Family Meets For NY Dinner Next Monday, January 12, is the dat? for the opening of th- 47th state legislative assembly, People of the state are accus- tomed to seeing in print the antics that som?times take plac? at the legislature and they ex- pect the session to bring forth quite a mass of new laws and changes to existing laws. What is probably little known is the priparation necessary be- for the assembly begins its bien nial session. There is a lot of work to be done before the 60 representatives and 30 s.nators begin work. Crews of workmen have been busy for weeks assembling thi. endless numbers of it.ms from desks and tables to pencils and paper clips required. Custodial employes have been cleaning the house and sinate chambers, dust ing desks, vacuuming carp ts, moving additional tables and desks into the chambers and checking the hundreds of light i bulbs which light the rooms. Over 100 items of stationery, law books and other supplies each legislature receives are being distributed by Cyril Coibath. storekeeper, who has served in every legislature since 1919. One hundred twenty-six type writers, in storage since th? 1951 session, have been taken out of storage and readied for action and 27 extra telephones have been installed. In addition to other preparations, provisions have been made for extra ground patrolmen to direct parking and capitol guides are making plans for guiding th? hundreds of visi tors which attend the sessions. At present more than 70 clas- ses from Oregon schools hav" made tour reservations for more than 3,000 grade school and hig.i school students. The current March of Dimes campaign emphasizes the indeb- tedness of this county to the Na- tional Foundation for funds bor- rowed for treatment of people who contracted the disease. Pay ment for the indebtedness and for polio case treatment in the future can come only from the contributions of people them selves. Their consideration in giving more than usual to the fund is urgently needed because the purpose to which this money is devoted is a worthwhile one. Word that Oregon will partici pate quite extensively in re search work in the quest for an answer to polio came a few weeks ago when a grant of $49,804 was made the University of Oregon medical school by the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly- Sis. At present the diagnosis of polio must depend upon an eval uation by the physician of clinical symptoms which frequently jre vague or may resemble other di seases. The physician has no spec ific laboratory test generally available to aid him in making a diagnosis on a patient. The grant will enable scientists at the medical school to attempt to adapt research methods as la boratory aids to the diagnosis of polio.
