In Greek, "enteron" means the bowel, and "itis" means an inflammation. What happens in this disease is that the wall of one or more segments (short stretches) of the small bowel becomes chronically inflamed and thickened. Often the seg ment involved Is the lowest one next to the large bowel, and then the disease is called ter minal ileitis ("ileum" is the name for the lower part of the small bowel). Unfortunately, we physicians do not know what the cause is, and hence we have no good drug or diet that will cure, or perhaps even help, the patient. None of the antibiotics seems to do any good. Because the symptoms are often vague, with perhaps some diarrhea, abdominal pain, and a little fever, the correct diagnosis may tor a time be missed. Usu ally it can be made vith the help of an X-ray study of the smau Dowel. In at least half of the cases, the best thing to do is to oper ate, and remove the diseased segment of bowel. A while ago Dr. Kent W. Barber Jr., and his collegues at the Mayo Clinic wrote that in 10 years 257 pa tients with this disease had been seen at the Clinic. In 48 per cent, the diseased segment had been removed surgically. In a third of the cases, at op eration, a mass was found due to a local peritonitis (inflama- netis MR. IIP WITH a tipN TO SPEED THE CHRISTMAS LOADj I SEND YOUR CHRISTMAS MAIL OfV 1 TIME , ANO SEND IT BY A ZIP CODE ... V Shop Early ...Mai I Early! MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE tion of the inner lining of the ab dominal cavity). This peritonitis was due to some leakage of in fected intestinal contents through cracks in the abnormal wall of the gut. In 86 per cent of the cases the diseased part of the bowel was removed. In the other cases a so-called bypass was made to shunt the intestinal contents around a big inflamatory mass that would have been hard to remove. In half of these cases, after the inflamation had quieted down, the person was operated on again, and the then some what shrunken mass was re moved. It is cheering now to read that in five out of six of the pa tients operated on, the results were so good that 84.4 per cent remained in good health. Even those who had to be operated on a second time tended to stay well. If you are approaching meno pause you probably have many questions.

CORVALLIS Cutting a Christ mas tree can be' a pleasant family outing, but unless proper permission is obtained first, it can turn into trouble. Oregon law provides penalties for cutting or removing trees on private land without the owner's consent. Trees growing in fed eral or state-owned forests are likewise off-limits unless a cut ting permit is first obtained, Gary H. Sander, Oregon State University extension forestry specialist, has pointed out. Oregon forest law also re quires a bill of sale in posses sion when transporting more than five Christmas trees, Sand er said. It must specify date of NCRR Conferences Set Up in Country CHICAGO (UPI) - The Rev. Galen Weaver, executive secre tary of the National Conference on Religion and Race (NCRR), reported that interreligious and and interracial conferences have been formed in 40 cities across the country. Significant programs of action are under way in 19 of these cities, he said. The National Conference was formed after a gathering last January in Chicago of clerical and lay leaders of the major faiths in the United States. Its purpose was to see how or ganized religion could bring "its full moral force to bear on eliminating racial segrega tion and discrimination." sale, name and address of buyer or rece'ver, and legal descrip tion of the property where the trees were cut. Before making a family trek into the forest, check with U.S. Forest Service rangers, State Department of Forestry repre sentatives, or county extension agents as to cutting regulations, Sander urged. Provide Large Selection For those who like to select their trees from a convenient sales poir.t, Oregon's Christmas tree farmers this year are pro viding a large selection of trees, Sander noted. This year, Ore gon expect! to harvest more than 1 million trees. About one-halt of the trees are Douglas fir, the traditional Christmas tree of the Pacific Northwest. The remainder in clude such species as Ponder osa, Scotch and shore pines and Grand, Noble, Shasta and Whit firs. yW MA.B SVl Ml AM.

