Synthesizing a Chemical Vaccine for Cancer Research *Short chains appear on cancer cells Invite IE A Members PAGE 5-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY?. 1973 short , sugar chain Cancir wllsj Teacher Association To Sponsor Feb. 19 Debate synthetic 4 vaccine molecule Tud'fh H0'*u-V rtlu/?, Key To Health Scientist Reports Renewed Hope For Chemical Cancer Vaccine A possible step toward a chemical vaccine against cancer is being worked on at the Salk institute, in San Diego. Unlike most vaccines, it is a synthetic chemical, con­ structed to resemble a chemical on the surfaces of cancer cells. In the initial experiments, this chemical stimulated enough immunity to delay the development of tumors in mice that were given cancer. It had generally been thought that vaccination against cancer would not be practical, since there are so many kinds of tumors. A different vaccine would be necessary to protect against each type. However, it was reported in the last few years that virtually all tumor cells have on their surfaces a chemical structure that reacts in laboratory tests with a certain plant protein. Normal cells also have this structure, but only during a certain stage of cell division. Dr. W. Thomas Shier decided that a vaccine based on that structure might be able to stimulate the immune system to respond against all tumor cells without doing much harm to normal cells. Dr. Shier first had to analyze the key parts of the chemical and then synthesize a replica. He injected mice with this substance and then, later, injected them with cancer cells or a cancer-causing chemical. The results were that the development of tumors was Congressman Offers Help To Families Of POW Congressman Robert Mc- Clory has expressed his con­ cern about families of those prisoners of war and missing in action who have not heard about their loved ones since the cease fire. Names of several persons were not on lists supplied by North Vietnam that had been anticipated. Congressman McClory expressed joy for those who have good news about prisoners and have been informed by the Defense Department. He offers the assistance of his staff members living in the district as well as his own services to those he may be a51e to help concerning in­ formation^about this post-war development. ^Offices are maintained at Woodstock, Waukegan and E$Igin.

Three different tests revealed no marked adverse effect on normal cells. These results are only preliminary, and they promise only partial protection against cancer. But Dr. Shier has opened up an approach to cancer once thought hopeless, and he is still pursuing it in his work at the Salk Institute.

CLETA will sponsor a debate between Dr. Curtis E. Plott, executive secretary of the IEA, and Vito Bianco, head of professional relations activities for the office of the Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction. Both men will come from Springfield for the meeting. Dr. Plott joined IEA on April 1, 1971. Active in classroom teaching, he has been a high school mathematics and history teacher, a counselor, an assistant principal, and a visiting professor at California State college at Long Beach. He served as assistant executive secretary of the 94,000-member C a l i f o r n i a T e a c h e r s ' association-Southern section. Bianco has been with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for some years. Before assuming the duties of the professional relations activities chairman, Gary Swanson Named Head Of Explorer Post Explorer Post 500, sponsored by Commonwealth Edison, held officer elections last Wed­ nesday night. Those elected are Gary Swanson, president; Kurt Mayer, vice-president; Greg O'Halleran, treasurer; and Kathy Berent, secretary. All live in McHenry. The purpose of Post 500 is to give interested high school students the opportunity to visit Edison facilities and other area industries and talk with engineers, mathematicians, scientists, and businessmen about their jobs. Locomotive will be going along. It is hoped a good turnout of members will be on hand for this visit to Wingate school. Voyageurs are welcome to bring their wives, mothers, daughters or friends. Members are still making or collecting soft toys, new or used children's clothes, crib blankets or sheets, and other articles for the children. he was with the department's certification office. The principal topic for debate will be a report made by tthe OSPI's Task Force on Cer­ tification. The trend seems to be toward various programs of "accountability" in teacher certification. CLETA says vitally important to teachers and administrators is the fact that how and by whom such accountability will be deter­ mined is not made clear by the report. Dr. Plott's side in the debate is expected to include points made in a minority Task Force report issued by Joseph Pasteris, president of the Illinois Education association. Scout Troops Score A First Scout Troops 145 and 456 of Wonder Lake will be the first of the 1,000,000 of Boy Scouts of America to be trained in use of personal flotation devices, fire extinguishers, and safe boating habits through the cooperation of Commandant of United States Coast Guard, the National Commodore of United States Coast Guard auxiliary and the National Office of Boy Scouts of America.
