FRIDAY. Jaycees to Install Car Seat Belts Operation Scat Belt III, spon sored by the Medford Junior Chamber of Commerce, will be held Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 21 and 22, in the Shop ping Center parking lot behind Newberry 8 store. Hours announced for the free installation of scat belts are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. Car owners will be offered the scat belts at a nominal price with the installation without charge, to be arranged by the Medford organization. Announcing the project, the Junior Chamber of Commerce listed a scries of reasons wny "smart drivers use seat belts. The list leads with the en dorsement of the American Medical association, the U.S. Public Health Service, Nation al Safetv Council and others. Under the "why" of installing seat belts, the sponsors give three reasons: "they contribute to driving comfort and pleas ure. They save lives and they reduce injuries by more than one third.

MS The Medical or Yearly Physical Check-up At the last meeting of the American Medical Association in Atlantic City, Dr. Thomas M. Peery, Lhiei ot Path ology at George Wash ington Univcr sity School of M e d i cine, in Wash! ngton, D.C., set up a special labora tory which gave a free examina- Alvarei UOn 10 I.SW OI the attending physicians. About 4 out of 5 showed some abnor mality in their blood or urine. Many had more than one ab normal finding. In a number of cases, the finding did not indi cate active disease then present, but it certainly could warn the physician to get checked again within six months or a year, and perhaps in the meantime to go on a reduction diet, and take off a lot fat. A total of 17 analyses were performed on material from each doctor including tests of blood chemistry, analysis of urine, blood counts, and a look at the blood cells. Most ot the doctors were men between the ages of 30 and 65. The commonest abnormality found (in 13.9 per cent) was too much serum cholesterol. Such a finding could make it easier for the doctor to get a heart attack. In the cases of 174 of the doctors, the increase in the level of cholesterol was so mark ed that the man concerned had to be warned to cut down on the amount of animal fat in his diet. Blood Sugar Found Some 21 per cent of the doc tors had a measurement of blood sugar which was suspici ously high, and which suggested that someday the man might get diabetes, especially if he did not start dieting. Some 21.6 per cent of the doctors showed an elevated blood uric acid, which suggested that someday they might gel an attack of gout. Thirteen per cent of the doc tors had an elevated blood urea nitrogen, which suggested a fail ing kidney function. The important point I am try ing to make is that it docs pay to get a yearly check-up and to find out if there are a numoer of danger signals ahead. No Cure In Sight For Common Cold Often I hear people say that if we doctors were worth our salt, we would quickly find a cure for the common cold. For many years, strenuous efforts were made to isolate the "virus that caused" colds; eventually, a few years ago, ways were found of growing "the virus." But then it was discovered that there are some 20 types of viruses that can cause a cold, with a runny nose, a sore throat, some discomfort, a little cough, but usually no fever. Obviously, this multiplicity of viral causes adds tremendously to the difficulty of making a vaccine. Even if we doctors could quickly now make a vac cine to combat every one of the 20-odd viruses, we might not be much better off than we are today because when a man came in with a cold, we would not know which vaccine to give him. It would take sev cral days to "culture the man's throat" to find out which virus was causing his sniffles; and by EM ine lime we Knew inai, we coiaipalion nave been announced. cv .1 1 Roundup Ememui Cnniultant tn Medleln.

Some persons may ask, "But wouldn't it help to know what type virus was causing the colds all over the particular city, at that particu lar time? Possibly yes, but our experience with influenza vi. ruses has shown that by the time our manufacturing drug houses can make much influ enza vaccine A," for the U.S.A., virus B may have taken over. Many Brief Illnesses Persons may then ask, why not make one polyvalent vac cine, which would protect against all of the 20 cold vi ruses? But I understand that the difficulties in the way of doing this are likely to be great. Another difficulty in the way of using vaccine is the fact that there are many brief res piratory illnesses that look like a cold, but are due to some one of another group of viruses, perhaps of the influenza-producing group. Finally, there is another great difficulty, and this is that the viruses of colds do not seem to build up in the human body any great amount of immunity. To illustrate: during the first 30 or 40 years of my life 1 usually had four severe colds a year. This showed clearly that, at least in my body, a cold did not produce any im munity worth talking about. If severe colds do not leave any immunity, a vaccine is not likely to do half as well. Persons who wheeze a good deal when they have a cold and who are abnormally sus ceptible to attacks of bronchitis may later develop pulmonary emphysema (a shortness of breath).

