Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, JULY 21. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON British Hondurans Looking to Arrival of Peace Corps Volunteers Belize, British Honduras -(I'Pli- British Hondurans, from the man on the street or in the field to government offi cials, are looking ahead hope fully to the arrival of Peace Corps volunteers in September. Congressmen Get Cholesterol News From NSF Doctor By JOSEPH L. MYLER United Press International Washington -OJPD- The con gressmen said frankly they'd like a little free medical ad vice. So Dr. Philip Handler oblig ed them with a few simple rules which distilled out to: "Don't get fat." Handler is chairman of the department of biochemistry and nutrition at Duke univer sity. On behalf of the Nation al Science foundation, lie had been lecturing a house appro priations subcommittee on matters biological. The Living Cell He spoke at length on the living cell, what it U made of, how it uses energy, what it manufactures. He discussed genetics, the nature of genes, molecular diseases, the nerv ous system, cancer and nu trition. As Dr. Handler was wind ing up his discource, Rep. Charles R. Jonas, (R-N.C), looked around at his fellow committee members and said: "Before this expert In the field leaves us, I think we ought tot get a little free ad vice from him about blood cholesterol . , . that becomes of increasing Interest as we grow older." Rep. Joe L. Evins, (D-Tenn), assented. He said "wc are very practical minded men here." Trua Notions Handler came through handsomely. H e remarked that "there are some simple notions (about diet) which have some abiding truth in them." He cautioned, how ever, that there also "is a lot of nonsense in this area." "The simple notions to which I think one can ad here." he said, "arc: first, obese people do not live as long as the nonobese. In the laboratory, the thin rats bury the fat rats. "Secondly, all nlhpr things being equal, a diet which is relatively low In fat seems to result In significant reduc tion in the level of the var ious fatty materials, Including cholesterol, which are in the circulation. Find Fats "It is true that heart at tacks occur in individuals who have high levels of fats In their blood, and we find these fats on the walls of great vessels of persons who have had heart attacks. "But it is also true that some people have myocardial infarcts, heart attacks, who do not have high blood levels of these fats, and the simple causal relationship one would hope to be able to establish has never been established. "However, since each of us Is known to live only once, in our own self-interest what we should do. I think, is live a reasonable existence in terms of not permitting one self to become needlessly ohese, and eating a diet in which the fat is not too prom inent." "This is all you ran do," Dr. Handler said. "Beyond that, absurd measures which absolutely exclude fat from the diet have never been demonstrated to he effective In any group " Kennedy Ponders Western Junkel Wa.-hiiiKlnn ilTh- President . Kennedy is considering a nnn pnlitiral tour in the West in August. Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said Wednes day. Salinger declined to discus-, specific speaking da'es but in d i c a t c d that Kennedy's schedule will be completed soon. Ttie subject came up when Salinger was asked at a brief ing whether the chief execu tive will aliend a ground breaking ceremony for the Sau Luis Dam and Reservoir in western Merced cnimtv. Calif. Ralph M. Brndy, of Fresno, chairman of the committee planning the ceremonies, said Tuesday that the president's participation was confirmed In a telegram from Interior Secretary Stewart I'dnll. All Salinger would say al this point was. "If he iKen nedy) goes, he will consider making a trip to Los Banos." where the San Luis project is located President Kennedy is ex. pected to leave on the trip about Aug 18. A final survey of the needs of the country and of facili ties for volunteers just has been completed by William Wister of Philadelphia, liter national Relations officer for the Central American and Caribbean unit of the Peace Corps. He said the Peace Corps is coming at the direct invitation of the government. Enormous Ratio Forty volunteers are being requested, an enormous ratio in a country of only 90,000 In habitants. For this reason Peace Corps leaders antici pate making a great impact. Wister commented they will begin in British Honduras with three major advantages . . . a common language, Eng lish; friendly, welcoming peo ple: and an absence of the anti-American, pro-Left influ ence so frequently found in this part of the world. He said this could be a "show-case" project for the Peace Corps. Volunteers will be placed in each of the six districts of the country. II. is expected the group will consist of at least six agriculturists to teach and do field work and research, two statisticians, and the bal ance primary and secondary teachers. To Live With People In keeping with Corps pol icy, the volunteers will be ac companied as much as possi ble by British Hondurans of equivalent status. They will live and work with the peo ple. Since everything indi cates an enthusiastic recep tion for the volunteers rather than hostility, their major problem may be fighting the traditional inertia of the na tives. Volunteers for this project now are In training at the University of Maryland. They should arrive in Belize for a two-week orientation course early in September before be ing sent to their posts. Although plans now call for a 21-m o n t h stay for volun teers, they could be replaced at the end of that time. Wister said that the Peace Corps con sidcrs Itself a permanent agency of government and plans to keep volunteers here until the job Is done. The economic and political climate of tiny British Hon duras is marked today by greater cooperation between government and business than at any time in the coun try's history. Common danger shared and common challeng es faced are leading to a bet ter understanding of each oth er's problems and a new willingness to work together for the ultimate development of the country. First Minister Ceorge Price returned from London re cently with firm commit ments for cash to rehabilitate the hurricane-battered coun try. Most of this will go for normal reconstruction in Bel ize and the villages. Housing loans and farm loans will be possible. Government has al located funds to allow 100 per cent free grants to pri mary schools to replace build ings and equipment lost in the storm and secondary schools will be eligible for funds which are half loan, half grant. Assistance Pledged Futhermore, United King dom has pledged the initial financial assistance for con struction of a new capital for British Honduras. A project discussed since the disastrous hurricane of 1931, it became a "must" after the 1861 storm. Belize has outgrown its lo cation. Crammed on I small peninsula backed by swamp, it has nowhere to expand. Public water and sewage dis posal are unfeasible in the Dead-Sea-level city. A location well inland has been selected for the new cap ital. It is 50 miles north of Belize, about 22 miles south of the western town of El Cayo, and is at the junction of the Hummingbird highway which winds through moun tainous jungle to the port city of Stann Creek in the heart of the citrus country to the south. Plans for the new capital, now being detailed, must be submitted to U. K. for approv al before work can start, but government plans to move ahead with the project as quickly as is physically pos sible. .a m v Ah Conditioned CANDI CANE PURE CANE SUyAlt 10-lb. bag Limit, plan BETTER TASTING MAXWELL HOUSE limit, please GOLD MEDAL ENRICHED LOUR 10-lb. bag Limit, please WHITE STAR CHUNK TUNA Limit Please Vs for Your PRICES EFFECTIVE Thursday, July 24 through Sunday, July 29 at Safewsy in Medford.

