Northwest Assembly Calls For Better O Eugene Participants in the Pacific Northwest Assembly Issued a final report Sunday which called for improvement and extension of educational opportunities for all age groups to meet the challenge of automation, continuous con sultations between labor and management, and assumption of responsibility by the pub lic in areas not covered by labor-management relations. The final report summariz ed the findings of the 55 par ticipiants from five Northwest states who met for four days at the Village Green in Cot tage Grove to discuss the im pact of automation and tech nological change. The Pacific Northwest Assembly was co- sponsored by the American Assembly and the University of Oregon. Saturday evening the par ticipants heard Leonard Har die, field director of the San Francisco office of the office of manpower, automation, and training of the department of labor. He described the oper ations of his office, which was X MMIT 10 THE BEST ATSSJ ml MISSION MACARONI CO. M Hi I lOUttliAvt.

The Assembly's final report states that in manufacturing automation will replace much of manned mass production and "brings a threat of mass unemployment as certainly as it brings the promise of un paralleled abundance."

SECTION B PAGES I to 10 MedfordTribune MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1063 The Medical Roundup New Method of Extraction Noted Portland A new resources development report issued by the Oregon department of planning and development, "Electrowinning Copper and Zinc from Oregon Mines," points to a possible new meth od of extracting copper and zinc from Oregon deposits of sulfide ores. Written by Robert E. Mere dith of the OSU department of chemical engineering, the report discusses recent studies made at OSU in cooperation with the department of plan ning and development on more economical methods of processing ores. In the OSU laboratory stu dies, an ammonia leach was used to remove ionic copper from the ores. By electro chemical process, the two metals then were plated out, either separately lor together as the constituents of brass. Metallic mining in Oregon has been held back by the size and nature of the ore deposits and by the high cost of conventional ore processing techniques. The report also includes aa discussion of Oregon's metal lic mineral production and known deposits by R. G. Bowen of the Oregon depart ment of geology and mineral industries. tmerltua Coniullant In Mrdirint Mio i'linir Emcrttui I'rofr-aatir or Mcdlclnt .Mayo I'ltnic (Rrgutcr and Tribune Syndicate, Alvarrz Mental Illneu Readers of this column keep asking me what is being learned in regard to the possi- bility that mental illness is due to some abnormal chemical found in the blood or the urine of the patient. Actu ally, much re search is being done i n this field, and a number of men have reported very interesting findings. The most important point is that a certain peculiar chem ical is being found much more often in persons who are men tally disturbed than in per sons who are well-adjusted. There have been reports of a substance obtainable from the blood of persons with mental disease, which if injected into a sane person, will produce a mental disturbance, but these findings need more confirma tion by a number of research ers before they can be ac cepted by everyone. Today, there is a large group of psychiatrists who have banded together to form the Society of Biological Psy chiatry. This society is made up, not of men who spend their lives spinning theories and modify ing the theories of Freud, but of men who are chemists, brain physiologists, makers of new drugs, and stu dents of drugs that either stimulate or quiet the brain.

Already drugs have caused the number of schizo phrenics who leave a mental hospital to exceed that of the schizophrenics who are ad mitted. Also, drugs have great ly lessened the number of per sons who need electroshock treatment. In Certain Families Although I think it probable that in some cases we will find that a mental disturbance is due to the development in the body of chemicals which in jure the brain, we will always have to remember that, as Freud once pointed out, ner vous and mental troubles lend to appear often in certain fam ilies and rarely in other fam ilies. Also, we must always re member that the brain is one of the organs of the body, and actually the most complicated one, and hence it must always have some diseases all its own. But a great day has dawned when, instead of psychiatrists merely theorizing, they are going into laboratories to study normal and diseased brains with scientific technics and exact chemical methods. Today, more and more psy chiatrists are beginning lo use the clcctrocncephalo graph, which can be so extremely helpful in showing what is going on within a brain, and inshowing that the person can be helped with a drug and not by psychotherapy. Analysts would be astonished to find that some of the persons whom for years they have been trying to cure with anal ysis have a definite and easily recognizable "organic dis ease of the brain, such as can be helped only with a drug like Dilatin of Mysoline. Another remarkable fact is that since 1055, the science of genetics has been advancing at such a rapid rate, and the geneticists have been doing such remarkable things that soon it will be impossible for the psychoanalysts to ignore their work. No longer will they be able to deny the tre mendous Influence of hered ity in making us men and women either able and well adjusted or shiftless and poor ly adjusted.

