MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27. 1963 6 7 ' 5 Kf Vs-!?'-; ..... . l.. ....... . ........A,,,,..; W Jr. 11 team""- Thousands III as Massive Influenza Outbreak Spreads By United Press International A massive outbreak of in fluenza covered 29 states to day and kept thousands of students and workers home in bed. The U.S. Public Health Service (HS) said the danger of Asian flu is expected to wane by the middle of next month but many areas in the eastern half of the nation re ported rising sickness rates. The Communicable Disease Center at Atlanta said Asian flu has been positively iden tified in 16 states. Other forms of influenza and kin dred ailmen' felled residents of 13 other states. Nearly 4.000 new cases of flu were reported in nine Ala bama counties Tuesday, putting the state total well over 10,000. Health authori ties said the outbreak shows Quotes From the News TRANSPORTATION Robert Griffith, (right) Cave Junction, an employee of the bureau of land management in Alaska, is shown with Wallace Fixsen, on one of their many trips during the winter to 300 Indian and Eskimo villages in the Fairbanks dis trict of BLM. District manager is Ross A. Youngblood, formerly with the BLM Med ford office. During the winter, BLM per sonnel contact the villages as a part of the presuppression and fire control education program, and train village fire fightem. The two foresters show a film on fire pro tection and tentatively signed up an emer gency fire fighting crew in each village. Transportation used is by airplane. Shown is a Cessna 180 which is equipped with both wheels and skis. The skis are raised and lowered by a hydraulic mechanism by the pilot. The district has six Cessans, two Gruman Goose float planes, and a DC3. Business Education Said Not Sharing Money for Research Ashland - "Business educa tion is not sharing to any sig nificant degree the tremen dous grants of money ear marked for research by the federal government," is the contention of an article by Dr. E. C. McGill, assistant to the president, Southern Oregon college, which appears in the latest issue of Forum, a pub lication of the National Busi ness Education association. Entitled "A Director of Academic Affairs Views the Need for Research in Busi ness Education," the article discusses the need for re search monies through the advancement of five basic points: 1. There should be thorough research in the area of inter field concepts to determine the relationships of business and economic education to the other fields of study. 2. Business education must critically reexamine the busi ness skills in relation to time for learning, relation of prac tice materials to the total knowledge in business and economics in particular, the total world of knowledge in general, and the application of appropriate methods for instruction to induce high achievement standards. 3. Investigation into the adaptation of business and economic materials to the ability level of the learner needs to be emphasized. 4. Analysis of the applica tions of new devices, media, and techniques in education to business education is needed. 5. Research in the preced ing and other areas will re late to the cost of education per student as the financial problems of education are in creasingly pressing. Woman Cited After Morning Accident Helen Doris Steed, of 635' 5 Pennsylvania ave., Medford, was cited by Medford police this morning for drviing while vision was obstructed after the vehicle she was operating was involved in an accident. According to police, driver of the other car was Doris Adelle Knapp, of 1006 Sunset ave. The accident occurred about 7 o'clock at the inter section of Fourth st. and Oak dale ave. Medford police also Inves tigated a two-vehicle accident Tuesday morning at the inter section of East Main and Central ave. Cited for driving the wrong way on one way street was Frank Harrison Vochatzer, 75, of route 2, box 228E, Medford. Driver of the other vehicle involved was Arnold Eugene Hironymous, 43, of 1 010 Southwest J si., Grants Pass. ACTOR TREATED Los Angeles - (UPD - Actor dancer Gene Kelly Saturday underwent treatment for a slipped disc. By United Press International Washington Rep. Thomas B. Curtis (R-Mo.) one of several congressmen angered by Rep. Adam Clayton Powell's sug gestion that nepotism and nightclubbing were typical be havior for members of the House: "The entire reputation of Congress it at stake. It hat been lowered because of this statements. It it the retponti bililly of the leaderthip to do something about It." no sign of reaching a peak The current cold wave is ex pected to push Alabama's flu total still higher. Schools Remain Closed Schools in three Kentucky counties remained closed to day. State health officials Tuesday reported a 20th death attributed to the flu and said previously unaffected areas are now reporting