0 Our family doctor toys that
' our son has epilepsy. What can we
t ;'6o to help him if he start to
', have a seizure? How will this
J disease affect his education, oc
; cupation, and marriage?
: ' A If those around your son
. can tell by his crying out or roll
ing his eyes that an attack is
starting they can, if they are close
enough, prevent him from fall
ing. A cork, wadded handkerchief
or wooden pencil should be forced
as far back between his teeth as
possible taking care not to get
your own fingers billon. J his will
. prevent him from biting his
-. tongue.
Every effort must be made to
bring his attacks under control
before trying to plan his future.
Zi If modern treatment succeeds In
:,; controlling his attacks he should
':- be able to lead a normal life as
- regards his schooling, his work,
ana marriage.
; y our 7-year-om oaugnier nas
passed out completely for a few
- seconds on two occasions. The
doctor says she has petit mal
epilepsy. He says it is not a bad
case but I feel like someone had
hit me with a club. Please tell
: me all you can about this disease
: A There Is an excellent chance
that your daughter's epilepsy can
be completely controlled because
the petit mal (mild) attacks are
' much easier to treat successfully
r.; than are the grand mal or severe
; attacks. If her attacks are prop,
r'erly controlled and she carries
out your doctor's instructions, she
should function as any normal
child.
Q Is It dangerous to stop a
grand ma epileptic seizure with
massage before it runs its full
course? I have a friend who has
these spells and if I massage him
before they get going strong he
comes out of it more alert than
If it goes on its full course which
leaves him stiff and blue and exhausted.
A I nave never neara ot mas
sage for grand mal attacks and
- non i see now you can manage 10
be nresent when his attacks are
starting. The difficulty here is that
many an epileptic has a mixture
of mild attacks ani severe at
tacks.
If you massage him during a
mild attack he would not be ex
hausted on awakening. Why not
get him to a specialist and see if
the attacks cannot be prevented?
Q I am 22 years old and un
til two years ago I had fainting
spells. The doctor now gives me
anticonvulsant drugs which keep
me from having these spells. Since
I have lost out on my schooling
I would like to know of a place
where I could go to complete
my education.
A Many cities now have adult
education groups for all levels
of instruction (primary school,
high school and college). These
are almost always held at night
and are sponsored by universi
ties, public school system, or the
YMCA. Your state's department of
education can guide you along
this line and if you do not want
to live in the city they can direct
you to correspondence courses,
Please send your questions and
comments to Dr. Wayne G. Brand-
stadt, M.D., in care of this pa
per. While Dr. Brandstadt can-
not answer individual letters, he
will answer letters of general in
terest in future columns.

