Raleigh Named
To Head Squaw
Butte Station
Dr. Robert J. Raleigh, Ore­
gon State University animal
scientist, has been appointed
superintendent of the Squaw
Butte Experiment Station,
Burns, Oregon, effective July 1.
He replaces W. A. Sawyer,
who is retiring after 25 years
as head of the major range­
livestock research facility.
Raleigh, 47, joined the Squaw
Butte research staff in 1960,
after receiving a doctor’s de­
gree in nutrition and biochem­
istry from Utah State Univer­
sity in 1959. A 1952 graduate
of Montana State University, he
also received a master’s de­
gree in animal nutrition from
Utah State in 1954.
In announcing the appoint­
ment, G. B. Wood, director of
the OSU Agricultural Experi­
ment Station, and W. T. Cooney,
dean of agriculture at OSU,
remarked:
“Dr. Raleigh brings out-
standing qualification to this
import antpost. His work al­
ready has led to significant in­
creases in the efficiency of
livestock production in Oregon
and the West. In this new capac­
ity, he will be able to make
an even greater contribution.”
The Squaw Butte Station is
operated jointly by the OSU
Agricultural Experiment Sta­
tion and the Crops Research
Division of the Agricultural Re­
search Service, U.S. Depart­
ment of Agriculture.
Raleigh is author of more than
60 journal articles, bulletins,
and scientific papers, and a
member of Sigma Xi, national
science honorary. He also is a
member of the American
Society of Animal Science, and
serves on the editorial board
for the society’s journal. In
addition, he is a member of the
Burns school board.
Since joining the Squaw Butte
staff, Raleigh’s accomplish­
ments include the development
of feed supplementation pro­
BY MILTON GUYMON
DDT and other chlorinated
hydrocarbon pesticides are sit­
ting in the hot seat.
The
predictions made by the well-
known author Rachel Carson in
her epic book "Silent Spring”
have become far more obvious,
and serious, than a lot of people
thought or would like.
Just recently the Michigan
Agricultural Commission can­
celled all registrations for the
sale of DDT following the an­
nouncement by the Michigan
Natural Resources Department
of its ten-point program tocom-
bat the threat of pesticides in
the Great Lakes.
The Resource Department’s
program is designed to pre­
Michigan’s
multi­
serve
dollar sport fishing
million
business. In that state tourism
and recreation, including sport
fishing, rank second only to the
manufacture of automobiles as
important industries.
TWO
STATES
BAN
USE
Michigan is the second state
to ban the use of the controver­
sial chemical. Last year Ari­
zona outlawed the use of DDT
for a 12-month period. Since
agriculture is limited in Ari­
zona, the ban has not had the
impact expected for Michigan
where DDT is used largely to
treat Dutch elm disease.
Michigan’s department also
urged the Federal Food and
Drug Administration to help
protect human health by set­
ting DDT tolerance levels in
fish. The FDA recently seized
more than 22,000pounds of Lake
Michigan Coho salmon headed
for the family table which con­
tained up to 19 parts per mil­
lion DDT and dieldrin residue.
The department said that it was
an emergency situation, with
pesticide pollution in the Great
Lakes and inland waters even
more serious than originally
thought.
Following Michigan’s cur­
tailment,
Senator
Gaylord
Nelson of Wisconsin urged the
seven other Great Lakes states
to take similar action. Secre­
tary of Agriculture Clifford M.
Hardin was asked to take ac­
tion at the national level.
But Michigan and Arizona
are not the only states in which
people have become alarmed.
ACTION, a New York conser­
vation group, in its latest news­
letter to its members and press
urged that all chlorinated hy­
drocarbon pesticides be out­
lawed. It pointed out and listed
eight other chemicals just as
effective and safer, which did
not have the persistent or ac­
cumulative pitfalls of the resi­
dual pesticides.
The Massachusetts Audubon
Society in a resolution condem­
ning the chemicals stated that
‘‘There is no doubt that the
general use of residual chemi­
cal pesticides has been a major
ecological blunder.” The Bur­
gess Seed and Plant Company,
one of the nation’s largest,
gram with which yearling steers
can be finished to acceptable
slaughter grade right on the
range at substantially reduced
feed costs.
He also has led in the de­
velopment of a new fall calving
program that enables the use
of more intensive calf manage -
ment practices and permits
more efficient use of high-
quality spring range feed.
The appointment is subject to
approval by the State Board of
Higher Education.