Mark Hatfield Thursday expressed regret at the cancella tion of President Kennedy's scheduled Portland visit. 'I regret the series of cir cumstances which have led to the president's cancellation of his announced visit to Portland.

ROBKRT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON - The level of Strontium 90 in Oregon milk last spring exceeded the per missible level set by an inter national radiol ogy agency. Sen. Maurine Neuberger told the Senate this week in urging ratification of the nuclear test ban tr e a t y. Mrs. Neuberger said there was no way to esti mate the health effects of this amount of radioactive poison and acknowledged that authori ties disagree. But the senator made it plain she sides with those who regard this as a dan gerous risk. Stressing the desirability of protecting the current popula tion and future generations against the dangers of radioac tive fallout from atmospheric explosions, the Oregon senator said: "Somewhere between 50,000 and 200.000 children will be born in the world with gross birth defects, directly attributa ble to fallout from atomic test ing." She called these "conserva five estimates" given to the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee in hearings on the treaty by Mathew Mcselson, a Harvard biology professor representing the Council for a Liveable World. She quoted another witness, Dr. Daniel Dcykin of Boston. representing Physicians for So cial Responsibility, as testify ing that "the total estimated serious genetic defects will be 17 million with about 150.000 expected to occur in the first generation." Leukemia Deaths Seen An estimated 400 American children alone will die of leuke mia this year due to atomic testing, Mrs. Neuberger said. Such estimates, she continued, don't take account of "local hot spots such as in Utah and Ne vada, where radioactive iodine 131 from the Nevada test site appeared in far greater quanti ties than had been previously suspected. In my own citv of Portland, Ore., Strontium 90 lev els in milk in May and June exceeded the 'permissible' level set by the International Com mission on Radiological Protec tion. At this moment the results s- '"- "an B - crjM vv vr in ffs iiwft its fa Kvm V A II fill X.'V I4 ( fill IlViU a Eu&d J .r in y w oy wxw y i OKEGON of these phenomena are beyond estimation." Questioned about this refer ence to Oregon milk, Mrs. Neu berger's office reported that government .sampling of radio activity in foodstuffs revealed 48 picocurics of Strontium 90 in Oregon milk in May and 36 pico curics in June. No figures for July and August are available yet. Cutoff Level The International Commission maintains that 33 picocurics of Strontium 90 should be consid ered the cutoff level for safe human intake, and that greater quantities than that are cause for concern. The Commission, established in 1928, is recognized as authoritative by the World Health Organization. The U. S. government's Fed eral Radiation Council, howev er, disputes this. Composed of representatives of various fed eral agencies, it maintains that 200 picocurics is the maximum safety level and that such "daily intakes averaged over a year are considered an acceptable health risk for large general population groups for a lifetime, compatible with the orderly de velopment of the nuclear indus try of the United States." Sen. Neuberger said the treaty is "no blueprint for disarma ment" and doesn't eliminate the necessity of America remaining militarily strong. "Yet if the only tangible ben efit to be derived from the test ban would be the capping of fu ture atmospheric pollution it will still be a major achieve ment in the history of human auairs," she concluded.

(UPI) -Oliva Dionne, 59-year-old father of the Dionne quintuplets, said Thursday his daughters had held their parents up to public ridicule for financial gain. "If it wasn't for financial gain, what was it for?" he asked after reading a magazine story in which his daughters wrote they had a "painfully unhappy child hood" because of their parents. Dionne said the four surviving quints would be 30 years old next May "and after all these years they suddenly hold us up to public ridicule and dishonor. I really can't understand it." Dionne admitted that he and his wife, who recently cele brated their 38th wedding anni versary, might not have been the best parents. "Undoubtedly we made our mistakes, but our conscience is clear," he said.
