' Written for UPI Salem - fUPD - 'As a forward looking state, Oregon has long sought maximum devel opment and use of its natural resources. In the timber Industry, for example, salvage of every part of every log is readily recognizable as the key to progress. At the State Correctional institution, Oregon's newest on the outskirts of Salem, the raw materials are human instead of natural but the guiding principle is similar. Rehabilitation is but anoth- B ' Mac fjv& iressstm A-FLAO FOR 1KB Mrs. Elizabeth Leighton, 86, of Madison, S-'D., holds the 50-star flag she crocheted for President Elsenhower's museum. She sent the flag to Sen. Karl Mundt (t$SD) who presented it Wednesday "with her compliments and good wishes." A life-long Republican, Mrs. Leighton said sRa worked on the flag at intervals for about a year before finishing it. The flag measures 22 by 32 inches, was cro- cllfcted with double stitch.

Squier entlm sisatically expresses the mod ern thinking. "The idea that people can change is a pro gressive philosophy," he says. Inmates Re-Educaled "Rehabilitation at OCI is the process by which we re educate the inmate to Again take his place as a construc tive member of society." It was not always so. Through the ages, societys quest for revenge motivated many penal policies. An "eya for an e.ye" was often liberal ly applied. But today in Oregon thf state is quick to justify the new emphasis on rehabilita tion on either humanitarian or economic grounds. After a diagnostic study of a new inmate, a program tail ored specially to him is de vised. The therapies of spirit ual guidance, discipline, edu cation and proper work habits come into play. Realistic Program Heavy emphasis is put on development of these work habits through a realistic work-training program. The dual function of the institution's vocational train ing school is to teach useful trades while cutting costs through self-help. Trades now being taught include cooking, baking, meat cutting, harbor ing, radio and television re pair and office machine and typewriter repair. The reshaping of human conduct and character. un doubtedly will never be an exact science. But the application of re venge in an institution is a whip of yesterday. 'ft' I I ' 4sp5&.

Kyle, Manager V2 T Stimulant Pill Dangers Revealed In FDA Report Washington- (Science Serv ice) Illegal sales of ampheta mine drugs, pep pills, to truck drivers and motorists are add ing to the dangers of highway travel. Reporting on efforts of the Food find Drug administration to stop nonprescription sales since its crackdown lest fall. Commissioner George P. Lap rick said here today that boot legging stimulant puis had become a highly profitable racket. The commissioner said: "When we consider1 that the annual production of amphe tamines is on the order of (19, 000 pounds enough to make approximately 5.6 billion 5 milligram tablets, or about 35 tablets for every man, woman, nd child in the country it seems likely that a large part of the market for these drugs is through illicit channels. Emphasizing that the FDA crackdown was not intended to interfere with the proper use of these drugs under ..iedi- cal supervision, Commissioner Larrick warned that unsuper vised use "can result in ex cessive nervous stimulation, loss of desire for sleep, gastro intestinal disturbances, im pairment of judgment, hallu cinations and mental derange ment. And the drugs may have adverse reactions in certain conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Since last fall when the FDA had more than 200 cases of illegal sales under investi gation, 8S criminal prosecu tions have been completed ana 31 Additional criminal prose cutions have noen institutea.
