R E C E N T L Y I received a report
from the Army Engineers on

In the F ourth Congressional Dis
trict.
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

powerhouse, down
stream from Lookout Point, will
be opened in the near future.

SCIENCE

germs fight back
by Science Feature*
It is common knowledge that
once you contract certain diseases
you arc not likely to get them
again. 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.
