There are two forms of diabetes,
one entirely different from the
other. The form considered more
serious is diabetes mcllitus or
"sugar diabetes." This is not a
disease of the kidneys but of tho
pancreas. The internal secretion
of the pancreas, insulin, which reg
ulates the amount of sugar In the
blood, fails in this function, and
the body does not utilize the sugar
properly. The olher form Is call"d
"diabetes Insipidus." This is a di
sease of the pituitary eland and
apparently not concerned with in
, gar metabolism.
It is not definitely known as to
the cause of this disease. That it
Is a disease of the nancreas is
quite de'inllcly established and ex
actly what structures In the pan
creas are involved is also known.
Why this fnilure of function result
ing in insulin deficiency is yet un
known. Diabetes Mcllitus at one time
was considered to be a kidney di
sease because its most common
s-vmptom is sugar in the urine.

turn results from an Inability of
the body to store or to oxidie
sugar; and this inability is due to
a lack or insufficient supply of in
sulin, which is secreted by cer
tain specialized cells of the pan
creas. Since most cases of sugar dia
betes develop after the age of
twenty, (approximately sixty per
cent of the cases are over forty
years of age, and hctween twenty
and forty years of age) we must
consider that some form of circu
latory disturbance may be a fac
tor in this deficiency of insulin.

tion. Diabetes in children Is not as
frequent, but when it does occur
it is often very severe.
The onset of diahetes mcllitus Is
usually insidious. The Individual

This Is natures effort to dilute the
sugar In the blood. The victim may
become very fat, and may remain
so, but obesity need not always
be present.

The vote was almost exactly on
party lines, with the Democrats

The House received a new tax
plan that would carry out Gov.
Paul Patterson's proposal to elim
inate the federal income tax deduc
tion in stale income tax returns.
But It also would provide a flat
$25 tax credit for every personal
exemption, instead of the $600 de
duction now given. ' . .
The effect of this bill would be
to increase taxes in the higher
brackets. Jt was introduced by
Rep. George Layman, Newbcrg,
and Sen. Carl Francis, Dayton.
The Seriate passed and sent to
the House a bill to abolish the 40

Nine Yoncalla' Boys Keeping
Inadequate Fire Equipment
In Readiness For City Use
A group of nine Yoncalla boys,
ranging in age from IB to 18, has
taken the lead in fire-fighting
training in the city and have built
the nucleus of a good suppression
crew, according to Stacy Adams,
acting fire chief.
Adams, in describing activities
of the junior volunteer fire depart
ment this week, said it was nec
essary to get help from the high
school students because townspeo
ple refused to turn out for fire
drills.
The fire . suppression situation,
dim a year and a half ago, now
has improved to a great extent.
Last summer, the city council
found ways in -the budget to raise
$1,000 for construction of a small
building in which the city's old
fire truck is now housed.
But a year ago last summer,
voters in the city voted down two
proposals to build a fire sta
tion and to purchase a more mod
ern fire rig.
The fire chief was interviewed
by Mrs. George Edes, News-Review
correspondent.
Adams said the boys nave made
do with the old equipment. Under
his supervision, the crew has re
furbished equipment to a point
where the firemen says the town
"has been able to keep down loss
es." . -
He pointed to recent examples.
Recently, the Yoncalla Garage,
owned by Yoncalla Lumber Co.
and leased to the Rural Electri
fication Administration as a ware
house, taught fire. A bunch of tires
stored in the building caught fire,
raising terrific heat and producing
a skyful of black smoke.
, Volunteers, which included
townsmen, were able to put a
"quick stop" to the tlames be
cause the equipment had been put
into good shape.
Another time, a house was sav
ed after only about $1,000 dam
age. Last summer the fire sta
tion and fire truck were voted
down, several houses were de
stroyed by fire because of inad
equacy of equipment.
All but one of the boys can't
qualify yet as firemen, for they
aren't old enough to carry acci
dent insurance written for fire
men. Adams said plenty of towns
people usually are on ftand when
fire docs strike, and they have
been manning the equipment.
The boys' improvements to the
fire equipment have included re-
Bill Would Make
PUC Position j
Elective Office
SALEM Ml The sponsor of a
bill to make the office of state
public utilities commissioner elec
tive instead of appointive told a
Senate committee Frjday that elec
tric consumers "are not adequate
ly protected from the influences
of well-organized utility monopo
lies." . .
Sen. Monroe Swectland, Milwau
kie Democrat, said the office now
held by Charles H. Heltzcl is "al
most autonomous" and 'the con
sumer "is under a disadvantage
because he is not adequately rep
resented." Sweetlnd recalled that the 1931
Legislature repealed the law pro
viding for etection of the commis
sioner. He said his objection is not
aimed at Heltzel, but at the state's
system of regulating utilities. He
said the power companies col
lected $4,600,000. in surcharges in
1952 and 1953 without a hearing
being held before the PUC. .
Sweetland brought court action
to get refunds of the surcharge
to consumers, and the case now
is in the courts.
Elmer McClure, State Grange
master, said he doesn't think the
PUC's budget is large enough.
Most of the criticism of the PUC.
McClure said, stems from his lack
of enough money to "pursue some
rale cases to their conclusion." He
said this lark has forced Heltzel
to drop some cases.

pleas of McKenzie River fishing
interests and put back into final
1955 angling regulations the order
that fish over 14 inches long taken
in the McKenzie must be thrown
back.
The regulations,) made public
Saturday after a brief Friday ses

agreed to two eeks ago. The prin

the McKenzie and one setting the
opening date for Lake of the Woods
in Klamath County May 28, the
same as other Cascade Lakes.

nearly all had to do with descrip-

The fishing season generally runs
from April 30 to Oct. 9 for trout,
salmon, steelhead and jack salmon
with May 28-Oct, 9 the dates of
lakes, reservoirs and tributaries
within Cascade Mountain national
forests.
Friday a final plea to remove
the McKenzie restriction was uH.