dropped all of
the "hard”
pesticides (chlorinated hydro­
carbons) from its catalog.
Tom Kimball, National Wild­
life Federation director, con­
demned DDT and related per­
sistent pesticides as a game of
environmental
roulette with
the gun pointed at the heads
of the world’s wildlife and hu­
man population.
He pointed
out that the Public Health Ser­
vice tells us that the average
American
already carries
around in his body 12 parts
per million DDT and that this
and other related chemicals are
blamed for drastic reductions
in birds of prey at the top of
the natural food chain such as
falcons, ospreys, eagles.
BANNED IN SWEDEN
Sweden has banned the use of
DDT, the first country to do so.
Russian scientists reportedly
demonstrated
that repeated
doses of DDT cause changes in
the human liver which inter­
fere with theeliminationofbody
wastes. In this country, experi­
ments with laboratory animals
reveal that DDT nullifies the
effect of lifesaving antibiotics,
incites cancer, affect the sex
hormones, and in large doses
attacks the central nervous sys­
tem.
Dr. Max Katz, fishery re­
search scientist and pesticide
pollution expert, demonstrated
that minute quantities of diel­
drin and endrin produced de­
formed fish, muscular tetanus,
distended swim bladders, all
resulting in slow death, and kil­
led outright at slightly higher
densities.
In the east, fishery scien-
tists found strong evidence that
the drastic decline in land-loc­
ked salmon in Lake Sebago was
correlated with repeated ap­
plication of DDT in the water­
shed. In Idaho, 600 pounds of
wild trout and 10,000 pounds
of hatchery trout were lost when
sheep were sprayed at a point
about one mile upstream from
the fish hatchery.
AU across the nation there is
mounting evidence of the harm­
ful impact of the chlorinated
hydrocarbon chemicals on fish
and wildlife.

"LOVE" — In tennis, “love"
means no score, a puzzling term
for it makes no sense — until you
know the reason. In France,
where the game originated, the
term for no score was "roef" —
meaning "egg" — Just as Ameri­
cans sometimes say "goose egg,"
meaning the very same thing — a
big zero on the score board. To
English tongues, "l'oef” soon be
came “love.”
“QUIZ” — This word was de­
liberately created, in 1780, by a
Dublin theater-owner on a bet
that he could invent a meaning­
less word and get people to use
it. He and his friends painted the
word “quiz” on fences, barns, and
pavements all night long — and
soon people were asking what it
meant Quiz became ask — and
spread all over the world.
"OUCHLESS
word
was also created — by an ad man
to dramatize the fact that Curad
bandages can be removed without
pain because of a patented Telfa
pad which will not adhere to a
wound. Actually, this painless
feature is not as important as an­
other advantage of the same
"ouchless" bandage: it does not
interrupt healing, because the
scab remains intact when the ban­
dage is removed. Understandably,
that’s too long a story for even
an ad man to compress into a
single word! Try it yourself.
"SUNDAE" — An ancient Ev-
anston law made it illegal to sell
ice cream sodas on Sunday. So, a
resourceful druggist created a
substitute — a large scoop of ice
cream covered with a flavored
syrup. He created the name "Sun­
dae” to suggest its use when he
was not allowed to serve the then,
popular soda!

Group Appointed For Study
Of Sex Edueation In Oregon
Advice on what to teach in
the areas of sex education, per­
sonal finance, and local and
state government is being
sought by the Oregon Board of
Education from citizens ap­
pointed recently to three new
advisory committees.
The appointees were recom­
mended by Dale Parnell, state
school superintendent.
The new appointees join the
more than 250 other laymen and
professional people who are
serving on 19 other advisory
committees. Many of the citizen
committees are involved in
helping professional educators
design curriculum materials—
teacher’s handbooks, instruc­
tional guides, etc.—to be used
in elementary, secondary, and
community college classrooms.
The new committees and their
members are:
