County Extension agent
Scientists at OSU will begin a
probe Into the medicinal secrets
of thePaclflc Northwest Indian.
The U.S. Public Health Service
awarded a three -year grant to
the OSU School of Pharmacy for
the study of plants growing In
the Pacific Northwest. Special att
ention will be given to plants
found In the Warm Springs Indian
Reservation reputed to have med
icinal value.
The Department of Pharmacy
at OSU will be cooperating with
several other departments at OSU
as well as scientists at other
universities to complete this study.
Dr. Leo A. Scluchettl, Professor
of Pharmacology at OSU., will
direct
the program Involving
authorities In botany, pharmacy,
and medicine.
Wild columbine, wild peony
bitter cherry, ocean spray, creek
dogwood, poison hemlock, shelf
fungus and, alum root are among
the plants to be collected this
summer. Scientists believe that
these plants and others may have
medicinal value as antibiotics,
sedatives,
tranquillsers, pain
killers, astringents, and In the
treatment of heart disease, veneral
disease, diabetes, and nervous dis
orders.
Drugs of natural origin were
used as the sole Ingredient, or
as one of two or more Ingred
ients, In 47 per cent of all new
prescriptions filled in 1960,
according to Dr. Scluchettl. New
methods of extraction and evalua
tion have created an expanding
Interesting In plants as a source
of drugs throughout the world.
Persons Interested In mixing
up their own home remedies should
remember that most of the plants
which possess medicinal qualities
will also kill you.
Incidentally, while we are on the
topic of native plants, the poison
hemlock has leafed out already.
Later in the year this plant
develops long canes perfect for
many games played for children.
Every year several children are
killed by the poisonous material
found In the poison hemlock roots,
stems, and leaves.

mother 63 years ago and has since
been carried by eight family brides
of younger generations.
Mr. and Mrs. Farr received
their guests In front of the fire
place which was decorated with
golden ornaments, vases of roses
and huge ribbon bows. In the place
of honor on the mantel was the
Farr’s wedding picture In a gold
en frame next to a replica of
Bethany Church in which they were
married. Also framed In gold were
pictures of their wedding recep
tion.
A white lace cloth covered the
table which was centered with an
arrangement of glads in shades
of gold, painted
daisies and
roses. The magnificent wedding
cake, beautifully decorated
in
white and gold was cut and serv
ed by Mrs. Oscar Lindstrom, Mrs.
