300 Million Year Old Log On Display In Rolla Museum
A fossil log about 300 million years old is exhibited in the outdoor section of the Ed Clark Museum of Missouri Geology in Rolla. Donated by Peabody Coal Co, the log measures over 2 feet in diameter and came from Bevier coal stripping at Peabody's Mark Twain mine north of Columbia. Dr. Wallace B. Howe notes it likely represents Cordaites, a large Pennsylvanian era tree-like plant, part of a trunk possibly 30 to 40 feet high, with sand-filled preservation and coalified outer material.

Burns Exceed Polio Deaths in 1954 Peak, Doctors Warn
Three Texas physicians from the University of Texas Galveston urge a national burn prevention drive calling for coordinated action by a single government agency. They cite 1970 NSC data showing 6,700 burn deaths and 250,000 disabling injuries, far above polio in 1954, and urge safer space heaters, water heaters, stoves, and flame retardant clothing. Most severe burns stem from home incidents, with costs around 36000 and a 50 percent fatality for those burning over half the body.

In Philadelphia, two Water Department workers who recovered 92400 from a sewer inlet nine months ago still seek a government reward. They say honesty deserves compensation though the money is tied to a larger 241.4 million batch of old or damaged bills slated for destruction and stolen from the Federal Reserve Bank. Their lawyer cites IRS practice of a 10 percent finder’s fee to informants in tax collection.

Irwin says reprimand was proper for moon souvenir envelopes
Apollo 15 astronauts James Irwin Al Worden and David Scott kept 400 postal covers and 232 NASA approved mementos on the moon voyage. They planned to sell 100 to a German collector and let proceeds fund a trust for their eight children but a seller moved early. Irwin says NASA had to rebuke them and they erred in commercial use.
