(UPI) Exams Scheduled I For Academies The competitive examination for nomination to the U.S. Air Force, Merchant Marine, Mili tary, and Naval academies will be held in ?.;edford, Ashland and Grants Pass on Wednes day, Nov. 9, Sen. Maurine B. Neu berger has announced in a re port recently. The purpose of the examina tion is to provide an objective testing method to aid Senators and Representatives in the se lection of nominees to the four academies. Qualified young men who are seeking a nomination should write to Senator Neu berger or other members of the Oregon Congressional dele g a tion for authorization to take the test. The climate in New Mexico ranges from that of Hudson Bay to that of New Orleans because of a vast difference in the state s elevations. 010 SUNNY BBOOK OlSt CO llWtllt KV KfNTUEKY s L3JJlL, the mild, smooth whiskey for modern tastes People with a taste for today's good living-people live you like Sunny Brook.

As it wheezed and chugged through the streets with one fireman pumping oil into ihe engine and one operating the I screaming siren, it was a sight for the people to see. The siren operator, llaiold Kingery, fell from the fender as they rounded a corner and suf fered an injury to his knee. He was taken to the Rogue Val ley hospital; after treatment, he returned home in time to at tend the dance. The ball itself proved to be a great success and sppro mately $200 was added to the Firemen's fund. A public library book may reach about 250 persons in it's usable lifetime.

J hat's more. J they have many ' i another medi cmal miracle in Dfioi smith in the chemical works. They revealed their hopes and plans at the 145th na tional meeting of the American Chemical Society. In effect they were rejoicing over their in creasing ability to "t a i 1 o r" chemical molecules whichever way they wish, including mole cules derived directly from na ture. Such a molecule is that of penicillin, an anti - bacterial product of fungi. Miraculous as it has been in fighting the bac terial infections of human be ings, it has a number of defects from the human view point. These are now being rapidly corrected by the medicin a 1 chemists. When put into people the nat ural penicillin molecules are eliminated quickly. That's a de fect. They're not stable in body chemistry, which is another. They're not effective stoppers of many kinds of people - sick ening bacteria and one kind of especially virulent bacteria now routinely produces an enzyme which renders the penicillin molecule powerless. Dr. John C. Sheehan of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, Cambridge, Mass., re ported to a symposium that medicinal chemists were well changing the penicillin molecule about so it will be the bacteria killer without defect. They're doing it by adding materials foreign to fungi to the fermentation broths in which fungi are making the molecules. They're also changing the mole cules after the fungi have made them. Still more import ant they're learning how to make the complete molecule entirely on their own which means they will eventually "tailor" it as they please. Dr. Fred W. Schueler of Tu- lane university, New Orleans, who was chairman of the sym posium, summarized all that's going on in medicinal chemis try thus: "Operating from the broad and deep bases ot modern chemistry and pharmacology. which are rooted in the enor mous informational and techni cal resources of a score of other sciences, there has evolved a new methodology, molecul a r X--m ATl I i Iliir WlUlUfi Hill BOTH SStrt $4.80 $3.05 Pint SUNNY BROOK sunxy BROOK WTXWAV 14 KAON ?! if. MEDFORD modification, that is of the pro foundest importance to all man kind." The techniques of "molecular modification" have been devel oping for the past 25 years. In that time they have produced more useful medicines than were produced in all of man's previous history. But what has been done will appear small in the face of the wonders to come. Achievements Noted Dr. Lawrence P. Garrod. em eritus professor of bacteriology at the University of London, who presided over the first tests of the penicillin molecule in human beings sick from bac terial infections, spoke of what the medicinal chemists have so far achieved against man-sickening bacteria and of what they still must do. "Most specific infections are now well under control," he said. "These include not only those communicable from man to man but those derived from animal sources in which no op portunities exist for acquired microbic resistance. "On the other hand, there may actually have been an in crease in nonspecific infections because of 'opportunist' bac teria which are resistant to most anti - bacterial agents. Many chronic, as distinct from acute, infections are also still unamenable to treatment." Methodisf Men Attend Assembly During Week End Ten Medford men attended the eighth annual Methodist Men's Assembly at Salem Fri day, Saturday and Sunday. An attendance award was pre sented to C. R. Adamson for being present at all eight ses sions and John Kent received a citation for attendance at four sessions. Others attending from Medford were Walter iliggins, Floyd Wisely, Lester Lollis, Ev erett Faber, Robert France, Charles Thompson, Dr. George Roseberry and Ray Neptune. The conference explored the theme, "Religion in the Age of Scientific Technology." As keynote speaker Dr. Donald W Stotler, science supervisor of the Portland public schools and recipient of numerous decora tions and awards in the field of science, said, "In this age of highly specialized effort too often specialists in one field are not fully aware of progress in even closely related fields. We need to find ways to coordinate progress in social, educational, religious and scientific areas, for they all are parts of our way of life." Other scientists and religious leaders participating in the dis cussions included Dr. Lee B. Lusted, senior stientist at the Oregon Regional Primate Re search center at Beaverton, pro fessor of radiology at the Uni versity of Oregon Medical school, and professor of engi neering at Oregon State univer sity; Dr. Ellis B. Jump, head of the department of anatomy at University of Oregon Dental school; Dr. Raymond E.

Mrs. Austin has been linked with Ford in press reports since the automobile magnate an nounced his separation irom his present wife earlier this summer. II Giorno reporter Gi ordano B.

On the night of the show, the two trainers showed up with their beautifully trained pooches but at sight of each other the dogs bristled and began growling ominously. "What's the trouble?" de manded the producer. "Don't they like each other?" "Like each other!" echoed one of the trainers. "They aren't even speaking!"

They stashed it out of sight for months until some friends also planned a trip to the altar. They then sent the cheese cutter back to the storo whence it had come, asking1 for a rush job in having the monogram changed. Alas! The store replied by wire: "Monogram already removed so many times impossible to do it again."
