WASHINGTON (UPI) - A
soon io be published chapter
in the story of krebiozen may
determine the fate of the pur
ported "anti cancer" serum.
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.

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.

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.

The society hopes "One Way

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

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.

a wolf, this was supposed to
