;illitis Can Trigger Kidney Disease in Child Philadelphia - (Science Service)- Either tonsillitis or impetigo can trigger an In flammatory disease of the kidneys in children, a Mem phis pediatrician said here today. The disease, acute nephri tis, is caused by sensitization to products certain types of streptococci produce. Dr. James G. Hughes told family doctors attending the Ameri can Academy of General Prac tice meeting here. Common Symptoms The most common symp toms are blood in the urine and puffy swelling of the face and other parts of the body. The child has a high fever, poor appetite and usually a higher blood pressure than normal. The University of Tennes see professor said three major complications can result. The central nervous system can be affected, making the child drowsy, lethargic, un conscious or convulsive. There can also be a temporary dis turbance in vision, he said. Other possible disturbances include heart trouble, with shortness of breath, coughing, swelling of the liver and low er parts of the body, and uremia, the complete cessa tion of kidney functions and failure to form urine to re move body waste products. Infection May Be Present In treating the child with acute nephritis, the physician must remember that the origi nal strep infection may still be present. If a throat culture shows streptococci, Dr. Hughes advised giving the child a shot of penicillin to kill the organisms and to keep the infection from spreading to other persons. Until the acute phase of nephritis has passed, the child should be kept in bed. There Is usually no need to restrict the child's diet or fluid intake, he said. However, if the child is not forming enough urine, it is important not to over load him with fluids and to avoid high intakes of nitro genous and potassium-containing foods that would increase the biochemical disturbances.

Ui3pfi -VBLIND ESKIMO"" Grafts Between UnrelatedAnimals Said Successful Boston -(Science Service) Body organs and tissues have been successfully transplanted from one unrelated animal to another, it was reported here. Dr. P. S. Russell of the Massachusetts General Hos pital has grafted hormone producing glands, skin and other tissues between non-related mice strains and had the grafts persist and function for long periods of time. ; This is significant because' animals and humans are im mune to tissues from an out side source. Except in identi cal twins, tissue cannot be transplanted from one in dividual to another. Anti bodies form against the transplant and destroy it. Spleen Cells Injected In his American Cancer So ciety - supported experiments, Dr. Hussell employed tecn niques developed by Dr. P. B. Medawar of the University of London, who had previously found that if he injected a newborn animal with spleen cells from another adult ani mal, the recipient from then on could not form antibodies against any subsequent graft from the donor. - Dr. Russell "primed" mice for future transplants by In jecting them within a day after their birth with spleen cells from future donors. The "tolerant" mice had their ad renal glands removed and were then grafted with the adrenals of the animals that months earlier had supplied the immunity destroying spleen cells. Thfe jhew hosts were found to remain in good health. Had the grafts not taken, the animals would have died of shock, fatigue and hunger. 1. Skin Grafted Dr. Russell also grafted skin successfully to tolerant animals and found that he could end an animal's toler ance to grafts by injecting the animals with antibodies against the original spleen cells with which it was in jected. At this time, he said, the Band Boosters Net $331 at Smorgasbord r Ashland - A total of $331 was netted by Ashland High School Band Boosters at a smorgasbord dinner April 7, Mrs. R. G. Tabor, president, has reported. The amount, plus other re ceipts from Booster activities, brings to $1,507 the total raised by the group to send the Ashland band to the Port land Rose Festival in June. Mrs. Tabor reported that the Ashland Soroptimists club contributed $25 to the fund and only $293 remains to be collected to reach the goal of $1,800. The 70-member Ashland band is the only southern Ore gon band entered in the Rose Crescent City Man Arrested in Ashland Ashland - City police Tues day night arrested Chauncy L. Barnes, 22, after receiving information from Crescent City, Calif., stating that Barnes was wanted there on a warrant charging him with grand theft. Barnes, who was staying with friends on B st. in Ash land, was taken into custody at 7 p.m. and later transferred to the Jackson county jail. Bail is $1,500. Ashland police said Barnes is charged with stealing mis cellaneous items, including an electric drill. findings appear to have only theoretical Implications for humans. It is conceivable, for instance, that a newborn baby might be injeoted with spleen cells from its father or moth er. That baby could then be grafted with an organ or tis sue from the donor parent. This could be desirable for children who might someday need a graft because of bums or organ disease. Because of the impossibility of foresee ing at birth the need of trans plants later in life, however, it is unlikely that spleen transplants will be given new born babies in the near future. Festival parade, she said Band members and the Booster club will be in Med ford for the pear festival April 23. The band will play street concerts at noon and the Boosters and majorettes will have charge of concessions in Hawthorne park from 1 to 5 p.m Members of the band also will march in the local parade and their queen and king can didates are competing in the festival contest While in Medford, Boosters will sell memberships in the club by calling on local mer chants. Mrs. Tabor explained that club members will not disturb employees on the job, but will talk only to employ ers in the hope that- Booster memberships will be pur chased for employees. Membership in the group entitles the owner to attend all Ashland band concerts, while also helping send the band to the Rose Festival. Heavy Water Can Be Concentrated . Cleveland - (Science Serv ice) - Heavy water, used as moderator in some nuclear reactors, may be concentrated in natural water by certain detergents. E. Griffin Shay of the At lantic Refining Co., Philadel phia, told the American Chem ical society meeting here that these detergents become less soluble in water at higher temperatures, and reach a point on heating at which they become turbid. This point was, he found, at a lower temperature in heavy water (deuterium oxide) than in or dinary water. By adding special deter gents to water containing deu terium oxide, then heating it, a precipitate may be obtained. The upper layer is found to be richer In deuterium oxide than was the original starting solution. Detergents causing this effect are of the non ionic, ethylene oxide type.