Nasser, then an army lieu tenant colonel, led a dozen other young officers in a re volt against the corrupt civil government of King Farouk 10 years ago, sending the con fused and luxury-sated king into European exile. Egyptians are celebrating the anniversary with a week of parades, fireworks, and ceremonies. Peasants in their long striped galablyahs and headdresses have been crowd ing Nasser's capital for many days. But the high point of the celebration came two days before the anniversary date on an Egyptian missile tost site 50 miles from Cairo, a 20th Century establishment less than an hour's drive from the Pyramids. There the United Arab Re public entered the space age. in the presence of Nasser and the foreign press. It fired four single-stage I rockets and Nasser announc i ed that they were now "in large scale production-other-I wise we couldn't have spared ; the four for testing." It was clear from his other remarks how closely Egypt's unfinished war with Israel is linked with the rockets and other military developments. "The only military signifi cance is the range they reach," Nasser told newsmen. Asked their exact range, he said: "A little south of Beirut" - a ref erence to Israel, which lies to the south of Lebanon. The rockets have a range of from 235 to 372 miles. Tel Aviv, is 250 airline miles from Cairo. They All Agree Although Nasser carries on quarrels with some of his Arab neighbors, their enmity toward Israel is one thing all agree on. With the French Al gerian war at an end, observ ers believe new efforts will be made to concentrate attention on the Israel issue. These other developments were in the forefront as the United Arab Republic marked 10 years under Nasser: -The moves toward creation of a socialist state.

From dreams of one United Arab state, the emphasis now seems to be aiming for eventual but grad ual federation. Syria's withdrawal last Sep tember from the three and a half year old union under Nasser has had serious reper cussions around the Middle East. But it has not been the political disaster to Nasser's prestige that some observers predictrd. Syria has escaoerl thp stin gent socialist measures Nasser had planned for it, but the price has been political chaos.

It is a curious situation in inai ODiervers here are vir tually unanimous in agreeing Nasser does not want the un ion, as such, restored. The most that a pro-Nasser coup in Damascus could accomplish now, most observers here be lieve, is a federation of the two states.

Price of White Bread Increased By 55 Per Cent Washington-OIPD-The price of white bread at the retail counter has risen more than 55 pe rcent since 1947-49, but the cost of the farm ingredi- ents has dropped 12 per cent. according to the Agriculture Department's Economic Re search Service. During the same period there was a 18 per cent rise in the consumer price index for all good items purchased for home consumption. In 1961, white bread sold at an all-time high of 20.9 cents for a one-pound loaf. This was an increase of 7.4 cents over 1947-49. Higher Margins ERS said all of the increase was due to higher marketings margins at the various levels of production. The farm value of the in gredients which go to make up bread averaged 2.9 cents on a one-pound loaf In 1961, compared with a 3.3 - cent value in 1947-49. ERS said the drop was due principally to lower farm prices for wheat, lard, sugar, and milk. Milling adds another one cent per loaf. From 1947-49 to 1955, the margin for mill, ing remained stable at 0 6 cent per loaf. Since 1955 the margin has risen 67 per cent. Share Almost Double The wholesale baker's share in 1961 of the total price was 11.7 cents per loaf, almost double the 6 cents share in 1947-49. ERS said increased labor costs to wholesale bak ers, particulary for bread dis tribution, accounted for a ma jor portion of this sharp rise in the wholesaler's margin. The total labor cost, including wages, commissions, salaries and fringe benefits was 6 cents per loaf in 1961, com pared with 2.2 cents per loaf in 1945. Other expenses, in cluding advertising, packag ing, delivery, and profits, amounted to 5.7 cents per loaf in 1961, compared with 2.2 cents in 1945. The retail margin In 1961 was 3.8 cents, or 18 per cent of the total price of the bread. In 1947-49, the retail margin was 2.4 cents per loaf. The remaining 1.5 cents spent for bread in 1961 went for storing, insuring, trans porting, and handling. This was only slightly more than the cost of these services in 1947-49.
