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." To obtain your copy,
send 25 cents and a stamped,
self-addressed envelope with
your request to Dr. Walter C.

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.

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.

Eugene - The success of
American cultural programs
offered abroad will be pro
portionate to the extent to
which Americans incorporate
into their daily lives a true
belief in cultural values, ac
cording to the final report
adopted by a Pacific North
west Assembly which con
cluded at the University of
Oregon Sunday.
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. Expansion of the two-way
flow of tourism by middle
and lower income groups.
9. Support to cooperative pro
grams for training young
leaders for dynamic democ

-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

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.
