dairy industries of Costa Rica and of other Latin American countries.

Professor Krienke's eurrent assignment was with Cooperative Granadera Arenal de Tileran relative to establishment of a cheese plant. He conducted an inspection trip for 20 members to a small cheese plant at 3fonteverde, whieh proved very successful. In a eolony of Quakers from the United States, modern production practices for high quality milk and complete cheese making operations were observed. The Arenal plant will produce a pasteurized, non- ripened white cheese called Quesa Blanco, sim- ilar in characteristics to that now being made of raw milk on small dairy farms.

Institute for Scientific Information Expands

It is now possible for a scientist to indicate his subject interests by telling the Automatic Subject Citation Alert (ASCA) system what words, word stems, and phrases describe his areas of interest. The ASCA system then au- tomatically sends him weekly computer print- outs reporting new research.

This service augments the ASCA system's existing capability of answering such questions as: What current papers have cited earlier papers? Has this man published any new works? What current works cite a particular author's paper? What current papers are being published by a given organization, either in- dustrial, academic, or governmental?

The ASCA system examines current journals as soon as they appear, extracts tbose items related to the scientist's selected interests and sends him a pez~onal computer printout each week, giving complete bibliographic data. I f no findings are made in a given week, the scientist still receives a report eonfirmino" that a search was made.

More than 1600 significant journals in all areas of research are covered in the ASCA system. This new feature has been added and additional journals are covered, but there will be no price increase. The basic rate for ASCA services remains at $100 per year.

The theme of the Conference is "The Role

8 J O U R N A L OF D A I R Y S C I E N C E

of Animal Science in Meeting World Food Needs." This program will consist of nine general sessions devoted to selected topics with invited speakers on various phases along with panel diseussions and several sectional sessions with contributed papers on appropriate subject matter for technical workers to report on in re- search findings. Proposed topics of general ses- sions include: The use of animals in producing food; the comparative land-crop-animal rela- tionship in different areas of the world; the challenges to improvement in production and in quantity and quality of animal foods, the educational challenges throughout the world and allied problems.

R. E. Hodgson, Director, Animal Husbandry Research Division, Agricultural Research Ser- vice, U. S. Department of Agrieultm'e, has been elected President of the World Association for Animal Production. Other officers are: W. R. Trehane, Vice-President, of the United King- dora and K.

Carbon M o n o x i d e M a y R a i s e Choles tero l Leve l s

A possihle explanation of why cigarette smokers hay,,, a higher coronary death rate than nonsmokers has been advanced by Dr. Poul Astrup, professor of clinical chemistry at the University of Copenhagen, according to ~ied- ical World News, January 6, 1967. Smokers tend to have a higher level of carbon monoxide in their blood than nonsmokers. However, he states that on freeways near Los Angeles cars blow ahout 10,000 tons of carbon monoxide into the air evel,w day and drivers can easily acquire 5 to 10% carbon monoxide-hemoglobin levels without smoking. Furthernmre, carbon monox- ide inhaled in cigarette smoke and automobile exhaust fumes is particularly alarming to Dr. As- trup and his associates, who found that rabbits breathint~' as little as 0.017% carbon monoxide in air for ~everal weeks develop atheroselerosis and m.vo(~ardial necrosis. Chronic low-level earl)on monoxide toxic states exist in })road masses of the hmnan pol)ulatiml. Combustion fuel and (~ther exhaust fumes in congested ur- ban centers such as Los Angeles have been

shown to raise carbon nmnoxide hemoglobin values by 5 to 7%. In experiments with rab- bits, Dr. Astrup found that cholesterol levels in the aortas of rabbits exposed to carbon monoxide, under carefully controlled conditions, were 2.5 times greater and myocardial necrosis was about 8 times higher.

K e n t u c k y Dairy Conference

Optimism over the future was expressed by all speakers addressing the Fourteenth Annual Dairy Industries Conference sponsored by the University of Kentucky and the Dairy Products Association of Kentucky, which was held in Lexington, recently.

The optimism expressed or implied was not without problems. Changing business trends, advancing technology, more e~cient operations, and shifting of markets were some of the prob- lems involved, according to several speakers. Dr. Kar l W. Kepner, Purdue University Econ- omist, was particularly optimistic of the future, but pointed out that the industry must change as rapidly or more rapidly than the surrounding society.
