Myers back from Panama jungles
Charles Myers, KU research assistant, recently returned to Lawrence after three years of traveling through Panama in brush planes, on foot and in dugout canoes.
His objective was to discover how many species of reptiles and amphibians live in Panama and where they are found. While in Panama, Myers was furnished laboratory and office space in the Gorgas Memorial Laboratory in Panama City. In cooperation with Gorgas, he did research on the effects these animals have on human health.
Myers collected 10,000 specimens which were preserved and shipped back to KU. They have now been sorted roughly into 400 species. Next, they must be cataloged into biological classifications and into the areas in Panama where they were located. Myers shares this task with his co-investigator, William Duellman, associate professor of zoology.
Lived in Panama City
While in Panama, Myers made his home in Panama City, but his research made it necessary for him to be in the field much of the time.
"Since there are few roads in Panama, travel was difficult."

"The base camps consisted of small thatched huts and 'lean-to' shelters," Myers said. "We generally had from two to twelve natives who helped construct the camps and acted as guides."
Myers said. "We would have to get to an area in the best possible way, set up a base camp and work from there.
The project has already produced results.

"We have discovered that many of the common toads and lizards are reservoirs of disease." Myers said. "These animals live in almost every village and are a direct cause of infant mortality."

PACE! For you! The person who lives creatively! Who seeks the significant news.
PACE reports contribution! Stories of people coming to grips with the world... its problems ... its opportunities.
In the October issue, for example, PACE explores the new revolution of responsibility in Negro America. Also how 14 million "war babies" will use their political power.
PACE reports on sports—a tongue-in-cheek article by a college freshman, "I Worked Out With the Baltimore Colts."
An action photo look at the Pan American Games—"Halfway to Mexico."
PACE is where Happenings happen.
From Expo'67 to Viet Nam. What people are saying and thinking about God, their life purpose, sex and marriage.
Stories about people with purpose—like Joe Sorrentino, budding Brooklyn street brawler who became this year's Harvard Law School's Valedictorian. Recent issues of PACE told of Norman Cousins, King Bhimubol of Thailand, Petula Clark, Jim Ryun.
PACE is there. Where it's happening. When it's happening. The significant news, Profiles. Interviews.
PACE, for people who want to make something of life. The Magazine of the Now Generation!
