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

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

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."

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

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

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

The secretary, in a message
