IAP Wire photo I Procedure For Obtaining Sewers After Annexation To City Explained By Slankard How resident of suburban areas may obtain sewers after they become a part of the city, was told today by City Manager M. W. Slankard. The residents of such areas would first petition the city council for sewage disposal lines to serve their property. After due con sideration, the council would request the city manager to secure plans, specifications, and cost of the requested sanitary improvements. Plans would be drawn and an estimate of cost obtained. The council would hold a hearing for the area affected. Citizens resid ing in the area would be given an opportunity to voice their ap proval or disapproval of the plans. If the citizens felt that the es timated costs were too high, the whole matter would be dropped. If no opposition were voiced, bids would be called for and a con tract awarded to the lowest bid der, if he's within the manager's estimate. In the event a contract Is awarded It would be up to the city engineer and city manager to see that the contractor docs the work according to the speci fications agreed upon by the city council and the citizens of the area concerned. In no case can the cost exceed the manager's estimate. The period from the time peti tions are presented until con struction Is started is usually about 90 days. If the engineering is started right away, it is pos sible to cut this waiting periol to 60 days, depending upon the work to be done. "The city crewi are In much better posiilon now than ever be fore to maintain the sewers and streets in this expanding city," said Slankard. "Note ihnuld "be made of the excellent work doi:e this past summer on the resi dential streets within the city. "The city in the future expects to do more maintenance work on all existing streets. The past year saw many unimproved streets made passable with use of the city maintainer and equip ment," the city manager added. "In case an area becomes a sanitary district before becom ing a part of the city, that area would still be obligated to pay off its financial burden. Finan cially, a city is far better fixed to back bonds than a sanitary dis trict is." Slankard declared. Roseburg's bonded indebtedness for general obligation bonds will be $11,000 at the end of the cur rent year, the city manager pointed out. Bonding companies would buy bonds from a sanitary district in the event the area be comes a part of the city. Slank ard added that sometimes a san itary district is unable to sell bonds even after approving a bond issue. Official Bubble Gum Tester ? Says It Takes 'Scientific1 Knowledge To Blow Bubbles Gen. MacArthur To Ease Rules For Jap Fishermen TOKYO, Sept. 21. UP Gen eral MacArthur has decided to ease somewhat the restrictions on Japanese fishermen, It was learned. But no change in the prescribed fishing area is expect ed in the announcement. The Japanese are observing fishing regulations and have earned more leeway, one official said. This has been the result, he said, of headquarters' assur ance that only by keeping within the restrictions could the fisher men earn the respect and trust of other countries concerned. Any change in the MacArthur line to provide a larger fishing area would be of minor value, it was pointed out. The catch is up to 90 per cent of prewar despite an area of operations only one fourth as large. This is due to improved fishing methods. This vear's catch Is expected to exceed 7.000,000,000 pounds with even more next year. Have Your Home Landscaped on F. H. A.

(llii'iMiij.miinrTm o (..,.,.ruriinui.iia j Jill II By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK-t.inA Brooklyn chemical engineer haj a Job any kid in America might envy he testa bubble gum all day long. Gets paid for it, too. "It took me two months to blow my first bubble, said Dr. Morris Nafash, research director for the Bazooka Bubble Gum company. "Now I blow about a hundred bubbles a day." But he has a 12-year-old son who can beat him. It is his duty to test the texture and elasticity of the gum and to develop new flavors. He came to his post after 11 years as re search associate of Columbia uni versity's department of chemical engineering. Takes Scienca "At first, I didn't see how I could keep busy," said Dr. Naf ash, a small, dark earnest man of 49. "But I have found bubble gum a real challenge. It takes ill the scientific knowledge I have. You'd be amazed at the research going into this penny product." Fortunately, American inven tive genius got started first, and the United States now has at least a five-year-edge over So viet Russia In bubble gum pro duction. "Other countries copy our wrappers," said Dr. Nafash com placently, "but none can dupli cate the gum itself." Bubble gum is a $10- to $15 mil lion dollai a year industry and In tensively competitive. There are about 25 companies that turn it out. Adults Too "Quite a few adults are turn ing to bubble gum because they get more for their money," said Dr. Nafash. "It has about three times as much sugar as ordinary gum." The gum base Itself Is either kynthetic or natural rubber plas ticized with resins, waxes and oils. And if the gum doesn't snap back into shape the children soon find it out and boycott that brand. They spread the word quickly to their pals. "We go on the theory that the average kid is a shrewd buyer." said Dr. Nafash. "A pennv is oft en his entire capita, and he de mands more for his money than the grownup." As a result the bubble gum business has had to develop spe cial gimmicks to enclose In the gum wrappers like tattoo pic tures, photos of athletes or movie stars. Unlike the radio giveaway programs, no manufacturer has been able yet to enclose a trip to Paris with his gum. But it may come. The kids are always demanding something new.

Na turally, the children resent this. It isn't so easy for them to stick used gum under the dining room table for future chewing. "My own kids solve this by leavlnir the mim in dIbg. nl ter overnlcht." smiled Dr. Ni7. 1 ash. There has been concern voiced over the increasing size of the bubbles. Some parents have fear ed .tunior might blow a bubble so large he's be wafted aloft by a strong wind. Dr. Nafash sava this Is unlike ly. "The largest bubble I ever heard of was only 12 inches in diameter, and that was blown In a championship contest. A bubble of eight to ten inches is very good ior an amateur. "It Isn't probable that kids will ever blow bubbles much bigger than at present, no matter how much we Improve the elasticity of the" gum." u a very simple, saia IT. SALEM, Sept. 21. (IP) A valuable historical record, con taining the' names of everv fam ily living In Oregon In 1850, la bein prepared b David Duni way, slate archivist. It la being compiled from fed eral census records. The popula- nun oi viregon was u.ro at mat time, and was concentrated in the Willamette valley and on the coast. Duniwav said 2.000 conies of the book would be published. When It is nnisnea, ne will prepare a simi lar book for 1890, when the popu lation or me siate was aii.YiH. He said he has run onto some tough problems. 1 he worst is the fact that the 1850 census takers wrote down the family names by I ear, instead of having the family 1 heads write them down. 1 This resulted In some weird spellings. Kor Instance, the j pioneer Marlon county Ahst fam- i ily was spelled Anps in the cen sus. And the spellings given to French-Canadian n a m e a are ! something to behold, Dunlway said. Dunlway said the book would be of a great value to historians and to persons who want to trace their families. Every family head will be indexed, both by sound and by spelling.
