75 Persons Attend
Annua I YMCA Meet
At the annual YMCA meet
ing of the membership last
week about 75 adult members
and their families heard a re
port of the year's activities
from YMCA President J. D.
Pierce.
Highlighted in the report
were the advances being made
in completing the Y building,
with acoustical treatment and
ventilation for the swimming
pool.
It was pointed out that this
is being done with funds from
the John R. Tomlin estate,
but that work is held up tem
porarily because the low con
tract bid exceeded the amount
in the fund by about $1000.
Other plans for the future
include completion of an
outdoor playing field on
property behind the YMCA,
Rheumatic Fever
Attack Launched
A broad attack on rheu
matic fever under the guid
ance of three Oregon organ
izations has been launched
through a program of pro
viding low-cost penicillin, ac
cording to Floyd H. Hart Jr.,
Medford, Jackson county
Heart Fund chairman.
The three sponsoring groups
are the Oregon State Phar
maeceutical association, the
Oregon State Medical Society,
and the Oregon Heart asso
ciation. Dr. John W. Buss
man, Portland, has been nam
ed chairman of the Oregon
Rheumatic Fever Control
committee, Hart said.
The low-cost penicillin will
be provided to persons who
have had rheumatic fever to
prevent attacks of the disease,
only on prescription from the
patient's personal physician,
Dr. Bussman said. It is de
signed to provide medication
for patients unable to pay
regular retail prices.
Hart pointed out that the
low-cost penicillin program
was made possible by the re
sponse to the Heart Fund ap
peal for support. The 1960
campaign will start Feb. 1
and continue throughout the
month.

Convenience Foods
Topic at Meeting
Dr. H. W. Schultz of the
department of food and dairy
technology, Oregon State col
lege, discussed built-in maid
service in the form of con-
I venience foods at a meeting
this week.
Dr. Schultz is interviewing
food processors in Oregon to
determine how they arrive at
new ideas for merchandising
their products.
Convenience foods such as
television dinners, frozen pies
and dehydrated potatoes are
produced not to please the
manufacturer, but actually on
order from the consumer, al
though the consumer is not
aware of this, he said.
Dr. Schultz expressed the
opinion that partially prepar
ed foods will continue to in
crease in quantity since these
foods give the housewife time
for outside work or for lei
sure. They also tend to fit the
kitchen storage of modern
homes better than bulky
foods, he noted.