Stevenson, pres ident, has announced. As of Monday, the last offi cial day for registration, 648 boys and 453 girls had en rolled, representing a 13.4 in crease over spring term 1959. Our continuing growth seems indicative of the confi dence the residents of south ern Oregon have placed in their regional college," Dr. Stevenson said. "It represents the trend of growth all over the Oregon state system of higher education, a trend which will continue through 1970 and beyond." "Upsurging enrollment will constantly demand develop ment of our college plant," he continued, "calling for more and more classroom fa cilities. In addition, more self liquidating buildings, such as dormitories and recreational facilities, which are paid for by student use, will be de manded. All of these will be possible only through the sup port of the citizens of Ore gon." Effective Ways One of the most effective ways this program is being carried out is through the or ganization of citizen groups all over the state in support of a vital bonding issue to come before the voters this November, the president re ported. Committees function ing on behalf of "Colleges for Oregon's Future" are work ing to help pass the "State Bonds for Higher Education Facilities" issue on the ballot.

The grade school librarians have worked hard making at tractive displays for the li brary honoring "National Li- Lbrary Week." Our parents have been asked to visit the school library during the week. t Remodeling of our main building still is going on. Fir resistant material has been Installed In the cafeteria and basement ceilings and a new coat of paint is being sup plied, which makes our build ing much more cheerful and attractive. Mrs. Ida McArthur's fourth grade class has been studying about electric power in science and has been making spring flowers in art. Mrs. Pearl rarnsworth's class is studying about Viking ships and about the adven tures of the Vikings. Mrs. Rebecca Long's second grade helped out with the bul letin board In the hallway. The theme used is "spring time." We are all trying to improve our cursive writing. The two third grade class es saw an Interesting film about the Oregon Centennial Wagon from Missouri to Ore gon. We found out how our forefathers came to Oregon. Mrs. Maude Hardy's class has been studying about the moon. We have seen several interesting films and we are reading books about the moon. Mrs. Lily Roblson's first grade class saw a beautiful tiger, swallow tail butterfly emerge from a cocoon. The cocoon had been in a Jar In the room since early last fall. Mn. Marilyn Blomqulst's first graders made planter boxes and planted flower seeds so they can watch and study the plants as they grow. In Miss Sally Dever's sec ond grade class we are learn ing how houses are built, what materials are used to build our houses and who our builders are.
