THE SACRAMENTO BEE Saturday July 1 1972 Page A5 There May Be Magic (Not To Mention Money) In Oystamins By Charles Hillinger Times-Post News Service think they will be more potent with pulverized rhino horns sailing through their blood streams Tom's father Verne Hayes 56 dreamed up the oyster pill Verne Hayes for years owned the largest oyster farm in the United Stales "Dad patented the process of making the pill" explains Tom "had a pharmaceutical house grind the oysters into powder and sugarcoat the powder into pills" But Tom Hayes adds his father "no sooner gets one idea off the ground than he's onto another" He says his parents were divorced some time after his father invented the oyster pill "My dad has been taking the pills ever since he began making them He's married to a young Japanese girl now but I don't think the pill has anything to do with his marriage" Verne Hayes has been in Japan the last two years buying up fish he exports to the United States Tom Hayes calls oysters a "naturally perfect food" "Dad figured the pill was an ideal way for people to eat oysters every day even if they didn't like oysters The pill doesn't taste like oysters It just tastes sweet from the sugar coating" A booklet entitled "An Oyster a Day" comes with a month's supply of pills It emphasizes the pills are neither a medicine nor a curative only a food supplement "In the old days the oyster was regarded as having a magical potency" Verne Hayes wrote in the booklet "We know there is no magic in foods only varying degrees of nutrition "The oyster has an astonishing reproductive capacity In a single season the female will produce over 10 million eggs while during the same period the male oyster will extrude over a billion sperm cells "The secret of the oyster's tremendous fertility may well lie in the abundance of minerals it absorbs from the sea "Oystamins are made from oysters gathered at the peak of their productive season and processed immediately for maximum benefit" One man in Eureka who has been taking the pills ever since Verne Hayes began making them seven years ago is Yoshio Mu-raki Muraki 60 has a daughter 35 He says he takes the pills for his low blood pressure What do they do for his sex life? "Oh yes" replied Muraki grinning ear to ear "You hear about my son He's 6 years old He was born after EUREKA Tom Hayes manufactures a pill in his Eureka plant which hasn't caught on in America but which he believes could be a bell ringer in China It's an oyster pill Hayes 25 has high hopes for his product called Oystamins "There's always been this business about oysters being an aphrodisiac" says Hayes explaining why his fresh oyster company went into the oyster pill business as a sideline "You know how people mention sex in the same breath with oysters "Don't laugh Chinese for centuries have had a fascination with aphrodisiacs Rhinos have almost been wiped out because of it" All rhinoceros species are on the endangered list slaughtered largely because Chinese men my wife and I both started taking oyster pills" Asked if he takes the pills Tom Hayes replied: "At my age? What for?" On the air Study Indicates Most 'Short' Sleepers Are Efficient Ambitious Five-Hour Telecast Of A Chess Match My own choice assuming the above paragraph has swayed Congress and persuaded the nation is "America the Beautiful" which Ray Charles performed so lovingly on Dick Cavett's show earlier this week It bespeaks more than love for "broad stripes and bright stars" it invites us to love the land and its people as well And in a much more attractive and singable musical setting With the nation's birthday celebration coming up Tuesday it's something to think about at least CAYETT INCIDENTALLY to keep the transitions going continues to demonstrate how much he will be missed if ABC follows through on its purportedly "tentative" decision to drop him come fall In explaining why Angela Davis canceled out on plans to appear on his show he made a point of distributing the blame where It belonged: ABC execs had decided at the last minute that anything Miss Davis might say ought to be countered by someone with an opposing point of view They proposed putting someone with Miss Davis She countered by proposing that such a counter-interview be conducted the following night so she and Cavett could keep to the original dialogue plans ABC counter-countered by proposing a same-night format that would give Miss Davis the first half of the show her presumed opponent the last half Miss Davis declined hence no interv iew Cavett's concern was rightly for the viewers As he noted after wishing there had been more cooperative-ness on both sides it is the viewer who loses out when things like this happen By Delos Smith NEW YORK (UPI) According to scientific estimates 5 to 10 per cent of young adults either sleep less than six hours or more than nine hours out of every 24 and are none the worse for it They're very special these short or long sleepers Most people find it necessary to sleep about eight hours in 24 in order to function effectively They are groggy with less loggy with more The young adults who were tested excited the curiosity of Drs Ernest Hartmann and Frederick Baekeland who operate sleep laboratories at Boston State Hospital and the State University of New York in Brooklyn respectively THESE SCIENTISTS wondered if there were psychological differences between the short and the long sleepers which might account for their places on the two extremes of the usual (and therefore sleep pattern They advertised for volunteers and got more than 400 responses Of those 260 were entirely short night or the long night in bed was a firmly established way of life and the young men all over 20 were healthy Hartmann and Baekeland put them through an exhaustive series of psychological tests and interviews Twenty-nine slept eight nights in the laboratories having their brain waves sleep-depths and dreams analyzed FOR THE SHORTS the results were clear-cut the scientists reported to an organ of the American Medical Association: "As a group they were efficient energetic ambitious persons who tended to work hard and to keep busy "They were relatively sure of themselves socially adept decisive and were satisfied with themselves and their lives They were somewhat conformist in their social and political views and they wished to appear very