MONDAY. Creamery Burns Af Junction City JUNCTION CITY, Ore. (UPI) Fire which started when a truck backed into a gasoline pump destroyed the Junction City Creamery Saturday. Manager A. R. Christensen es timated the loss at $150,000. A Junction City Fire Depart ment official said firemen an swered the alarm at 9:10 a.m., and had the blaze under con trol, when an underground stor age tank filled with 650 gallons of gasoline exploded. The blast sprayed gasoline over a portion of the building and reignlted the structure. Also destroyed were an at tached boiler room, garage and a delivery truck. One fireman was treated for minor injuries. The structure was built in 1929. when the first creamyery buiiding was destroyed by fire. VICIOUSLY SELECTIVE STOCK 8 A The stock market, as measured by the familiar Dow-Jones average oi w industrial slocks, was within whispering distance of its all-time high at the Labor Day week end. That's what the index said, for it was only five points under the historic peak of 734.91, touched on Dec. 13, 1961. But that's not what most of the 30 stocks in this index said. Far from it. Only six of the 30 stocks were near or at new peaks on the weeneiiu wnun in wan aireet (.nrysler. General Motors, International Harvester, Scars, Roe buck, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Texaco. Less than a handful of others were approaching peaks reached on various dates between 1958 and 1961 American Telephone, American Can, DuPont, Standard Oil of California. Most of the stocks in this average are way below their all time highs. One Anaconda is actually still far under the peak reached in 1929, more than a quarter-century afio. Still, the headlines have been shouting that the stock market has soared close to the historic highs. What does this mean? It means that this is one of the most viciously selective slock markets ever known. Just a few stocks have been pulling the familiar average back from its 1962 low to chal lenge the old peak. It means that never has the sentence, "This is a market of stocks, not 'a stock market'," been more apt. It means that you cannot judge whether an individual stock is highly or cheaply or fairly priced on the basis of a popular average's action nor can you properly judge whether to buy or sen an uiuiviuuHi bujck on uiis oasis. Words cannot be as dramatic as statistics in this instance; so here's a table originally prepared months ago by the "Financial World," updated to show the price history of the 30 Dow-Jones industrials.

This has now been made, and has been found to be practically 100 per cent effective in preventing measles. Only one injection is needed. Many people may say, "But why bother about measles? It isn't much of a disease, and every child has to have it." Actually, few people and even too few of us physicians have realized how often measles has been a very severe and danger ous disease. It can be followed by a serious pneumonia, and worst of all, it can be followed by brain fever, which can pro duce mental crippling. Doubt less if we were to investigate ind get the facts, we physicians could trace many such crip plings back to an attack of en cephalitis following measles, Measles can also be very dan gerous to a child who has had a mild form of smouldering tU' berculosis, because it can cause the tuberculosis to flare up and do great Harm I recently read that 50 per cent of all children who have measles show some involvement of the brain as evidenced by a temporarily abnormal electro. encephalogram (record of the tiny electric currents constantly being produced in the brain). Fortunately, in the great ma jority of these cases, the fact that in 10 days or a few weeks the encephalogram changes back to normal and shows that the brain fever was mild and self-limited. In only a few cases is there serious and permanent damage. Died of Complication In some countries, records show that one in 20 of the chil dren who got measles died of some complication of it. In some parts of Africa in which the peo ple have little immunity to mea sles, the disease accounts for 50 per cent of the infant mor tality. In the old days, when the islands of the South Seas were being discovered, thou sands of the grown natives died from measles. They had no im munity to it. In Asia the disease was well described about 900 A.D. In this country thousands of the American Indians were carried away by it. About 1905, the American pathologist, Lud wig Hcktocn, showed that the disease was probably due to a virus, and this hunch was prov ed correct in 1911. In 1938 and 1939 some men tried to make a vaccine, but the science of virology was then not sufficiently advanced, and so they failed. Fortunately, in 1954 the technic used in growing viruses was so greatly improved that hopes arose that soon a good vaccine could be pro duced. Now, both killed and live vac cines have been produced and tested on tens of thousands of children. The live vaccine should give a lifetime of protection against measles. So far, with its use, there has been no symp tom or sign of any involvement of the brain. Also, there have been no secondary infections such as those that produce pneu monia. Cun t Start Epidemic Very reassuring is the fact that when a child has been giv en the live vaccine, and reacts with a mild measles-like dis ease, he does not give measles to the susceptible children around him, and hence there is no chance for the vaccine to start an epidemic. On receiving the vaccine, a child can develop what looks like I a iiiuu m...m , a slight, non-distressing fever, ...i.l iinfttmiD n clinlit ruth lit order to avoid the discomfort o( unti n.Mio o ":" , ' , 1 such a mild reaction, some pnjSH.-IHMS UIK". uv K,v,K , , , j virus vaccine which will so raise the child's resistance that wnen ine live virus ,s K ' will not cause any ensue.-. - other method used to avoid he mild reaction is to give the live vaccine together w.th some gamma globulin.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington With the October deadline approaching for expiri ation of the exemption from the Jones act lor Nnrthwpst llim- ber shipments to Puerto Rico, i Sen. Warren G. J Magnuson (D- troduced legis lation to contin ue this exemp tion in the tu- a uuhL. smim "". " ""si- nal exemption bill, sponsored by Sen. Maurine B. Neuberger (D Ore.) and enacted by Congress last year, permits American lumber companies to use for eign vessels to ship cargo lum ber to Puerto Rico, contrary to the Jones act which bans use of foreign ships for commerce between various American ports. In approving the bill, Con gress however put this exemp tion on a trial basis for a year and unless it is extended it will expire Oct. 23. Since Pureto Rico was once a good market for American lum ber, but in recent years became a monopoly market for Canada because British Columbia mills companies have been trying to regain a foothold there.

