(UPI)-Mail order land sales and consumer protection are up for discussion at the Western Conference of j Attorneys General here. The question of whether to elect or appoint state legal chiefs topped discussion Mon day. "It is just as logical to allow the governor to appoint an at torney general as to allow a private individual to employ his own legal counsel," Atty. Gen. Allan G. Shepard of Idaho con tended in support of appoint ment. However, John J. O'Conncll of Washington state, president of the National Association of At torneys General, warned ap pointment instead of election could take away one of the im portant checks and balances in state government. SECTION B PACES 1 to 12 Medford Tribune MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1963 rl Lay Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 5963) Soothe Your Aching Feet With Sifted Spider Ashes? Well now. it's back to the primitive, back to the slippery elm bark, sassafras tea, mus tard plasters, salt pork, common salt, turpentine, and all the many low-cost, home remedies our grandmothers used for the relief of the common cold. We figured we had it made, that the common cold had near ly been erased by antibiotics to the limbo of the dodo bird. But not so says no lesser an author ity than the federal Food and Drug Administration who have put the skids under about half a hundred of the so-called sure cures and the misery accom panying the common colds by stating that the wonder drugs are not so wondertui alter an. "Antibiotics contained in those medicines have no effect what soever on the common cold," they say. Folklore Medicine Of course just about every body that has had a cold and tried the "cures" knew all this a long time ago, but we kept on taking them to the tune of about two billion dollars a year. That should have cured some thing, but it didn't. So now it's up to us to separate the folklore medicine from the superstition, for at times they sort of ran together, but perhaps some had a little merit. There was one very good thing about grandmother's medicines: Among (he responsibilities of Leslie W. Lingscheil, area operator dispatcher, is control of the power flow out of Lone Tine substation, helping to assure that the PP&L electric system serving Jackson County is operating at peak efficiency. One more reason why PP&L electric service is today's biggest value... $2I,000,000 in Jackson County Construction Since 1953 Assures You of Dependable Electric Service! The PP&L electric system that serves you at home and on the job grows year by year to meet the growing electric needs of Jackson County. This year still another $1,500,000 is being spent to strengthen and expand electric facilities here. With PP&L on the job, you can be sureof plenty of dependable electricity for modern living today and in the years to come. Pacific Power & Light Company Your Partner in Jackson County Progress! they didn't cost much and they couldn't hurt you. Her wonder cure for a sore throat was a thin slice of salt pork on which was sprinkled a film of black pepper. The peppered side of the pork was placed against the ailing throat and held in place with a flannel cloth. Some housewives of the old school used lard. The potency of the lard could be increased by the addition of a few drops of turpentine. Houses were orettv cold back in grandmother's time. Whether that was the reason is beside the point, but serious chest colds were common. The suggested remedy in extreme cases was an onion poultice. A mess of onions was cooked until mushy, then bound in a cloth sack and placed on the ailing chest while still as hot as the patient could endure. Again the flannel cloth cov ered the entire mess, and the patient, smelling to high heaven, was put to bed. A more drastic method, but not as smelly, was a mustard plaster. The patient was com fortable for a little while until the mustard began to blister the skin, then, to get the full measure of relief, he ripped off the burning poultice and endur ed the chest cold In lessened comfort. At least the blister did not result in any side effects, neither did he develop an al lergy. Spider Ashes A couple of drops of camphor or turpentine in a spoonful of sugar was thought to be helpful. Sassafras tea, sipped hot and in generous amounts, would drive out the chill from a body. Slippery-elm bark had its fol lowers. Sage tea or a strong, hot, solution of ginger, steeped in water, sent the blood cours ing. Grandmother always claimed that the wearing of red flannel underwear would keep one from catching cold, but once the cold started, she resorted to home remedies. There was a thin borderline between folk - medi cine and superstition, and she readily slipped over into the lal ter. She maintained that swal lowing a live spider would cure a fever. And spiders were good in other areas too. sne sain a "spider burned and the ashes sifted into the shoes, would help aching feet." Of course that was pure superstition, but she had faith and most of her family sur vived and there wasn't an anti biotic in the place. Maurine Neuberger Claimed Target of 'Concerted Venom1 WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen. Maurine B. Neuberger (D-Ore.) said Tuesday she had been sub jected to a campaign of "con certed venom" for suggesting withdrawal of tax exemption for the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution. In a speech prepared for Sen ate delivery, Mrs. Neuberger said she had been attacked with the implication that she was "a Communist, a party to the 'in ternational anti - freedom con spiracy.'

