By LOUIS CASSELS Washington -&PD- Some of the "health foods" sold to Americans have strange ori gins, A few weeks ago, the U.S Food & Drug Administration lowered the boom on a West Coast firm that was selling candy treated with pollen as a "wonder , food" to repair worn - out tissues, relieve coughs and hay fever, and help you get a good night's sleep. The price: $9.95 for a box containing 18 small pieces of candy, The FDA said pollen is fine food tor Dees, but has no practical value for human nutrition.1 Bees seem' to fascinate food faddists. A perennial best-sell er, which has survived re peated FDA investigations, is royal jelly. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Boye received word of the death of George Colby Fem. 12 in Har per, Ore. His death occurred on his birthday, and followed a short illness. He is survived by his wi dow, Mrs. Etta Colby, Harper, where they were proprietors of the Little Valley Service station and store.

E. Landsberg of the . Bureau's office of climatology has found. Glaciers Retreating Concerning the north polar regions, he said, physical evi dence and temperature trends both indicate warming. Gla ciers are retreating in Alaska and the harbor of Spitsbergen is open twice as long each year as in 1912, for example. Dr. Landsberg said the warming trend, thought to amount to some two or three degrees each century, started about 1900. Cause of the warming is unknown, but one theory is that a blanket of carbon dioxide given off by the burning of coal and oil retards radiation of heat by the earth. Another suggested explanation is an increase in the sun's radiation. Turkish Premier Escapes Plane Crash London-flJPD-A Viscount air liner carrying Turkish Pre mier Adnan Menderes to the Cyprus peace conference here crash-landed in a slight fog five miles from Gatwick Air port south of London Tues day.

Put up in capsules, it is sold at fabulous prices to people who believe that if they eat the queen bee's food, they will be able to emulate her long life and extraordinary reproductive prowess. The fear of failing sexual powers is also exploited by peddlers of "Vitamin E" prep arations. The pitch here is that rats eat a lot of Vitamin E aiTd everyone knows how. fer vent their sex life is. Actually, Vitamin E has no aphrodisiac qualities. Besides, it is -so widely present in " ordinary foods that it is practically im possible for anyone to be defi cient in it. Not all of the : fad : foods come in pills and -capsules. Many people are convinced that there is something magi cal about yogurt and black strap molasses, and they strain both their taste buds and their pocketbooks to include these items in their daily diet. Same Value Reputable nutrition tists assert that: 1. Yogurt has the same nu tritional value as the milk from which it was made. 2. Blackstrap molasses is not a great deal more nutri tious than diluted sugar. Most so - called 'h e a 1 1 h foods" are harmless in them selves, becoming dangerous only when they are taken as a substitute for needed medi cal care. But the American Medical Association warns that some preparations sold as "reducing aids" contain drugs that are dangerous to health. Reducing aids are the re verse side of the food fad coin. They find a ready market be cause they are addressed to the only really serious nutri tional problem that. exists in America - 20 per cent of the population is overweight. Preparations Worthless A congressional committee last year conducted an investi gation of "medicated" candies, bulk producers, appetite de pressants, special cigarets, and other products sold with the claim that they make dieting easy or unnecessary. The committee concluded that such preparations are worthless - and that the best method to pare off excess fat is to ."push yourself away from the table." Legislature Would Reenact 1859 Deeds Salem-(UPD-The Oregon Leg islature will meet in Oregon City on March 18 to reenact some of the legislation passed by Oregon's first Legislature m 1859, if a resolution intro duced by Sens. Monroe Sweet- land (D-Milwaukie) Richard Groener (D-Milwaukie) and others is adopted. The resolution was intro duced at the request of the Oregon City Chamber of Com merce and, according to Clackamas county legislators, has the endorsement of Gov. Mark Hatfield. Oregon City was the site of Oregon's first Legislature. The resolution provides that the Legislature recess in the afternoon of March 18 and proceed to Oregon City where the commemorative session is scheduled to be held in the Thoro Gardiner Junior High school. Engineering Enrollment Drop Laid To Cutbacks Washington -(Science Serv ice)- An 11.6 per cent drop in freshman engineering enroll ment last fall has been blamed on reduced job offers made to last spring's graduating class, and on publicity surrounding layoff of engineers after cut backs in defense contracts. Three engineering and sci entific manpower experts also thought the drop may have been influenced to a lesser extent by recently tightened engineering school entrance requirements, and increased publicity of science. Sputnik Influence Seen In an effort to pin down the cause of an overall en gineering drop of 2.9 per cent reported by the American Society for Engineering Edu cation, Dr. B. R. Stanerson, president of the Scientific Manpower Commission here, Dr. Henry Armsby, engineer ing education specialist of the U.S. Office of Education and L. K. "Wheelock, executive secretary of the Engineering Manpower Commission in New York City also advanced the theory that Sputnik had influenced some youths to study science instead of en gineering. The bright spot in the pic ture is that graduate engineer ing enrollment is now at a record level with 27,456 en rolled last fall for master's de grees, an increase of 14.7 per cent over 1957, and 4,762 en rolled for doctor's degrees, a 14.3 per cent increase.
