JUNE 22. . 1958' Study Shows Happy Pills To Be Habit Forming In Same Way As Sleep Pills By DELOS SMITH VPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPD-Chemically the "happiness pill" behaves in side the human body a great deal like the sleeping pill behaves, ac cording to the newest scientific effort to show definitely whether or not the "happiness pill" is hahit-forming. The question is no small one because the "happiness pill" now is being prescribed in the millions, which means that untold thou sands of people are addicted to this drug if it is habit-forming. The newest scientific answer is that it is. in the same way the sleeping pill is. The habit-forming sleeping pill Is one or another of the barbi turates. The "happiness pill," com pared, to the barbiturates by Dr. John A. Ewing and Thomas M. 'Haizlip of the University of North Carolina, Is meprobamate which Is better known to the public by the trade names, "Miltown" and "Equanil." Meprobamate is a useful drug and the purpose of the investiga tion was not to put up any red flags against Its use, but rather to guide physicians in using it in their patients. Indeed, Wyeth tjaooralories, makers of ' Equa nil," supplied the meprobamate lor tne .investigation. The scientists advised nhvsl cians to build up meprobamate doses from a small beginning. and to take their patients off it by degrees rather than abruptly Thus, the "withdrawal symptoms" which are the mark of drug addic tion, can be avoided, thev said. The World Health Organization recently classified all the Iran quilizing drugs as "potentially nawt-forrmng. To this Ewing and Haizlip added that "probably any drug that offers a sedative or a tranquilizing effect can be habit forming, the patient becom ing psychologically dependent upon a sense of relaxation and well-being. "01 course," they added, "it is clear that certain patients become dependent upon any drug, even a non-active one, if the medication, olfers a suitable psychologic meaning to him. iRtiti at least the patient does not face any problem of physiologic tolerance or withdrawal reactions." As with the barbiturates, the body adjusts to the continuing presence of meprobamate in its chemistry, and so the same dose on, say. the 20th day of taking produces less effect than on the first. The central nervous system accepts the chemically induced slow-down and when the chemical is withdrawn "there is a resur gence of electric activity" and trounie, tney reasoned. They experimented with 75 pa tients of the North Carolina Men tal Hospital at Raleigh, who were divided into three groups of 25 each. One group was given a fairly heavy dose of meprobamate daily for 40 days; a second group got half that dosage for the same length of time; the third was giv en identically appearing pills but tnese pills were chemical blanks At the end of 40 days, the pa ticnts getting meprobamate start ed getting the blanks. These are the conditions of sci ence's classical "double blind test whose results are supposed to be unquestionable since no one knows what patients are getting which kind of pills until it is all over. Of the patients who were on meprobamate. 44 had "withdraw al symptoms" when switched to the blank, which ranged from mild to severe. DANCE! SHOW! ARMORY WED.

CUSTAVSON r Another lirst and a big step for ward in the food enrichment pro gram is South Carolina's move as the first state to require enrich ment of all the rice sold within the state. Standards were set up by the South Carolina State Nutrition Committee for fortifying rice with the same vitamins and minerals in use in wheat products namely thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. The federal food and drug administration has set up stan dards for rice labeled fortified in interstate commerce. Look for the new labeling in the markets before long. You might be interested to know just how they keep the vitamins on a grain of rice. There are two ways. One (the cheapest) is to coat the grains with a powder containing the vitamin mineral mix. This works line, except that it dissolves in the cooking water and will he lost in the water. The other method is coating a few grains with an edible sub stance that contains the vitamins and does not dissolve in water. These high potency grains are mixed with the regular grains. Presto! vitamins on the table. At present extension and the public health service are spreading the news and getting women to cook rice the correct way. Here is 8n easy way to use rice when planning an oven meal. It works well for Hulgar, too. And, nary a vitamin is lost to the kitch en sink. 1 cup rice 1 teaspoon salt 2'i cups boiling water Place raw rice in 2-quart cas serole. Add salt and boiling wa ter; bake at 330 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until tender and fluffy. Excellent when beef drippings or bouillon are used for part of the liquid. Estimates indicate that the tiny clothes moth causes millions of dollars worth of damage to cloth ing and furnishing items each year. The clothes moths are there fore recognized as fabric pests. Constant vigil is needed. Control starts with good house keeping practices. The moth feeds on lint and hair as well as cloth ing and furnishing articles so keep coi ners and hard to reach places free of dust, lint, and hair. The vacuum cleaner with its assort ment of cleaning tools is excellent (or this purpose. There are a number of ways to protect fabrics and furnishings from moth damage. Articles should be stored clean, either dry cleaned or laundered. A good sunning and brushing wilt help to remove larvae and egs if the garment does not need cleaning Dry cleaning and laundering will kill cges as well as larvae. It is the larvae that cause the damage. The larvae are about one half inch long, practically hairless, and white, except tor dark heads I he adult moth w hich has a wing spread of about one half inch lays the eggs which hatch into the larvae. Kq-53 will protect washable woolens from insect damage, when added to the wash and rinse wa ter. Kq-53. which is sold under dif ferent trada names, is an emulsi- fiahle concentrate in which the active ingredient is the insecticide DPT. Washable woolens treated with Eq-5:t are protected against the feeding of larvae for a year or more. Directions or use are on the bottle. Follow directions closely. Precautions If Eq-5.1 is spilled on the skin, wash otf immediately wilh soap and water: wash hands with soap and water after handling wet treated woolens: or wear rub ber gloves. Treat inlant's blankets, sweaters, or other woolen article" only if they are to be stored. Be fore putting them in use. dry clean to preen: sin irritation. There are several other good methods of control. Woolens may be protected aiiamst feeding dam ace by spraying with a five per cent DDT oil solution. Paradi chlorlhen7ene crystals and naphtha lene (lakes or balls can also be used.

