FTC Probes Rash Of Mergers

How much blood can a person lose and still live? -S.K., Delphos. The amount of blood in the body depends on the size and weight of the individual. For example, a 160-pound adult will have approximately five quarts of blood. An 80poundtchild on the other hand has only about two and a half quarts. If a few ounces of blood is lost, it is usually not serious, but the sudden loss of a quart could easily make an adult faint. If he loses more, his life will be in danger. In case you're looking for a maximum loss without resultant death, ACTION could find none. We did learn, though, that the world record blood infusion is 933 pints. Received by Fred Wallace, 17, in 28 weeks, at Wadley Blood Center, Dallas, Tex., the blood was transfused because the lad was a hemophiliac. On the King Family TV show there Is a girl who looks like the same girl who plays the part of Kate on My Three Sons. Can ACTION find out if it is the same girt? D.G.D., Lima. The -My -Three Sons role of Katie is played by Tina Cole, and she is a member of the King Family, being the daughter of Yvonne King and the late Buddy Cole.She grew up singing with the family and now is married to Colney Howard III, a studio production executive. They have a son and live in Studio City, Hollywood. Where Is Ft. Knox? L. J., Delphos. Ft. Knox, which houses the U. S. Army Armor Center, lies 35 miles south of Louisville, Ky. The repository of the government's gold reserve, it also contains the George S. Patton Jr. Military Museum of World War II equipment Out bowling league is having a banquet the first week of May. For entertainment, we wouid like to get a magician's act, biit have not found one. Could ACTION supply us with names? E.L.K.,Lima. Ever hear of the Northwestern Ohio M a g i c i a n s Association? President Richard Resor, vice president Richard Haas and secretary-treasurer Doug Ferguson live right here in Lima. Anyone wishing to contact the association may write NOMA. care of 552 S. Woodlawn, Recently I have seen a soft drink commercial with a man playing a strange instrument. The man is dressed in white; the instrument is small, with about eight strips of metal of different sizes. Does ACTION know what the instrument is, how much it costs and where I can buy one? G. J., Columbus Grove. Of Indian origin, that strange instrument is called a thumb piano, according to J. Walter Thompson advertising agency, which produced the TV commercial. You may order one through the Voice of the Flower, 7328 N. Honore St., Chicago^ Saw ACTION'S item about Gene Autry's sidekick, but didn't see If Antry himself is still alive. Haven't heard of him lately. P.V., Lima. "I'm back in the saddle again." Gene, who was born in Tloga, Tex., in 1907, is still alive and kicking but not kicking a horse with his stirrups. Kept busy by his controlling interests in eight corporations, including a motion picture company, hotel chain and a baseball club, he also has interests in 17 other enterprises. Autry appeared in 92 feature flicks from 1934 to 1957, and also was the first Western star to join the elite group of the top 10 film moneymakers (1932-42). Although he no longer brands cattle rustlers, one source suggests he still totes a branding iron: it bears the $ mark. When you have fhc flag up on your mailbox indtcatiing yon have letters tn be mailed, is the postman supposed to stop even though he doesn't have any mail for you? .j Lima. Postmen on rural routes, or where the mailbox is mounted at the curb, are required to pick up mail if the flag is up. However, where mail is delivered to a porch mailbox, the postman is not required to pick up letters even if they are in plain sight. Are fresh water eels really male catfish? Y.M., Lima. No, they are not even in the same classification. Fresh water eels belong to the farailv "Anguillidae:" catfish to the "Ameiuridae." When and how was Hie first walch made? Who invented ft? T.
