MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. 1 A Thursday, April 30, 19S9 j Retirement Pay For Teachers Gels Committee Vote Salem -!ITD- The Joint Ways and Means Committee today recommended retirement ben efits for 800 teachers and about 700 state employees who retired prior to enactment of the social security system. To bring financial relief to these retired workers will cost the state S128.700 a year and local school district S168,540 annually. The workers are said to be receiving S50 or less a month in income now. Continue for 17 Years The program would continue for about 17 years, according to Rep. George Annala. (D Hood River). Overall it would cost about $5 million dollars. "An attempt to refer the bill increasing basic school support from the present S105 per census child to S120 failed today because of a motion to adjourn the meeting. Sen. Jean Lewis (D-Portland) said she felt it should go to the Senate Tax Committee with out delay. Budget Approved j A bill allocating 820,000; from state highway funds for use by a legislative interim committee was reported out do pass.

(Sci ence Service-There are be tween 50 and 100 known vi ruses that cause cancer in animals. Yet, it has been only within the past two years that viruses 1 have been accepted by scien tists as a cause of cancerous diseases such as leukemia, Dr. Joseph W. Beard of Duke University told a group of re porters brought here by the American Cancer Society. There is a growing suspic ion among researchers that cancer of the blood, is con tagious. Dr. Howard B. Ander vont, National Cancer Insti tute, Bethesda, Md., said. The incidence of leukemia is con stantly rising, he pointed out. Not Old Theory The theory that viruses cause cancer is not a very old one. It has been established growths in rats, rabbits, ham sters, mice and chickens, Dr. Andervont reminded report ers. Recently researchers found that the same virus would cause tumors when in jected into mice, hamsters and rats. If scientists can find a method by which human tumors can be as succesfully injected into animals, re searchers will have available an exciting new tool-animals with human tumors that can then be experimented upon and observed. Dr. Andervont said success ful injection of a tumor producing virus into several different species of animals does not prove that viruses cause human cancer, but it would be surprising if humans were the exception. Reaction in Cell Dr. Harry Rubin of the University of California, Berkeley, said that a simple accumulation of viruses can cause a reaction in a cell that results in different types of cancers. Dr. Rubin's work re cently established that a virus from a cancerous growth in an animal, when placed in a culture, is capable of not only continued growth, but also of forming a cancerous lesion in the cultured growth itself. UO To Study Lalin America Washington - Sen. Wayne Morse, chairman of the Sub committee on American Re publics Affairs of the Com mittee on Foreign Relations, has announced that arrange ments have been concluded with the University of . Ore gon, subject to approval of the Committee on Rules and Administration, for a study of Problems of Economic De velopment in Latin America. This is one of a number of contracts which the Subcom mittee is making with uni versities and other research institutions as a part ' of its two-year study of U.S.-Latin American relations. The Ore gon study, which is due to be completed in December, will cover postwar economic growth in Latin America, hu man needs and resources, fac- Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Stork Slowing Down but Baby Food Business Picking Up The stork slowed down last year and the reason is one with which we'll not quibble. Fewer couples were married. Larger families continue pop ular with the older married set however, and the newest income tax deductions still approximated 4Vi million or 18 per cent over those who 1948. As we go to press, rumor has it that a new baby boom is in the making more mar riages it seems. The statisticians, as you know, apply a 10 year yard stick to practically every thing. Talking recently with Dan Gerber, president of the baby food company that bears his name, he said that ten years ago Gerber sales were 529,559,000; last year's sales passed the $120 million mark. Jumping backward only three decades, Gerber remind ed this foods editor that their baby foods business started with five strained items; not ed that there are 101 strained and junior foods and related items in their "line" today. Several fine companies are dedicated to the business of building better babies through nutrition in the modern man ner; each zooming along. New Items. Many of the packaged, canned and glassed baby and junior foods are west - coast grown. Among these is a new item, strained and junior cottage cheese with pineapple which is being packed in Oakland. Doctors have long been urging wider use of the readily-digested protein of cottage cheese in the diet of young children, Now it is here in combina tion with tiny bits of mellow Hawaiian pineapple. Another new item for we.st coast toddlers is a cooky which is good for dessert or snack. Protein-rich soy flour and nonfat milk solids go in to the cooky which gets a dash of B-vitamin in the ic ing. Tips on Feeding Baby From Can or Glass We are often asked about feeding baby from the con tainer in which the food comes. And it is a very logical question since we've been told so often that the can or glass jar is ideal for storing unused portions. Howe ver, here the problem is quite dif ferent. The real problem in form ing this habit is that it is car ried over to meals when baby takes only part of the food so that the balance of the con tainer contents then are stored. During the feeding, the spoon has gone back and forth from baby's mouth to the container and the food it self has been left open at room temperature for an in definite period. Reheating the contents of a can or jar of baby food is still another angle. When small portions of baby food are reheated, food values are bound to be lost. To sum up. When baby is eating only part of the strained food, spoon out a portion for his meal, then cover the contain er with foil, waxed paper or plastic film; refrigerate this extra baby food promptly in its own sterile container. You can safely follow this storage method in using the second and third portions on succeeding feedings. Never heat the entire contents of the can, feed the child from it, then store this unused baby food in the refrigerator. Milk Memo Milk contains proteins, minerals, vitamins, fats, sugar ... in fact, some of every thing known to be needed as food. It is our most nearly per fect food. A child needs three to four cups of milk a day; teen-agers need more for buoyant health. Many Children Prefer Fresh Raw Vegetables Never underestimate the child's ability to reach for the foods that are best for him (let's leave sweets out of this). If you're one of the many tors affecting economic de velopment, availability of ex ternal resources for assisting Latin American development, and the elements of a pro gram for economic develop ment. The work will be under taken by the University's In stitute of International Stud ies and Overseas Administra tion under the direction of Professor Raymond F. Mike-sell.

They said they also were consider ing withdrawing their support of the program under which -the farmers, known as "Braceros," are allowed legal entry under a U.S.-Mexican treaty. U. S. and Mexican officials are now discussing a renewal j of that treaty. Labor's viewpoint was stated by Frank Noakes, chairman of th U. S. section of a Mexican-American trade union committee. He called the negotiations a "farce" and said unless organized labor is consulted, not much can be done to protect the interests of American or Mexican farmers affected by the pro gram. About 4,000 Mexicans are brought into this county each year to take temporary farm jobs. They are used mainly in the Southwest. Veal and lamb liver may be pan-fried or broiled.
