MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Prescription Drug Said Effective in Virus Infections FRIDAY, JUNE I. 1962 5 i t Br DELOS SMITH ' UPI Science Editor New York - (UPB - Dr. War ren E. Wheeler, distin guished pediatrician and chief f.f""w",j editor of a Tf i medical Ki- f ,.?".vV ence journal L " 1 f , W. of the Ameri- Aiiocii ; tion, takes up the question ! of w h e ther there is some "e m p t y - onoi smith h e a dedness In his profession and con cludes there is. His reference was to a pre scription drug now widely ad vertised and "detailed" to the profession which is said to be effective against virus infec tions. This claim flies in the face of repeated medical sci ence findings that no chemi cal agent now known to man can stop such infections. The success this drug is having with some prescrib ing physicians "is sad testi mony to the distortion of pur pose which keeps creeping Into modern medicine," Dr. Wheeler said editorially in his journal, "Diseases of Chil dren." Forget Role "Perhaps all of us some of the time and some of us all the time depart from our traditional role of aiding the patient to adopt the frustrat ing position of feeling that we must, by our own prescrip tion, cure every patient." The drug, he added, "stands ready to rush into that type of professional empty headed ness." He reminded physicians it fs by no means a new drug. It's been available since 1938, but until 1957 was recom mended for treatment of pro tein deficiency. In 1957 it became the "first proven" anti-viral drug. Dr. Wheeler complained of the nature of this "proof" offered by the manufacturer. Evidence Lacking The "proof is by testimo nials which contain no evi dence of scientific testing ei ther in the laboratory or in patients, he said. Neverthe less, "the entire spectrum of virus infections" is said to have been "successfully treat ed- with it. ne was commenting on research report in the same issue of his journal from Drs. C. Henry Kempe and Vincent A. Fulginiti of the University of Colorado Medical center, Denver. They tested the drug with accepted scientific tech. niques against viruses in tis sue cultures and viruses in fecting mice, monkeys and human beings. They reported a "total fail ure" to find any anti-viral ac tivity in the drug. Wafer Well Code Effective Monday Salem - (UPD - State Engi neer Chris L. Wheeler has re minded that Oregon's new water well code goes into ef fect Monday. It sets standards for the thickness of walls of water wells, casings, and seals around the outside of casings. Wheeler said the code will help to prevent ground wa ter polution. All well owners, will drill ers and water well contrac tors are affected by the code. The standards also provide regulations for maintaining wells, controlling artesian wells to prevent waste, and sealing abandoned wells. On the latter point. Wheel er said there are many wells throughout Oregon which are a menace to public safety. The new code requires that they be filled, capped or sealed. see insect signs? spray IS0T0X- get the blooms you planted for !

(UPI) Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Our Strawberries Have Man; Takers So Enjoy Them Now Strawberries are big busi ness in our part of the coun try. At this season they're at their finest for eating out-of-hand with stems on and dipped in powdered sugar. They're marvellous with plain cream, with whipped cream and with dairy sour cream. ' , . They're dessert perfection in shortcakes, frozen pud dings, custard delights. Frozen strawberries lead all other frozen fruits. They also head any list of fruits used for commercially packed jams and jellies. We remind you of these things because there's no longer a peak sea son when strawberries are cheaper. Today's home-m a k e r of strawberry jam and the home freezer of strawberries buys them in competition with the commercial packers. So it's every man for himself. The bargains of yesterday are no more. But strawberries are a good value any time. Trust Fruit Man When it comes to berries of any and all kinds, we suggest that you talk your preserving plans over with your favored and trusted fruit man. Tell him what you have in mind; how many you plan to "put up" and he will be glad to ad vise you as to the best time to "pick them up . Plan to pick them up early in the morning; "put them up" right away without delay. No Experimenting Do not attempt to put up too many berries (or fruits for that matter) at one time. Above all things, do not ex periment with your recipes. Ingredients are too costly. Follow canning, freezing, jam making or other directions to the letter. They ve been per fected by experts to insure praise-worthy results. Have fun! Ham Salad Spread Combine one-half cup fine ly diced cooked leftover lean ham, one-third cup finely chopped celery, one table spoon chopped pimiento, one half teaspoon powdered mus tard, one-eighth teaspoon gar lic powder, one-fourth tea spoon salt, one-sixteenth tea spoon ground black pepper and one tablespoon mayonnaise. Butter Cookies For special occasions (the celebration of June Dairy Month, for instance) and for one's own very special family. there are few things to com pare with cookies made with butter. You'll get 2'4 to 3 dozen cookies with this recipe. Vt cup (1 stick) butter 1 cup sugar 1 egg t teaspoon pure vanilla 1 14 cups sifted flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 14 teaspoon salt Cream butter; add sugar (ORTjaQ)! CALIFORNIA CHEMICAL COMPANY, ORTHO DIVISION JOO BUSn Kr, mn rrnw gradually and cream thor oughly. Add egg; beat well. Stir in vanilla. Mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt. Add to first mixture; stir until blended. Chill