HERALD AST) NEWS, Klamath Falli. Orefon Sunday, August ll, 1WJ PACE t-A FDA Proposes Ban On Drugs Useless In Battling Colds WASHINGTON IL'PII - The Food and Drug' Administration Saturday proposed banning more than 50 "cold cure" prescription drugs after a team of leading medical scientists found that the antibiotics have no effect what soever on the common cold. The proposed order would pre vent the certification of prescrip tions which include antibiotics in conjunction with analgesics, anti histamines, decongestants, and caffeine. It would affect only prescrip tion drugs taken by mouth. The order also would initiate regulatory action, if necessary, to remove from the market anal gesics, decongestants, caffeine and antihistamines when mixed with any other anti-microbial agents, primarily the sulfa family. An KDA spokesman described the action as "major" and said it would affect 50 or more products manufactured by about 200 firms. ADMINISTRATOR E. L. Short is the new principal of the Tulelake Joint Union High School. Prior to coming here, he served three years as vice princi pal of the high school at Princeton, Calif. Classes will start Sept. 10. He said that most of the products contain antibiotics and a few other anti-microbial agents. The proposed order was pub lished in the Federal Register, an official government publica tion, and gave objectors 30 days to file protests or comment be fore it can take effect. Under the order it would be il legal to manufacture the drugs specified and they would be un available to doctors. But the or der would not affect popular cold remedies sold without prescrip tion. The spokesman said the combi nation drugs are frequently used in the treatment of colds. He said a number of scientists questioned their value and the Food and Drug Administration asked the National Academy of Sciences to make a panel study. The chairman was Dr. Harry Dowling of the University of Illi nois School of Medicine. Other members were Dr. Paul Beeson, Yale University School of Medi cine; Dr. Maxwell Finland, Harv ard University School of Medi cine; Dr. William Jordan, Univer sity of Virginia School of Medi cine; Dr. Edwin D. Kilbourne, Cornell University School of .Med icine, and Dr. Cal Schmidt. Uni versity of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. There is no acceptable evi dence that any antibiotic or other anti-microbial agent is of any value in the treatment of the common cold or any other upper respiratory viral infection. Antibiotics and otlier anti microbial agents are of no value in preventing bacterial complica tions in patients with common colds who are otherwise healthy, and therefore should not be used. They may have some value in patients with underlying chron ic pulmonary disease. But when preventive treatment of respira tory infection is justified the anti microbial agents that may be used must be relatively free of inherent toxicity. The antibiotic in a drug which! includes analgesics, anti - hista mines, and possibly decongestants would have no effect on the cold itself and there is insufficient chemical evidence to show that it would be of value in the pre vention of complicating infections of a cold. The relief that may be pro vided by the other ingredients (other than the antibioticl is no justification for any such product to contain an anti - microbial agent. Annual Governors Meet Will Light Rights Fire SERVICES Funeral serv ices for Jerry Michaal Geraghty of Merrill who died Aug. 15 were held Saturday, Aug. 17, at 3:30 p.m. in the Merrill Presbyterian Church. Final rites and interment were in the Merrill IOOF Ceme tery. Jerry was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Geraghty. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. (UPH Indications are the annual Southern Governors Conference opening here Sunday will produce considerable smoke but little fire on the touchy issue of civil rights. With such hard-line segregation ists as Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama and Gov. Ross Barnett of Mississippi in attendance there is hound to be some bombastics No Substitute For Father's Influence r m 1 r- Jpjm It" J 4 By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: I don't know if this is the kind of a problem I should be bothering you witn out i am only 12 and 1 don't have , much love life yet to speak of. Well, to get to the point. I am crazy about I horses. After I many years of begging, my folks are finally buying me a horse in Sep tember. Now I ntfed to know how to talk horse talk. I've got to get hold of a horse dictionary right away so I will be able to use words like gelding, filly, stud, withers, stallion and yearling. Please tell me where 1 can get such p dictionary. I want to start studying now so I won't be ignorant in the horse-circles. NO HORSE SENSE YET Dear N.ll.S. Yet: I know of no horse dictionary and furthermore, even tf I did 1 wouldn't recom mend It. ' The best way In learn "horse talk" Is hv hring around people who talk It. That's the way they learned. Deir Ann Landers: I'm 1 girl, and very much worried 'ahout mv little brother. He is 12 and getting completely out of contro . Dad died two months ago and mom had to go to work right awav Thrs left me in charge of the house and my brother He used to be obedient and po lite and never caused any trou ble. Now he sassos me. leaves the house whenever he feels like it and comes home when he wants to. I don't know where he is most of the time or who he is with. When I trv to talk to him he tells me I am not his boss and we end up in a fight. My mother is ton exhausted and too