Atomic X-ray Probe Tests Trees In Iowa Forests
A portable X-ray unit using thulium developed by Dr. Harold McNabb Jr and Iowa State College botanists attaches to a tree to detect decay without felling it. The device, four grains of thulium in a compact lead housing, pivots to align a radiation aperture and can X-ray a maple in four minutes and a 12 inch tree in eight. It aims to speed forest surveys and decay rate studies, with plans for a more powerful thulium source to cut exposure times further.

Fathers No Longer Boss in Modern Homes Says Psychologist
By HAL BOYLE. In a reflective column, the writer notes psychologists view the father as less of a final authority, arguing shared responsibility is possible though he doubts full removal of leadership. He recalls an old-fashioned father as firm yet loving, contrasting with a spineless modern dad and a child’s bedtime tale.
