opiai aqe The Si in Editor's Corner By Charles V. Stanton Page 4 The News-Review WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1963 i' , ' K ' 'a 11 ' - L-, -- ' ' ' i ' i -"S r ft? You Can Start Fighting 'Flu' Now It's time to get "flu" shots and the sooner the better. The state Board of Health reports that Oreon is almost a sure thing to le caught in the middle of a fall and winter influenza epidemic. Oregon and the rest of the West Coast escaped last, year's epidemic. Dr. H. Grant Skinner, director of the Board of Health's epidemiology sec tion, says this is almost a sure in dication the state won't escape this year. He said flu follows a pattern of . moving into areas it missed the pre vious year. He called for immunizations right away, to be completed by mid-De cember. This need for speed is due to the time it takes to develop anti- . bodies after vaccination. The doctor said immunization was , particularly important to high-risk groups such as elderly people, those with chronic ailments such as heart, lung and kidney disorders and preg nant women. ' To back his contention that "flu" will boom is the weekly communica ble disease report. It shows that flu . cases are already on the increase. They aren't yet at a dangerous lev el, but they have risen slightly above the average. In Douglas County, we have about 30 cases in the last two weeks nf October. Rabies Possibilities Scare Health Men While on the subject of diseases, a growing concern is being shown in the state on the subject of rabies. At its state meeting in Roseburg recently, the Board of Health Advis ory Committee began thinking se riously about having all dogs inocu lated against rabies. The reason, of course, is that dogs are the closest animals to man and are most likely to spread the di sease to him. The reason for the fear is t h e dread form the disease takes and the certainty of death after it pro gresses to given degree. ' The horror of the disease is out lined in the communicable disease report. It tells of an experiment car ried out on an 8-month old cat which was inoculated with a live virus ra bies vaccine in a study to try to de termine cause. i "Twelve days later, the animal manifested slight paralysis of the back legs. It was apprehensive and refused to eat or drink. "Over the next few days, the di sease progressed. The right leg ex tensors were completely paralyzed. The left leg was also paralyzed, but less extensively." Later the animal began attacking moving objects. Within seven days of the onset of illness, the animal had to be killed. ' So far, cases of rabies in Oregon have been limited recently to wild life. Experts say it would be poten tially disastrous if the spread of the disease is made from this wildlife to such house pets as dogs and cats. . It's reason enough for strong con sideration of mandatory inoculations of dogs. THE LIGHTER SIDE: PR Man Made f -Hf..J.,.. ..4-, . r For Track Job By DICK WEST 3 SAN JUAN, P.U! (UPtr-Tlio "Ifs a small world" phenome non works very well in Puerto Rieo. I hud been 'here only few hours when I ran into Irwin Tress.' : ' '.'', Yes, I said Irwin Tress.1 You were expecting maybe--' Judge Crater? I knew Tress about 15 years aiio when ho was a photograph er for tho International News Service In Miami, Kla. It wus in Korea, however, that he becamo a living legend. v J . After the outbreak of the Ko rean War, Lec Ferrero, an INS man In Seoul, began petitioning the home office for additional reporters. Finully, ho was noti fied, that help was on the way. Event Immortallied But Fe-rero's joy turned to consternation when his . rein foroccmeut arrived. In fact, the event was immortalized In a journalistic folk song, the first verse of which-went liko this: "My nume is I,oe Ferrero "And I work for INS. "I asked for correspondents "And they sent me Irwin Tress." . Tress is now public relations director ut Kl Commanduntc, the San Juan race track. It ap peared to me that they were made for each other. Only someone like Irwin could fully appreciate F,l Common dante. And vicu versa. Tress conducted a tour of the track one afternoon for nic and several other mainlandcrs from a Rroup of about 500 who came here as guests of the Sheraton Corp, for the opening of a new resort hotel. Camerero'i Grave like Camevcro, he is still alive and hasn't a trace of ulcers. There may he a moral there if you care to search for it.

The Grand Hotel was adver tising "the best meal in town" for 45 cents and the Y-NOT-EAT was featuring a full-course sup per special with all the trim mings for 50 cents. At the li berty Theater, one of the most "deliciously daring" films ever put on the screen, Elinor (ilyn's "6 Days," was winding up a run. Prices for the supcr-spo-cial were 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children. 25 YEARS AGO Nov. 6, 1938 , Twenty-five years ago the fol lowing candidates were running for office in the November elec tions on the Republican ticket: for Governor, Charles A .Spraguc; U.S. Senator, ltufus "See that floral horsehoc inllolman; US.

