Practical Test Devised To Warn
Of Hepatitis in Donated Blood
By DELOS SMITH
United Pratt Science Editor
New York 1fl A practical
test has been devised which will
indicate when hepatitis virus
lurks in donated blood. It is not
going to eliminate that unpleas
ant liver disease, you can be
sure, but it raould cut down
sharply on the chances ol get
ting it through a blood transfu
sion.
You will appreciate this ad
vance when you understand that
"the possible development of
serum nepatitis alter transiu-
tant hazard that Is not prevent- i But whole blood from other
able, even by careful attention
to details in the history of blood
donors and the application of
proved laboratory techniques."
The words belong to Dr. E. R.
Jennings, professor of clinical
pathology, Wayne State Univer
sity Medical College, Detroit,
and four associates. They worked
out the new testing method
which involves putting donated
blood into a chemical solution.
If the solution reacts by be
coming exceedingly clouded,
then the blood is considered to
sion of blood is the most impor- i be highly suspect.
What makes serum or trans
fusion hepatitis a big problem
is that some people seem able to
carry the virus around n their
blood without it ever sickening
them, and that the virus, like
most viruses, is undetectable.
Reporting to the technical
journal of the American Society
of Clinical Pathologists, the De
troit scientists recalled the fail
ure of efforts to detect blood
donor "carriers" of hepatitis
virus through their medical his-
! tones. It has been proven that
; donors who never in their lives
had shown the slightest symp
tom of liver disease, were "car
riers" of hepatitis virus just the
same.
They began working out their
j test in 1854 in the Detroit Re
I ceiving Hospital. Eventually
they subjected the blood of 14,
i 755 donors to it. The serum part
of the blood of 567 of these 14,
755 created a high degree of
I turbidity in the chemical solu-
tion. The whole blood of these
", 567 was transfused into 193
' hospital patients. Ten of the
' 193 developed serum hepatitis.

If you like FUN ....
You'll like the NUGGET
donors which caused little turbi
dity was transfused into 603 pa
tients. And there were no posi
tive cases of serum hepatitis
among them.
If the high-turbidity blood had
been discarded, it would have
meant the loss of 330 units of
whole blood in order to prevent
10 positive cases of serum hepa
titus and cases of "possible"
serum hepatitis. The scientists
granted that some colleagues
would argue that the seriousness
of the disease in the particular
patients wouldn't justify discard
ing so much blood.
They also granted that the
test would not detect all "car
riers" of the virus. They had
"knowledge," they said, of 10
cases of serum hepatitis result
ing from the transfusion of low
turbidity blood. These cases
were not in their own study.
Nevertheless,' they asserted,
"the hazard of serum hepatitis
is greatly increased when blood
is transfused from donors whose
serums have significantly ab
normal values for thymol tur
bidity." The principal reactive
chemical in their solution is
thymol which is derived from
thyme, a member of the mint
family and a seasoner of soups
and sauces.
Johnson Working
To Keep Reason in
Civil Rights' Debate
By RAYMOND LAHH .
United Press Correspondent
Washington API Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon B.
Johnson is working quietly but
constantly to maintain what he
calls "a climate of reason" in
the Senate civil rights debate.
As a result it now appears
possible, even probable, an ac
commodation can be worked
out to pass a bill after much de
bate but without a last ditch
filibuster fight by Southern
Democrats.
Picture Could Change Again
The picture has changed in
the past week and could do so
again, particularly if the ad
ministration fights to keep the
bill substantially as it passed the
House. Meanwhile there is much
talk of compromise.
It is denied Johnson himself
is working for any compromise
formula. But his public state
ments imply he forsees eventual
passage of a compromise bill.
Johnson has now talked his
fellow Southerners into showing
more restraint than they have
on the civil rights issue in past
I vears. Thev agreed to allow a
vote today on a motion to form
ally consider the bill, a motion
which has rarely reached a vote
in past civil rights tests in the
Senate.
Split in Two Camps
Some Southerners read the
1956 elections returns, with the
evidence of a Negro vote shift
toward the GOP, to, mean civil
rights legislation could no long
er be stopped in the Senate.
They now are reported split in
two camps, those who want to
fight until they drop and those
who want to compromise lest
they get a tougher bill forced
through by means of the "gag"
rule.
Cave Junction City
Councilman Resigns
Cave Junction Councilman
Roy W. Parmerlee resigned at
a special city council meeting
Friday. It was effective July 8.
Parmerlee, who replaced Ken
neth Deaton more than two
years ago, gave as his reason
for resigning the fact that his
shift work at a local service sta
tion keeps him away from many
meetings.
No replacement has been an
nounced, although recommenda
tions were made during the
council session.