Dr. Miriam I.owrnbcrg. home rconomist at Pennslaina Slate I'niversity. pipcnicd a tne-piim plan in her talk belore the Na tional Food Conference in Wash ington, D.C., entitled "Food Prob lems With Children? Some Ans wers!" in which she gives these five points for consideration: 1. Serve slightly less than you think the child is going to eat This gives the child the advan tage of feeling successful, even to the point of asking for a second helping. 2. Because young hands are awk ward, serve foods that are easy to pick up in the fingers. Raw vegetables, fruits, strips of meat and quarters of hard cooked eggs are good. It is wise to make it legitimate for children to pick up solid pieces of food in their fin gers. 3. Remember that children in general, and also many adults, prefer simple and unmixed foods. Casserole dishes may be a boon to the homemakers who must think of using leftovers but are not to the young child. 4. Serve children under 6 years of age milk-flavored foods'. They like flavors which seem too bland to adults, because their mouths and the insides of their cheeks are richly supplied with taste buds. 5. Remember that young chil dren do not want to have to cut food into pieces. The ability to use the knife effectively is a skill which is acquired somewhere from 7 to 10 years of age. Mothers need to cat. too. This theme was presented by Elmo Roper, market research .consul tant, who says that neglect of nu tritional recommendations by American mothers rubs off on their daughters. Seventy twtr- per cent of moth ers feel their husbands and chil dren need three square meals a day (and' they largely see to it they get themi, but only forty one per cent believe they, themselves, should have the same. This does not balance out, Roper said, with the fact that surveys have shown tnat 81 per cent of women ac knowledge the importance of pay- attention to food values if one is to be healthy unless it is as sumed that the attitude reflects only "a simple paying of lip serv ice to a nice sounding idea. This leads to the need for study of motivation, he said, in which it becomes apparent that women worry ahout their weight and are bject to discouraging circum stances surrounding, (or example. tre eating ot Breakfast such eating alone, eating in a hurry, or a poor night s sleep. Soviets Approve New Plan To Encourage Reef Farmer To Improve Farm Practice MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Communist party today an nounced another step in Premier Khrushchev's plans to beat U.S. agricultural production by giving Russian farmers more incentive to grow more. The party's Central Committee announced collective farms no longer will be required to deliver a large part of their output to the government at a fixed low price. Instead, a new pricing system will be established for the entire output of collective farms. It aims to introduce an element of com petition for low - cost, efficient production. A report on the Central com mittee meeting of about 230 mem bers on Tuesday and Wednesday also said two men were promoted to alternate membership in the committee's ruling Presidium, the key unit of power in Russia. It has had 15 full members and 9 alternates. The two are N.V. Pndgorny, first seereiary of the TJkranian Communist party, and Premier D. S. Poliansky of the Russian Federation, largest republic in the Soviet Union. (There was no mention that the a. ,,W ' for SUE SHOULTS, Lakeview, is leaving Thursday, June 26, by air to attend the Zeta Tau Alpha international con vention at the Antlers Ho tel, Colorado Springs, Colo rado, Sue is official dele gate of Beta Pi chapter of the sorority at the Univer sity of Oregon. Central Committee meeting pro duced a shakeup in the Kremlin leadership, as Western observers had speculated might be taking place. Both the changes in the agricultural system and the pro motion of Podgorny and Poliansky indicated Khrushchev still was in control.) The committee decisions were based on a farm policy speech to it by Khrushchev. Publication of the speech possibly tomorrow may clarify some points left vague in the published plan. the announcement said the new plan will go into effect this- year but did not specify when. The committee made clear however, that it is not relaxing controls over production. It said under the new pricing system "all quotas to the state must be main tained. Presumably the surplus still will be available for the open market. It also decreed an end of the payment-in-kind system. Collec tives had paid with their products for such services as machine plowing. Past p a y m e n t-in-kind debts were, written off and indebt edness in compulsory deliveries also was abolished. Khrushchev's proclaimed goal in changing the agricultural sys tem established under Stalin is to overtake the United States in farm production. The committee report boasted that, in recent years the Soviet Union has ap proached the volume of U.S. agri culture output in a number of products. In creation items (it) has even surpassed the level at tained in the U.S.A."

Photos by Shasta View Studio More Body Styles Slated For 7959 Autos, And More Dollars In Purchase Tag By DAVID J. WILKIE AP Automotive Editor DETROIT (AP) There prob ably will be 350 different body designs in the 1959 line of auto mobiles. There will be even more different price tags. A larger percentage of next year's output will be station wagons. More two and four door hardtops will mean fewer stand ard type coupes and sedans. There will be more price tags than body styles because of the many op tional equipment items. There probably never has been a time when the car makers have been under as much pressure to reduce suggested list prices. What their 1959 pricing plans are prob ably will not be disclosed until a few days before new model Intro, ductions. Right now chances favor another increase when 1959 cars are an. nounced. But some extra cost items probably will be reduced; some of this year's extras may even be made standard on soma 1959 models. Most standard equipment items on today's cars began as extra cost installations. Even wind shields started out as extra cost items in the industry's early days. Some experts have said that eventually automatic transmis sions will become standard equip ment. That may be still in the remote future, however; continuing im provements are being made in transmissions. The research rum into a lot of money. HOW SHOWING! CONTINUOUS FROM 12:45 P. M.
