The meeting is open to the public. test are to go to the West Oregon building where they will be given a special sugar solution. They can then leave and return in two hours for a simple fingertip blood test. In view of the high incidence of unsuspected cases of diabetes, this test is highly advised. In order to help everyone understand more about diabetes, Dr. Thiringer has prepared the following information: Diabetes, because of its frequency, is probably the most important me tabolic disease. It affects every cell in the body and the essential bio chemical processes that go on there. There is nothing new about dia betes: it has been a medical prob lem since antiquity, and one which in the United States now ranks eighth as a cause of death. The name, which was originated by Are- taeus (30 to 90 A.D.) comes from the Greek words meaning siphon and to run through, and in medicine signifies the chronic excretion of an excessive volume of urine. The term when used with the qualifying “insipidus” refers to a comparatively rare disease which is characterized by the excretion of large volumes of dilute urine; when used unmodified or with the quali fying “mellitus,” a Latin word meaning honeyed, diabetes refers to a chronic disease which is by no means uncommon. The cause of spontaneous diabetes mellitus is not known. However, there are several factors that we know are involved. These are obes ity, the presence of diabetes in the family and possibly diet. The fun damental difficulty is a relative or complete lack of insulin, the hor mone produced in the islets of Lang erhans of the pancreas, which is necessary to metabolism of carbo hydrates. Since the metabolic path ways by which the body derives en ergy from food sources, carbohy drate, protein and fat, are now known to be not separate and dis tinct, but intermingled, any essen tial fault in carbohydrate metabo lism necessarily involves the metab olism of protein and fat as well. Diabetes is characterized by the poly triad: polydypsia (excessive thirst), polyphagia (excessive hung er) and polyuria (excessive urina tion). Laboratory findings reveal high blood sugar and oftentimes glu cose in the urine. The method of diagnosis of diabet es is primarily the suspician by your family physician. He will be very interested in the presence of the di sease in your family tree. He will want to know the birth weights of your children, any difficulty in heal ing of skin abrasions or cuts, exces- sive thirst, hunger or urination. A blood sugar test taken two hours following the ingestion of a certain amount of sugar is the first lab ex amination usually performed. If this figure is above a certain number then a Glucose Tolerance Test is performed which is more involved and from this test your physician is able to tell if you do or do not have diabetes. The treatment of diabetes is bas ically one of three methods.

Seawright, St. Hel ens, has joined the meat inspec tion staff of the Oregon D epart ment of Agriculture and has been assigned to the Albany area as district veterinarian.

The St. Helens veterinarian took his pre-med work at Oregon State University. He also studied at the U. S. Department of A griculture’s National Animal Disease Labora tory, Ames, Iowa. Prior to getting his degree in veterinary medicine Seawright was with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game as a game biologist. NMMH Teams Slated For Jamboree Chamber Urges Early Decorations Mrs. Charles Minger, chairman for the Vernonia Chamber of Com merce Christmas lighting contest, issued a reminder this week that now is the time to be getting decorations in place so that they can be seen all during the Christmas season. Other towns are already displaying decor ations and much cheer and pleasure is provided by the displays on homes throughout the community. Lions club members will be placing decorations in the downtown area which will be augmented this year by funds donated by the chamber of commerce. In order to assist people who plan to enter the lighting contest, the rules are recapped here: Winners will be selected on the basis of artistic merit, originality, lighting techniques and ingenuity. Judging will be limited to outside residential displays only. Boundaries for contest will extend from Pittsburg on north to Timber route junction with Sunset highway on south. No display will be considered eligi ble for prizes unless it is registered. There will be no charge for regis tration. Purpose of registering is to insure that all those wishing to be judged by categories will receive a fair evaluation. Without registration it is possible that some houses could be missed—this the committee wish es to avoid. There will be three categories in which prizes will be awarded for residential displays: Religious, which will include Nativity scenes, etc; illumination, which will be displays made mostly with lights; and Santa Claus, which will include decorating done in the Santa theme. There will be a first, second and third prize in each category, plus a sweepstakes award. First, second and third prizes will also be given to commercial entries which may be decorated in any man ner desired. Commercial entries will be limited to those businesses which pay an occupational license in the city. Mrs. Minger urges everyone to make entries as soon as possible so the committee may know the ex tent of response to expect. The entry blank appearing in this week’s issue is for the convenience of those plan ning to enter displays. It should be clipped and kept for use when needed. Also, the committee urges every one to decorate and make their homes and businesses as festive as possible whether they plan to enter the contest or not. The aim is to make Vernonia increasingly beauti ful each holiday season
