Elmer Deetz (R-Canby) has failed in a move to reject . Senate amend ments to a bill relieving family dairies from the regulations of the State Department of Agri culture. The Canby dairyman who has become widely known for his battle against state milk market ing controls had previously voted in favor of the bill affect ing one-cow . or three-goat dairies. But he took the floor of the chamber in an attempt to turn down Senate amendments that spelled out sanitary and health regulations the family dairies still would have to ob serve. Move to Kill Small Dairies Deetz said the bill would mean that if he had two cows on his farm and his son had one cow on the same farm, his son would not be able to sell milk to at-the-farm customers. The bill was part of a move, Deetz said, to kill small farm dairies. He class ed it with what he called the "monopolistic" bill to eliminate all but grade A milk from the Oregon market. Rep. Joe Rogers (D-Independ-ence), another dairyman, took issue with Deetz and said "peo ple should not come to the Leg islature to feather their own nests." Deetz' motion to reject the Senate amendments was defeat ed, 3 to 26 with one excused. W-War II General Injured in Wreck Pittsburg, Calif.

He had com mand of the 45th Infantry Division. cents and young . adults. He also pointed out that it is respon sible for heart disease and death even in later life. Now Preventable "But -thanks to research ad vances by medical science, rheu matic fever has taken its place among preventable diseases," Andreae said, adding that "the Oregon . Heart association has given considerable financial sup port to research studies on this subject."- - He revealed that at the pres ent time the Oregon association is supporting research projects totaling nearly $7,500 at the Uni versity of Oregon medical school and Reed college and Bend, Ore. A bulletin from the Oregon Heart association states that "knowing when to call your doc tor and what to tell him about your child s sore throat may save your youngster from at tacks of rheumatic fever, the disease which causes more heart damage and long-term crippling illness in young people than, any other." j w Preceded by Infection The bulletin explains that "a rheumatic fever attack is almost invariably preceded by a'strep toccocal infection, most com monly a 'strep' sore throat,, and suggests seven key questions, for parents to aid them in obtaining prompt medical attention for suspected "strep" infections.' 1. Did the sore throat come on suddenly 2. Does your youngster com plain his throat hurts most when he swallows? 3. Does it hurt below the an gle of the jaw when you press there gently with your fingers? Are the glands swollen there? 4. Does he have a fever? How much? (Usually a 'strep' infec tion brings on a fever between 101 and 104 degrees.) . 5. Does your child complain of a headache? 6. Is he nauseated? Has he vomited? 7. Has he been in contact with anyone who has had scarlet fe ver (also a streptococcal infec tion) or a sore throat? The Heart association bulletin notes that rheumatic fever, un like other childhood diseases, is a "repeater," with each new at tack greatly increasing the dan ger of heart damage. Protection Given "Fortunately,"- the bulletin states, "medical science now has drugs like penicillin which, if administered regularly to per sons with rheumatic fever . his tories, : can prevent streptococ cal infections and give real pro tection against -these repeat attacks."- , - - V- o Research studies being; spon sored by the Oregon Heart asso ciation are aimed at rheumatic fever control and s prevention. One study, in particular, is being conducted at the University of Oregon medical school to deter mine' when to allow children with rheumatic fever to begin convalescence. - The United States uses about 700,000,000 pounds of cocoa beans annually and Africa is the principal source, producing two-thirds of the world supply.

Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Aline Mosby Hollywood (U.R) Older movie : kings and queens are glamorous and live in Holly wood, but to day's young film actors wear leather jackets and live in New York. Marlon Bran do and Mont gomery Clift launched the New York com muters' club of of film actors, followed by Julie Harris and newcomer - James Dean. Now another female, Jo anne Woodward, has joined the ranks. Joanne, a stage actress who scored in "Picnic," was signed by 20th Century-Fox studio and has been loaned to Columbia for her first movie, a co-starring role with Van Heflin. But when the cameras stop grinding on "Cal ico Pony" she'll hurry back to New York. r "I love New York and hate it here," declared the pretty blonde. "I'm just used to New York. I eventually want to work on the stage, anyway. It's much more fun than making movies. Oh, I'd like to be a movie star but only because that's the best way to get ahead on the stage!" Hollywood 'Impressed' Joanne reflected that Holly woodites are "impressed" by ac tors who scorn the palm trees and sunshine to live in New York near the theater. "It's funny how people out here are about New York actors," she said. "They seem to feel they're something great, whether they really are or not." .; For her first film, Joanne "de glamourized" herself in a realis tic fashion that would pale the Hollywood cuties. To portray a backwoods girl, Joanne chopped off her hair in jagged hunks. She wears baggy trousers, a man's oversized shirt and ancient shoes. Her face is bare of make-up. She looks to me like a double for Tommy Rettig, the country boy on the "Lassie" TV show. 'All I need is a dog," agreed Joanne. Full Treatment "But at the end of the picture they glamourize me with make up, curls and bosom pads." Fol lowing the current trend of new screen beauties, Joanne is a size 32.

When working in Hollywood, Dean whips around on a motor cycle and wears a leather jacket and dark blue shirt, even to parties and nightclubs. "I saw Jimmy in New York wearing a long black coat with white buttons. He must have picked it out of an ashcan," beamed Joanne. Walk-Up Apartment "We all go in the same group," she explained. "I have a wonderful apartment. You walk up five flights. We sit on the floor and never serve liquor : because we're broke." -- - Joanne was born in Green ville, S.C., but her parents later moved to Glen Rock, N. J. Her father is a publishing house ex ecutive. "I was signed for movies after doing a TV play. I turned down three Fox scripts before getting this one," she said casually.
