The Medical Roundup - by ft rmniiii C.nn Emeritus Consultant In MadJetna .Mayo runic Emeritus Professor of Medicine Mayo Clinic (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1363) Hair Spray Appatantly Safe Of late, several women have written in alarm because they heard that hair sprays were injuring people's lungs. Now these women will be re lieved to hear that in a news release from the American Medical association, it is said that a study by a number of able physicians showed no evidence that hair sprays are doing harm. Polio Vaccine I recently received a release from the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Wel fare at Bet lies da, Aid., in which they announce that a new live oral Sabin type of polio vaccine is now being marketed. It immunizes to all three polio viruses of types 1, 2, and 3. This represents a great advance. The new vaccine has been extensively tested, and has been found to reduce resis tance to the disease in at least 90 per cent of the children who had two doses, eight weeks apart. Certainly, there is no excuse now for mothers to let their children go with out protection from polio. Drugs for Arthritis Several physicians have re cently reported that the drug chloroquine, the synthetic antimalarial drug which is often taken, perhaps for a year or more as a treatment for arthritis (or lupus), can se riously injure the retina, the seeing part of the eye. In a few cases the person has developed, first, night blindness, and later, complete blindness. The cause of these bad effects on the eyes is not yet known. It is very impor tant that this possible bad ef fect be known, because the drug is now being so widely used. Unfortunately, two other drugs used to help arthritics have also been found to injure the eyes, even when they have been used for only a few months. Sometimes "colitis" means only nervousness. For infor mation about this disease, in flammation of the colon, read Dr. Alvarez' booklet, "Co litis."

TAYLOP. ROAD ,, - . 4- v n 1 - I ROSS LANE mmmmmmmmmm- Proposed boundaries of West Side Water District shown in heavy lines. The undersigned persons, who reside within the boundaries of the proposed West Side Water District, unalterably oppose the forma tion of such a district on the basis of the boundaries presently pro posed. Here are our reasons: 1. We desire to maintain our properties in their present condition, devoted to horticultural and agricultural purposes. We have no inten tion nor desire to sub-divide these properties for residential use. 2. We firmly believe that the rich soil of this portion of the Rogue River Valley included in the proposed water district should be used for horticultural and agricultural purposes rather than residential purposes. 3. To date, those who are sponsoring the proposed West Side Water District have failed to offer any constructive or definite plan for the inplementation of the proposed water project. No statement has been givan as to organization and use cost of water. There has been no assurance or indication that any water from Medford or any other source will be available to the West Side Water District if formed nor has there been an indication as to the course the officers and directors of the district would follow.

Cultural Programs Abroad Discussed at American Assembly Freeway Route Being Considered Gresham (UPD Two alter nate routes for Interstate Freeway 205 have been pro posed and will be considered by the State Highway com mission in public hearings in September or October. Victor D. Wolfe, adminis trative assistant of the High way department made the announcement Monday to the Gresham Chamber of Com merce. The newest proposal has the highway leaving Inter state 5 at the Marquam bridge in downtown Portland and extending easterly to SE 111th ave., and then norther ly along a line considered in an alternate proposal, to a crossing of the Columbia river. The other plan calls for the highway to leave Interstate 5 south of the Tualatin river, cross1 the Willamette river south of the Luke Oswego city limits and continue northeasterly, also to SE 111th ave. It has been op posed by a group of citizens and the mayor of the Lake Oswego community. Wolfe emphasized neither route has precedence at this time.

