Kirk HUe, Danville, III. If Recent developments in cardiac transplantation have pointed up even more sharply than before the need for artificial replacement of the heart. The artificial device would solve the problems of insufficient donors and of logistics. Moreover, the ethical, moral, and legal questions raised by transplantation do not apply to artificial hearts. We already have a partial mechanical pump that will support the heart temporarily. There remains, however, a number of unsolved problems before a complete artificial heart can be used in a human being. Extensive research to solve these problems is now being pursued, and progress to date is encouraging. advisor on consumer affairs A ble to buy one pair of i men s or ooys j unaerwear . . i'"- .i xnsieaa of me "pacKage of three"?

I. E. Kravene'f Brooklyn, N.Y. day. Why has the price of bread gone up? H. F. Main, Wooster, Ohio I Wheat prices are down because the weather in the areas has been excellent, and farmers have expanded their ability to produce per acre. Bread is up because the cost of the wheat is actually a minor part of the over-al- l price. The costs of handling, packing, transporting, and distributing are soaring. The press has tended to apply the word bums, and I do not "hippie" to admire that kind of withdrawal and reaction. But I think today's younger generation's broader movement to establish its own fashions and its own values and to live up to some of our values a little better than we have is good for society. wheat-growin- $500-millio- n lj long-haire- d mm America the Beautiful pie.