nervous to argue with him. Daddy was alwavs the one who made the decisions in our family concern ing my brother and now that he is gone I have inherited the job. Ple.ise help me. Ann. before mv little brother goes bad A SISTER Dear SWrr: This Is a eritiral time In your brother's lile and I urge you to get help from an adult male. An uncle would be Ideal, or a friend of your fath er. Perhaps your clergyman can come to the rescue. Your approach to the boy should he gentle. He resents your tak ing his father's place as the au thnrity in the family. Try (o Tie soft-spoken, and above all, let him know you love him. Dear Ann Landers: Two years ;o I invested $10,000 in a small business. For my $10,000 I own 20 per cent. My partners are four men who are not related to me, but they are all related to each other. The payroll looks like their family roll call. Before 1 sat down to write this letter I checked and this is the way it reads: A sister-in-low, two brothers-in-law, a son, two daughters, an uncle, three nieces, and a nephew. The business is doing well, but I have the feeling it would do better if we got rid of some of the relatives. It was recently de cided that two of the relatives wil be sent to Europe at company expense to "look at items we might buy." The trip is a phony and I'm burned up about it. What can I do about this boondoggle? HOT UNDER THE COLLAR Dear Collar: Sell your 20 per cent and remove yourself from the list of ulcer candidates. What you make on the Investment can not compensate for what you stand to lose. Confidential In NOT OBLI GATED BY LAW: There is no statute of limitations on a guil ty conscience. Pay the man. Sure ly your reputation is worth a few hundred dollars. Confidential to THE GO BOY FROM PERTH AMBOY: So what good are her dimensions if she has a computer instead of a heart? What you describe is a terrific construction job without a central heating system. Arc you going steady? Making marriage plans? If so. send (or nn lenders' booklet, "Before You Marry-Is It Love Or Sex?" enclosing with your request 20 cents in coin and a long, self- addressed, stamped envelope. Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems. Send them to her in care of this newspaper enclosing a stomped, self-addressed envelope. over the subject, but tins more liberal governors by Southern standards will call the official shots. Passage of any resolution by the conference, which tradition ally tip-toes around the race is sues, will require a three-fourths majority. With suni relative-moderates as North Carolina's Terry Sanford, West Virginia's W. W. Barron and Kentucky's Bert Combs in the majority, this seg ment could easily block any move not to their liking. This means that any racial py rotechnics coming out of the meeting likely will be the result of statements made by various' governors off the conference floor, rather than any official ac tion by the group. The first line of defense among the "moderate" majority of the attending 15 governors of Dixie and border states will be the resolutions committee a group hand-picked by Chairman Orval E. Faubus of Arkansas. Two-Thirds Vote Needed It would take a two-thirds vote of all the governors, or 10 votes to force a resolution out of the committee, with 12 votes still needed for final adoption Wallace has announced plans to submit five resolutions condemn Ing use of federal troops to en force school desegregation orders, the Kennedy administration's civ il rights program and the Aug. 28 civil rights march on Wash ington. The Alabama chief executive, attending his first Southern Gov ernors Conference, will probably wait to sound out sentiment among his colleagues before de ciding how far to press his cam paign. All of the governors except Henry Bellmen of Oklahoma arc Democrats, and thus there will be no repetition of the partisan squabble over civil rights which marked the national governors conference at Miami Beach last month. Accident Decays Arrival Faubus' arrival at conference headquarters in tlie Grecnbriar resort was delayed for several hours as a result of a highway accident Friday night involving his car. He was not injured. Faubus will not preside at formal meeting until the opening general session Monday. Sun day's program includes only a briefing and planning session for governors' aides, and a skcet shoot and reception. Other stales represented at the meeting, by delegations ranging from 6 to 24 persons, include Delaware, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, South Caro lina, Texas and Virginia. Only Maryland and Missouri among member stales will not be rep resented by their chief executives. Man Jailed For Assault Leon Pearson, wanted on a Klamath County warrant for as sault and battery, was arrested by Sheriff Murray "Red" Brit ton and Deputy Del Summers in Dorris Friday and was trans ferred to the Klamath County Jail after he signed a waiver of extradition. Pearson is charged with the beating of Cleo Williams, who was admitted to Klamath Valley Hospital on Aug. 8 as the result of injuries slie received during the attack. She was released from the hospital two days later. The incident marked the second ime in recent months that the wo people were involved in an altercation which resulted in a complaint registered with local police, the district attorney's of fice reported. 0 The Coach and Truck Division of General Motors Corporation Announces the Appointment ofthe Hi mi p Ml Pp uuu as dealer for the complete line of TIUCCCS From Vi to 60 Tons A stock of new 1963 GMC Trucks and Pickups as well as Parts and Serv ice is now available at the Dick B.
