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

and rains, variations in weath

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.

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

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

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.
