Boil them first then taste them afterwards.” Thi3 is the advice of G. V. Copson, head of the bacteriology department at O.S.C., who has tested scores of food examples for the deadly botulism. Such food that may smell and appear all right may carry enough poision to be deadly, while food that is com pletely spoiled can be rendered harmless by boiling. Botulinus poisioning is caused by a germ fairly common in Ore gon soils, Professor Copson ex plains. While it rarely appears when reasonable care is used in canning, it is so deadly that it is not safe to take chances at any time. He also warns against the throwing of suspicious canned food to chickens until it is boiled, as it is just as deadly to them, causing “limberneck” preceding death. The posion in canned food is destroyed by boiling for 10 minutes, Professor Copson adds. The germ forms a spore which resists boiling temperatures but which is harm less in the human body. It is ad visable, however, to reboil foods that have been opened more than a day or so. A positive antitoxin for botulism has been developed, but the poison works so rapidly that is usually impossible to administer the rem edy in time to do any good. • ment. Under the new state law levying a severance tax of 5c per thousand feet of timber harvested, an est imated $250,000 per year will be provided for researcn of which 60 per cent has been allocated to the work of the forest products labora tory, Dean Dunn explained. With an added state appropriation about $10,000 per year will be available for the work of the laboratory, making a greatly expanded pro gram requiring the fulltime service of a technical director. • Traffic Toll Takes Big Drop In May Oregonians pushed down the highway death toll for the third time this year, it has been announced by Robert S. Farrell Jr., secretary of state. Nineteen were killed during the month, com pared to 40 during May last year. February and April tolls were also markedly below those for the same months of 1946. So far this year, traffic fatalities have fallen almost 20 per cent from last year’s levels. It was pointed out that reduced highway toll is in the face of the greatest flood of traffic the state has ever seen. Automobile reg istration and gas sales are swell ing every month. The average number of May traffic deaths for the last five peace-time years has been 28. The toll of 19 this May is regarded as a remarkable reduction. Forest Products Staff to Expand OREGON STATE .COLLEGE— Enlargements and reorganization of the staff of the Oregon Forest Products laboratory here has just been announced by Dean Paul M. Dunn, director of the laboratory and head of the forestry school.

Proctor, head of the wood products department of the school of forestry, has been appointed technical director of all research projects in the laboratory. He will be succeeded by John B.
