Arthritis is Most Urgent Need Today of Arthritis Is Researchers The most urgent need in arthritis research today is re searchers, according to the Oregon Arthritis and Rheu matism Foundation, member agency of the United Medford Crusade. Besides the need for addi tional funds to support inves tigators currently studying rheumatic diseases, the Foun dation pointed 'out that suc cessful arhritis research de pends on attracting talented young scientists to join the fight against the crippler. Because arthritis is a com plicated disorder involving the body in many ways, it calls for the combined talents of pathologists, biochemists, immunologists, geneticists and other specialists to attack it successfully. Teams Solve Problem No one person isolated from his fellow scientists can solve the mysteries of arth ritis. However, teams of scien tists supported by many more professional workers can.

Emphasizing that only a few years ago there were practically no hinds for inves tigators of arthritic disorders, the Arthritis Foundation has devoted much of its effort to a research fellowship pro gram. Started soon Started soon after the Foun dation was organized in 1948, the program has paid off. Four out of five of ARF sup ported scientists have re mained in the field of arth ritis, most of them in a teach ing or research capacity. Last year the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation spent more than $650,000 on re search. Yet, this figure is small, the Foundation said, considering the number of victims of arthritis and relat ed rheumatic diseases in the United States-1 1,000,000 peo ple. Next year there will be 250.000 more sufferers. There are other problems to be solved in arthritis re search if sufferers are to see a cure. Scientists must find out a great deal more about the connective tissue, top target of arthritis. This framework of fibers holds the bones, or gans and muscles of the body together. Without it, the body would literally fall apart. It also performs a vital role in the lnflamation and repair of damaged tissue. It is the ef fect of rheumatoid arthritis on the connective tissue that produces the crippling of the disease. Complicates Work What complicates the In vestigator's work is that little is known about the connective tissue. The research scientist must start out from scratch and learn first how it be haves normally before he can discover how it reacts under rheumatic attack. Scientists attacking one of the most crippling forms of arthritis, rheumatoid arthri tis, have so far been denied that research tool so valuable against cancer and other diseases-studying the course of the disease in animals. Appar ently, rheumatoid arthritis is an affliction of many only, the Foundation noted. The wide spectrum of the more than 60 related rheu matic diseases which are lumped under the term arth ritis, with differing symptoms and responding to different treatments, is another obsta cle to arthritis research. It is likely that when cures are found, they will have to be found individually for differ ent varieties of arthritis. Much of what medical sci ence has discovered so far tells us what arthritis Is not. Doctors are now sure that it is not due to infected teeth, is unaffected by diet and is not directly caused by any known bacteria or germ. A "rheumatoid factor has been found . in the blood of arthritics which does not show up in normal blood. This sub stance may be a result or a cause of the disease. Scien tists are not sure, and much research is being devoted to finding where the "rheuma toid factor" comes from and what it does. Even now, the rheumatoid factor" enables scientists to diagnose the dis ease more accurately. Allergic Reaction Finding the "rheumatoid factor" has also led research teams to look for an allergic reaction as the cause of rheu matoid arthritis. The possi bility exists, and is being studied, that arthritics are al lergic to some substance in their own blood or tissues. The "rheumatoid factor" may be an anti-body produced by such an allergic reaction. While the problems of arth ritis research loom large, there has been progress to ward controlling certain of the rheumatic diseases in the last ten years. Even though medical science docs not know the basic cause and cure of chronic gout, for example, a sufferer can live with his disease with a minimum of discomfort thanks to the de velopment of new drugs. The danger of rheumatic fever has been materially reduced by the effectiveness of antibiotics against the streptococcal in fection which triggers the disease. even against the most crip pling form, rheumatoid arth ritis, some measure of control has been possible through the discovery and use of cortisone and its steroid derivatives. These hormone drugs can sup press the inflammation tem porarily, even though It flares up again if they are with drawn. Since these drugs can also have serious side effects, one problem of current research is to find a derivative which retains the anti-inflammatory ability without the undesira ble reactions. The needs of airitis re search are great-not only in new laboratories, new clinics and new endowed hospital beds where patients can be treated and doctors n learn more about the disease, but particularly in medical man power. Faced with a tremen dous area of study about which little is known and in which the knowledge of various medical scientists must be pooled to advance successfully-arthritis research needs wide support to ad vance to the final cure. With out public support the inves tigator cannot continue his work, the Foundation noted. A portion of all funds alio cated to the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation by the United Medford Crusade is used to support research, Astoria (UPD Kenneth L Hill, 42, head of Clatsop Dis tributing (Jo., Astoria, was killed Thursday in the wreck of his truck-trailer. Ashland Chamber Favors Measure Ashland - A "yes" vole was recommended recently by the Ashland Chamber of Com merce board of directors for Proposition 8 on the Novem ber ballot. The measure will provide bond funds for the construc tion of more dormitories . at state colleges and will cost the taxpayers nothing. All bonds issued under the plan would be paid by the students who live in the dormitories. "Here in Ashland where we have Southern Oregon col lege, we should be particular ly interested in this bill," Dr. William Sampson, SOC pro fessor, told the board.
