Pago 10 SECTION II Medical Men Have Clue To Fast Cure for Colds THE CAPITAL JOITRNAL. Salem, Orejron Thursday August 5, 1954 By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor NEW YORK (UP) - Medical science has a promising clue to a fast cure of the common cold It lies in the complex chem istry ol the white, undcr-part of the peel of citrus fruits, especially the lemon. Two physicians in a preliminary report to the medical profession said substances isolated from the undcr-peel scmcd to knock colds for a loop in record time. Th substances ore called citrus flavonoids, that is, yellowish. Vita min P. is a flavonoid. Drs. Morton S. Biskind of West port, Conn., and William Coda Martin of New York reported in ' the American Journal of Digestive Diseases that they had treated more than 22 casts of respiratory infections with the citrus flavonoids combined with ascorbic acid, or Vitamin C, in equal proportion.

Provided by the na- I tional office, the charter is em- blematic of 35 years of activity I of the local organization. I However, Cascade Area Coun cil has been operating more than 35 years since scouting first start- I ed in this vicinitv in 1H12 At that time annual charters- were fl not provided and it was not un til some seven years later was the local group recognized in such a manner. Troop No. 1 of Cascade Area was sponsored by the Salem i Heights community and meetings ' were held in a barn with Grover j Hemsley as its first scoutmaster, reported Gordon Gilmore, scout I executive. Among the initial members of Troop 1 were W. H. Eaillie, now administrator of the atate liquor commission, and Rev. Arthur Goble of Woodburn.

This "nutri tional approach," the doctors sug gested, enabled the body to con centrate its defenses against, the virus invaders in the membranes where they were most needed. They wercn's sure that the as corbic acid had anything to do with their cures, but seemed in clined to believe it didn't. They were impressed that it was a new approach "to a group of infections usually unresponsive to any pre vious typo of therapy. "Though our series of cases is small," they said, "the effects have been so dramatic as to war rant publication of this preliminary report, so that others may further assess the citrus flavonoids in infection?."