Two Lois Remain On Sale by BLM The Bureau of Land Man agement h." ; announced that two lots remain unsolc. in the Kanaka Flats homcsitc area near Jacksonville and Med ford. There will continue lo be offered at public auction at 10:30 a.m. each Wednesday at the Portia: 1 land office uniil March 14, unless they are sold before that date. Stanley D. Lesler, manager of the Portland land office, said that each lot contains five acres and is accessible via Highway ?38 which crosses both lots. Electrical power and telephone facilities arc available from lines ncaroy. Lester rcid the appraised value of each lot is $(150 and that no bids would be ac cepted for less. Bids may be made in per son, or by mail accompanied with the full amount bid ' the form of pr t office oncy order, cashier's or certified check, or bank draft. More detailed ln'ormition and a diagram of the land may be obtainc. from the n-magcr, land office, room 1221, 710 NE Holladay, Portland 12.

But when the street was wet. either from rain, dew or street cleaning, "at, the girl in the while sweater, had to detour out into the street ani so arrived at work or at home with muddy shoes. There was a reason for t he detour: she had lo avoid the three ducks. Experience had taught her that to avoid being buffeted by powerful wings or pecked by sharp bills, one must bypass a certain lot where the three ducks lived. The lady wh- owned the ducks lived alone, and pre ferred to remain alone. She was thankful that her pels kept people at a distance. The three ducks saw to that; they were her guards in feathers. Every morning before day light the lady allowed the ducks to lake up their posi tion on the front lawn. The birds appeared always to sleep with one eye open, al ways ready to chase anyone or anything that dared lo walk along the sidewalk op posite their lot. If a stranger, not knowing the ducks, ven tured on the walk, the birds would rush him with flailing wings and hissing beaks. Never an Invi ion For some unexplained rea son they never invaded the yards on either side of their wner's property. Neil her did they ever bother any per son considerate enough to walk out in the road, tnercby by-passing their sacred terri tory. By some duck-reasoning they fell a strong senso of possession. The thrr" duc'-.s hecame a tradition in the neighborhood, as well as a thorn in the side of the more sensitive folk9. Some folks resented being pushed off into the street by three ducks; some treated it as a joke. For their part, the three ducks gave every indication of enjoying the frequont en counters with human beings. They probably felt a little important that they could force people to walk out Into the street and not trcsnass on the sidewalk they felt wa (heir very own. When folks rioloured out to miss their lol tne ducks beady iute eyes glittered with a superior gleam. They sat and watched with evident satisfaction. Just a Joke Pal, the girl in the while sweater, treated the silualinn joke, even when she alcr had lo clean the mud from her shoes. In fact, she saw an interesting parallel between herself and the three ducks and Goldilocks and her experiences with the three bears. Both girls were build ing memories for later years of enjoyment. But, as could be expected, there were other folks less tolerant. They complained bitterly; they resented being forced off the sidewalk by three brazen ducks. Some of these people went to the po- icc. The police came; they wanted to sec what all the shouting was about. No respectors of uniforms or badges, the three ducks hascd the police off the side- walk. That did it. The lady was ordered to pen up or, better still, get rid of the troublesome bird3 who thought the sidewalk was en tirely their own. Put, the girl in the white sweater, now arrives at work without mud on her shoes. There is no need to detour now. But somehow she misses her pursuers. The lot and the street seem strangely empty without the three ducks.