RUARK .Nacional did not seem fit as Pcrhaps my capacity for mor-isociates for a model for the at indignation lessens with the! nation's youth. So I wrote it, The Almanac By United Press International Today is Wednesday, Nov. 6 the 3101h d-iy of 1963 with 55 to follow. The moon is approaching its last quarter. The evening stars are Jupiter and Saturn. On this day in history: In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United Slates. In 1860, the first formal inter collegiate footbull game was played between Princeton and Rutgers ut New Brunswick N. J. In 1900, William McKinley was elected President on the Republican ticket. In 1053, U. S. Attorney Gen oral Herbert Brownell Jr, charged former President Tru man had put the late Harry Dexter White , at the head of the International Monetary Fund knowing he wus. a "Russian spy." A thought for the day: Eu gene Debs, Socialist presiden tial candidate in 1855, said: "While there is a lower class 1 am in it, while there is a crim inal clement I um of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." gray in my hair, but I think rrunk Sinatra took a real rap from the State Gaming Com mission of Nevada,, which re voked his gaming license in two lush joints in that fragrant state forcing Sinatra to sell his shares in the Sands Hotel and ordering him out of his in terests in the Cal-Ncva Lodge, where he has an ostensible 50 per cent. This high moral attitude was struck because evidently a Chi cago hood named Sam Gian cana, who is supposed to be one of the. .high, spots in this Cosa Nostra thing, if there is any such thing, spent a couple of weekends at the Cat - Lodge. Luciano Included About 100 years ago, or so it seems, I once served as guard ian of Frank's conscience, when t dug him up in Havana with a flock of hoods, including Luckw Luciano, on a weekend of fun and games. I am afraid I was unduly severe with Fran cis Albert for the company he and forgot it. Mr. Luciano was kicked back to Italy, and Frank went on to considerably more fame and a lot more fortune. So far as 1 know, he has not stuck up any banks or any thing like that since, and until very recently, could only be ac cused of hanging out with the Irish Mafia, the Kennedy Gang, in tho White House. ,;' Exposure Certain The point to be made here is that since the halcyon days of Dave's Blue Room, very few entertainers have ever made it big without being exposed to members of the mob. whether NevaS.vou call it Cosa Nostra or just the guy who owns a piece of a I cabaret in Jersey. Billy Rose. ! the Wall Street tycoon, can cite you some beauts "4s, I sup pose, could every big singing star who ever played a room in anything bigger than Cher aw, S. C. The point is that the gambling business, the luxury resort hotel business and the cabaret business all have at least indirectly been hooked up kept, since Luciano, who had! with the mob, if only on the been mysteriously commutcdi monetary end nut of the clink to Italy by Thomas Dewey's office, was moving back into this area via Havana, where the boys had a big hunk of the gambling Hndiety of bankers,- a great manyllike Buggsy Seigel and Mick recently become known to the public because of the unedify ing bleats of a bum named Va lachi over the TV,, in which the congressmen d i d everything but ask for Valachi's auto graph. Loyalty Unchallenged Francis Albert Sinatra is short of temper, but he is a loyal guy, and I suppose if some slightly colorful person from his past showed up in one of the Nevada joints, Frank would be apt to place the house at his disposal. The fact that this person was Sam Giancana, at a time when the public was quivering deliciously over the retailing of Valachi's "revela tions revelations which near ly any metropolitan reporter could have made; in his place generated a certain amount of nsut. &. s e:r "But for Nevada -i. mil God, Nevada! to ' go high and mighty and bust the Voice's li cense to entice suckers to the square crap tables in a couple of real estate ventures is the absolute Chinese end. There isn't enough real morality in Nevada to make a louse blink if it was all in his eye.

