Marrow may help in cancer battle
TULSA (AP) — A Tulsa doctor
says he’s hopeful that combining a
patient’s own infection-fighting
system with advanced medical tech-
nology could provide a breakthrough
in the battle against cancer.
Using a transplant harvesting proce-
dure, the doctor punches a series of
holes through the pelvic hip bones,
sucking out the patient’s bone
marrow. Later, the bone marrow can
be injected intravenously into the
patient.
Between the harvesting and the
rcinfusion, the cancer patient can
receive chemotherapy in dramatically
higher dosages than are normally
given.
“That is the crux of the bone-
marrow transplant therapy,” said Dr.
Charles Stmad, oncologist at St. Fran-
cis Hospital’s Natalie Wanen Bryant
Cancer Center. “Many times the
upper limit of dosage for various
chemotherapies was established at the
point when the patient’s bone marrow
would be permanently oblated.”
Stmad moved to Tulsa in July to
head up the hospital’s new bone-
marrow transplant unit. He said bone-
marrow transplants are being investi-
gated at several hospitals in the United
Slates as an important new strategy in
the battle against malignancies.
Stmad said St. Francis physicians
have harvested bone marrow from
seven patients, and have reinfused
three patients with their own bone
marrow. Of those three, Stmad said,
two patients successfully accepted the
bone marrow. One patient died of
massive infection.
The bone marrow is the site of
production of the three major compo-
nents of the body’s blood — red blood
cells, which carry oxygen to the cells;
platelets, which are the keys to the
clotting process; and the white blood
cells, which fight infection.
Even in conventional doses of dnig
therapy, Strnad said, the patient’s bone
marrow can be damaged, hampering
the patient’s ability to fight infection
and assist in the fight against cancer.
He said in most cases, the autolog-
ous transplanting of bone marrow
(meaning the donor and recipient arc
the same person) is successful and
most patents’ bodies begin producing
red and white blood cells and platelets
within days or weeks after the
rcinfusion.
Stmad said patients may be suitable
for bone marrow transplants as long as
the malignancy has not spread into the
bone marrow and the patient’s bone
marrow is “cellular enough” —
containing enough of the stem cells
that are precursors for red and white
blood cells and platelets.
He said the St. Francis program also
is limiting its first patients to those
who have cancers that are responsive
to chemotherapy.

Don’t end up
in the wrong hand
It’s instructive to watch Careful
Charlie play a hand He pays attention
to his spots in the trump suit and al-
ways handles his entries with caution.
When the jack of hearts was led
against four spades. Charlie ducked in
dummy East won the king and re-
turned the suit. Charlie then played a
diamond right away, finessing his 10.
West won the king and played back a
low trump Declarer won the king in
his hand and played back the jack
West took the ace and exited with his
last trump. Charlie won that trick in
dummy. Now what?
Obviously declarer needs to take an-
other diamond finesse He also needs
to take a winning club finesse But it
all has to be done in such a way that he
will not suddenly be stranded in the
wrong hand What Charlie did was
simple enough — he led the club queen
from dummy When East played low,
he unblocked with the jack. He was
now able to play another club and re-
tain the lead in dummy. After making
two club tricks, he switched back to di-
amonds. taking the successful finesse
against East's diamond queen to make
his contract.
Other plays can lead to failure. Sup-
pose declarer first plays the nine or 10
of clubs from dummy. That's fine, but
what happens the next time the suit is
led? If declarer then leads dummy’s
queen, defender East can cover and
declarer will suddenly find himself in
the wrong hand to play diamonds.

Oklahoma Gas and Electric
Company’s system-wide reorganiza-
tion and downsizing program is prog-
essing smoothly, according to Bob
Helms Sapulpa district manager for
OG&E.
The downs: /ing part of the program
is through reduction in number of
company employees only. The down-
sizing basically was accomplished
w ith a voluntary early retirement prog-
ram which reduced employment by
465 employees, or 11 percctn of
()< '■&F’s total workforce, Helms said.
The reorganization involves
restructuring the previous six regions
into three regions (eastern, western
and metro), with headquarters located
in Muskogee, Norman and Oklahoma
City. Helms added that there is no
intent of closing any OG&E district
offices.
OG&E has reduced their electric
rates three times in the past 12 months,
totaling more than $50 in rate reduc-
tions. These efforts will us contonic
providing a high quality service to our
customers at the lowest possible rale,
Helms said.
“OG&E is very active in helping the
communities we serve bring in new
industry and businesses to their area,"
Helms said. “We want to be very
active in your community, and we
want to be your electric company.”
Pair may be questioned
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Del
City police are considering a trip to
Florida to question a man and woman
who were arrested there in connection
with the shoothing deaths of an Okla
homa City woman and two conveni-
ence store clerks in Memphis, Tcnn.
Panama City, Fla., police Capt.
Danny Boyle said Michael Wayne
Howell, 28, and Mona Lisa Watson,
27, were arrested Sunday after a shoot-
out with police at 3:45 p.m.
Howell and Ms Watson were
wounded in the shooting that began
when Howell pulled a gun on officers
during a routine trafficc stop, Boyle
said.
Howell, Ms. Watson and two other
men were arrested when their car
crashed following a short chase, Boyle
said. The car was registered to Air
Force Sgt. Charlene Calhoun, 23,
whose body was found Nov. 17 in far
southeast Oklahoma City, Boyle said
Del City police Lt. Chuck Ligon
said he will consult the Oklahoma
County District Attorney’s office
before deciding whether to go to Flori-
da to interview Howell and Ms.
Watson.
Del City police believe the pair
killed Ms. Calhoun Nov. 2 at the Tink-
er Del Village Apartments in Del City.
On that day, witnesses called police
saying they heard a gunshot and saw a
woman and a man loading a body into
a small, silver car. Police found a pool
of blood and human skull fragments at
the scene.

