Research Into Utilizing Wood Waste Dunn's Topic (Continued from Page One) ment and Industrial research cen ters have been established. "They are the medium for ex panding the industry," Dunn de clared. The Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. has a development laboratory at Longview on which they spend "several hundred thousand dol lars a year, with a point of view of adding to their profits," as well as devising means for using more of their waste materials. But the Weyerhaeuser Company Is "not entirely selfish," Dean Dunn believes, because they aid the entire industry. "They appreciate the fact that there might be an end to the materials available," he com mented. The Oregon Forest Products Laboratory was established in 1941. It is supervised by the State Board of Forestry, but associated with Oregon State College at Cor vallis. Its advisory board Includes representatives of Industry. There are nine specialists on the staff and its sizable laboratory is par tially financed through the sever ance tax on timbpr, a-s well as through general fund appropria tions. Research started there with the objective of finding uses for "cur rent waste materials" the large sawdust and slab piles now going up In smoke. Research is now being conducted Into methods and processes for using wood in its natural form, waste and residue, and chemical utilization. Fibreboard materials have been developed. New and expanded uses for low grade lumber have been found. Sugars, alcohol, and yeasts have been extracted. Much work has been done In the latter, chemical utilization field by the wood alcohol plant at Springfield. Dean Dunn said there Is a con stant Interchange of Ideas be tween the laboratory industries and with various localities, through such agencies as their chambers of commerce.

The bill provides that all charges must be listed plainly. The Senate banking committee introduced a bill to let banks re main open, If they wish on Lin col n's birthday, Washington's Birthday, Columbus Day, Armis tice Day and election day.

Dunn, Baker, Introduced a bill to let school boards con tract with the State Board of Higher Education for freshman and sophomore classes to be sponsored jointly by the boards. In effect, it would provide junior college work for any school dis trict which wanted to give it. Another hot issue was prepared by Sen. Neuberger, Portland De mocrat. It would ask Congress to establish a Columbia Valley Authority for Northwest power, flood control and navigation. Sen. Lynch, Portland, said he is introducing a bill to provide a mandatory fine for minors who give false ages in order to buy beer. Act Has Reverse Effect Secretary of State Newbry told the Legislature that motor vehicle revenues In 1948 were $1,550, 000 less than In 1947. The drop, Newbry said, was caused by the 1947 Legislature's motor trans portation act. This act was pass ed to provide more revenue, but had the opposite effect. Constipated?

THE NEWS-REVIEW this privilege on the first day of the session. Other former mem bers, a 100-year-old Civil War veteran, and a high school boy who had acted as speaker of the House at a Youth Congress held here during the summer have also been so recognized. The first few days of the ses. sion I had to summon up mv courage in order to walk through the doors with an atmosphere of belonging for I dreaded being challenged by the omnipotent doorkeepers and having to prove that I had a right to enter. But the blessed day arrives sooner or later for all newcomers when the doorkeepers recognize them and open the door without hesitation and with a word of friendly greeting. That is a welcome ex perience for a rather uncertain newcomer. -firm's A JOB TOR. NEW METHOD Cleaning and DftUup fx J
