Cranberry Farce
-' "The great cranberry farce of 1959" is how
a friend of ours referred to the flurry over the
fact that traces of a weed-killer, known to be a
cause of cancer when applied in heavy doses to
rats, have been found in recent cranberry crops.
The flurry has had some destructive conse
quences. It has, and will, hurt growers of this
crop, many of whom operate small acreages in
Oregon, along the coast and in the Willamette
valley. .. ,
It has scared a few people. It has caused some
markets to remove the berries from their shelves.
'
TTHE cranbeny incident was almost a comedy
of errors, with one government agency going
in one direction, another in another, and the
growers, the public and the retailers being
caught in the middle.
If cranberries were a diet staple, eaten five
or six or seven times a week like bread or pota
toes and if the weed-killer were shown to be
an active cause of cancer. in humans, even in
minute amounts, then there might' be cause for
mild alarm.
As ifis, the chemical is not known as a human
cancer-cause. It has caused cancer in rats ONLY
when applied in heavy, repeated doses over the
life of the test animal. Its concentrations in the
"contaminated" cranberries were infinitesimal:
And who eats cranberries more than once "or
twice a year anyway?
"yilERE is mounting evidence that cigarettes
are a million times more potent as a cause of
cancer than the will-o'-the-wisp suspicions the
"contaminated" cranberries.
But cigarette sales continue to. climb.
There is mounting evidence that air pollu
tion, including automobile exhausts, is also a
leading cause of cancer. '
.- But what do we do, about it except start
slow-moving "surveys," wring our hands, and
deplore our cruel fate?
Doesn't it make this
look a little silly? :
v
DUT, if viewed in perspective, it may result in
"some good as well.
For instance, it does focus attention on the
fact that in recent years many chemicals have
been added to the foods we eat, not all of them
beneficial. Some, in fact,
may be harmful, or neither for no one knows.
- The increasing use of pesticides, insecticides,
herbicides and all the other . . . icides may not
inevitably lead to race homicide, but it certainly
is a cause for caution, and for a vastly increased
amount of research to prevent harmful chemicals
from being used indiscriminately un the foods
we eat. rfc. A.
Significant Project
While on the unpleasant subject of cancer,
it is interesting to note that the people of Jack
son county are being called upon to do something
about it beyond hand-wringing and gifts.
One thousand families are to be asked to
assist in a monumental,
signed to determine, if possible, what effect en
vironment and personal habits may have on
cancer incidence.
The families ; chosen will have at least one
member aged 45 years or more, and will be from
all parts of the county. ,
HPHIS county-wide effort "will be part of the state
. project, involving some 17,000 families, which
in turn is part of the national program in 22
states. Up to a million people will participate.
. . This tremendous "sample" of the population,
questioned carefully about living conditions, diet,
sleep, exercise, occupation, family relations, phy
sical complaints, personal health history, family
health history, and other pertinent 'matters, should
provide data never before available.
While the research project is under the spon
sorship of the American Cancer society, its im
portance is not limited to that disease, and can
give Valuable information about heart ailments,
tuberculosis, and others.
-'.. "
'THE program should not be much of a burden
on anyone, if all cooperate readily. Leaders
will enroll 100 researchers and each of these will
contact 10 families, a total of 1,000. '
The families will fill out the four-page ques
tionnaires which will be completely confidential.
That is the first phase of the program.
But it will .continue for six years, with the
volunteer researchers maintaining contact with
the cooperating families... Each two years they
will be asked to fill out brief supplementary
questionnaires covering illnesses. Causes of death
will be obtained and recorded.
TTHE initial questions will reveal such things as
occupational hazards related to cancer, famil
ial tendencies toward the disease, relationship of
cancer and other illnesses, childbirth factors in
cancer, relationships of diet, food and beverages
to the disease, and cancer's relation to cigarettes,
air pollution, living standards, and so on.
An analysis of these, in turn, is expected to
be helpful in yielding clues as to causes and con
tributing factors in the disease, to determination
of the earliest signs and symptoms, and, even
tually, to the prevention of cancer, by removing
responsible factors, plus' early detection to permit
early and successful treatment.
In our view, this is one of the most interesting
and significant projects in the cancer field ever
to be undertaken. E.A.

Ludicrous Contrast
T6 the Editor: I suppose I
should be more approving
than I am of the current warn
ings from the government on
the possible contamination of
cranberries with a probable
cancer-producing agent. For
several years, I have been
concerned about many things
that happen to our food sup
ply, to increase its saleability,
from the sprays on crops and
animals, to food colors,
bleaches in flour, preserva
tives and chemical flavorings
to say nothing of various de
naturing processes.
We should be grateful that
a start is being made-but it
seems to me that most people
who forego their cranberries
in the coming holiday season
are straining at gnats so
to speak., Those who are can-cer-prone-if
they smoke will
probably die of cancer of the
lungs several hundred years
before cancer : from cran
berries can lay them low.
All this concern about the
harmful effects, of a residue
on the bright red berries com
ing from a government that
has until recently sought to
justify the contamination of
our .atmosphere with- radi
activity seems to this cynic
just a wee bit ludicrous.
Our culture and society are
full of irrational aspects
which only make sense when
viewed from the point of view
of "Economic Determinism."
In other words, we act as
we do because in bur competi
tive society, the most power
ful motivation is personal
economic gain. Only a cooper
ative economic system can af
ford to place human welfare
on a high priority. Only then,
it will be practical to do unto
others as we would be done
by. ' . . ,

from time to time, I feel your
editorial page is perhaps the
most intelligent.

