U. S. Official Defends
Ban on BCG Vaccine
r
Dr. Ro
LOUISVILLE, Ky.
bert J. Anderson, chief of the tu
berculosis division of the U. S.
public health service, defended
the government's refusal to license
the vaccine BCG, designed to whip
tuberculosis.
Said Dr. Anderson; "The con
troversy about its effectiveness
has not been resolved by clinical
application."
Furthermore, the vaccine has
not met minimum standards for
commercial production, he said.
"If it is licensed, it will be the
most unstable vaccine licensed."
Anderson admitted the vaccine
has been used widely in other parts
of the world, but said its useful
ness probably is confined to "em
ergency" areas and test programs.
He also pointed out that BCG
vaccination money would divert
funds from present control pro
grams and treatment of those who
now have the disease.
BCG has been in existence many
years, but its usefulness has been
debated vigorously in recent
months.

MEDICINE TREE
—By Joan Knight, Ravalli Republican
On the highway leading to Medicine Springs above Darhv
in the Bitter Root valley is an ancient yellow^pine. The base
now rocked up in an effort to preserve the tree On the above
siÄrtftüs sv&r* —3
monies were held at the tree, which was decorated with beads and
trophies until it resembled a bizarre Christmas tree. At one of the
last of these ceremonies in the 1920's more than 21,000
gathered.
persons
The story of the tree is that a mountain sheep was boasting
of his strength to his ancient rival, the coyote. To prove his words
the ram butted the tree with such strength that one horn im
bedded in the tree, held him prisoner until death. Old-timers
say the horn remained in the tree until removed by vandals.
They now point to the scar.
Indians claimed that when a warrior was pursued by enemies
he was pronounced safe upon reaching the tree but, if caught
before reaching the tree, his enemies were justified in having
their way with him.
