Glutamine Suggested as Help In Excessive Drinking Cases By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York W Evidence to support the theory that al coholism is somehow tied in with errors in the body chem istry of the alcoholic, was pro- viaea Dy a wife who daily slipped glutamine into her husband's beer or coffee when he wasn't looking. Glutamine is one of the ami no acids which are vitally necessary for body chemistry because they are the so-called Grange Notes Upper Applegale Grange Five officers-elect who had not been installed previously, were conducted to the altar and duly installed by Worthy Master Menno Bachmann when Upper Applegate Grange held its first meeting of the new year on Friday evening, Jan. 10. Included in the group were Overseer Pearl Byrne, Stew ard Edward Finley, Assistant Steward George Redhead Chaplain Mildred Redhead and Executive Committee member Wilfred Pearson. Five of the other Grange officers were absent from the meeting due to illness. Reporting for the relief committee, the chaplain stated Sister Lena DeShazo is con fined to the Merced county hospital, where she was to undergo surgery for removal of a blood clot on the brain. Mrs. DeShazo sustained seri ous injuries recently when the family car in which she was riding with her husband, was wrecked in central California as the result of a blow - out DeShazo escaped injury Brother Harlan Cantrall is convalescing after severing a finger while chopping kind ling at his home. Sisters Edna Sawyer and Verna Culy are recovering from illnesses and Brother Hugh Scovell is con fined to his home due to a heart condition. Sister Irene Culy expressed appreciation for flowers and messages of sympathy received from Grange members upon the death of her father. Agriculture chairman George Redhead discussed the possibility that disturbing the balance of nature by destroy ing predators, such as coyotes, has been an important con tributing factor in creation of the present plague of field mice in southern Oregon. He also stated the average price for feeder cattle was 7 cents above that for January 1956, and that current cattle prices paid In Jackson county live stock auctions showed gains over those for the preceding week. Quoting from U.S. De nartment of Agriculture sta tistics. Brother Redhead pointed out that 40 per cent of the consumer dollar ex pended for food in 1957 went to the farmer, a gain of 2 per cent over the preceding year. However, present forecasts indicate that the farmer': share is due to decrease in 1958. he said. Soil conserva tion practices leading to more efficient land use were recom mended as one of the best lonff-term methods for in creasing farm income. The ways and means com mittee reported a successful New Year's eve dance with a good crowd in attendance and a total of $81.60 cleared for the Grange treasury. All mem bers and friends who served on committees or contributed in other ways toward making this event a success, were giv en a vote of thanks by the chairman. An officers meeting, at which plans will be formu lated for the year's activities was called by the worthy master for Saturday, Jan. 18 at 8 p.m. in the Grange hall All the regular officers and the chairmen of the home economics and ways and means committees are re quested to be present. Suggestions to stimulate at tendance and add interest to the programs were presented by Sister Anna Scott, lectur er, and tentative plans for iu ture fund-raising events was outlined by ways and means committee chairman Ethel West. These will receive fur ther consideration at the offi cer's meeting. Sister West also requested that the finance committee prepare and sub mit a budget of estimated ex pense of all Grange activities for the current year to serve as a basis for more efficient planning. - The first meeting of the Home Economics club for 1958 was announced for Mon day, Jan. 13, at 12:30 p.m. at the home of chairman Edna Sawyer. Appreciation was expressed to Brother James Winning ham for constructing the new benches for use in the dining room, and to Brother Omar Culy for securing used floor ing for installation in the back-stage area of the Grange hall. The advisability of enclos-l building blocks of protein. Whether or not the husDand s body chemistry produced glut amine sufficient for its needs, the added supply seemed to give results. Instead of being drunk from Friday until Tuesday every week end, he found four or five bottles of beer a week quite enough to do him. Unfortunately this lasted only five weeks, and then he re sumed his week end bouts and spiced them with sustain ed belligerency. Results Called Promising In presenting this and nine other instances where gluta mine was applied systematic ally to drunks, Dr. Lorene L. Rogers and Richard B. Pelton of the University of Texas re frained from making any claims beyond saying the re sults were suggestive and promising." Clearly there is much scien tific work to do with this theory, since built-in