Shiftless Cowbird Cares Not Where Eggs Are Laid Even the most devoted bird lover must look with disfavor at the cowbird, for it practices one of the most flagrant decep tions in nature; actually it is a feathered Judas, and the baby of this hoax is a pin-feathered fraud. Even the very young of the cowbird begin to weave the tangled web of deceit as soon as they are hatched: it tricks its foster parents and makes a monkey of the ones that makes its birth possible. The female cowbird never builds a nest. She is one of the most shiftless of birds, spend ing all her time with a number of her own kind, flying through the woods and fields without a serious thought of home making. Her mate is as shiftless as she. He cares nothing for a home, or a family either. He doesn't even sing. He goes along with the flock and has no more conscience than his cal lous mate Slips Away When what passes for the mating season arrives in the cowbird clan, and the honest, industrious birds build nests, and begin to raise families, the cowbird lakes note of it. She s,jps aw.,y ,,., (ne f,ock- nd .hums up a nest made bv a j pair o( smalu,r binls wn,.blrrs . . preiernuly, and waits until eggs are present.

Pushes From NeM The day soon comes when the young Judas deliberately push es one or more of the smaller and weaker warbler basics out ol (he nest. The following day MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, of Time For Puerto Rican Shipments Sought Northwest lumber has been shipped to Puerto Rico since fall as a result, with more in pros pect. Progress Made "Some progress has been made in this direction," said Magnuson, "but the firm grip of the Canadian sawmills on the vast Atlantic Coast and Puerto Rican market has only been scratched." Sen Neuberger isn't content Pendleton Starts Roundup Week ' PENDLETON, Ore -(UPD-The 52nd annual Pendleton Roundup begins officially Wed- nesday, but it already is under way for many residents of the city. Roundup Week began Satur day night with a Dress-Up Pa rade through the downtown area. A cowgirl's playday pro- gram at the Roundup Grounds included barrel racing, break away calf roping and pole bend ing events. A concert by the U.S. Army Field Band and the annual Cow bov Shuffle topped the week end activities. Queen Kelly McCormach will reign over this year's celebra tion, which lasts through this Saturday. Rodeo performers are scheduled eacn aiternoon oegin ning Wednesday, with the Hap py Canyon Indian payeant eacn evening. Smallpox Outbreak Reported in Cuba MIAMI (UPI) A smallpox outbreak believed introduced from Poland has hit Cuba, ac cording to Luis Conte Aguero, leader of a Cuban anti-Castro refugee information organiza tion. Conte Aguero, representing the "Sentinels of Liberty" reported to operate an information net work inside Cuba, said certain floors have been set aside in the naval and police hospitals of Havana to treat smallpox cases.

A day or so later he will repeat the pushing procedure, and another baby warbler will tumble to the ground, where it will probably be killed by the impact, or fall prey to some hungry predator. Soon the rightful children are all gone. The still unsuspecting war bler parents have been victi mized by a wily cowbird. Inno cently, they have supplied food to an impostor who has grown to be bigger than they. Yet, even now they don't realize how they have been fooled. They don't realize they have slaved to raise a family, and have only one member left, and that one a "black sheep," that has no love for them And after they teach this Ju das in pin-feathers the secret of flight, he will callously fly away from this unhappy home without a thought of apprecia tion, or a backward glance.

She regards that as only a first step toward giv ing Northwest lumber shippers competitive equality in all the big Atlantic Coast ports which are more important markets than Puerto Rico. Last March Mrs. Neuberger introduced a bill that would not only extend the Puerto Rican ex emption but broaden it to cover any American ports or terminal areas. She said this would open the way to using cheaper ships, if American ships are not com petitive, that would cut the cost of getting green lumber to At lantic Coast porta by from $10 to $30 a thousand board feet.

The domestic lumber industry blames this on the high er cost of domestic ships which the Jones act requires them to use. They want the Jones act repealed outright, but it has many defenders in Congress who claim its repeal would des troy the American merchant marine.

But Southern lumbermen have protested this move because they regard Northwest lumber men as their competitors, and they fear any easing of the Jones act would hurt their east ern markets for Southern pine. Focal Point Magnuson's Senate Commerce Committee is the focal point of all this. To placate Southern sen ators, Magnuson permitted hear ings on the issue in the South this past spring. Sen Strom Thurmond (D-S. C.) conducted them and gathered abundant testimony which indicated the South would fight any new leg islation to help the Northwest.