Saving Plan
Inaugurated
SALEM (UPD A method of
saving more than $4,000 a session
in the cost of assembling printed
legislative bills will be inaugu
rated Monday.
Assembling of the bills by hand
has been done by the state print
ing office. The work is being
shifted to the bill mailing room
where workers are paid a lower
wage.
The idea was suggested by
House Speaker Clarence Barton,
D-Coquille, as one of a series ol
legislative economy measures.
The plan won approval of Sen
ate President Ben Musa, D-Tho
Dalles.
Still under study by Barton Bnd
Musa was the advisability ol
printing bills on newsprint. This
would save about $11,000 a scs-
slon.The plan has not been adopt
ed because It has not been deter
mined if newsprint will stand up
under heavy usage, and the stale
printer fears use of the cheaper
paper might require running
presses at a slower speed.
The paper now being used is of
cheaper grade than was used
during tile lOfil session. Barton
said, and a savings of about $5,000
will result even if the switch to
newsprint is not made.
Requests for sets of bills are
being screened closely in an ct
lort to cut down on the volume
being mailed and thus reduce
oslage costs. It is not yet known
how much of a saving will result
from this move.
Polio Shot
Campaigns
Supported
Communities planning immuni
zation campaigns against poliomy
elitis are urged to move ahead,
using all three types of Sabin
oral vaccine with particular em
phasis on children and young
adults, Surgeon General Luther
L. Terry of the Public Health
Service announced recently.
Dr. Terry said that this is the
recommendation of the Surgeon
General's Special Advisory Com
mittee on Oral Poliomyelitis Vac
cine which concluded its fifth
meeting this year on Dec. 18, and
that he has accepted the com
mittee's recommendations.
The committee stressed that
special attention be given to chil
dren because they comprise the
population group "in whom the
danger of naturally occurring po
liomyelitis is greatest and who
serve as the natural source of po
liomyelitis infection in the com
munity."
"The committee feels and 1
wholeheartedly agree that of
greatest importance is planning
lor the continuing vaccination ol
oncoming generations," the s u r
geon general said. "This Is the
only way we will succeed in erad
icating polio permanently."
"Because the need for immu
nization diminishes with advanc
ing age and because potential
risks of vaccine are believed by
some to exist in adults, especial
ly above the age of 30, vaccina
tion should be used for adults
only with the full recognition of
its very small risk. Vaccination
is especially recommended for
those adults who are at higher
risk of naturally occurring dis
ease: ; for example, parents of.
young children, pregnant women,
persons in epidemic situations and
those planning foreign travel.
With this clearance of all but
an infinitesimal risk for Type III
Sabin Oral Vaccine in adults, all
Northern California counties are
proceeding with the administration
of the third dose of the vaccine
to establish complete immunity
against poliomyelitis.
Siskiyou County will hold its
clinics, for Type III during the
week of March 25-29. 1063.
Make-up clinics for all three1
types of the Sabin Oral Vaccine
will then be held during the week
of April 22, MM.
Notice ol the clinic schedule and
sites will be published In all lo
cal papers.

Power Tie
Protested
By Morgan
WASHINGTON (UPD - Fed
cral Power Commissioner Howard
Morgan charged Friday that pri
vate power interests would use
interstate high - voltage transmis
sion lines to "strangle" publicly
owned utilities.
Morgan made the charge in a
dissent to an FPC report recom
mending against enactment of leg
islation to extend the commis
sion's jurisdiction to the construc
tion of interstate power lines.
The report was submitted to
Rep. Oren Harris, D-Ark., chair
man ot the House Commerce,
Committee, by FPC Chairman
Joseph C. Swidler.
Swidlcr urged that action on the
legislation be held up pending
completion of a national power
survey now being made by the
FPC.
Morgan, the lone dissenter on
the commission, termed the report
naive in the extreme" and said
the suggestion that action be de
layed was "incredible."
The former Oregon Public Util
ity Commissioner said some seg
ments of Ihe private power indus
try would use cxtra-high-voltagc
transmission lines "to protect and
maintain monopoly positions while
isolating, restricting or strangling
municipal or rural electric sys
tems and publicly owned trans
mission lines.
Indeed, he added, the very
first proposals for a privately
owned 500.000 - volt line in the
United States, between the Pa
cific Northwest and California
carried with it such serious
threats to the public interest that
it led directly to the introduction
of the bill on which we here re
port."
Sw idler s majority report said
that if the proposed legislation
were passed it should apply to
high voltage transmission lines
built by public agencies as well
as private lines.

Lt. Clark Johnson of the State
Bureau of Identification testified
later that he received a rifle
from Deputy Bogart on Dec. ;
and examined it for latent finger
prints. He found none, explaining
that latent prints are formed by
moisture on an individual's fingers
and often evaporate.

the defense, the attorney repre
senting Mrs. Ochiho requested
that the jurv leave the court
room, and, after the jurors had
done so, he called the defendant
to the witness stand.
Mrs. Ochiho emotionally relat
ed to the court that before the
trial Sheriff Murray "Red" Brit
ton informed her sne would be
charged with murder in the sec
ond degree providing she entered

ment Judge Vandenberg recessed