for one half hour. Roll cookie dough out on floured board to one-eighth inch thickness. Cut in various shapes with floured cookie cutters. Bake on cookie sheet in moderately hot, 37S degree, oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Curried Deviled Eggs , There are about as many ways to devil eggs as there are to make potato salad, but we think you'll agree this fluffy combination of hard cooked egg yolks, cottage cheese and a bit of curry is one of the better ways. Hard-cook six eggs and cut in half; remove yolks and put in medium size bowl. Mash yolks and mix with two tablespoons mayonnaise, one teaspoon vinegar, one-fourth teaspoon dry mustard, one- half teaspoon curry powder (more, if desired), one-half cup cottage cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Beat until well mixed and fluffy. Pile high in egg white halves and sprinkle with paprika andor chopped chives. Creamed Vegetables Add interest and flavor va riety to creamed vegetables by adding one or more of the following: grated cheese, mushrooms, prepared mus tard, chopped almonds, minced parsley, chopped pi miento, minced green onions or chives, sliced stuffed olives, curry powder, chopped hard-cooked eggs. June Markets Feature Choice Dairy Products June traditionally is known as Dairy Month." During this month the production of milk and other dairy prod ucts reaches the highest levels of the year. Watch for bargain buys in popular cot tage cheese, Cheddar cheese, processed cheeses, nonfat dry milk and evaporated milk For many purposes, evapo rated and nonfat dry milk arc very economical. Care and Storage, A simple rule tor keeping fresh fluid milk and all its product fam ily at its best is the rule of the three "C"s. Keep them Clean, Cold and Covered. Canned milk is a pantry shelf item until opened. Nonfat dry milk should be kept tightly covered in a dry place; can be kept at room temperature for several months. When re constituted, it requires the same storage as fresh milk. The many fine cheeses, not glassed or specially packaged, should be covered tightly or wrapped in aluminum foil, transparent wrap or waxed paper and stored in the re frigerator. Most cheese with the definite exception of cot tage cheese is best served at room temperature. For "hard" refrigerated cheeses, allow 30 minutes before serving. Other Good Buys Fruit displays are increas ingly exciting as fresh peaches, plums, cherries and variety of berries arrive daily in our markets to ap pear alongside plentiful avo cados, bananas, cantaloupes, grapefruit, strawberries and oranges. Watermelon prices appear to be on the down ward trend. Meat and fish department. June's "best buy" spotlight also beams on high quality beef at attractive prices; on pork with good values in spareribs, bacon, sausage; and on many cuts of good western lamb. Plenty of fryer-broilers and turkeys. West coast caught fish and shellfish specialties include cod, Dungeness crab, fish sticks, flounder, halibut, rock fish and shrimp for menu va riety and good eating. Emergency Lumber Quofa Held Illegal Branchfield Plans To Attend Seminar - State Legislative Candidate Edward Branchfield will leave Saturday for Ann Ar bor, Mich., where he will at tend a two-week law seminar at the University of Michigan. The Medford lawyer will study two courses, "Wills and Trusts" and "Commercial Law," which concerns the uniform commercial code adopted last year by the Ore gon legislature to become ef fective in September, 1983. Branchfield was graduated in 1942 from the University of Michigan law school. Portland - (UPI) - The U. S. Tariff Commission informed the Lumbermen's Economic Survival Committee Thursday that the commission has no authority to impose an emer gency quota on imports of Canadian lumber. Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) and Sen. Vance Hartke (D Ind.) had suggested after a hearing here June 4 that the lumbermen ask the tariff commission how to proceed in petitioning for an emergency quota. In a reply Thursday, the commission said it would take at least six months to get any action and suggested that the lumbermen wait until Presi dent Kennedy's interdepart mental committee turns in its report. The President's com mittee is investigating the plight of the Northwest lum ber industry and the effect of Canadian imports. Lumbermen said Thursday's answer eliminates the tariff commission as a possible means of relief for the sagging lumber industry. Oregon Receives First Portion 01 Ford Money The State Department of Education has received $970, 000 from the Ford Founda tion, the first installment of the Oregon Program funds. According to Dr. Leon P. Minear, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the money received will cover ex penses of the first fiscal year (which begins July 1) of the three-year, $3.5 million pro gram. The State Board of Educa tion, at its quarterly meeting in Salem June 11-12, is sched uled to approve the proposed budget for the first year's operation of the Oregon Pro gram. The Board will also approve participation applica tions from various colleges and local school districts in volved in the project. Six briefing sessions, called by Dr. Minear last month, were held in Salem to inform the 12 participating colleges and the 26 school districts of necessary steps to be taken in submitting applications to the State Board of Education for approval of Program par ticipation, and to initiate the formation of committees for Oregon Program activities. The Education Department plans to conduct a summer workshop for Oregon Pro gram participants so they may become better oriented to the purposes of the program. No date has been set for the workshop.