MAR. h0.3.4?-49 K0.7M Quality Christmas trees are now on the market, he noted, adding that trees bought locally are usually fresh cut. Early shoppers can buy their tree now and still have it fresh and attractive through the holidays if they take the proper precau tions, Sander said. These include keeping the tree outside on the shady side of the house and making sure it has plenty of moisture.- Sander recommends standing the tree in water. If the tree is laid on its side, rotate it to keep the needles on the underside from becoming discolored and host it down regularly, he said. Water Is Needed ' When the tree is moved in side, -make sure it receives plenty of water, is away from heat registers and fireplaces, the specialist stressed. When selecting the Christmas tree, Sander suggests that buy ers consider what kind of tree they want and how they want to use it in their holiday decoration scheme. The pines offer strong limbs that can take heavy ornamenta tion and resist the advances of small children helping decorate, he said. The Sierra redwood is a graceful tree that needs only light ornamentation or flocking. Some firs, like the Noble, are more formal in appearance and may lend themselves to some home settings better than oth ers. But the king of the Christ mas trees is still the Douglas fir, "which is best for just all round use," Sander said. Experts View Cambodian Aid By RAY HERNDON United Press International PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (UPI) The suspension of American economic and military aid is expected to have little im mediate impact on Combodia's national economy, but experts fear the economy will begin to deteriorate within the next few months. There has been no serious eco nomic panic. The black market value o( the Cambodian riel nas settled back to the normal level it occupied before Prince Nor odom Sihanouk's somewhat un expected decision to demand an immediate cessation ol all American military, economic, cultural and technical assistance to his kingdom. The decision is believed to have resulted from pressure by Cambodia's next door neighbor Red China. American aid officials said that some consumer goods being imported under the United States commodity import pro gram will continue flowing into the country, even though the program has technically been halted. Qualified business sources said that one of the major prod ucts which the United States furnished under its aid program, petroleum, will continue to come into Cambodia for several months. The United States re leased some $:) million for oil imports only a few days before Sihanouk demanded the aid halt. Will Ration Gas The Cambodian government, however, has already begun planning a rationing system on gasoline. Other goods which the Unit ed States financed such as con struction materials will also con tinue to trickle in, since orders estemifi r : Aid I i I m .jLll fl Timlin Sfext I Hill GOO (turn OPEN EVENINGS TO 9 P.M.

American aid to Cambodia, planned for some this year, was essentially of three types: The largest single portion, some $14.6 million was devoted to the United States Commodi ty Import program (C1P) whereby the United States fi nanced the foreign exchange costs of selected commodities for distribution through Cam bodian commercial channels. The United States had also planned to furnish some $10.4 million dollars worth of military equipment and basically mili tary projects this year. Direct aid in the form of projects such as schools, dis pensaries and agricultural aid amounted to (4.7 million. Workmen Quit Aid of all three types has now been halted and workmen on some 20 projects have laid down their tools awaiting the outcome of discussions between Cambodian and American gov ernment officials here. As one American official put it, "when we stop work, they stop too." He referred to the Cambodian laborers employed by the American Aid Mission constructing the projects. The officials listed some 20 projects which were in stages of semi completion including four secondary schools, a tech nical institute and engineering college, the teacher training center at Siem Riep, and the rural health center. American aid officials saw little hope that any of these projects would be completed if Sihanouk docs not suddenly re verse his decision to demand the withdrawal of all American aid to Cambodia. The United States donates more than $10 million in local currency annually towards the salaries of Cambodia's armed forces. The grant aid has in the past paid more than 40 per cent of the military's salaries and ac counted for more than 10 per cent ol the entire national budg et. To make up the loss of this sum, Sihanouk will have to in crease the deficit m his budget even beyond the present level which is about 40 per cent more expenditures than income. Sham Command Sihanouk has made it clear that he no longer wants the American military assistance command in Cambodia. Exist ing aid agreements call for six months' prior notice for the cancellation of the military aid program, but it is expected here that the last American military man will be out of Cambodia before mid-January. Negotiations for the cessation of American economic aid ad ministered by the Agency for International Develop ment (AID) mission have not yet be gun. American aid officials said it was unlikely that any of the aid programs which range from commodity imports to agricul tural experimental stations would be continued. Some of the United States initiated projects in the fields of public health and sanitation are expected to continue un changed for a while, but as sup plies dwindle and are not re placed by U.S. aid they too will be in danger. Study Health Several studies which were underway and indeed nraring completion are now expected never to be finished since the American technicians under con tract to the mission will prob ably be withdrawn. The American aid mission since November, 1962, has been engaged in a study of health problems of rural school chil dren. It was expected that this study would be completed in April of next year. Preliminary findings indicated that among s sample group of students exam ined some 59 per cent had tra choma, an eye disease that leads to blindness. An American specialist was researching insects in Cambodia and how they could be control led and kept from damaging this country's all-important ag ricultural production. The halting of one program will have long-range effects on Cambodia's economy. That is the year-round rehabilitation of the Khmer-American Friendship Highway which links the rapidly expanding port of Sihanoukville and the interior. One high American official said that if the rehabilitation made necessary by faulty con struction on one- Hand and tropi cal monsoon rains on the other stops, the highway which now carries a majority of Cambo dia's commerce will crumble away and become practically unusable within months. Cambodia's military f o r e e s also will deteriorate, observers fear. A major weakpoint of the Cambodian military has always been the maintenance of Ameri can military hardware. Even with American technical assis tance, more than 75 per cent of the military vehicles are pres ently out of service for repairs, according to qualified military sources. Without American military advisors, practically all the mili tary equipment is expected to fall apart or- go out of service within a matter of weeks.