normal and 'All-American' They were extroverted and definitely were not worriers they seldom left themselves time to sit down and think about problems" THE LONG sleepers did not fall so readily into a psychological group the scientists reported Among them there was a wide variety of opinions on all subjects They were inclined to be nonconformist and critical They were more uncomfortable than the shorts "complaining of a variety of minor aches and pains and concerns Although none of them was seriously ill psychiatrically most had mild or moderate neurotic problems "Some were overtly anxious some showed considerable inhibition in aggressive and sexual functioning and some were mildly depressed They appeared in general not very sure of themselves their career choices or their life-styles" By John Hurst Be Television Writer CHANNEL 6 IS planning to carry the ultimate in sports coverage beginning at 10 am assuming Bobby Fischer actually shows up: A five-hour telecast of the World Chess Tournament's match between Fischer and Boris Spassky in Reyja-vik Iceland At first blink it sounds like the kind of thing that would excite only those under heavy sedation Especially since the game plan does not involve live coverage of the tourney itself Instead the moves will be telegraphed from Reykjavik to a Public Broadcasting Service studio in New York there to be shown on a display board and explained and analyzed by a guest expert or two Maybe that kind of setup will make it more exciting like say a 0-0 baseball pitchers' duel that runs 30 innings or so Especially if they use instant replays At any rate for those curious about chess it certainly should be educational SPEAKING OF BASEBALL isn't it time somebody did something about our national anthem? Which is not the non-sequitur it seems: The baseball season with its reliance on "The Star Spangled Banner" to get viewers on their feet and awake for the game is giving this klunky old tune more TV air play than Sonny and Cher's thematic "Vamp" ditty Why on earth should a nation such as ours have a war song as its national anthem? Joe Ortega The Happiest Businessman In The World says where he'll put his new $2000 all-velvet bedroom set and his Jan Garber records will be piped through every room "And I'll have a sundeck up there don't forget to put that down" "I'll tell you something" Joe is saying now while the man smears another glob of liquid on his suit "I've got a big huge diary And some of it is very sad Some of the things in it are very sad But you know what I haven't written a thing down in a year and a half Things are beautiful that's why For Little Joe Ortega things are really beautiful now" (Continued from Page Al) tomless in front ot your neighbors we don't need you Don't stay so long in the rest-room Don't sit down with the customers Wear clean panties "If you work here" says one placard "you obey the rules If you don't you don't work here" "That's how I operate" Joe says "And I don't have much trouble" There's a guy at the bar this stuffy afternoon who has a small vial of fluorescent liquid he is smear ing all over his suit The girls are crowding around under a black light watching him turn into some sort of overgrown dalmatian Joe looks at the scene blandly "I'm gonna have 30 girls in the new place" he says "and chandeliers lots of chandeliers The girls they'll be in sunken gold frames with mirrors all around You know why I'm doing this? For the people of Sacramento that's why they need a nice spot" And up on top of the new Ortega's Little Joe's will be a penthouse he On the go A roundup of Saturday and Sunday Events Art Showsl ryi FOX THE "NigKtcluBs children CACTUS FLOWER Abe Burrows' comedy as produced by JayRob in the JayRob Playhouse behind the Sacramento Inn tonight at 8:30 MUSIC CIRCUS opening show of the 22nd annual season at 8:30 pm tonight 7:30 tomorrow night iin the tent at 15th and Streets Jimmy Dean Kay Star- and The Imperials IN NEVADA CITY "Damn Yankees presented bv the Community Players of Nevada County in the Old Nevada Theater in Nevada City tonight at 8 o'clock Anthony Shaffer's exciting stage thriller produced brilliantly by the American Conservatory Theater of San Francisco: Geary Theater San Francisco today it 2:30 and 8:30 THE APPLE TREE The Jerry Bock-Sheldon Har nick musical it Delta College in Stockton tonight at 8 SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS opening show of the Music Circus Children's Theater this professional production directed by Andrew Gdle features puppets as well as live actors Today ot II am in the Music Circus tent 1419 St THE MOTHER GOOSE REVIEW an original show by Carol Cullens produced by the local dra-ma group called Major Gray's Company in the Bdcchus Theater in the Morse Building 2nd and Streets today at II am and 2 pm FRANKIE the veteran singing star qoes on it pm and midnight San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel Venetian Room JERRY LEWIS with singer Bobby Vinton Harrah's Reno pm and midnight SAMMY DAVIS twice nightly at Marrah's Tahoe ENGEL1ERT and midnight daily Sahara-Tahoa rock group due at the Gilded Cage 1732 Fulton Ave Monday evening KATE the singer is backed by the Sam Donahue orchestra it The Nugget in Sparks Nev OAKLAND MUSEUM "California Decorative" devoted to the work of Arthur and Lucia Mathews painters and designers of the through 1920s through July 30 'THIS IS MEXICO' Big exhibition of Mexican arts and crafts at Cal Expo open to orqaniied qroups through Aug 25 when it will be open to the public during State Fair do YOUNG MEMORIAL MUSEUM San Francisco "American West" exhibition of paintings and driwings depicting the opening of tha West 1820 to IStOs through Sept 4 Hours 10 to daily GREG KONDOS paintings and drawirgs by a noted Sacramento artist in the Artists Contemporary Gallery Crossroads shopping center Through July 7 CANDY STORE a new exhibit of paintings and drawings by Roy Deforest and Ralph Johnson WAYNE THIEBAUD i touring exhibition of new graphics by the Sacramento area's most famous artist California Palace of the Legion of Honor San Francisco 10 im to pm through July 30 I CROCKER ART GALLERY photographs from the museum's collection including nature studies by Ansel Adams Minor White Brett Weston and Wynn Bullock watercolors by Ed Cerrillo Hours 10 am to 5 pm today and tomorrow Musiccy Theater WHAT'S UP DOC?
