THE CAPITAL JOITRNAL. Salem, Orejron

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.

Scouts Get
New Charter
The executive offices of Cas- I
cade Area Council, Boy Scouts
of America, has a brand new
charter. 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.
Currently Cascade Area Coun

for permeability. This flavonoid (or
flavonoids) clears, or makes per
mease, tne tiniest of the blood
vessels, me capillaries, by
strengthening them. 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?."
