(JI.P) - Eastman Kodak Co. is rolling out a higher-speed Xray film that can halve a patient's exposure to radiation. The higher speed could mean less blurring and fewer retakes for people who get the shakes around the doctors. ' It is the first X-ray film in 20 years to offer a 50 percent or better drop in radiation dosage, the company said. The new product could help the world's biggest film manufacturer squeeze profits from its film-based business, which is shrinking as photography switches over to digital teehnology. Tested this winter at chi!. dren's hospitals in .Kentucky and South Carolina, the 800speed, general-purpose ruedical film is being shipped this month to.: hospitals, clinics and doctors' offices around . the United States and Canada. Phillip Bunch, a medical physicist at Kodak, said the film he invented with chemist Robett Dickerson might be especiall y beneficial for hospita! technicians · and longterm patients, particularly younger ones, in heed of frequent X-rays. Bunch said hospitals will save money because their expensive X-ray tubes will last longer and they would need fewer retakes. .Radiation dosages from Xrays have plummeted so much in the I 10 years since German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen .discovered the rays. The risk of developing can- · cer from a chest X-ray has been calculated at around I in 350,000, and would drop. to l in 700,000 with thi s new film , said Dr. G. Donald Frey, professor of radiology at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. But Frey said some contend there is no evidence.that radiation is risky at ·the current low levels. That could affect how many hospitals switch to higher-speed film . · Americans get an avera_ge of about 20 times more radtation from background so urces - from the ground, space and even their own bodies than they get from an X-ray, Frey said.

Directed by Roger Williams, the concert will be presented in the new home of the Riverbend Arts Counci l in the Masonic Temple building on Second Street in Middleport. . Although the concert is indoors, it will have the llavor ot an old-time band concert in the park. A medley of big band hits such as "Blue Moon" and Glenn Miller's ''Moonlight Serenade," concert band pieces such as "Overture for Winds" and "Aventura" by the well-known Ohio composer James Swearingen, along with several spirited marches have been included, according to Jeanne Bowen, one of the I !5 instrumentalists in the band. . "Something special to see at that concert will be a giant 25foot American flag on display on the wall behind the band," said.Bowen , noting also that refreshments will be served. The instrumentalists come from Mei8s, Mason. Gallia and Athens counties and one is a high school student . Rehearsals are held every Monday evening at the Arts Council.

Bowen said that file s of old music from decades back left in the band room at the old Middleport High School. now closed, were moved to the Arts Council's new headquarters. She said the band really has fun playing those old pieces and the audiences seem to enjoy them.

North's nand is weak and his suit iS weak· er. He doesn'1 even intonve·nience East from showing a spade suit. I think the bid has no merit - but both players made ·the· overca ll in the final of .·last year's World Open Te am (llympiad.l s !hat why I . write and they play? Yesterday, I described how the Dutch pair failed to defeat two spades. West started with three rounds of diamonds, leading the jack at tr ick three to ask for a heart shift. (When you give partner a ruff, lead your.highest card to ask him to shif1to the higher-rankin.g of the other two side suits,.) But East,. suicidally overruling his partner, switched to a trump, which gave declarer the time to score six spades ahd · · ' twa clubs. At the other table, the Italian East-West pair .showed that there was ·a much sim_pler way to defeat the contract. West. Norberto Bacchi, afte r leading a top diamond and seeing parther sta rt an echo to show· a doubleton, cashed the club ace. Then he took his second top diamond and continued with the" diamond three , his ·lowest card to request a shift to the lower-ranking of the other side suits. After rutting, East, Giorg1o Duboin , led a club as requested , which West trumped . Later. East scored his club qu.een, the silCth trick for lhe defenders. And Italy went on to win the title in some comfort. .
