I Science Has Created Monsters Capable Of Reproducing Themselves in Lab Work Stanford, Calif. (W Science has now created monsters in the laboratory monsters capable of reproducing their own kind. But they are no grotesque and fearful creatures such as Dr. Frankenstein fashioned. They are weird mutations of a bac teria found in the human body. This bizarre laboratory work- was reported last week by Dr. Stephen Zamenhof, a Columbia University geneticist, to a star tled session of the American In stitute of Biological Sciences. Dr. Zamenhof said his work may show why some germs sur vive drugs like penicillin and why drugs have so far failed to cure cancer. Helps Digestion Zamenhof said he created monster bacteria by tinkering with the genes of escherichia coli. This bacteria exists in the human intestine to help in the final digestion of food. Genes are infinitely small parts of reproductive cells. They establish the pattern of evolu tion. They determine, for exam ple, whether a child shall look like his father or mother. Zamenhof and his colleagues et out to replace a natural gene with an artificial gene. They did this by removing a substance called thymine, a basic part of the bacteria's gene. They replaced it with another sub stance called 5-Bromuracil. But Not Quite The new substance was almost but not quite like thymine. It was similar enough to be accept ed but different enough to make the gene "bogus." "The bacteria with the bogus genes differed in many ways WANT SOME THING IN YOUR POCKET THAT IS BESIDES HOLES?

"There were dwarf colonies a fraction of the normal size, giant cells almost a hundred times normal size; many had lost the original shape with which na ture endowed them." Moreover, he said, some bac teria lost their normal ability to manufacture certain chemicals essential to their very lives. The researchers had to feed these chemicals to the "hungry" bac teria. Do It Yourself Others gained an ability to manufacture for themselves bac teria which their parents had re quired in their diets. Even when all the synthetic compound had been withdrawn from the media in which the bac teria lived, "some of the organ isms retained the grotesque char acteristics which marked a dis tant ancestor as a new mutant," Zamenhof said. ' "In some experiments, three or more of every hundred cells mutated. Some of the mutants have persisted so far down Wafer Talks Set For Southern Calif.

' It is owing to this adaptability in the face of an alien element in their chemistry that has led researchers to suspect this is how germs survive such antibiotics as penicillin. CMDR. L. E. MESSENGER Di rector of the new Naval Reserve Officers School established at Southern Oregon college. Large Group Set For Navy School At Southern Oregon A large enrollment is expected for the new Naval reserve offi cers school opening Sept. 10 at Southern Oregon, College, ac cording to Commander L. E. Messenger, who has just com pleted interviewing the Naval reserve officers of Jackson, Jose phone and Klamath counties. "Interest in the new school is overwhelming," Messenger de clared. "Three fourths of all officers interviewed indicated a desire to enroll. Many who are in an inactive status stated a wish to become active again in a reserve program of this type, and members of other reserve units wish to participate also in this school in order to meet their promotion requirements." Particularly in demand is the class in military justice to be taught by a Medford attorney, Lt. Robert B. Duncan. This class was set-up for staff officers. A considerable number of doctors, dentists and other staff officers are expected to enroll. Dr. Messenger stated the class for senior officers, international relations, may be small due to the small number of senior offi cers in this area. Several offi cers, however, are expected to enroll for college credit in this course. LCDR Marshall E. Woodell will instruct the course. The third class, orientation to command, will be instructed by LCDR Eugene W. Bowman. Line officers have requested this class to prepare themselves for com mand responsibilities of higher ranks. All instructional person nel are on the staff at Southern Oregon College. Because of disestablishment this month of the Naval reserve composite company, commanded by LCDR John Stirling, in Klam ath Falls, officers in this- unit will join the newly formed Nav al Reserve Officers School, it was announced. Portland Man Fined In District Court Douglas I. Bishop, 60, of Port land, pleaded guilty to a charge of petty larceny and was fined S25 plus costs and sentenced to 10 days in county jail Friday.