Suspect in Death 01 Twins Jailed ENDERBY, B. C. (UPI) - Royal Canadian Mounted police in this community nave arrestee, a suspect in connection with the brutal slayings of two teen aged twin sisters. The bodies of Diane and Dor ecn Ring, 15-year-old daughters of resort operator Victor Ring, were found Tuesday in bushland one mile from their home at Mabel Lake, 20 miles southeast of Enderby. Police said the umdentiiied suspect would be charged with capital murder, which carries a mandatory death penalty. The girls had been missing since Monday afternoon, after they left a school bus to walk the remaining two miles to their home. Diane's battered body, most of her clothes torn off, was found in bush 50 feet off a gravel road one mile from her home. Doreen's body was found some time later not far from the spot where her sister was killed. Police found a rifle with a broken stock near the scene. The suspect, about 25, was arrested Tuesdny after police kept his car under all night surveillance. Enderby is 30 miles north of Vernon, B. C. and 195 miles northeast of Vancouver. Ghanaian Docfor Requested To Move ABERDEEN, Scotland(UPI)- Six neighbors of a Ghanaian doctor have asked him to vacate his apartment because his mix ed-racial family "lowered the standard of the building." Dr. Kwaafo Saakwa-Mante, a Ghanaian surgeon doing gradu ate study here, had no com ment on the petition. His Eng lish wife, mother of his three children, said "it is the color of my husband s skin that has started this petition. There are a lot of people in Aberdeen who are color-prejudiced." Kennedy Asked To Give Aid To Cuba MIAMI (UPI) - A Cuban refugee organization has ap pealed to President Kennedy to give aid to Cuba, lashed since Friday by killer Hurricane Flo ra. The following cable was sent to the President by the Asso ciation of Relatives for Freedom of Cuban Political Prisoners: "Mr. President: "Please help in any way poS' sible for humanitarian purposes and for Christian chanty our Cuban people and thousands held in political prisons there who are deeply suffering the devastating effects of the hur ricane." The implication that she was a Communist, she said, was made on Life Line, a program sponsored by Texas multimil lionaire H. L. Hunt. Mrs. Neuberger said the at tack was begun after she urged Internal Revenue Service Direc tor Mortimer Caplin to with draw tax-exempt status for the DAR. The Oregon Democrat said tax exemption for the DAR violated a 1934 law which prohibits such exemption to organizations "car rying on propaganda." "It does not, I take it, con stitute treason," she said of her insistence that the law be ap plied to the DAR. Mrs. Neuberger said Life Line "treads a careful path of in nuendo, implication, and false analogy" in attacking her, but had left it to individual letters writers "to fill in the blank spaces." Letters which Mrs. Neuberger cited included one from a "public-spirited citizen" who wrote "You Jews run true to form. You attack everything Ameri can along with the Commu nists to promote the destruc tion of America and the final takeover. "You don't like the DAR be cause you could never be eligi ble. Your ancestors probably got here about 1900, after the Christians built this country." Modeled Swim Suit Mrs. Neuberger, who as a senator's wife once shocked the capital's more sensitive souls by modeling a bathing suit be fore press photographers, also cited a letter from a woman in Grosse Pointe, Mich., who wrote: "Believe me, you look mighty small in the press, and smaller still to those who once thought you a gentleman." Mrs. Neuberger said some of the attacks might be the result of a misunderstanding of her views. In seeking to clarify her stand, Mrs. Neuberger noted that the DAR had circulated bulletins urging members to write sen ators in opposition to the nu clear test ban. At the same time, she said, similar bulletins in support of the test ban had been circulated by SANE, the national committee for a sane nuclear policy. "The DAR speaks for the par tisans of one camp," she said. "SANE speaks for many of the partisans of the other." -.. "But SANE," she added, "must rely upon taxable dollars to finance Its activities, while the DAR enjoys tax-exemption." All she was seeking, Mrs. Neu berger said, was that the IRS follow "the express policy of Congress that the treasury shall be neutral in national political debates."
