class of
Besides their class rings,
school colors, and memories,
one fifth of the class of '74 will
have something else in com
mon: venereal disease, ac
cording to state representa
tive Lewis B. Hampton chair
man of the Oregon Venereal
Disease Task Force.
"By the time these young
people reach 25 years of age,
one-third will have contracted
syphilis or gonorrhea,"
Hampton said.
Some have already been
exposed, treated and cured.
"They are the lucky ones,"
Hampton said, "they are
getting well. Others have
syphilis or gonorrhea and
either don't know it or don't
know what to do about it."
Hampton pointed out that
venereal disease is not ex
clusive to young people. It
strikes persons of all ages
from the newborn to the senior
citizen.
Young people under 25 are
the most vulnerable and the
least able to handle the
problem because of being
unaware and because of the
stigma attached to the dis
ease. "Venereal disease is a
serious problem among young
people; it is urgent for their
protection that they receive
accurate information,"
Hampton said. Efforts should
be made to introduce venereal
disease education into the
Consumerism course
being held here
If you fell you have been a
victim of false advertising,
who would you contact? If
your washing machine, still
under warranty, breaks down
but the dealer refuses to fix it,
who should you contact first?
The answer to these and
other consumer related topics
will be discussed during the
Consumer Awareness course
offered in Heppner by Blue
Mountain Community College
adult education community
service.'
The course, instructed by
Jeanne Howell, meets every
Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at
Heppner High School, Room
10.
It is designed to make the
consumer more aware of his
responsibilities as a partici
pating, consuming member of
society. Whether in Heppner
or larger commercial areas,
the consumer plays - an im
portant role in shaping the
economy by the decisions he
makes within the market
place. Class topics will include
consumer in the marketplace.

health curriculm of private
and public schools beginning
in the 7th grade.
"I find it incomprehen
sible," Hampton said, "that
some parents and schools
object to children being taught
the facts about the leading
infectious disease in Oregon."
There is a tendency to link
venereal disease education
programs to sex education
creating resistance by some
parents and educators.
Venereal disease education
differs from sex education in
that it does not cover functions
of the reproductive system,
sex techniques, puberty,
family planning, abortions, or
other aspects of marital life.
Venereal disease education
belongs in the health curricu
lum where it can be discussed
as a communicable disease
along with typhoid, diptheria,
smallpox and mumps.
"Students should be taught
about venereal diseases as
they learn about other health
problems that affect their
lives," Hampton said. In this
way, young people will receive
factual information rather
than controversy about value
judgements.
The Oregon Venereal Dis
ease Task Force was estab
lished by Youth Commission
Chairman Clay Myers in May
of 1973. The final report of the
Task Force will be published
in June of 1974.

Ever think of the many times great-grandmother was
right, even with the limited facilities at hand?
The glycerin and rosewater she used for a skin moisturizer
and hand lotion and the lanolin for a night cream are just as
good today.
She rubbed her face with a cut cucumber for a mild
astringent and bleach, gave herself a strawberry facial or a
buttermilk and cornmeal mask.
Now we can buy cucumber or strawberry face creams, all
kinds of facial masks, and beauty grains instead of cornmeal
for scrubbing.
When great -grandmother made her lotion, she first made
rosewater. The simplest method was to steep petals of
fragrant roses in distilled water until both color and
fragrance were extracted, then strained through cheese
cloth. If she wanted to fancy it up a little she added a drop or
two of oil of clove or oil of rose, if she could get it.
Here is a good wav to make it today:
In an electric blender mix 6 ounces glycerin; Juice of one
lemon, strained; 8 ounces rosewater and while blending, add
about 4 drops of tincture of benzoin.
The lemon juice is a mild bleach and the benzoin is healing
and keeps the lotion fresh.
