Eighteenth cen tury authenticity is evident in every cahlnet-maker detail right down to the ball and claw feet, Hickory Chair Company. These stalks of the rather rare plant commonly called Indian Pipe or Ghost Flower, were found In the Hyatt Lake area by Mr. and Mrs. Alva Reed, 1357 Lawnridge, while they were hunting mushrooms. Raskins' "Wild Flowers of the Pacific Coast" says of the plant "A drooping flower molded from pure while wax best describes the common Indian Pipe. Its white, almost leafless form Is dependent upon the predigested remains of other plants for its nutriment. This the most plentiful and best known of a large group of saprophytic plants that are so peculiarly abundant in the moist woods of the Coast." Mrs. Reed said she noted a clump of the pipes growing in the moss under a tree last spring, and found it again this fall while on her mushroom hunt. Other names for it arc corpse plant and Ice plant; the botanical name is Monotropa iinlflora L. NEW YORK (UPI) - Thel number of persons covered by group dental insurance has more than doubled since 1960, the Health Insurance Institute reports. About 1.15 million persons 1 were covered by dental insur ance by the end of 1962, up from 550,000 in 1960. The num ber of plans offering coverage for dental work more than dou bled over the same period, from 128 to 296. Grant Aids OSU Studies In Foods CORVALLIS-Why does meat become more tender after it is aged? What causes ce.tain foods to develop "off flavors?" What are the detrimental effects of dietary rancid fats? Answers to these and other questions involving food flavor and quality are being sought by Oregon Mate university tood scientists with the aid of a new, $10,000 preparative ultracentri-fuge. Funds for the purchase of the new piece of equipment were obtained through a research grant awarded to the OSU De partment of Food Science and Technology hy the Public Health Service, U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Device Explained A centrifuge is a device that spins various materials around so rapidly that they separate into their constituent parts or components on the basis of particle weight, The ultracentri fuge will be used to separate, purify and concentrate the com ponents of different foods for further detailed analyses. It operates at a speed of 50,000 r.p.m. With the new equipment, OSU scientists will be able to obtain in one hour, results that would have taken them up to 17 hours with the department's older centrifuges. Moreover, the instrument will provide the necessary means to complete research in certain critical areas that has been omitted in the past due to the lack of such equipment. Use of the new centrifuge, ac cording to Dr. Allen F. Angle meicr, OSU food scientist, should lead to a better under standing of the basic factors controlling and influencing meat tenderness. It will also make it easier to separate, identify and study those components that produce the characteristic odor and flavor of some foods, as well as those that cause foods to become off-flavored while in storage.

(UPI) The Pilgrims landed in America and gave thanks with turkey on the festive board. As tronauts reaching the moon may De able to do just about the same thing. At least that's what an exper iment undertaken by the Hamil ton Standard Division of United Aircraft Corp. tends to indicate after two of its engineers sam pled a diet similar to that of spacemen. The firm is the major con tractor to tile National Aeronau tics and Space Administration (NASA) for development of the space suit and related equip ment. The object of the two-week test was to obtain some idea of how a specific diet would influ ence the physical and psycholo gical well-being of those on long haul space runs. Test Period The 14-day period was Dicked because that is approximately how long spacemen expect to remain on their 25,000 m.p.h. flight to the moon and return. Engineers Harlan Brose and Charles Beal partook of the sample diet faithfully but firm conclusions remained out of reach because the two were able to conduct their daily lives under normal conditions. "In space, continuous associa tion with a small crew and con finement in a vehicle would in crease psychological stresses,' said Brose, "and gastro-intesti nal difficulties might occur in a zero-gravity environment." The space fare the men ate consisted only of freeze-dr'o-food which was varied, nutri tional and appetizing. But part of the diet had an adverse re action towards the end of the experiment. In essence, the men devel oped an aversion to particular vegetables because of what they callM the "process taste." . The food they ate had to be reconstituted. Thus, they simply added water which "s removed in the processing stages to: Reduce its weight by one third, Allow for nackaging, Reduce chances of spoilage. Moisture Reclaimed The engineers used ordinary tap water. In space, however, a fuel cell aboard the vehicle would reclaim moisture in the astronaut's breath and from his body. Water also would be avail able from other sources. In space, the freeze-dried foods would be sealed individu ally in small plastic bags. At mealtimes,- the bags would be attached to a spigot of the ca bin's reclaimed water supply. The spaceman would put in the desired amount of water, knead the contents, wait a few minutes for reconstitute, and then cat the food by squeezing it through a mouthpiece. To prevent crumbs from es caping and floating around in the cabin's weightlessness, bread wafers and similar snacks would be coated with an edible and protective covering. In the experiment, the engi neers added hot or cold water, depending on the food, stirred and awaited the reaction. Scrambled eggs, for example, required two ounces of water and four minutes of reconstitu Domestic Problem Some of the hot items took as long as 18 minutes," said Beal. "When we were ready to eat. some of the food had al ready cooled," a problem house- 'Go Take a Walk' Advice for Tension STANFORD. Calif. (UPI) San Francisco's doctors said it: For cheap, effective, readily available relief from tension, go take a walk. wives seem to be faced with al most daily. Brose and Beal said that spacemen, like anybody else, savor flavor and appearance as well as nutritional benefits of the food they would be expected t0 eat- U ,J In a statement which would have the solid endorsement of many an ex-GI, the engineers said, "Lack of appealing food could impose severe psychologi cal stresses . . . . " Brose and Beal each con sumed about V.'i pounds of food per day, averaging 2,500 cal ories, and six pounds of water. They conducted the test in their offices and at home. "Sit ting at the table with others in the family eating conventional food was something of a strain," chuckled Brose. . Although it was not part of the test, an item of a different nature which can be reconstitut ed might prove rather intrigu ing if quaffed by space voyag ers. ., It is beer. Dr. Oliver E. Byrd, a profes-" sor and executive head of the Department of Health Educa., tion at Stanford University, got the answer in a survey of 8281 San Francisco physicians. Ninety-two per cent of ths doctors recommended walking, swimming, golf or bowling in that order to combat tension; Byrd said nearly all told him. they had prescribed one or mora of the activities for their par tients. Other less popular metlv ods were tennis, calisthenics and gardening. ; Byrd reported his findings irt the Journal of School Health SPRAYER HURT : NEW YORK (UPI) - Acci: dental triggering of a power paint sprayer, operating under 80 pounds of pressure, injected a small amount of "red lead':, lead tctraoxide into the tirj of the index finger of a do-it yourself painter. ; Despite surgical removal of as much paint as possible, "dry gangrene" developed; amputa tion was necessary.
