New York - (UPB - Dr. War

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

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.

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

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.

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.
