(UPI Telephoto) Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Weather Variations Reviewed in New OSC Publication Corvallis - Oregon's weath er contributes a "great deal to both the wealth and talk of the state," but so-called normal weather here is most ly a mathematical fiction, a new Oregon State college booklet on "The Oregon Weather" points out. The booklet was published rs part of a special science series and it takes Oregon weather apart In careful de tail for young and old read ers alike - what makes the weather here, summer drought, clouds and log, cold and rains, variations in weath er, amateur forecasting, Study Physician Urges of IB as Cancer Treatment Baltimore, Md (Science ServiceMt may be that tuber culosis could be used as a "treatment" for cancer. No one is making definite state ments, but Dr. Louis Pelner of Swedish Hospital In Brook lyn, N.Y., believes the possi bilities of using artificially in- d u c e d bacterial Infections such as tuberculosis should be studied. The idea of using one dis ease to fight another is not new. The fever of malaria has been used to burn up syphilis parasites. In 1891, Dr. W. B. Coley tried to produce erysipelas. an infection with Strepto coccus pyogenes, in ten pa tients with inoperable cancer, But the procedure was diffi cult and dangerous so he be gan to experiment with mix cd bacterial toxins. Patients are still alive who Jiave recovered from inoper able sarcomas after having been treated with a toxin mix ture by Dr. Coley, Dr. Pelner asserted here in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. Improvement Shown In 1916, Dr. W. M. Dabney gave tuberculin to seven can cer patients. One showed "re- m a r k a b 1 e ' improvement which continued after three months of tuberculin therapy, and another showed "unex pected improvement." "Unfortunately," Dr. Pel ner states, "no further fol low-up was undertaken, so the final outcome of this form of therapy is unknown. Another report in the Jour nal states that more new cases of pulmonary tuberculo sis are now being found in persons past 50 than in any other age group. Dr. Harry B. Grcenberg, in structor In medicine at Tu- Jane University, New Orleans, La., says active tuberculosis in the aged often is obscured by other old-age symptoms, such as chronic bronchitis or cardiovascular disease. Often It is discovered only when a younger member of the fam ily gets the disease, and a search Is made for the source. Resistance to TB is de creased In old age; therefore, the death rate Is higher. Be cause the disease runs a mild er, less explosive course In the elderly, it may be over looked as the cause of death, which may be attributed in stead to degenerative d Il ia it. t , weather records and meteor ological services. Author is Dr. Fred W. Deck er, associate professor of physics and chairman of the atmospheric sciench branch in OSC Science Research In stitute. Hottest days on record in Oregon came in 1898 when the temperature soared to 119 at Pendleton and Prineville, the booklet notes. Lowest was 54 below in 1933 at Ukiah and Seneca. ValseU holds the record for most precipitation in a year - 168.88 inches in 1937. EndUsi Variety But these highs and lows are only the extremes of "de parture from normal" that are (the usual. Decker explains. I Oregon's weather is "change able" most of the year, he aaus, wun an enuiess vurieiy of combinations of weather. The extremes occur much less often on the coast than inland, he adds, because of the modifying effects of the ocean. For instance, Astoria, Pilot Rock and Huntington have about the same average an nual temperature, 51 to 52 degress. However, Astoria re cords an average peak aiter noon temperature in July of 69, compared to 91 at Pilot Rock and 94 at Huntington In January. Astoria has aver age early morning minimum temperatures of 36, compared to 23 at Pilot Rock and 19 at Huntington. And although the growing season free of killing frost averages 195 days at Corval lis, there were 275 days free of frost in 1940 but only 132 in 1919, weather records re veal. What Makes Weather What makes Oregon's weather? In summer, Oregon experiences drought as dry air descends from high levels to the surface over the Pa cific and coast states. How ever, in winter, the mature storms of the Pacific repeat edly lash across the state, often followed by outbreaks of cold, crisp air. from the Canadian Rockies. Quiet periods of high pres sure in the fall and winter may bring prolonged valley fogs when air comes from the ocean and stagnates in t h e vallev.

Midsummer Cantaloupes Bring Fin Flavor M i d summer cantaloupes are pouring into local mar kets and this bounty will con tinue throughout August. The San Joaquin districts of Cali fornia supply about 75 per cent of the nation's canta loupes during the peak months of July and August. Their full field-fresh flavor is hand picked when they are vine-ripe. Meat is deep apri cot color, often called "pink. Texture is firm yet tender. They're notably in calorics. The cantaloupe is a versa tile fruit for enjoyment morn ing, noon and far into the night. Despite anything we say, most of them will be en joyed "straight" on the half shell or quarter moon with salt, salt and pepper, lemon or lime wedges, according to individual preference. We won't even argue the point of chilled versus room tem perature. Each has its advo cates. Other favored ways include cantaloupe in salads, centered with ice cream or cottage cheese, filled with other fruits and berries.

Stason of Delight In Sweet Cherries Sweet, juicy, large, meaty, luscious, wonderful - these are some of the appropriate adjectives that come to mind when we think of those cher ries piled high in local store displays. Our coast is the country's leading area for growing sweet cherries which have such a rcgretably short sea- son. Easterners grow the sour j cherries which come along ! later. On the market now and j through August, more than a third of the crop comes to market in July. Sweet cherries are superb for eating out-of-hand. They go into salads, pies, tarts, cob blers, cakes, Ice cream, pud dings. They're popular for jams, preserves. Highly per ishable, sweet cherries should be kept under refrigeration, served "as is" cold or used very soon. " " i Sweet Cherry Jam This popular swectstuff takes four cups (two pounds) prepared fruit, one-fourth cup lemon juice, seven cups (three pounds) sugar , and a bottle of liquid pectin which insures successful jamming. Makes about ll six ounce glasses. To Prepar Fruit. Stem and pit two pounds fully ripe cherries. Use a fresh stub pen point in holder for pitting cherries if you ve no cherry pitter handy. Chop cherries fine; measure four cups into large saucepan; add one-quarter cup lemon juice. To Make Jam. Add seven cups sugar to fruit in sauce pan and mix well. Place over high heat; bring to full rolling boil and boil hard one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and at once stir in one bottle liquid pectin. Stir and skim by turns for five minutes to cool slightly, to prevent floating fruit. Ladle quickly into sterilized glasses. Paraffin at once. , Jam Memo. If you like stronger cherry flavor, add one-quarter teaspoon almond extract before ladling Into glasses. If you want to use this recipe later for sour cher ries, simply omit lemon juice. If you prefer conserve to jam, simply add VA cups seeded cut up raisins andor cup chopped almonds.