outbreaks, indicating the peak may not have been reached. The Tennessee health de partment reported nearly 8.000 new flue cases for the week ending Feb. 23, a jump of nearly 400 per cent over the previous week. More than 19.200. persons have been stricken with influenza in Tennessee this year. Most of the new cases were in the western part of the state. A leading medical spokes man said Tuesday the Los Angeles area may escape the flu outbreak because a 1960 epidemic may have immuniz ed enough persons to prevent another tiege. But Dr. Clay ton G. Loosli, dean of the Uni versity of Southern California Annual City Police Auction Is Slated The annual Medford police auction, to dispose of un claimed and abandoned per sonal property, will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, March 8, in the department's storage building at the Medford mu nicipal airport. Items to be sold include 16 automobiles, 20 bicycles and parts, set of golf clubs, miscel laneous automobile parts and accessories, small tools, toys, sports goods and other miscel laneous items. Items may be inspected by the public prior to the auction. School of Medicine and a member of the National Com mission on Influenza, said Los Angeles is not yet out of danger. The PHS said that states reporting Asian flu included North Carolina, Maryland, Delaware, Kansas, Illinois, Georgia, South Carolina, New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, New Jersey, Connecticut and Iowa. Other states reporting "flu like" virus outbreaks wera Vermont, Maine, Kentucky, West Virginia. Indiana, Ten nessee, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama, Pennsyl vania, Texas and Mississippi.

Pancreas Gland Held Possible Culprit In Blood Clotting By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York-ITU - Suspicious scientific fingers now point to the pancreas gland as the possible cul prit in the tragic course of chemical events which cause blood to riot and cling to the linings of arteries.

TOO- DEAN Cr TAYLOR PONTIAC CO., Inc. MEDFORD, OREGON 2177 SOUTH PACIFIC HIGHWAY attacks and "strokes" are the result. And it Is chemically mysterious. Body chemistry has chemicals which should prevent it from ever happening. Something diverts the chemistry into this abnormal course. So far no biochemist has found It. But due to no I lack of trying. They'd all de light in finding it. The dis covery eventually could make human lives longer. Drs. D. A. Hill and Jean E. Wilkinson were the pancrease- pointers. That gland produces the enzyme, elastase. Enzymes activate chemical processes. Elastase's chemical role is to dissolve elastin, which is the protein substance that keeps elastic tissues elastic. Without a chemical check such as elastase, elastin could go too far and liquify tissues. Short Duration The known chemical activ ity of elasta.se is of very short duration. The scientists pro duced circumstantial evidence to show spent elastase can get spotted around in the linings of arteries and there take on a second chemical life. This is to take an unbal ancing part In the chemistry of blood-clotting which nor mally is one of beautiful bal ance. There are substances in it which encourage clotting and substances which discour age it. In the arteries they cancel one another out. Drs. Mall and Wilkinson ar gued from results with test tube experiments that sup posedly chemically spent elas tase lodged In an artery lining can get the clotting chemistry to going In the blood. They made their arguments In the technical Journal "Nature." It's true that elastase has never been Identified in blood plasma and therefore you can wonder how it gets to artery linings to exercise a "systemic activity." they 6aid. But if you put purified elastase Into experimental animals you get "systemic ac tivity" every time. This indi cates It Is absorbed through the intestinal linings. Any way, they added, techniques for finding plasma consti tuents are not yet so refined they couldn't mill tiny amounts of elastase. Can Be Injured An extremely tiny amount would be enough in any art ery lining. And, this, they said, would account for the puzzling fact that clotted art eries usually appear quite I healthy except in the one spot where the clot formed. They reminded other scien tist."; that the purely physical state of an artery lining did not seem to predispose it for clot-formation. Artery linings can be injured and they can be cut into by surgeons but clots do not form at the sites of injury or surgery. There fore, the predisposing factor must be chemical, they rea soned. Although blood clottl".; chemistry is extrem'" ,.-. plicated, elastase r :.ow considered to b' t micipant in it. Be th' i. It may, they xdded, you ran prove In test tubes that It will shorten the 'dotting time of blood. It ap pears to enter the chemistry in Its flrat phases and to hurry it along. Shop Hubbard's First!
