2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ore., Physically Handicapped Aided by Research Center By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -OT- In a com bination office kitchen at the famous Bellvue Medical Center, one woman is work ing to make life easier for some 1,0 million of her sisters. The woman is Mrs. Julia S. Judson, consultant in home making at the Institute of Physical Medicine and Reha bilitation. The 10 million women are the physically han dicapped in this country-victims of cardiovascular disease, arthritis, hemiplegia, or some other orthopedic disabilities. "For some of the handi capped, the pure mechanics of living are hard to handle," said Mrs. Judson, a small, blonde woman. '"Yet men and women can do amazing things despite disabilities. We h'ave totted up 120 'little things' that many handicapped wom en have learned to do . . . things most of us take for granted. "Imagine, for instance, what's involved for a woman who does not have full use of her arms to brush her teeth, drive a car, apply lip stick " Hlp In The Kitchen Mrs. Judson is advisor on the first project aimed at giv the technical counseling to the homemaker. But since Bellvue opened its center in 1950, some 40 other such cen ters have been started in all parts of the country. Part of the training the handicapped homemaker gets is in. work simplification in the kitchen, and some of the methods adopted at the insti tute would be helpful in any woman's kitchen. The kitchen is planned for the sit-down worker often . the handicapped housewife gets around by wheelchair. Counter space is lower than average, the sink is low . enough for her to wash dishes : while sitting. Utensils and 'foods are stored in open shelves and at lower than us- if r 't ' - '4 - 1 Us.

'An institute manual said that of the 10 million handi capped, 4 million are cardio vascular cases. Mrs. Judson, a native of Gilbertsville, N.

Titled, "Food Facts Versus Fads," the bulletin exposes certain misleading, but popu lar, ideas people have about food. '"There is no field of knowl edge in which there are so many self-appointed advisors as in health and food cures," according to the publication. Doctors, nutritionists and other experts answer some of the most frequently asked questions about sweeteners, cereals and breads, milk and dairy foods, meats and poul try, and vegetables and fruit in the bulletin. A miscellane ous section contains informa tion about vitamins, food ad ditives, . and cooking equip ment. , Some of the questions in clude: Are frozen vegetables better than canned ones? When cooked and served properly, there is very little difference in vitamin content of the two. Are antibiotic dips harmful when used to increase shelf life of dressed poultry? No, cooking destroys the antibi otic activity. Does adding iodine to table salt improve health? Yes, it helps reduce simple goiter in areas where water and soil are low in iodine. According to OSC's nutri tionist, Ruth Klippstein. milk, meat, vegetables - fruit and breads - cereal, provide the best framework for well -rounded, appetite satisfying and economical meals. The bulletin describes how daily food plans can' be built on each of these' food groups. Copies Of "Food Fad Versus Facts' are available from rnnntv extehsion offices or the college bulletin clerk.

IPaDitpojiraii'ffn Potpourri recently received a note from Mrs. Edward Leach chiding us for calling- Mt. McLoughlin by the name of Mt. Pitt. Mrs. Leach is correct the legislature did offic ially give the mountain that name, but we hazard the guess that at least half the residents of this area say Pitt, instead of McLoughlin, and somehow or the other, we've fallen into the same habit. Mrs. Leach suggested that we call either Miss Claire or Miss Mary Hanley for Vthe story" of the mountain, but it was a lot easier to just read about it in Lewis McArthur s book, which we've found so useful throughout the years. McArthur says that the mountain was called McLoughlin on a map issued in 1838, and that later it was commonly called Mount Pitt, for Pit or Pitt river, which was named for the pits dug by Indians to trap game. Some, including Peter Skene Ogden, early day settler in Oregon, spelled it Pitts, and others who called it by the other name, spelled the name McLaughlin. Some early settlers in the Rogue valley called it Snowy Butte or Big Butte, and the town near-by was thus named Butte Falls. One man, Hall J. Kelley, made an effort to have the mountain named after John Quincy Adams. McArthur concludes that the name Mount Pitt came- into common use about 1864 due to George H. Belden, a civil engineer in the employ of the United States surveyor general of Ore gon. Klamath Indians called the mountain M'laiksini Yaina, or mountain with steep sides. The name Mount McLoughlin was restored by the legislature in 1905 in honor of Dr. John McLoughlin, "who as chief factor of the Hudson's Bay company at Fort Vancouver, in 1824-46 possessed al most autocratic power in affairs in the Oregon country up to the time of the provisional government, and has there fore been called the first governor of Oregon," McArthur says in his book. What McArthur did for Oregon with his "Oregon Geo graphic Names" a man by the name of George R. Stewart has done for the United States in a revised and enlarged edition of "Names on the Land." It's a fascinating story, this business of hovg towns, rivers, mountains and lakes came by their names. Some Were chosen by the Congress or state legislatures, some were voted in toWn meetings, some Were given by explorers and others were named by chance. Stewart relates in his book how a Texas storekeeper saw a brand name on a baking powder label and named a town Bebe." Some times names are changed, and one of the amusing stories about such changes is how the inhabi tants of Mole Hill, West Va., changed the name of the town into Mountain. Stewart traces the name Oregon back to a careless French map maker who made it appear that there was a river called the "Ouaricon." "" McArthur, of course, devotes considerable space in his book to the origin of Oregon, and quotes extensively from the editorials of the late Harvey W. Scott, editor of the Oregonian. McArthur writes that Jonathan Carver may have appropriated the name, but not the spelling, from a Major Robert Rogers, English army officer who was com mandant at the frontier post at Mackinac during the time Of Carver's journey into the upper valley of the Mississippi. Major Rogers used the form "Ouragon" Or "Ourigan" in a petition or proposal for an exploring expedition into the country west of the Great Lakes in London in 1765. Carver is the first person to have 'used the form "Oregon" in re ferring to the River of the West. . -Editor Scott noted in his writings that the name "Ore gon" came very slowly into known to both Vancouver entering the river as an explorer, called it not Oregon, but Columbia, for his ship. The name was not used by Lewis and Clark in their report of their travels, nor was it used by Astor in a petition to Congress in 1812 asking for na tional assistance in his efforts to establish trade in the area, and Congress did not use the name in the act which was passed in response to his petition, according to Scott and McArthur. Scott further noted, that the poet, Bryant, had come upon the word ''Oregon" in Carver's writings and added "The word suited the sonorous movement and Solemn ma jesty of his verse and he embalmed it in "Thanatopsis" pub lished in 1817." Scott maintained that there was no basis for the claim that the name of our state originated from the herb "oregano" or the Spanish name for the plant "marjoram." Others conjected that it was derived from the Spanish word "oreja" meaning ear, supposing that the Span iards noted the big ears of the native Indians and named the country from that circumstance. Scott also dismissed this, and decided that the word originated from French explora tion of the continent. He noted ers, who preceded the English and had pressed on to the foot Of the Rocky mountains, were much interested in tales of the west and of the great Western sea. "Of this sea they possessed Spanish charts and tives the word Aragon as a homonym of Spain, when Carver visited the upper Mississippi country in 1767-68, he made inquiries about the country to the west, the western river and sea and the word Oregon." Scott concluded that the word originated in the Mississippi valley and not on the Pacific coast.
