Physically Handicapped

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-

Mostly Heart Cases
Mrs. Judson said the kitchen
actually grew from experi
ments by the American Heart
association, which wanted to
trim the work load of a car
diac patient.
'An institute manual said
that of the 10 million handi
capped, 4 million are cardio
vascular cases.
Mrs. Judson, a native of
Gilbertsville, N. Y., is a grad
uate of the Cornell university

and did graduate work in
physical therapy and rehabili
tation at Ohio State Univer-
She became interested in re

homemaker after reading an
article on the need for it -an

Food Facts
Bulletin
Published
Corvallis - Build good food
habits through well-balanced
meaIs gnd you-n neyer be
bothered by claims from food
faddists according to a new
bulletin published by Oregon
State college.
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

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. '
Potpourri bought a pair of
which have the "new" little
like those on the White kid slippers which we wore as a
high school graduate. Those slippers had narrow toes, too,
toes so long and so narrow each had to be stuffed with a
wad of springy, wool fiber to help them retain their shape.
