The various elem ents of the W illam ette Valley Flood Control project constitute the m ajor work in Oregon. C onstruction of the D etroit dam and power house is now complete. First power will be put on the line in June with a 50,(XX) kw generator, to be fol lowed by another 50.000 kw in October. The re-regulating dam below D etroit will be ready to furnish 18.000 additional kw in April 1954. The flood control value of the D etroit dam was felt very beneficially in the Ja n u ary floods this year. W ork on the ¡xiwerhouse at Lookout Point dam has been sta rtl'd and it is anticipated th a t dam and powerhouse, down stream from Lookout Point, will be opened in the near future. ♦ T H E PRELIM INARY report on the possibility of providing a deep w a te r ocean harbor at Chet co Cove.

Chicken pox and scarlet fe ver are examples of diseases which seldom strike the same person twice. The reason for this is that your body’s defenses usually make you resistant to these particular diseases after the first attack. In recent years, scientists have become aware of a sim ilar type of resistance which some microbes can develop against the chemical weap ons devised to combat them. Thus a microbe originally known to be affected by a sulfa drug or anti biotic may after a time develop strains resistant to the drug. Development of such resistant strains is the microbe’s way of fighting back. An example of this is the staphylococcus fam i’y of bacteria, some strains of which have become resistant to penicillin and other antibiotics. Under a microscope, these germs, which cause such infections as boils and abscesses, look like clusters of tiny grapes. Fortunately this problem of bac terial resistance is far from hope less. Not long ago, scientists of Chas. Pfizer & Co., Inc., announced the discovery of a new antibiotic —one of the miraculous earth-mold drugs—which is particularly effec tive against r e s i s t a n t b a c t e r i a . Named magnamycin, it has recent ly been made available to doctors around the world. A report in the medical journal Antibiotics and C h e m o th e r a p y chronicled the success of this new antibiotic in laboratory tests. These tests indicate that magnamycin is effective against germs th at have developed resistance to the anti biotics now in general use, includ ing the resistant strains which cause a rare staphylococcal enter itis — a disease not unlike acute food upsets. A separate report by a physician of the University of California School of Medicine also records the successful use of magnamycin a- gainst tonsillitis, pneumonia, amoe bic dysentery and local infections such as boils and abscesses. How ever, the scientists believe that magnamycin’s m ajor importance lies in its success against resistant germs. -------------------------- Mr. and Mrs. Bob Dimmick spent the past week in the San Francisco area.
