Chatter is a very expressive

DMSO-Old Drug, New Arthritis Hope
Arthritis, rheumatism, bur
sitis and other musculoskele
tal problems are being
attacked with a new chemo
therapy in Europe and. Mex
ico employing dimethyl sul
foxide (DM SO) It is not in
jected or taken orally but
simply applied to the surface
of the skin over the afflicted
areas. It offers long lasting
pain relief and increased mo
bility. '
In the U.S., the drug, first
synthesized in 1866, is now
being evaluated by the Na
tional Academy of Sciences.
The U.S. Food and Drug Ad
ministration has released
DMSO as a prescription drug
for musculoskeletal injuries
and inflammations in horses.
It's a prescription drug for
humans in nearly a dozen
countries in Europe and Lein
America.
Jtilt how the chemical
works on musculoskeletal ail
ments is not yet known, but
according to Dr. J. T. Leonel
Topia, medical director of the
Tecate, Mexico clinic located
31 miles south of San Diego,
it has high penetrating power,
being carried quickly through
the skin to inflamed joints,
where it is believed to soften
calcium and cartilage. It is de
rived from natural sources
and is non-toxic and is an ex
tremely effective muscle re
laxant and pain killer. Stiff
fingers are again mobile.
Joints move freely without
pain.
The various forms of arthri
tis respond differently to the
treatment, some more rapidly
than others. After the first se
ries of treatments have been
administered, relief continues
for up to six months or more.
Subsequent treatments give
progressively longer periods
of relief.
Dr. Topia reports that the
Tecate dink, operated by
Arthritis Clinics Internation
al, bat successfully applied
the DMSO treatment to more
than 2600 patients with no
harmful side effects noted.
However, he does point out
that DMSO is not a cure for

plied to skin surface over af

arthritis, as symptoms will re
turn in time.
In spite of safe, world-Wide
usage, the drug has not yet
been accepted for use on the
20,300,000 arthritis victims in
the United States (The Ar
thritis Foundation estimate).
The Food and Drug Adminis
tration has turned the drug
over to the National Academy
of Sciences for evaluation.
If the new chemotherapy
based on dimethyl sulfoxide
fulfills its promise, senior citi
zens, professional athletes and
those in middle life who are
prone to overdoing heavy
work or exercise will have
cause for rejoicing. Dr. Arthur
Scherbel, Cleveland Clinic's
well-known rheumatologist
stated in an article in Science
Digest: "We received DMSO
early and studied many condi
tions with it. It does things
we've never seen with other
drugs."

award was based on my overall
past service to the college. Is
the award tax free?
Q. Some of my furniture and
belongings were damaged when
my cellar was flooded. How do
I compute my casualty loss
deduction?
A. The first $100 of your un
insured non-business loss is
not deductible. A separate $100
limitation applies to each in
dividual casualty.
It is important that you'
make a list of the lost,
damaged, or destroyed items
as soon after the casualty as
possible. For personal prop
erty, such as furniture, cloth
ing, etc., the loss must be es
tablished item by item. To de
termine the amount of loss,
you must know the original
cost or other basis of the item
to you and its fair market
value just before the casualty.
If you bought the item, your
basis is usually your cost.
If the item is completely
lost or destroyed, your loss is
usually your basis or the fair
market value just before the
loss, whichever is less.
If the item is damaged, the
loss is the difference between
its fair market value just be
fore the casualty and the fair
market value just afterwards,
limited to the basis. The de
crease in the fair market value
may often be measured by the
cost of repairing the item.
For details on how to com
pute your loss for nonbusiness
real property and a convenient
workbook for determining your
loss, see IRS Publication 584,

Your Disaster Loss." Contact

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM
ADOPTED
The Division of Law and Order
announces the publication and the
implementation of an Equal
Employment Opportunity Program
pursuant to guidelines issued by the
U. S. Department of Justice.
Copies of the Equal
Employment Opportunity Program
are available at the Office of the
Division of Law and Order at 3800
Barrett Drive, Raleigh, North
Carolina or by mail from the
Division of Law and Order, P. 0.
Box 27687, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27611 or by telephone to
Ms. Charlene Sutton at 829-7974.
It is the policy of the Division of
Law and Order to assure equal
employment opportunity for all
positions within the Division.
Particular steps have been taken
pursuant to the Equal Employment
Opportunity Program to assure
equal employment opportunity to
women and members of minority
groups.
Q. Under what circumstances
can travel to a foreign country
be deducted as an employment
related educational expense?
A. Your expenditures for travel
as a form of education are
generally deductible to the ex
tent the major portion of your
travel activity during the pe
riod of travel directly main
tains or improves skills re
quired in your employment,
trade, or business.
Here is an example of how
the rules would operate: You
are a teacher of French. While
on sabbatical leave, granted
for travel, you traveled in
France to improve your knowl
edge of the French language.
Your itinerary was chosen, and
the major portion of your ac
tivities was undertaken, to im
prove your skills in the use
and teaching of the French
language, thus benefiting you
as a teacher of French. You
may deduct your travel ex
penses as educational expenses,
even though your activities
consisted largely of visiting
French schools and families, at
tending motion pictures, plays,
and lectures in the French lan
guage, and similar activities.
Had you been a teacher of
English or mathematics, such
a trip to France would not have
maintained or improved your
required skills, and your ex
penses would not have been
deductible.
BARTLETT PEAR
The delicious pear
known as the Bartlettwas
first found as a wild tree

This year, here in this

in local markets. There
should be plenty of pears

Decision that Colonel Unsuitable
WASHINGTON - A black
American Army colonel
nominated to serve as a
military adviser in Chile was
rejected by a U. S. Navy
captain there who never
consulted the Chilean
government, the Pentagon said
recently.
Officials said Navy Capt. R.
E. Davis, chief of the U. S.
military group in Chile, acted
alone in deciding that Col. T.
M. Gafford was unsuitable as
an adviser to the Chilean
Army.
"His (Davis') assessment of
the situation was invalid
resulting in an error in
judgment," the Pentagon said
in a statement.
The Chilean government
denied that it had a role in the
decision.
Gafford, attending a
Spanish language school at the
Defense Language Institute in
California, was chosen by the
Staff of the U. S. Joint Chiefs
of Staff to join the U. S.
military group in Chile.
The nomination- was
forwarded through official
channels to the U. S. embassy
in Chile, where it was acted on
by Davis, who. without
consultation, notified
Washington that Gafford
would not be acceptable in
Chile, Pentagon officials said.
The Washington Post, citing
what it described as
authoritative sources on
Capital Hill and the Pentagon,
said that after Gafford was
recommended for the post.
Gen. William B. Rosaen
commander-in-chief of the U.
S. Southern Command in
Panama, reported to the
Pentagon that Chile had turned
Gafford down, allegedly
because of his race.

A 20-degree reduction in
