The chapter is due in mid-September. For many weeks a team of 22 scientists recruited by t h e National Institute of Health (NIH), and its National Cancer institute (NCI) has been mak ing a painstaking review of 508 case histories of cancer pa tients treated with krebiozen. The scientists will report wheth er a full-scale test of the serum is warranted. On the basis of their report, Treasurer Escapes Injury in Accident County Treasurer Karl L. Ja nouch, Old Stage rd., Central Point, escaped injury Friday morning when his pickup truck turned over near the intersection of Beall lane and Sunyvale dr. Janouch told Oregon state po lice, who investigated the acci dent, that he was eastbound on Beall lane about 7:15 a.m. when another vehicle pulled out in front of him from a side road. In an attempt to miss the other car Janouch cut sharply to the left, causing his vehicle to turn over. In an accident investigated by state police Thursday afternoon, two vehicles, driven by Kathleen Ruth Smith, 17, of 1015 Whitman ave., and William Arthur Hen son, 27, of 112 Ash St., Central Point, collided at the intersec tion of South Oakdale ave. and Stewart ave. Kathleen Smith was cited by state police for failure to yield the right of way. Local Men Enlist In U.S. Navy Here A number of local men enlisted in the U. S. Navy through the Medford recruiting office during August.

Capper Johnson, professor of international affairs at Lewis and Clark college, Portland, and well - known Northwest United Nations leader and commenta tor on international affairs, will deliver the traditional opening convocation address at Linfield college Sept. 19. Freshmen will arrive at Lin field Sept. 14 and start registra tion Sept. 16. Other students will register Sept. 18. Most of them have pre - registered in the spring. The facilities of the campus are ready tor the new year, including the home eco nomics department addition to Potter Hall. Seven new faculty and staff members will be on campus. Two professors will return to the faculty after leaves of ab sence, i critical of the government for banning interstate shipments. They plead that the drug is their lifeline. Without it, they are con vinced, they will sutler untold agony and die. Deeply troubled government officials respond that Durovic and Ivy had deliberately made the drug ineligible for shipment outside Illinois. They say that if doctors would comply with t h c drug law, the ban automatical ly would be lifted.

The law, written in the wake of last year's thalidomide baby deforming tragedy, requir e d manufacturers to file with FDA detailed plans for continued in vestigation of experimental drugs.

(UPI) By FREDERICK H. TREES1I United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) - A cler gyman looked out of his sixth floor office onto the milli n g noon hour crowd on Madison ave. and then turned thought fully away from the window. "I have the feeling I have something with which I can communicate with them," he said, holding aloft a strikingly illustrated paperback book. The book is entitled O n e Way for Modern Man." Its text is the Gospel of John in the modern English of the J. B. Phillips translation of the Bible. The American Bible society just published the daringly mod ern approach to the scripture in hopes of making the Bible appealing to people who do not usually read it. "Our main concern is to ar rest the reader attenlion of the non -religiously oriented seg ments of the population who would not normally pick up a dark heavy Bible," said t h e Rev. Dr. Arthur P. Whitney, ex ecutive secretary of the Bible society. Aimed at Young People The society hopes "One Way lieved in the name of the only begotten son of God. And this is the condemnation Wolves Hurt People Only In Fairy Tales and Books The "Three Little Pigs" of the nursery rhyme had justifi cation for feeling insecure when the wolf came huffing at their door, for a hungry wolf enjoys fresh young pork. Even a casual acquaintance with pigs or wolves would indicate that, hut the nursery rhymers could not let well enough alone. They went off on a tangent when re counting the adventures of the little girl with the red cloak and her grandmother. All of which brings us to a rather strange commentary on human nature in this world of enlightenment between nursery rhymes and fact. The hard boiled, sophisticated, modern- day human would be pretty in- believed a civilized community where such dangerous creatures as wolves will never come. Such stories are entertaining and ex citing, but they are figments of someone's over-active imag ination. Three Little Pigs A wolf might have given "The Three Little Pigs" a bad time, but neither little Red Riding Hood, nor her grandmother had anything to fear from a wolf . ... or a wnlfpack, either. Wolves just don't seem to like people. It's pretty difficult to find a single case where a man was ever attacked by one of these animals, unless the crea ture was hurt, wounded, or its pups threatened. Then it would he justified. Otherwise, it just doesn t happen, tracted from the blood of horse. The powder is dissolved in mineral oil and the mixture willing to send it (krebiozen) out to just any physicians."

This condition had been re jected by NCI, according to tes timony given by its former di rector, Dr. J. R. Heller, more than a year ago before a house appropriations subcommittee. We felt there would have to be a completely impartial com mittee, and not a proponent who would call the shots, as it were, on this particular compound," Heller explained. But Ivy maintains that "we i ments submitted to the While House, and the placards they carried, the demontrators pe titioned for an executive order which would assure them of un interrupted supplies of krebio zen.

Ammunition Gone We have all read stories of the wild wastelands where the wolfpack trails people, just waiting until they are too tired or weak to fight off the hurigry beasts. Pretty glowing are the descriptions the savage ani mals waiting lust at tne edge of the light cast by the camp- 'ire. The people their ammuni tion gone, their strength wan ing, their only weapon an ax, but with the determination to fight it out make the beasts pay dearly'. The word picture was as exciting as it was false. It didn't happen. Of course, what you have al ways believed in you will con tinue to believe. You may even resent the contradiction. For whoever you arc, if you have read the stories, you have been indoctrinated with the belief that the wolfpack was an ever present danger in wild, snowy wastelands. Lonely Cabins We read of frightened people in lonely cabins, when the win ter snows and cold hold the world in an icy grip, and the animals of the wild are hun gry, dangerous and ever pres ent. Those poor folks lock their doors when they hear the wild hunting call of Ihe wolfpack coming ever closer and closer. They listen, as Ihe calls come from first one direction then another, meaning of course that Ihe animals are surrounding the lonely cabin and the de fenseless humans. Even if you had never seen a wolf, this was supposed to give you the heebie-jeebies and make you thankful' you live in California Senate Group Plans Session SACRAMENTO - The Senate fact - finding committee on transportation and public utili ties will meet Sept. 10 at the State Building auditorium in San Francisco to begin interim studies on the problems of air port development in California, according to Sen.