Looking forward to a boun

Look again, if you're jumpy
about cranberries.
When you cross cranberries
off the list, cross off that stuf
fing bread, too. It's treated
with preservatives which, the
food faddists say, louse up
your innards.
Cross off those mashed po
tatoes. They come from seed
that has been dipped in chem
icals which, in a different
form, are used to kill flies.
Cross off those sweet pota
toes. If their seed hasn't been
dipped in near - fly spray,
they've probably been irri
gated with polluted water,
Pumpkin pie is all right,

can- get away with it, or don't
happen to get caught.
After 13 years as a school
bus driver and raising a fam
ily of three children, I have
some knowledge of the think
ing habits of children in this
age group.
They take their punishment
with a variety , of attitudes,
and the things they do are
looked at with as many differ
ent views, Dotn oy aauiis ana
other children. Some see as
the only crime the fact that
they were caught. Others,
with ' the proper punishment,
can be made to see the light
and they get straightened out.
If they are let off with easy
punishment the first few tim
es, they are made a big shot in
the eyes of a certain percent
age of the other children.
In correcting children when
they get out of line, I find
that a punishment that really
jars them the first time has a
real and lasting effect.
Other boys that I have con
tinually had trouble with on
the school bus, but .who were
given very light correction by
those in authority, have gone
into larger things until finally
they have to serve time in a
state penitentiary. .
I believe the Ashland police
and paper are correct in what
they did, and I also believe it
would be the correct thing to
do in most cases. Letting the
names and addresses come
out, is feared by these chil
dren as much or more than a
jail sentence where their
name is withheld. I have
heard boys over 18 years old
refuse to let younger ones
bring liquor into their cars be
cause the older boys, if
caught, would have their
names printed in the newspa
per. They feel the disgrace of
the situation more when this
happens. Consequently, I be
lieve if the names were print
ed and the sentence the first
time is heavy enough to go on
record, it's going to make
them stop and think and to
see that society disapproves
and will not baby them and
shield them for acts that do
not deserve it.

To the Editor: Well, the

being in possession of tobacco.
So who sponsors a program on

Maybe the residents of Med

be a little more selective
about their sponsors for pro

ences. "
At any rate, let's be sure

By FRANK JENKINS '
Let's talk of big things to
day.
This MIGHT be one of
them:
PRESIDENT De Gaulle of
France, a strange and mys
tical character, announces
this morning that Mr. K will
visit France oh March 15 of
the upcoming new year. He
adds that France hopes Mr.
K will "remain until the end
of March if he so wishes."
For the first time he gives
Russia credit for tryingi to
ease tension in such troubled
spots of the world as Laos, In
dia and Central America.
He concludes: "The person
ality of Nikita Khrushchev,
OVERALL LEADER OF THE
RUSSIAN PEOPLES, has de
termined the new conditions."
HOW come?
Let's be realistic.
Mr. K scratched De Gaulle's
back by agreeing to come to
France, thus recognizing
France as still one of the
world's great and powerful
nations. That feeds Monsieur
De Gaulle's nationalistic ego.
So Monsieur De Gaulle pats
Mr. K on the back by recog
nizing him publicly as one
of the. world's GREAT
leaders.
SILLY?
No, it's sensible.
You win few friends with
harsh words. You win many
friends with mild words. If
the nations are to be able to
get along in a reasonable ap
proximation of peace, their
LEADERS must be able to
get along in a reasonable ap
proximation of peace.
VITHY does . Monsieur De
" Gaulle think Mr. K mieht
be in the mood for peaceful
co-existence?
He gave two reasons this
morning:
1. Russia, he said, has not
been .successful in winning
over the countries of Eastern
Europe. He added: "There is
NO doubt that if the popula
tions of these countries could
express themselves freely
they would reject communist
control with an enormous ma
jority." 2. The Soviet Union and the
West are now on EQUAL
terms of strength and Moscow
recognizes that another world
war would mean general anni
hilation. ,
QUESTION:
Can the rest of the
world get along with Rus
sia?
For an answer we can
turn to history. For a ouar-
ter of a millennium, the rest
of the world HAS got along
with Russia - in one ' way
and another.

Great Russia has been po

force in all public affairs. The
old total dominance of the
East is fast disappearing. The
second reason applies with
special force only to the
Democrats, though it indirect
ly affects the Republicans,
too.
This is that according to
information from half a dozen
Democratic pros of different
factions-Gov. Edmund Brown
will not ' really control the
California delegation to the
Democratic National Conven
tion. Normally a strong gov
ernor is undoubted boss, able
to deliver his whole delega
tion, to himself or to another,

The word here, however, is
that Brown cannot and will
not even try to do this. The
delegation , will be formally
pro-Brown for the . President
ial nomination as a favorite
son. But private agreements
already made have a contrary
meaning. The net of these
arrangements is that Cali

hanging there, like a stalk of
bananas before a band of hun

MOREOVER, the seizure by
any candidate of a king's
share of the California dele
gation would have effects go
ing far beyond that single
fact. New York, so long the
tail that wagged the dog at
Democratic conventions, is un
likely to have any such power
this time. The Tammany boss,
Carmine DeSapio, has been
badly cut up by the revolts
of the advanced Democratic
liberals in Manhattan.
Any notion "of his being'
able to hurl the whole New
York delegation about at will
is a vain notion. Anybody
who can get a big share of
California's delegation will
twice benefit this time by
the votes themselves and by
the psychological lift they
will give him in a convention
no longer dominated by the
single question: "Yes - but
what does New York want?
