Feel door for heat If you are caught in a smoke filled room, do not open the door until you have felt it. If it is hot, do not open it; the fire will be on the other side. Do not open a door when a window is already open; the resulting re-sulting draft may act as a chimney, forcing the fire's progress pro-gress through your room and increasing tremendously your own danger. Likewise if a door is open, do not open a window until the door has been closed.

BYU professor given grant for ear study The U.S. Department of the Navy has awarded $14,000 to a Brigham Young University professor to investigate the cause of an ear infection which has troubled swimmers for years. Dr. Donald N. Wright, associate asso-ciate professor of microbiology, will be working with the Navy Experimental Diving Unit in Washington, D. C, in an attempt at-tempt to discover the cause of external ear infection in swimmers swim-mers and divers. Until recently such infections were thought to be caused by fungi but Dr. Wright now be lieves there is a more subtle relationship between the water and the human ear than has been previously acknowledged. The infection occurs primarily primar-ily in the ears of swimmers who spend prolonged periods, of time in the water such as Navy divers di-vers and championship swimmers. swim-mers. The problem is also generally gen-erally confined to warm, humid hu-mid climates and to those who swim in salt water or open fresh water. "It does not seem to affect swimmers in chlorinated chlori-nated pools although some may have experienced a similar problem," said Dr. Wright. The infection although particularly par-ticularly acute for several days can be easily cured but relapse re-lapse is frequent. The painful experience keeps the swimmer out of the water. As far as the Navy is concerned, many man-hours man-hours will be saved when some method of prevention can be found. Dr. Wright is a native of Lehi, Utah, and a graduate of the University of Utah. He received his Ph.D. from Iowa State University and spent five years as a research scientist for the Navy. Before coming to BYU last year, he was head of the bacteriology division at the U. S. Naval Biological Laboratory Lab-oratory in Oakland, California.
