TLCXO ~ PIONEER OF FARM BULK MILK COOLERS Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 13.1975 Director appointed for Pioneer Division DES MOINES, lA., - Dr. William 1.. Brown, President of Pioneer Hi-Bred In ternational, has announced that Dr. Donald N. Duvlck will assume duties as director of the newly-formed Pioneer Plant Breeding division. Until his new ap pointment, Duvick had been Director of Com Breeding. Research managers of Pioneer divisions dealing in seeds will report to Duvick under the new organization plan. Duvick has been with Pioneer since 1951 after receiving his Ph.D. at Washington University in St. Louis. In 1965, he was named coordinator of the Com pany’s Eastern and Southern com breeding stations and served in that position until named director in 1971. In 1968, Dr. Duvick spent five months in research and study of electron microscopy and biochemical genetics at the University of London, Duvick is a member of many scientific organizations, serving as chairman of a committee of the Crop Science Society of America in 1974-75. He is a member of several honorary societies, including Sigma XL Duvick will head a staff of over SO plant geneticists engaged in breeding com, sorghum, alfalfa, soybeans, and wheat. Pioneer’s Overseas Seed Division will continue directing plant research at its foreign research stations in close cooperation with the new Plant Breeding Division. Robert Seifert, who has been serving as coordinator of Pioneer’s southern com breeding stations, will move from Union City, Tennessee to Des Moines. He will assist Duvick in coordinating com breeding research. Seifert, who has an M.S. in agronomy from Kansas State, began his work with Pioneer in 1951 as assistant research station manager at Princeton, Indiana. In 1955, he was transferred to Union City as manager of that station. In addition to coordinating southern research, Seifert has headed up Pioneer’s virus and downy mildew research programs. “The change will result in even more contact and closer cooperation between all of our plant geneticists regardless of the crop with which they are working,” President Brown said. The researchers will continue to maintain close relationships with the Production and Marketing Departments, Brown added. HOT NEW ITEM Though many Americans are aware of the vital need for home fire protection, few have done anything about it. The figures are chilling Last year alone, fire injured 300 000, killed 12,000 and caused $2 billion woilh of property damage, but only 8 per cent of U S homes have fire extinguishers. Whenever there’s a fire, people are concerned —yet many don’t do anything about protecting themselves should a fire suddenly break out m “their” home. Every one always thinks: “It can’t happen to me.” Many fire extinguishers are bulky, unattractive and confusing to use—some rea sons why people don’t buy them. So Norelco decided to introduce a fire extin guisher that’s not only easy to handle and operate, but one that also looks good in any room of the house. It’s called the Flame Fighter and it’s soft, antique white, slim and compact. It comes with a convenient wall mount. This timely safety addition to the home is designed to be used on grease, electrical, gasoline, oil and paint fires and on all other B and C type fires. This is a hot item for the homeowner and a neces- 59