Oct. 12, 1962, Oregon was hit by the most disastrous windstorm in its history. The tornadic winds of the storm Freida caused millions of dollars in immediate damage. ' .. v It now has come to light that the storm did much more damage to Oregon's standing timber than had been estimated earlier. The blow fractured fiber in some standing trees. The damage done Ty this storm will hot be fully eliminated until all standing timber in the area of the biff blow has been harvest ed. That will be some 100 years from now. But will this very damage result in speeding an anticipated change in the industry? Will silvichemistry soon replace, at least in part, tne saw and lathe in manufacturing products from wood? Many years ago I was told by . one of the nation's leading ex perimenters that the time would come when the wood from our forests would become too val uable to be cut into timber and boards. Instead, it would be utilized chemically. A few days ago a professor at Oregon Slate University made the same prediction. He was speaking at the Forest Prod ucts Laboratory where he is one of the lecturers. He spoke particularly of pos sibilities for the use of bark. Bark is known to contain a wax which could replace earn auba, now imported from South America as a base for most waxes. Process Discovered The process for extracting wax from bark was discovered at OSU several years ago. When the Kellogg Co. obtained an op tion and conducted extensive ex "El Cominandanic also is the missioner, L.

Timing Not Good Except when he sings or acts or makes another million, Frank's timing is sometimes not so' good. This was one of the occasions when the timing was off. When Frank flung those brawls for the Democrat ic slush fund, to pay off the deficits, his timing was just fine, and he was a real gone hero. Sinatra needs no Sympathy from me, but I still think he got a bum rattle out of the hypo.Tites in Nevada. Busting him loose from a gambling li cense for speaking kindly to a hood is about as lofty, morally, as a madman firing a girl for waving goodbye to a client.

But this woman gives Day's News Frank Jenkins means. Too few people are edu cated in the field of silvichemis try. ; ;. ; Money Needed Furthermore silvichemistry needs large sums of money for experimentation and the de-' velopment of cheap processes. Presently most of the process es for utilization of waste are too expensive for general use. Then, too, the use of wood for plastics, alcohol, sugar, protein feeds, etc., has much competi tion from existing industrial and agricultural blocs. Perhaps, though, the volume of waste material to come from our forests in the future will encourage more research into utilization possibilities. Once started, silvichemistry is expected to leave mechanical processes far behind. The waste' we're now burning will have d pcriments, it reportedly found far higher economic value than the process satisfactory. But, tne sound material we now as it began contacting prospec- transform into timbers and tive markets, the price for the boards, imported carnauba dropped '- ' half the original cost. That ruin ed market prospects.: Wey erhaeuser' reportedly purchased from the Kellogg Co. the labora tory notes and reports and is still at work on the process. But, in addition to wax, bark yields a valuable medical com pound, a chemical which pre vents food from becoming ran cid, a chemical used in tanning leather, a dye, is an extender of insect powder, and can be used in making plastics. Aside from timbers, boards and plywoods, wood enters, jnto' the making'of paper. Chips, also can be used for : 1 insulating board, softwood panels, particle board, pressed wood, and other such products. Other Products Seen But the cellulose obtained from a tree also can be used in the manufacture of plastics, a high quality rayon, artificial sponges, a fabric that resem bles wool but is wrinkle-free Laminated layers from wood pulp, under pressure and heat can be made into moulded fur niture, boats, automobile, coach and airplane seats, and other such uses. Wood pulp reduced to paper, then laminated with adhesives is made into honey combed sections light in weight but with more strength than solid wood. Wood fiber can be reduced to finished panels for home construction In fact, at the Madison, Wis., forest laboratory a house was built entirely from wood ' but without a single timber or board. Burners at present are being fed with hundreds of tons of waste wood, all suitable for con version into some useful prod uct. Conversion of wood also would help to solve our unem ployment problem. In this space yesterday, we were talking about measures of weight and capacity, such as long tons and short tons and" metrip tons the point beinav that what is called a ton in one -country may not be the same as what is called a ton in an--'; other country. Maybe, while we're at it, we might as well take a look at measures of DISTANCE, such as miles and kilometers. Only in American countries and coun tries with a British background (such as Canada) is the mile the standard measure of dis tance. This can be very confusing indeed if you are traveling by car in a country where the kilo meter is the accepted measure of distance in Mexico, for example. ; A kilometer equals 3,280 feet. A mile equals 5,280 feet. If you are driving in continen tal European countries, where the kilometer is the measure of distance on the highway signs, or in Mexico, where the same is true, and want to re Juce kilometers to miles, so you will know where you are at and how far it is to the next point you are interested in, you will find this a convenient rule of thumb: Take 60 per cent of the num ber of kilometers that is, Several things, however, are multiply the number of kilome- lacking. tors by .60 and you'll be For one thing, our experience pretty close to the number of and knowledge of manufacture miles. is chiefly that connected with Factually, a kilometer is 62.1 production through mechanical per cent of a mile. 545 S.E.