The report was the con sensus of the 60 community leaders from the Northwest who attended the four-day meeting which was co-spon-sbred by the university and the American Assembly at Columbia university. The Assembly discussed the prob lem of "Cultural Affairs and Foreign Relations." After pointing out the fact that American movies and other cultural expressions seen abroad are frequently of low cultural content, the par ticipants agreed that it was unlikely that a higher level of American culture would be seen abroad until the mass of Americans themselves make known a preference for higher culture. No Successful Propagation "There can be no sucessful propagation - of a faith with out a deep conviction of its worth," the Assembly report concluded. The Assembly favored an expansion of cultural ex changes with Communist countries. "Existing cultural exchang es with the Soviet Union ap pear lo be contributing to moderating the strained re lations with that country," the report noted. "Ameri cans should also be receptive to all possibilities for open ing the channels of commun ication with mainland China, despite unproductive efforts to date." The group also urged the federal government In pay more attention tn the arts, and recommended the estab lishment of a new national cultural foundation compar able in function lo the Na tional Science Foundation. Suggest New Status The report also recom mended that U. S. State De partment cultural affairs of ficers should have status, authority and access to U. S. ambassadors comparable to political and economic offic ers. Private organizations should have a major role in bring vitality, variety, and wide participation to cultural programs, the report contin ued. Other items of high pri ority listed in the report are: 1. Programs which promote the concept of freedom under law. 2. Increased dissemination abroad of information on re search and development. 3. Expansion of trade and industrial fairs to illustrate low-cost business appropriate to newly - developing coun-: tries. j 4 Increased exchanges in the fields of art, including the performing arts. j 5. Establishment of adequate i libraries and lectureships ; abroad in American studies 1 and American history. j 6. Facilitation of wider inter-! national use of the tapes of good radio and television programs and good movies. 7. Creation of opportunities and facilities abroad for the study of journalism, t.

Riverside 772-9081 -exceeds world's land speed record using special Shell turbine fuel 1 Craig Brccdlovc and his jet-powered "Spirit of America" at llonucvdlc I lots, Utah. Shell supplied high-energy turbine fuel also special lubricants Bonneville Flats, Utah Craig Breedlove has driven faster than any man in history. Here's his story. Why he insisted on Shell products. Why Shell helped him and what it means to you. The "Spirit of America," a bullet shaped three-wheeled vehicle, has just become the first car to average more than 395 mph. The driver: Craig Brccdlovc. lodax, at age 26, lie is the nslcjt imi on wheels. Several linns helped him, including the Shell Oil Company. But, as he flashed over the salts ol Bonneville, the victory was all his. An amazing vehicle The engine of his racer was originally built lor military jet planes. At low speeds, Brccdlovc steers using the nose wheel in the front of the car. At high speeds, he can also use a rudder under the nose, (see picture above), lor high speed braking, Breedlove uses an 8-loot drag parachute that bilious out behind the car and slows him down. The fuel that powered Craig Breed loves car is an innovation, too. Its name: Shell I IMP Turbine I'ucl. This fuel was created by Shell Research lo hasten the development of jet engines for the tri-sonic aircraft you'll be riding in the luture. Craig Breedlove contacted Shell on his ;' .Breedlove's speed -as an nrlicial world record ply i is Mihiett lo confirmation by the Federation In . 4- lerndlionale Motutyclixe. ini.e this event wa -t- ; hlri n.l-r .. ndmilinnil XnnrMrW I OIlK. own initiative before his car was ever built. Merc's why in his own words: "I ve hecn building racers ever since I was 14. And I've used Shell products in every car I vc ever raced. They've served nic well. I insisted on Shell products he cause 1 knew I could depend on them." Two tough problems Here's how Shell helped Breedlove with two ol his toughest problems. 1. The hi'jj problem was "tnit;" or air friction. As Brccdlovc approached 400 mph, air whipped over his car al around live times the speed ol a hurricane. Breed love needed lots ol power lo overcome this friction. Shell's answer: Shell I IMF Turbine Fuel. It packs more potential energy lor its weight than any aircralt turbine fuel now available. 2. I lent from lirecdlnvc's disc brakes could easily melt vital wheel bearing, grease. Fvcn at relatively "low" speeds under 1 50 miles per hour the brake discs can become red-hot. Pcsuli: wheel bear ings could be hot enough to make con ventional greases melt and dribble out. Shell's answer: one of Shell's Micro gel'4 greases. These remarkable new greases have no ie(ii;g jjoim at all. They were made possible by Shell's discovery of an entirely new kind of thickening agent a non-soup thickener. Six different Shell products were used to help Breedlove exceed the land speed record. note: Shell has worked with many record holders. Enzo Ferrari, world famous "father of modern motor rac ing," is a notable example. Shell gaso line and oil go into aU racing Ferraris, "li world championships have been the result of this happy association," says Ferrari. Shell is always ready and eager to make new ideas work. That's really why Shell can offer you such good products for your car today. . j . -
