Ashland Council Denies Request for Water Outside City Ashland - Tuesday night's routine Afhiand city council session was enlivened by (harp disagreement when Mrs. David H a g e r baumer's repeated request ior water service was denied. According to Mrs. Hagcr baumer water mains are in front of the property at 200 Crowson rd. but hook-up has been refused because it is out tide the city limits, yet the city has granted water service to the proposed Oak Knoll Development Corp. for 300 residences beyond the city limits. Mrs. Hagcrbaumer asked why consideration is given to a big corporation and denied to an individual. Emmett Whitham, member of the water committee, re plied that "there is a differ ence between an Individual and a corporation," that "the city has an interest In the Oak Knoll development and is spending a lot of money for it," and declared that "the council has an obligation to regulate growth in surround ing areas." Councilman Don Lewis add ed that "our policy has been to deny water, service to prop erty owners outside the city limits. The Oak Knoll agree ment was an exception be cause of its tremendous economic value." In other action, approval given to City Superin tendent Elmer Biegel's request.

Riverside, Medford, Oregon v Bill To Certify Psychologists v Passed in House Salem - WFD - Oregon would join 23 other states where a person must be certified to call himself a psychologist un der a bill passed 52-8 Thurs day by the Oregon House. Rep. C. R. (R-Corvallis) told the house, "We cannot delay or Oregon will become a ha ven for those not allowed in other states." The measure is designed to protect qualified psycholo gists while preventing quacks from fooling the- publ'c by using a psychologist's title. The measure would require a psychologist to have a de gree plus two years of prac tice before he could be certi fied by a board appointed by the governor. ' Returned To Senate The bill must return to the Senate for concurrence in House amendments. , Debate in the House cen tered on the relationship be tween a psychologist, who is not a medical doctor, and a physician or psychiatrist, in the field of psychotherapy. Rep. Morris Crothers (R-Sa-1cm), a doctor, told the House, "This bill does not authorize a psychologist to practice med icine." Rep. Fritzi Chulnard (R Portland), wife of an ortho pedic surgeon, objected to part of the bill. "There is no justification for giving an ancillary group the privilege of getting into practice of medicine through the back door," she said.

Every since the Wasser mann test for syphilis was discovered, some SS years ago. it has been well known that there xare "false posi tives." Some persons who, on routine test ing, are greatly sur prised to receive the re- port of a posi- t i v e Wasser- mann have every reason to believe they never had syph ilis. The situation then is em barrassing for both the patient and physician. ' In some cases, when inten sive treatment causes the test to turn negative, the doctor's hunch is that the person did have syphilis. In other cases, when no amount of treatment changes the test, the situation tends to remain puzzling. In past years, when . this question came up, I referred the patient to an expert who would then have four tests made - a Kline, a Kahn, a Kol-mer-Wassermann, and a Hin ton. Often he could tell from the way the person's blood re acted to these tests, whether he need worry about syphilis. Also, in those many cases in which the patient, in his fif ties or sixties, had a normal spinal fluid with a negative Wassermann - and in which he had never had any symp toms of syphilis, and in which he had received enough treat ment to control the disease (granting that it had ever been present),' the expert urged him to quit worrying and get examined, and that he never take any more treat ment. He probably never had the disease. . Findings Ravitwad In a recent article, Dr. A. M. Harvey of Baltimore re viewed the findings in 192 cases of what looked like false positives. As he said, Dr. J. E. Moore, after much study of the problem, reported his conviction that some 40 per cent of the persons with ques tionable positive Wassermann ACCELERATION VALIANT 5 CHEVY II 3 CORVAIR 3 FALCON 3 RAMBLER B VALIANT CHEVY II Q CORVAIR D FALCON RAMBLER PAA S 1 VV I ATvaxis ride MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. Roundup Imorltai Consultant la Midlcln May Clinic Emtrlta Professor of Medlcla Mayo Clinic (Register ud Tribune. Syndicate, 19C3 tests never had syphilis. The false reactors can be separated into two types, des ignated as acute and chronic. The acute reactions are found in a person who is suffering at the time from malaria, or a rickettsial infection (a Rick ettsia is a tiny parasite often transmitted to man by a tick), a recent vaccination for smallpox, or an atypical pneu monia, or an infectious mon onucleosis, or a peculiar vene real disease called a. lympho granuloma. The people with a chronic false-positive reaction feel well and have no acute illness, and their Wassermann reac tion remains positive for months or years or for a life time. The studies of Dr. Har vey show that sometimes a collagen disease, such as sys temic lupus erythematosus, or rheumatoid arthritis, seems to be the cause of the reaction. In many cases, no explanation can be found. Curiously, in Harvey's se ries, there were i3 women and 49 men. Fourteen of these people have since developed systemic lupus; 43 now have what may be a connective tis sue disorder, and 81 now have some abnormality in the pro teins ( complicated chemicals) in the blood. Not Specific Test One great difficulty with the Wassermann reaction is that it is not a specific test for syphilis; by a strange acci dent, it Just happens to be pos itive in nearly all cases of syphilis arid negative in near ly all cases in which there is no syphilis.. The Kline, the Kahn, and the Hinton, all share in this defect. Fortu nately, at last we have a test that is specific for syphilis, and this now shows that a high percentage of the per sons who bad no history of every having had anything like syphilis, or ever having been exposed to the infection, never had it; their positive Wasserman test was wrong. If, today, a person finds that he has a positive Wassermann, with no history to suggest that it is due to syphilis, he would do well to go to some large clinic, or to the laboratory ot his State Health Department, or to a big university labora tory, and ther? to have the special test made - which is specific for syphilis, and nothing elBe.

Missouri Approves Anti-Poll Tax Act Washinglon-OIPH - Missouri Thursday became the 34th state to approve the anti-poll tax amendment, but there was only a slim chance that four more states would ratify the measure and make It part of the U.S. Constitution this year. But the outlook for obtain ing final approval of the 24th Amendment to the Constitu tion in January was consider ed excellent. Sen. Spessard L. Holland (D-Fla.), chief sponsor of the amendment to ban the poll tax In federal elections, said he was confident the remain ing states needed to reach the required 38 or three-fourths would ratify before their legislatures adjourn this year.