errors in body chemistry might cover the whole range of vitamins and amino acids and interme diate chemical products, not only individually but in groups and combinations. However, the scientists medicinal, all their alcoholics thought they had been -helped tremendously and these opinions were usually corrob orated by relatives and friends." The case which impressed them the most was that of a man who had increased his drinking over the years until he was drunk just about all the time. Within a week after starting daily doses of gluta mine, he stopped drinking en tirely. For nine months he took glutamine daily and got drunk only twice. Three months after the glutamine was stopped, he still hadn't resumed drinking. There is some experimental basis for believing glutamine does something to the chemi cal processes of alcohol with in the body. In 1955 a group of chemists demonstrated that certain micro-organisms which stop growing when a tiny amount of alcohol is added to their culture broth, resume growing when glutamine is put in after the alcohol. In their report to the Yale University studies of alcohol, the Texas scientists said "many difficulties are inher ent in human expenmenta said that with the exception tions of this sort and the m- of the man who didn't know terpretation of results is haz- he was getting something I ardous. ' Janus Could Help Trustee Operation Along Wall Street f. Elmer Walzer By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York (IP) Janus, the Etruscan God after whom January was named, was a bearded, two faced phe- nomenon who could look in to the past with one face and into the future with the other. Wall Street just now would like to have the face that looks for ward because it is uncertain if the market can generate enough steam to try again to overtake the November highs or if it is about to meet a new test of the Oct. 22 lows. Janus comes into the pic ture in the current "Trust and Estate News and Views," monthly bulletin on wills, trusts and taxes, published by the Merrill Anderson Co. 'God of Trustee' The firm says Janus should have been the god of the trus tee because of his ability to look forward and backward. In the current issue, there is a bit of advice on the meth ods of trustee operation in the market that could be helpful to the novice. The trustee's duty, says the article, is to seek the maxi mum income consistent with safety, and the maximum safety consistent with the production of income in rea sonable amount. And then comes the rub. for the firm explains: "This means research into the companies whose bonds and stocks are under consid eration; into the industries they represent; into their products and the public ac ceptance thereof; into what for want of a better word is called 'economy' as a whole, with- a view toward ascertain ing the place and fate of each industry and each company in that economy. And then it means prudence in the appli cation of such research." Two Heads Needed That's a big order for the average little investor. It's a job of using two heads one to look backward into the past and the other to plot the future-like Janus. The Anderson firm ob serves that the trust compa nies and banks serving as trustees can take considerable comfort in the results of the two-directional policies they have observed, and concludes: "Consequently, in the lat ter months of the year just past, there was no frantic sell ing by trustees. They sought opportunities to strengthen their funds they are always seeking to do this. Without complacency which could be fatal yet without fear, they face the new year." Passenger Trains Hit; Two Killed; Six Hurt Cary, 111. (IP A Chicago bound passenger train hit the rear end of another in heavy fog after a crossing accident near here Monday. Two persons were killed and six rushed to nearby hos pitals. As many as 70 train passengers were shaken up in the chain of events which in volved four trains. During the first nine months of New York State's compulsory auto insurance law, the registration plates of nearly 100,000 car owners were revoked for allowing their liability insurance to lapse. ing the ceiling back stage in order to improve the effi ciency of the heating system was discussed and an estimate of cost of materials for this purpose was given as approxi mately S37. Quarterly reports to Po mona and State Grange were read and accepted. A request for withdrawal presented by Sister Nancy Lou Redhead was granted. The publicity scrap book to be entered in the public rela tions contest conducted dur ing 1957 among the subordi nate Granges of Oregon by the State Grange, was on dis play during the evening. Refreshments of sandwiches and coffee were served by members of the Home Eco nomics club following the meeting, and an informal so cial hour was held. Composing the hospitality committee for the next regu lar meeting Jan. 24 will be brothers Menno Bachman and Forbes Brown and Sisters Maude Bachmann and Lula Brown. Grace N.

