Wild plum was in spectral blossom, dogwood lurked in the woods, the purple-flowered Judas trees ranged the red-clay roads, already deep with dust. But for two days snub-faced Dr. Ross Mclntire, White House physician, kept the boss indoors, made him rest in the lounge chair by the fireplace in the pine-paneled living room. Midweek came before Dr. Mclntire permitted the President to disport his 6 ft. 2 in. in the buoyant, tepid waters of the glass-roofed pool. Canada's plumpish Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King lay in swimming trunks on a cot while...
Others were quick to follow his lead. Last week Drs. Salman A. Waksman and H. Boyd Woodruff reported discovery of agents from soil which kill "gram-negative" (red-staining) germs-such as those of typhoid fever, dysentery and cholera. But scientists are going ahead cautiously. The protective value of both "gram-positive" and "gram-negative" destroyers has yet to be tried on human beings...

It feels that the new series will mean larger grosses and gradually build up public taste to a degree where they will go one step up to Red Seal...
...film and reproducing via light waves and photo-electric cells--something like a movie sound track. This may be wild day-dreaming, but isn't it possible that Victor is starting this line to demolish competition in the field, and realizing that it will probably injure its own Red Seal irreparably as well, doesn't particularly care, because it intends to switch in a few years to the film process anyway, which completely eliminates needle-scratch and gives much better reproduction...
...just doesn't seem possible that a company as smart as Victor would risk millions in stock and Red Seal name for a Black Label record--unless that new medium would provide a market for itself and later developments which would make it profitable. Black Label and Red Seal don't seem compatible. Black Label can exist only at over doubled volume--which Victor can't handle with its present facilities. The film process can be adapted to handle itself and the old method--consequently where the woodpile and who's going...
