California and the Northeast, from Washington, D. C. to Moston, have the largest problems with pollution-damaged plants. Although ozone concentrations are about three times greater near Los Angeles, plants in the Northeast appear to be more sensitive to the pollutant. This is because the high humidity and high soil moisture of that area increases the severity of injury bv ozone." Most investigators thing that high automobile densities are the source of the oxidant problems. Hydrocarbons and nitrogen dioxide present in auto emissions react with oxygen in the presence of sunlight to form ozone and photochemical smog. Elevated ozone concentrations, however, are not restricted to cities. Photochemical smog is produced from the auto n emissions, as air from the cities moves into areas, tates Marx. Oxidants may reach higher concentrations miles downwind from cities rather than in the cities themselves. This is because the reactions causing the buildup of ozone are slow and allow time for the air mass to move away from the city. In addition, city air contains materials that react with ozone and break it down. Most investigations of the effects of air pollution on plants have been concerned with acute exposures to one pollutant. However, ambient air usually contains mixtures of noxious chemicals. Investigators are now giving increased attention to how these chemicals interact in producing their effects on plants. There is evidence that mixtures of two pollutants can act synergistically to produce greater effects than either would if present by itself in the same concentration. There are other areas of concern, such as the relationship between air pollutants and pests or diseases. Another involves graining a better understanding of how yields, or the quality of a corp, are affected by concentrations of pollutants for prolonged periods without producing identifiable symptoms of injuries. Air pollutants may aLso produce subtle effects on plant reproduction, germination, and mutation rates. Air pollution is a fact of life, concludes Marx, and investigators are actively seeking ways to minimize pollution damage to plants. One possibility is to treat plants with chemicals that react against pollutants. Another more economical possibility could be the use of pollution resistant plants. non-urba- oOo Drug abuse is becoming a widespread problem in industry and business, according to a new national survey conducted by the Conference Board of New York.

A registered nurse is on duty at all sessions and a physician is on call. A camping fee is charged for those who can afford it, but no person is turned away for lack of funds, Mr. Bean said. The total fee for a child to attend a full camp session is $120. Many businesses, clubs and organizations donate or raise funds to sponsor one or more children to go to camp each summer. If your business or organization would like to sponsor a child, contact the Easter Seal Society. is asking far too much out of state travel. As a result the board reduced to one the number of persons who could attend certain out of state meetings except where the cost are paid by the federal government.
