MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY. JULY 5. 1962 g f Neurologists Seek To Save Lost Children By Imbalance Correction ! i . 1 .o'iK 1 t . V " ' V" - SIGHTSEERS STOPPED-San Diego sheriff's deputies stop sightseers as an uncontrolled forest fire spreads down both sides of a mountain road. Erratic winds threatened to spread the blaze to scattered ranches in the area. (UPI) By BERNARD W. CAUGHEY Boston -il'Pli- An injection of fluid to change the chemi cal makeup of a child could be the key to the cure and pre vention of some mental and physical abnormalities, ac cording to a widely known neurochemist. "We seek to take this lost material-the mentally defi cient and abnormal-out of so ciety's wastebasket and to make them useful," Dr. L. Lahunt Uzman said as he was named to head a new depart ment of neurology at the Chil dren's Hospital medical cen ter. Uzman, 38, a native of Is tanbul, Turkey, also became the first Bronson Crothers pro fessor of neurology at Har vard university. The chair honors Dr. Bronson Crothers, a leader In clinical teaching and research involving neuro logical disorders in children. An injection or other "out side interference" to change the chemical constitution and correct "nature's mistake" must be made before a child reaches chemical maturity, usually when he is 4 or 5 years old, but sometimes as much as 11 years old. "During this God-given per iod of grace we can interfere to change any imbalance, pos sibly cure an abnormality and eliminate any further need of Rotary Club Elects Martin President; Assumes New Post v V'"t j if -J l s X ;?

STREAMLINED W rot ham, England - IUPP -Communteis were puzzled when they saw the signs at the Wrotham and Borough Green railroad station had been changed to "Borough Green and Wrntham " A rail road spokesman explained it was part ot a modernization drive. Fomily 1 J Oliver D. Martin, manager of Vollstedt Kerr Lumber company, Medford, assumed the presidency of. the Medford Rotary Tuesday at the week ly luncheon meeting at the Rogue Valley Country club. Martin succeeds Dr. Ray mond McNair, whose admin istration during the past year has seen the local Rotary club expand in membership to ap proximately 150 members. Under McNair's leadership the club has been active in the American Field Service program and established active Rotary Foundation plan to advance the club's scholar ship work. The new Medford Rotary club president "has been a res ident of Oregon since 1932, when he moved to Douglass county from Texas to engage in the lumber business. A veteran of World War I, Mar tin has been active in the wholesale lumber business in this area for the past 18 years Member of Organiiations He is a member of the Ma sonic lodge, Hillah Shrine Temple, Medford Lodge 1168, BPOE and active in civic work in this community. He is now chairman of the Sal vation Army Advisory board Speaking for the first time as president of the Medford Rotary club.

Thir teen Rolarians attended from Red China. V. Ward Hammond, retired official of Pacific Power and Light company and newly elected governor of Rotary District 511, described brief ly his nine-day sessions at Lake Placid. N.Y., when 261 of 269 Rotary district gover nors from all parts of the world gathered for schooling in policies and procedures of the world-wide organization. An interesting highlight of the Lake Placid meeting was the fact that 65 different cur rencies had to he converted to U.S. money almo:.l daily as a service to delegates.

July B'h litu medical interference," he said This "interference" could be done even before the child is born. "We have in the past re versed some diseases and ab normalities and there is rea son to believe further prog ress can be made," he said. Litt For Attack Included on Uzman's list for attack were cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, paralytic poliomyelitis, epilepsy, men tal retardation, conge ntial malformations, hereditary brain and spinal cord disor ders, and brain tumors. A major difficulty in study ing the brain is that it cannot be cut open and then sewn back up like other organs, he said. "Major irreversible harm is done to the brain if it goes without oxygen for even a few seconds." he said. Uzman estimated that of the 4.5 million babies born next year 25,000 will have congenital neurological dis eases, most of them incurable. "The annual loss of man power, not counting care, treatment and other factors, due to neurological diseases, is greater than the combined loss caused by the atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nag asaki," Uzman said. "A minor, subtle change in molecules in childhood could result in major grotesquencss in adulthood, he said. Uzman said he intended to expand the new neurology de partment at Children's Hos pital by recruiting "the best minds throughout the coun try." The research and teach -ng department was made poss-ible through an anonymous $400, 000 donation to the hospital in 1960. This money plus an other $100,000 was given to Harvard university for crea tion of the Crothers Chair. Uzman's most important work to date has been estab lishing the cause of Wilson's disease, a genetic ailment in volving cirrhosis of the liver. Thousands See Capital Fireworks Display Washington-OTII-An estimat ed 135,000 persons jammed onto the Washington Monu ment grounds Wednesday night to watch a gigantic July 4th fireworks display. Police estimated another 52,000 watched from adjacent areas. The crowd was orderly, the display went off without a dud. but a huge, two-hour traffic jam developed when 187,000 people decided to go home at the same time - after the last aerial firecracker. Enrollment Figures for Summer Session at SOC Show Healthy Fluctuation Ashland - Enrollment fig ures for the Southern Oregon college Summer Session show a healthy fluctuation, accord ing to Mrs. Mabel W. Winston, registrar. Although the overall enroll ment statistics indicate a de cline of 2.3 per cent, a rever sal of regular session trends, SOC now has 676 students, compared to 685 at this time last year. The decline Indicates a strengthening of teacher pre paration in the regional area, she' said. This seems to be pointed out by a comparison of undergraduate and gradu ate enrollments. Undergraduate enrollment is down slightly while gradu ate registration has shown a slight gain. One-hundred and sixty eight graduate students are enrolled with secondary education registrants rising to 7.8 per cent over last year. Secondary ed;ica'ion enroll ments also show a stiffening with science-math registrants jumping 80 per cent over last year. New enrollments d from high school are up over 180 per cent. A total of 64 new freshmen have reported to SOC to begin their academ ic work. This trend, if it con tinues, seems encouraging, Mrs. Winston said, for the per centage of old students return ing to the campus is up 39.5 per cent. Two hundred and seventy seven men students are en rolled, being outnumbered by the 399 women students on campus. Korean veterans taking ad vantage of public law 550 has dropped as expected, Mrs. Winston said, and special stu dent enrollment at the gradu ate level is up 21.9 per cent. Four workshops beginning July 16 and another July 30 will change and increase the enrollment figures before the session ends, Mrs. Winston noted.
