More cooling scientific news
Is that the term, "sun stroke,"
is obsolete and some scien
tists want to abolish it. The
term is inaccurate, that's what
It-'. w
is wrong with it. It isn't the
I sun which strikes the victims
down, but the failure of their
own "heat regulating" chem
istry. It probably wasn't too
good in the first place.
All this stems from planned
revisions of the international
statistical classification of the
World Health Organization.
Its main idea is for all medi
cal men of all countries to
classify all bodily disorders in
the same way. Then they can
all be given code numbers
which will have the same
meanings everywhere.
Abolish Number '
The code number for "sun
stroke" now is N 981.1. The
proposal is to abolish the num
ber and rely entirely on the
number for "heat stroke" N
981.0 which is something that
be sure...

can be set off by any intense,
sustained heat, such as that
of a furnace or the deep in
terior of a coal mine.
There now is no code num
ber for what the revisers have
classified as "chronic heat
neurotic reaction," and they
would like for it to have one.
It is caused by "prolonged ex
posure to a hot environment,"
they said. The symptoms are
"loss of energy, initiative, in
terest; difficulty in concen
trating, working and sleeping;
complaints of dizziness,
"blackouts," loss of weight
and appetite; irritability, bad
temper, depression." There
may or may not be something
wrong with them physically,
but there is with their emo
tions and nerves.
But on the whole matter of
heat and the human body,
there is much medical confu
sion, the revisers said, and
they suggested reducing a
hodge - podge of descriptive
terms, many of which do not
describe, to a mere 14. These
would be grouped into gener
al categories, such ast
Failure .or impairment of
the bodily heat regulating
"mechanism,"- which by open
ing and, closing pores, by wid

sels, by increased or decreased
blood 'Circulation, and by
other means, keeps the in
terior body temperature the
same no matter how hot or
cold it is outside. Complete
failure of this "mechanism" is
a grave occurrence; it is often
fatal.
Salt Needed t -
"Salt deficiency in a hot en
vironment." This causes a va
riety of bodily disturbances,
mainly muscular cramps.
Much sweating takes body
salt with it. More salt in the
diet corrects that.
Various disturbances of the
sweat glands themselves. Per
haps the chemical thermostats
are messed up and the glands
don't respond. Maybe the
channels are blocked and
though they want to produce
sweat, the sweat doesn't get
out. This leads to summer dis-
Medford High Graduate Tells of
Hitch-Hiking Around World
(Editor's note: Jeff Wil-
liams, a 1956 graduate of
Medford High school and
son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
V. Williams, 1317 Queen
Anne ave., is on a hitch
hiking trip around the
world. Printed below is a
letter from him to the Mail
Tribune, written July 10 in
Iran. Young Williams has
attended the University of
Oregon for IV2 years, and
from January to April was
a member of the ski patrol
at Sun Valley, after which
he left on his trip. His fam
ily also includes ' a sister,
Lynne. a 1958 MHS gradu
ate, and a brother, Robert.

pital in San Francisco. His
father is superintendent of
Crater Lake National park.)
By JEFF WILLIAMS
I am writing this from a
a small bus station in the
northern Iranian city of Mes
hed. Being so close to the
Russian border exerts certain
restrictions, for instance, be
fore my friend could invite
me to his house he must first
have permission from the pol
lice. A short resume of my trip
seems in order. From San
San Francisco, I caught a ride
across the States and sailed
from New York on May 9,
bound for England. On May
17 I landed in South hamp
ton and was in London that
evening. After three days in
that most interesting city, I
began hitch-hiking to Scotland
and then over to Ireland in a
pouring rain.
Trouble with Police
At the border of Northern
Ireland and Eire I had a bit
of trouble wth the Northern
Ireland polish. There is still
active rebel warfare being
waged and the police are very
wary. When I took a picture
of the barricaded police sta
tion, I was immediately sur
rounded by police with Sten
guns, who wanted to know
if I was a rebel reconnaissance
man. After a thorough search,
we were released, only to
go through the same process
farther down the road. Those
Sten guns certainly keep your
movements slow and easy.
On my way again, downJ
through Ireland, across to
Wales, and back to London.
From there I crossed to Diep
pe, France, and hitched into
Paris. There I expected to see
police bristling with weapons,
but it was far from the
case. After Paris I went to
Brussels for the, World's Fair.
What an absolutely tre
mendous place! I walked for
a day and a half and still saw
comforts of a number of
things, such as prickly heat
and similar skin troubles. In
cidentally, medical science de
plores efforts to prevent
sweating. Sweat whether hon
est or not is healthful. -
The proposed revisions,
worked out by the British
Medical Research Council, are
being considered by co-operating
groups here and in all oth
er countries.
less than half of it. And the
American Pavilion was every
bit as wonderful as I expect
ed it to be. In there is really
put across our way of life,
through television shorts and
the displays, and the guides
are so friendly. It is quite a
contrast to the cold machines
and cold reception of the Rus
sian pavilion.
From there up to Amster
dam and then across to Ham
burg, Germany. There I had
a most delightful stay with
a free lance photographer I
met on the ship from America.
Then down through the Black
Forest area and into Switzer
land. Generosity Shown
All my travelling is by
hitch-hiking and it presents
the opportunity to meet and
befriend people from all
walks of life. You can't realize
the generosity shown to me
by them. Never a day goes
by that someone doesn't buy
me a meal. In northern Italy
I was treated for two days by
some photographers. In Rome
I was treated for two days
by a doctor and his wife. In
central Italy a poor fanner
invited me to dinner. All
through Greece and Turkey
people were constantly invit
ing me for a bite to eat.
In Eastern Turkey the coun
try becomes very remote, and
rides extremely difficult. But
the luck of the Irish was still
with me, and I got a ride with
a German all the way to
Tehran, Iran. It took us nine
hours to get through customs
at the Turkish-Iranian border,
and it was 120 degrees in the
shade.

Bridges To Attend
Teamsters Meeting
San Francisco (UPD Harry
Bridges' International Long
shoremen's and Warehouse
men's Union has agreed to at
tend a "common policy" meet
ing with the Teamsters Union
and the East Coast Interna
tional Longshoremen's Asso
ciation. The meeting will be held
Aug. 14 in Washington.
Bridges said Wednesday he
would take some of his
union's top leaders to the ses
sion with him.
James R. Hoffa, Teamsters
president, recently announced
plans to link all transporta
tion workers in a combine to
settle union disputes and pro
mote collective bargaining ef
forts. The meeting next month
was announced as a move "to
reach common policy on new
techniques in the shipping
industry."
All three of the . unions
have been expelled from the
AFL-CIO, the ILWU for Com
munist leanings, the Team
