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.

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

would be gone. 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). Dr. Alvarez has pre
pared a booklet on this subject
which you may obtain by send
ing 25 cents and a sclf-address-cd,

request for it to Dr. Walter C.

Neuberger Cites
Milk Radioactivity
In Plea for Treaty
A. 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.

Father of Dionnes
Stung by Article
CALLANDER, Ont. (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.