"My sweetheart's name is
Sandra," writes a young man of
Manhattan. "Has there ever been
a song about a girl so named?"
I do not recall such a song.
There should be one. How about
a touching ballad titled What
Could Be Grander Than Sitting
On The Veranda Holding Hands
Wth Sandra? Not so good, you
say? Perhaps you are right.
However, give me time. I'll
think of something.
Heirs
What are your prospects of
being an heir to a fortune? I
have nothing to dream about in
that respect When I was a kid
I thought perhaps an uncle I had
in South Africa might leave me
a few million dollars. Nothing
ever came of it. As you may
have noticed the wills made by
some wealthy fellows are ex
ceedingly strange. Have just
heard of an Englishman who
willed that his five brothers and
sisters should toss dice for his
fortune. The relative having the
high toss to get all the money.
Settlement of that will must
have been an interesting scene.
Incidentally, the man making
the will instructed the executor
to carefully check the dice be
fore each throw to see none of
the prospective heirs sneaked in
a loaded pair.
For InTentort
People with inventions they
feel may make them wealthy
keep asking me how to go about
realizing financially on their
ideas. I am no expert on this sub
ject. However, I can recommend
a book titled, "How To Find A
Buyer For Your Invention" by
V. D. Angerman. published by
the Science and Mechanics Pub
lishing Company, 450 East Ohio
St., Chicago, 111.

Horses and Women
Italian girls have beautiful
eyes but don't know how to han
dle them . expressively. The
French women are cleverest
with the eyes in the matter of
male attention. They are experts
in the "come hither" look. Scan
dinavian girls have the "sexiest"
voices but have no style sense.
Irish girls have the best com
plexions. English women have
the most beautiful legs and are
most possessed of that' thing
called "class". Such are the opin
ions of a U.S. naval officer who
has spent much time seeing the
the world. We have asked him
to join our Horses and Women
Department. Maybe he knows
something about horses.
Allergy
Hay fever is not caused by
hay. Nor is it accompanied by
fever. It is an allergy chiefly
caused by airborne pollen
(flower dust). The chief offender
is ragweed. One of the leading
authorities on hay fever treat
ment is Dr. Joseph D. Wassar-
sug. He has compiled a pamphlet
titled "What You Can Do For
Hay Fever," which is considered
the outsanding work on the sub
ject. This pamphlet is distribut
ed by the Hay Fever Prevention
Society, 158 Remsen St., Brook
lyn, jn.x. rrice is zo cents a
copy.
Cot It Right
A contemporary quotes the
following: "I disapprove of what
you say but I will defend to the
death your right to say it." He
credits the observation to Vol
taire. That's wrong. It does not
appear in Voltaire's works and
there is no record of his having
said it.
Suggestion
Get out of the grandstand. Be
a sport participant. That is not
only more fun but can aid in
keeping you a healthy fellow.
What sport? How about bowl
ing? Your wife can go for that,
too. It is very good for the fig
ure, especially the waistline.

IV Grangers fo Help
Resources Group
Cave Junction Illinois Val
ley Grangers agreed to assist
the Water Resources group on
Sucker Creek dam work at a
meeting held Thursday night.
Members of the Grange will
aid in contacting property own
ers' within the proposed irriga
tion district, giving information
on costs and benefits.
A large map of the Sucker
Creek project has been prepared
for the Water Resources group
by the Illinois Valley Chamber
of Commerce.
During the business meeting,
Elwood Hussey presented a
paper which he later submitted
to Governor Robert Holmes at
the Democratic club picnic Sun
day. The paper, which was signed
by most members present, ask
ed the Governor to consider four
improvement projects for the
valley. They are the Sucker
Creek dam; a tunnel under Ore
gon mountain, to shorten travel
time on the Redwood highway
from the valley to Crescent
city; a cut-off road from the
Oregon Caves to Williams which
would open the present Oregon
Caves highway, eliminating
backtracking to Cave Junction;
and the need for a historical
museum at Kerby.
The world of books is the
most remarkable creation of
man. Clarence Day.
