TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6. 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. Small Worlds Arpund Us By Lynn M. Watkins Horseradish! Like It? Here's Its History He had acquired the habit when he was a boy, and prac ticed it right up until the time he inadvertently took a large spoonful of what he assumed was mashed potato, which wasn't. The one mouthful cured him of eating hard foods with a spoon. It looked like mash ed potato; creamy white and just a little fluffy. The dish was sitting right in front of his plate. Being habitually a gulper instead of a dainty eat er, he scooped up a big spoon ful and popped it into his mouth. It was almost like an ex plosion an explosion with an aftermath, for the tears ran from his eyes. He choked, al most made it as he attempted to swallow, and then nearly strangled. He did not breathe normally for nearly an hour. What he had thought was mashed potato was newly dug, freshly ground horseradish. The lesson the poor dope learned that day stuck with him. He stopped eating with a spoon and became almost dainty in his eating habits. Shaped like a radish and as strong as a horse no wonder the common name of armo racia rustimana is horseradish. This plant, a member of the mustard family of the plant world, was introduced into America from Europe a couple of hundred years ago. Wthin recent years it has attained considerable commercial im portance. Used as an appe tizer, or in small amounts as a condiment for meats, its use has become almost universal. When freshly ground, horse radish is snow-white. Mixed with a small amount of vine gar it imparts to meats, sauces and gravies, a piquancy and zing unattained by any other condiment. Horseradish is a large-leaved herb, hardy in any moist soil. It reaches its height of eye-watering poten cy after being solidly frozen in the earth for several months. Horseradish has not always been available in a glass jar from the food store. Our fore fathers, as well as many peo ple today who live close to the earth, look forward to spring, when the frost leaves the ground and a few minutes work with a shovel will result in a number of sand-covered roots. "Grating the horseradish" is a tear-jerking job, but the results are worth the almost painful pressure on the hu man tear-ducts. The snow white horseradish is then mix ed with a small amount of vinegar and is ready for the table. Some of the wiser house wives mixed sweet cream and a little sugar to freshly ground horseradish. This treatment takes some of the zing from it, and gives the condiment a smooth, delicious mildness. Even this way, however, horseradish shouldn't be eaten with a spoon. A small portion of horseradish tastes like a lot. But small amounts do not send one's tear-ducts into orbit.

But the scientific acid test is repeat ability by other scien ! tists in other ) 1 a b o ratorics ' and each time this tpst. wns flunked. The sixth time came this year - and the acid test has been' passed. Please don't think the common cold virus has been isolated at long last. There s a long way to go be fore that can be proved and a vaccine can be made against the virus. However, there now is sound scientific reason for hope. The two groups of scien tists whose tests matched suc cessfully got their viruses out of the stuffed-up noses of peo ple 'with colds. Dr. D. A. J, Tyrrell and his associates of common cold research lab oratory at Salisbury, Eng., were first. They took viruses from noses through labora tory dishes and into other noses which became inflamed with the common cold. Result Repeated Dr. D. Hobson and G. C. Schild of the virus research laboratory at the University of Sheffield, Eng., repeated this result almost although not quite precisely, using the same scientitic methods but entirely different noses, of course. The big question is whether the viruses isolated in Salis bury and later in Sheffield are the same kind of viruses. Since there is little question of their being equally capable of producing the prime symp tom of the common cold, the stuffed-up nose.' They appear to be although it is a tough question to an swer. The two sets have strik ing attributes in common. They'll propagate in the lab oratory only in human em bryonic kidney tissue or in monkey kidney tissue. The alkaline-acid balance of the cultural medium has to be just so, and way over on the alkaline side. The tern- Kennedy's News$ecretary Med To Make Apology Manchester, N. 11. - IUPH -Publisher William Loeb of the Manchester Unio n Lender Monday challenged President elect John F. Kennedy's news secretary to apologize for re marks about the newspaper's election coverage or defend them in a public debate. Loeb said in an editorial that Press Secretary Pierre Salinger should either apolo gize or debate with Loeb the validity of the charges. Salinger said last week at a meeting of Sigma Delia Chi journalism fraternity he felt the Union Leader and the In dianapolis Star slanted stories against the Democratic candi date in reporting the presi dential campaign. "Under ordinary circum stances this writer would re gard the charge hurled against Union Lender news covering of the presidential campaign as just so much politicking, for despite our editorial preference for Mr. Richard M. Nixon, we bent over backwards to give Sen. Kennedy and the entire Dem ocratic ticket fair and equal news coverage, he said. o perature of the medium has to be rather cold -91.2 de grees F., before they will in cubate and the medium must be rotated. From these very special re quirements, it is not difficult to understand why the com mon cold virus has eluded scientific isolation for so long assuming it is now trapped in these laboratory cultures. Common Characteristics The Salisbury and Sheffield isolates have behavioral char acteristics in common, in ad dition to the ability of produc ing a cold in human noses. In their cultural mediums, they react identically with a group of other viruses - mainly the viruses involved in various types of flu. Hobson and bchild were cautious in publishing their results, as scientists working with the common cold enigma have long since learned to be. At this moment "it cannot be said that the agents are truly common-cold viruses," they said. But their results "are en couraging," they granted, "in that they suggest that many of the findings of the Salis bury group of workers are relevant to a study of natural common colds." What they're going to look into now is whether these viruses are widely distributed in the population of Sheffield and what parts they play in other respiratory ailments. Walsh Commended By Peler Gunnar Jackson County Central Committee Chairman Joseph Walsh was commended by Stale Chairman Peter Gun nar, Salem, al a meeting of party workers and legislators Saturday in Salem for his "outstanding service during tlie election campaign of 1900." Gunnar said Walsh "is the type ot person who by ex ample increases the respect of all citizens for political work." As result of the work of Walsh and his associates on the Jackson County Central Committee, an i n cr e a s I n g number of younger people were encouraged to partici pate in programs designed to support the cause of good government, Gunnar said "An example of the effec tiveness of this approach is to be found in the turnout of voters in Jackson county which evidently was among the highest in the stale in this last election," Gunnar said. "Although It is not always recognized by the average voter, the work of the party organization and its leaders is of vital importance in secur ing for Oregon capable, com petent officials," Gunnar said. Walsh was named chairman of the resolutions committee for the meeting of the stale central committee. Swastikas Smeared On Synagogue Doors Dublin, Ireland - llll'll - The doors of a Dublin synagogue were found smeared with swastikas and anti-Jewish slo gans Monday. The Justice Ministry order ed police to take steps to "bring those responsible for the desecration Ip justice." The daubings, some of which were more than six feet high on. the huge doors, contained the words "kill, Communist" and "Juden rails" (Jews get out). Washington - IUPH - Pierre Salinger, President-elect John F. Kennedy's press secretary, said today a New Hampshire publisher "can't take it" when he is criticized for his news paper's treatment of the news. Replying to a demand for an apology or a debate from Publisher William Loeb of the Manchester Union Leader stemming from remarks made by the press secretary last week, Salinger said in a statement: "The trouble with Mr. Loeb is thai he feels free to attack people without regard for the facts 364 days of the year and when his irrespon sibility is challenged one day a year, he can't take it."
