Vision of superspeed air and rail links reshape travel
Peter Masefield predicts commercial planes reaching 1800 mph by 1970 and supersonic airliners with rapid climbs. He envisions vertical takeoff craft and a monorail system to link London and Edinburgh in minutes, with city center underground airports to curb noise. Rail speeds may reach 100 mph aided by atomic power, while cautious helicopter planning emphasizes noise management.

Aureomycin in Poultry Feeding Update
A Canada Department of Agriculture study at Brandon tested aureomycin in starting, growing, and laying rations for poultry. Results showed faster early weight gain and better feed efficiency when included in starter diets, but benefits faded by 15 weeks and egg production generally did not improve. Continued use through laying stages seemed advantageous only if starter ration included the antibiotic. otherwise no gain from later additions.

Athlete's foot not contagious by public exposure study finds
A study led by Dr. R. L. Beer shows that exposure to fungi in pools or bathrooms does not usually cause athlete's foot. Researchers tested 45 volunteers and could not induce the infection, suggesting the body’s skin resistance plays the key role and fungi on the victim's own feet initiate outbreaks.