Crater Lake in southwestern Oregon is six miles in circum ference and has no visible outlet. 1YNDICATE. he, WORLD BIGHTS BESEt Proof Required Against Girard Tokyo W The Japanese at torney for U.S. Army Specialist 3-C William S. Girard said Sat urday there will be no compro mise for a lesser charge against his client. Chief Defense Counsel, Itsuro Hayashi said the prosecution will have to prove its charge of manslaughter against Girard or free him. "Under Japanese law there can be no compromise," he said. "A compromise in the form of a lighter charge cannot happen. And, even if it could, I would not be a party to It. I never make a compromise. "As far as I am concerned," the prosecution is going to have to prove what they have charged Girard with doing." What Girard is charged with is the shooting death of Mrs. Naka Sakai, a Japanese scrap metal collector, on a U.S. Army firing range Jan. 30. The trial of the 22-year-old Ottawa, 111., soldier started' last Monday in the Japanese Mae bashi District Court. The prose cution charged he deliberately fired at Mrs. Sakai and several others, causing her death. The defense contended he fired an empty shell from a grenade launcher In their general direc tion only to scare them, and that her death was an accident. Grange Notes Phoenix Grange Phoenix Grange met Tuesday, Aug. 27 at 8 p.m. for the regu lar business meeting. At the meeting was Mrs. Harold Dens more, a member of our Grange. Mr. and Mrs. Densmore and Sandra are now living in Rose- burg. Farm problems were discussed at length. Mervm Hixon ex pressed his opinion that the three leading farmers' groups were not cooperating, each rec ommending different programs to our U. S. Congress, resulting in confusion as to just what would be a program satisfactory to all three groups and farmers in general. The Jackson county planning ordinance, which is coming up for a hearing soon, was also dis cussed. There is one petition be ing circulated at present in the county, concerning the proposed ordinance. Legislative committeeman Mel vin Lattie, read a resolution con cerning the plan which Phoenix Grange approved. It was voted that the resolution be presented to the county court. Dee Hendrickson reporting on horticulture said harvesteing of the main pear crop was about over, and that the yield and qual ity of the fruit had been spotty over the county due to weather conditions. Vaughn Quackenbush 'and Melvin Lattie reported on the( Town and Country fair and the Pomona Grange booth. Delmar Smith is to be commended on his arrangement of the display which was quite attractive. The display of pears, showing how hybrid fruit is obtained by cross ing red Bartlett and De Cornice, was the contribution of Phoenix Grange to the fair. Master Dee Hendrickson thanked Vaughn Quackenbush for his time and effort in obtaining that display. The booth is to be shown in its entirety at the state fair in Salem, which is now in progress. There were two display tables. Mr. and Mrs. Al. Schroeder had several cartons of eggs, to dem onstrate how eggs are graded as to size and weight. Chet Parker had a table of curios, shells, wood growths and old pictures and photographs. Lecture program was put on by recreation committee chairman Myrtle Hixon, and consisted of a word game. Mr. and Mrs. Olin Poe and Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn Quackenbush each told some of their exper iences and impressions of Cana da. Mr. and Mrs. Quackenbush made a trip there earlier in the summer and Mr. and Mrs. Poe have just returned. They all agreed the roads in Canada were not as good as here in the U. S. Mrs. Poe said there were heavy rains while they were there which made the roads worse thn mey wouia nave been otherwise. Poe was especially interested in the crops which were good, but, due to the short season and rains, do not ripen in the field, but are stacked and threshed when weather permits. HEC chairman Coral Schroe der announced there would be a melon feed at the 'next meeting, Tuesday, Sept. 10, with no ap pointed refreshment committee. The secretary read a letter of thanks from the Phoenix Festi val committee for the Grange cooperation at the Festival held last month: Also read was an in vitation from Gold Hill Grange to attend their celebration of the burning of the mortgage, Thurs day, Aug. 29. Grange closed at 9:30 ptm. and refreshments of dessert delight and coffee served in the dining room by the refreshment com mittee, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Smith, Mrs. Dora Hilton and Mr. and Mrs. Barney Lewin. Vases of zinnias and cosmos decorated the tables. Gertrude Lewin, Publicity Chairman.

My parents won't forgive me for eloping. Mrs. M. R.-rShe's made her choice and must stick to it. Sylvia D. I am a girl of 21, who has made a terrible mistake in marriage. A year ago I met a serviceman at a dance and we fell madly in love. My parents wanted me to wait a while be fore marrying, but I wouldn't listen to them and I eloped. Well, he took me to live with his mother in a city very far from my home. His mother treats me like dirt. She accused me of "roping Jack into ' marriage." She chases me out of the kitchen. She tells Jack not to give me any money, claiming that I am lazy and no good. There is no radio, no TV set in this home and Jack hasn't taken me out since we've been married. I wrote to my parents saying I wanted to come home, but they won't forgive me for elop ing. I feel I'll go crazy here. Mrs. M. R. My husband and I told Sylvia what the conse quences would be if she went against our wishes. We told her that she is not to come crying back to us when she finds out what a mistake she has made. We could have told her what to expect, but she wouldn't listen. My husband and I had a fine young man picked out for Sylvia, but she would have none of him. She had always been very obedi ent until she met this Jack and then she acted like a crazy one, talking back to us and carrying on like a wild girl. Some people may think we are too harsh, but we believe in old fashioned discipline. Sylvia has made her choice and she must stick to it. " The Council There is a dif ference between discipline, even the old-fashioned sort, and tyr anny. These parents seem to be committed to the latter. Discipline implies judicious authority. A disciplined child would have enough freedom to grow, to learn to make choices. to accept responsibility for him self. As the years go on, the par ents would let out more and more rope so that the nearly adult young person can step into the world on his own. He be comes his own authority and has no need of a parent's authority to restrain him. Under tyranny, the individual never learns to accept responsi bility for himself. He either bows to the yoke or must break it. If he is forced to break it, he is very likely to do so in a wild, irresponsible manner as Syl via did. In our society, a young woman oi bylvia s age cannot be ex pected to "obey", and to accept a young man her parents wish to force on her. The best that parents can do is to give her ad' vice and guidance in looking for young men with desirable char acteristics. Sylvia shows she is very ill equipped to deal with life when she looks to her parents as her only hope out of her dreadful situation. This marriage, under the present conditions, is hope less. She must tell her husband that they have to live separately from his mother if they art to make a go of the marriage. She should plan to take a job, for a while at least, so that she can show both Japk and herself that pears, plums and peaches. The canned fruit will be used In missionary work this winter. Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Johnson of Ft. Baker, Calif., will arrive this weekend to spend a few days with Mrs. Johnson's moth er, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Blair.

It will be very difficult for Sylvia because her relationship to everyone is a childlike, de pendent one, but she should try to force herself into greater strength and maturity. She may find it necessary to get some guidance from a clergyman or family counseling service. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.)