Memphis slayings and to Howell and
Ms. Watson was found burning near
the Del City apartments. Police think
the pair killed Ms. Calhoun for her car,
Ligon said.
Boyle said Howell and Ms. Watson
are being held on murder warrants
issued by Tennessee authorities in
connection with the robbery-murders
of two convenience store clerks in
Memphis Nov. 1 and 2, and on motor
vehicle theft complaints.
Howell, Ms. Watson and another
passenger, Dwayne Matthew Sutton,
37, of Fort Walton Beach, Fla., were
shot by officers during Sunday’s
chase, Boyle said.
Howell underwent surgery for a
thigh wound that broke his leg, Boyle
said. Ms. Watson, who was shot in the
neck, was being observed by doctors,
Boyle said. Sutton was treated and
released with a shoulder wound.
Boyle identified the fourth passen-
ger as John Allen Ackley, 34, of Fort
Walton Beach.
Panama City police, county sher-
iff’s deputies and Florida State High-
way Patrolmen joined in the chase,
Boyle said.
“We didn’t know until 30 minutes
after we had them in custody who they
were,” Boyle said.

Tractor triangle is a tangled mess
PAWNEE, Okla. (AP) — Osage
County farmer Carrol Weaver simply
wants his tractor back. But it isn’t that
simple.
Weaver’s tractor was stolen from
near his Grainola farm in 1978. Nine
years later, it was recovered and given
back to Weaver, although only for a
short time.
According to state law, the tractor
no longer belongs to Weaver. It has
been given back to the farmer who
bought it about three years ago.
Now the 60-year-old Weaver finds
himself in the midst of a legal tangle he
describes as a “nightmare.”
Even the judge who ruled against
Weaver in the case says the state
Supreme Court ruling that sets a two-
year limit on returning stolen property
to its original owner is a bad law.
Weaver’s trouble started in 1978
after he borrowed money from a feder-
al farm agency and used part of the
loan to buy the $12,000 tractor. The
tractor was then stolen, and investiga-
tors said Weaver was one of several
victims of a theft ring specializing in
farm machinery.
After criminal statute of limitations
had expired, officers began talking to a
prime suspect in the thefts and were
able to retrieve some of the stolen
equipment. Weaver learned that the
tractor was stored for about five years
near Pawnee.
It wound up in the hands of another
Osage County farmer who lost it to a
Pawnee bank when loan payments
became delinquent. The tractor then
was sold to a dealership at a sheriff’s
sale in 1984, and the dealership sold it
to a Pawnee-area farmer.
The farmer kept the tractor until this
past summer when investigators noti-
fied him that he was in possession of
stolen goods.
The machine was returned to Weav-
er. Three months later, he received a
letter from the district attorney telling
him there was a problem regarding the
tractor’s ownership.
Weaver said he met in court with
officers who had realized there could
be problems in identifying the legal
owners of the property. After the hear-
ing, he was told the tractor had to be
given back to its last owner, although
everyone agreed the tractor was
Weaver’s and had been stolen.
Associate District Judge Doug
Rcvard, who ordered Weaver to return
to tractor, said he disagrees with the
law.
“I hope it’s changed. It encourages
thievery,” he said.
Rcvard said owners of stolen prop-
erty that is stored in an open location
and remains in the “vicinity” from
which it was stolen, have two years to
take court action to recover the goods.
If no action is taken, the goods
become the property of the current
owner.
Ponca City voters to vote on emergency calls
PONCA CITY, Okla. (AP) —
Ponca City voters go to the polls Tues-
day to decide whether to intall an
enhanced emergency telephone
system that would let residents call for
any type of emergency help by dialing
9-1-1.
If the system is approved, callers
who dial 9-1-1 would reach a central
dispatching center that could send out
police, fire, ambulance and even coun-
ty emergency units.
The enhanced system also would
pinpoint the caller’s location in case he
or she were unable to give it to the

dispatcher. That is a proven advantage
in situations involving children, the
elderly or panicked victims, according
to Norman Coffelt, Ponca City Direc-
tor of Public Safely.
The special election was called by
the Ponca City Commission because
extra costs required by the enhanced
911 system must be paid through a
surcharge on monthly telephone bills.
The charge initially will be 54 cents
per month but will be reduced to 33
cents per month after its first year.
Coffelt said the city would pay an
additional $25,000.

cles. Then, all that trapped fat is
naturally "flushed” right out of your
body because it cannot be digested

change in the color of your stool as
the fat particles are being eliminated.
“Pills Do All the Work"
According to the doctors, the fat-
magnet pills do all the work while you
quickly lose fat with no starvation diet
menus to follow, no calorie counting,
no exercising, and no hunger pangs.
It is 100% safe You simply take the
pills with a glass of water before meals.
