Gazette-Times, Corvallis, Oregon. Friday, lulv 23, 197117 Wf Chorus Of Three Story Of A Life Saver proved that Richard had porphyria, a rare metabolic V.r' prominence since many of the women at the convention were from other states, and all were in a furor. It was said of the editor that "he has created such a sensation among the equal suffragists of Iowa that Grover Cleveland is now looked on as an angel and a very present help in a time of trouble as f' 1 '1 of Oregon Medical School campus inPprltand' was established in 1965. Aided by funds from The National Foundation, scientists work with highly specialized equipment designed to detect and monitor elusive chemical flaws. "Children with inborn defects in their body chemistry often require testing on a day-to-day basis," said Dr.

Neil Buist, associate -professor of pediatrics and medical genetics, who directs the laboratory. "Many times the only way we can find biochemical errors is by checking, over a period of time, for abnormal amounts of-I certain compounds found in blood or urine. Then, after we have pinpointed the problem, the youngsters must be given whatever hospital care and follow-up treatment they need." As medical understanding is broadened by the work of research scientists such as Dr. Buist and team of geneticists, biochemists and pediatricians, more and more once-mysterious ailments will be identified and eliminated or controlled just as diabetes, disorder that can be triggered by a number of agents such as alcohol, certain sedatives and, in the boy's case, the anesthesia. What brought him back to the hospital a second time? Malnutrition, brought on by an inadequate diet after the first attack.

While there is no known cure for the disease, Richard's parents now know what he must avoid and what to do if another attack occurs. Porphyria is just one of a host of diseases caused by inherited errors of metabolism, distortions of the body's chemical balance. Our chemical processes act and react in unbelieveably intricate patterns. If only one crucial step is lacking, or malfunctioning, the health of the human involved can be affected, often tragically. Inborn metabolic errors can be far more dangerous than visible birth defects since these children may appear perfectly normal.

As a their battling disorders may go undiagnozed, or get no treatment, or the wrong kind. For this reason, the Pediatric Metabolic Laboratory on the University HITESIDE KSATR8 compared with Charles Wolf. It is the women of the state against a country editor Well! I had no idea. I have no clippings to record what scandals my granddad may have fomented in Ashland, but he was there before the Shakespeare festival came to be, or I fear for how he might have handled the drama reviews. In the vein of a Twain, he had once done a voluminous and "famous" criticism of "Quo Vadis," as performed by a traveling opera company.

Completely irreverent toward what was no doubt a serious effort on the stage, he put tongue in cheek and commented that "while Rome was burning, Nero played the lute and sang like a stuck hog. He was supposed to fiddle, but he played so wretchedly that it was feared the audience would think it an overture by the. orchestra, so he cut the fiddle and played the lute." And further: "It was intended to tie some Christians to pillars and burn them at the stake in the last act, but the manager explained that owing to the scarcity of Christians in Iowa. and the high frieght rates, it would be necessary to cut that act out." Another show elicited the description of himself among others in the audience as "village aristocrats sitting like squabs in pigeonholes," and evidently the show was so bad that shortly, said "I went out and got a bromo-seltzer." While he much admired Shakespeare, I doubt the bard would have fared much better, for it seemed to be more important to entertain with a witty review than to instruct with a dour one. I guess they could get, away with it then and not worry about offending, because it was assumed that everyone had a sense of humor and that it was a good idea to prick big balloons.

What writer wouldn't be gratified to generate the living excitement that still jumps off a 1905 newspaper page? Ah, the good old days! Metabolic Researcher Neil Buist, associate professor of pediatrics and medical genetics of the University of Oregon Medical School in Portland, studies a test, an inherited defect in a child processes. Buist is director of the metabolic laboratory. Ends Sat Big A legend of a man.

Not much, maybe, but every so often a set of disparate "current move into conjunction much like heavenly bodies in their orbits, and something sparks. It happened to me recently while looking through some old family papers and finding that I had rather a "black sheep" of a grandfather who was editor of two newspapers, the Alton, Iowa Democrat, circa 1901 onward and the Ashland, Oregon Record, around about 1913.

It appears they enjoyed rather large freedom of the press in those days. An editor said pretty much what he felt like, and there wa much exchanging and quoting of editorial material among the small-town papers. Li fact, if a man were outspoken enough on any subject, he might find his words reprinted and commented upon for miles around, often humorously. Well, now, I have always felt that I came from fairly "liberated" stock, and hadn't given it much thought, but it turns out that said grandfather, Charles Barnett Wolf by name, became quite infamous as the scourge of the suffragettes way back in those early days. He was already widely noted for a fearless and freewheeling column called "Wolf Howls" when, one day, he made the mistake of not only printing, but answering the letter of a woman, named Alice Priest who was all for women getting the vote.

Wolfs reactive comments on "woman's place is in the home so riled the lady and stirred up such a controversy that he was called to account on the floor of the statewide women's suffrage convention at Panora (1905). In caustic attacks, the beleaguered editor was publicly called "the clown of Alton," and accused of "trying to marry every old maid in the county for years." The whole event received wide coverage under such headlines as "And Now the are After the Wolf-Howler of Iowa," and "Suf-- fragists on Trail of Editor Wolf," with translations even into Dutch, German and Scandinavian.

Ninth 752-4967 UA1ITY MAKES ft Green Stamps HARDWARE By Thelma Wilson For the Gazette-times Two years ago 11-year-old Richard was brought to the University of Oregon Medical School Hospital with what appeared to be acute appendicitis. His appendix was removed, but after the anesthesia wore -off he suddenly became irrational and violently ill. For two weeks pediatricians tried every known treatment to control his vomiting and hysteria, just as sud denly, his symptoms disappeared and he turned into a quiet, reasonable boy again. 3A month later he was back in the hospital again with the same indications of acute appendicitis.

Again he was violent and uncontrollable, but this time he almost died. Then sheer chance uncovered a clue the hospital staff had searched for in vain. A nurse, on her way to a laboratory with a urine specimen from the boy, stopped on the way for coffee. When she returned ten minutes later the specimen had turned pink. A quirk combination of acidity and temperature had unmasked an abnormal compound in his urine.

The reason for his intermittent symptoms was now clear and the staff knew what to look for. Subsequent tests -753-8511 AIR CONDITIONED 9:05 MAT.