TuMday, January 14. 1938 MEDrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE TIVB Too Many Parents Said Like Puttv in Hands of Children REFUSES ARBITRATION. Cairo (in Egypt has refused to arbitrate its dispute with France over property claims, the head of the Egyptian dele gation negotiating with the French in Geneva said Sun day. The negotiator, Atafi Sonbol, said France had been given official notice of this refusal. Informed sources said the talks would continue anyway. Chicago (IP) A University of Illinois psychiatrist says too many parents are like putty in the hands of their children Dr.. Harry M. Seigenrich, an authority on child devel opment, said this "over per missiveness" tends to make children ''impulse-ridden, un disciplined and inconsider ate." Seigenrich, in a lecture at North Shore hospital, said the pendulum has swung too far from the overly strict par ent of the Victorian era to the overly permissive parent of today. He said many parents now rationalize their over-indulgence with the statement that "I don't want my child to feel inhibited." The psychiatrist said too many parents try to "make Mary stop sucking her thumb" or "Jack stop lying" without inquiring into and rooting out the causes of the behavior. Lack of Firmness " He gave these examples: Disobedience Usually stems from a lack of parental firmness or consistency. The parent recalls his own child hood and treats the child as he would like to have been treated, even when this might be "most improper." Stealing Usually results from a child's need for atten tion and interest. The act calls for parental displeasure and a firm insistence that it will not be tolerated. Running away from home The child often is "testing" his parents' affection. He feels rejected or unwanted. The parents should act to re move this feeling. "School phobia" Or reluc tance to go to school. Often due to a child's anxiety which can only be aggravated by a hostile attitude on the part of the parents. The child may fear leaving the parents, he may fear that something will happen to them, or he may be jealous of a newborn brother or sister. "It is best to return the INSTITUTE 'IGNORANT London OP) The New York Dress Institute was "imper tinent and ignorant" in in cluding Queen Elizabeth in its best-dressed women list this year, according to the Woman's Sunday Mirror. "With our hands on our hearts, we cannot say that she is even among the 12 best dressed women in this coun try, let alone the world," the paper said. child immediately to the school building, with a par ent if necessary," Seigen rich said. Struggle Within Nightmares These are common for youngsters six to eight years old. They indi cate a struggle within and a fear of unconscious "oedipal" desires to possess the parent of the opposite sex. The child who suffers a nightmare often will want to climb into bed with his par ents, Seigenrich said. This only adds "oil to the fire." The child should be comfort ed and returned to his own bed. Face saving Never repri mand a young child in pub lic, Seigenreich said. Sham ing him into behaving only creates resentment and causes further misconduct. "Since behavior it an indi cation of difficulty in finding adequate gratification of one's drives, it requires early attention," the psychiatrist said. "Failure to correct these problems may lead to future difficulties when the individ ual attempts to satisfy more complex problems in later life. "He may suffer alone, or inflict irremedial damage to society." Dividend Declared For State Bank An annual dividend of $4 per share was declared dur ing the stockholders annual meeting of the Rogue Valley State Bank recently, accord ing to a spokesman. Approximately $10,000 was transferred to surplus account from earnings. Stockholders reelected Leonard Bradshaw, Frank P. Farrell, Ralph E. Pierce, J. H. Stanley, Clarence H. Young and W. H. Young as directors. The directors, In turn, re elected W. H. Young, presi dent; Clarence H. Young, ex ecutive vice president and manager; Ralph E. Pierce, vice president; Leonard Brad shaw, vice president; Neal Curry, cashier; Ron E. Cordon and Gertrude McCorkle, as sistant cashiers. The executive vice presi dent reported a good year in 1957 and is looking forward to normal business conditions in Jackson county in 1958. BLUE CRUTCH SALES A total of $41.52 was real ized from "Blue Crutch Day" in Medford Saturday. The event, conducted by the Med ford 20-30 club, was the sell ing of lapel -fixtures in the shape of crutches with re ceipts to support the March of Dimes, according to MOD Treasurer Glen Rader. Klamath Termination Amendment Requested Washington (IB Inter ior Secretary Fred Seaton has asked Congress to amend the 1954 act calling for termina tion of Federal trusteeship over Klamath Indians in Ore gon by August, 1960. .'? The secretary, in a message to House Speaker Sam Ray burn, recommended that for ests on the Klamath Indian reservation be acquired by the Federal government, unless the forest can be sold to pri vate purchasers who would agree to follow sustained yield management. By studying the scales of a rainbow trout, scientists can tell how old the fish is; wheth er it lived in a stream or a lake, and how long; and, if the trout is a female, how often it has spawned.
