'Rescued Rang' Program To Climax On Aug. 6 LAKEVIEW P Lak county "reseed the range" program will reach a summer climax Aug. 6, when ranchers and grating experts convene (or a county-wide picnic at Paisley. A demonstration of sage clearing and range reseeding will be given on the Louis Withers ranch at Pais ley that day, to show how sage brush lands can be converted into good pasture. Lake county, which has three million acres of sageland, is try ing to replace the sage with per ennial grasses that cattle can eat. Annual prizes and a five-y ear $1,000 prite are awarded to the rancher who does the best rehab ilitation job on his land. The Portland Chamber of Com merce promised help to Lake county in promoting the reseeding program. The chamber plans to hold a contest to select the "grass man of the year." An area planted in crested wheatgrass will produce ten times the feed of that same area when it contained sagebrush.

Distributors of Hancock Petroleum Products For Douglas County Canada's Rivers Show Steady Rise MISSION, B. C, f.W The lordly Fraser river surged upward Tuesday and other British Colian bia rivers followed suit in the wake of the hot spell over the interior of the province. Dike patrols went up last night on Nicomen island near this lower Fraser valley town and others will follow as the river reaches the danger level of 20 feet here. The level rose 1.24 feet to 18.12 feet since Tuesday at New West minster. Dike patrols will be nor mal precautions" taken on exper ience of past years. Monday temperatures of more than 94 degree at many points in the interior were expected to con tinue excepting the lower half of the province where cloud blankets have lowered them about five de grees. The run-off on the average is IS percent behind schedule as alternate hot and cold spells have failed to unloose all the winter snowfall from basin peaks. At Princeton, B. C, the Similka meen river still is two feet below its banks despite a two-foot climb. The smaller Tulameen river in Lower Princeton already is brim ming the banks and any further rise will start water lapping at lower streets. The Columbia river, whose mighty wash passes through Washington and Oregon states, still has not reached the danger point at Trail, B. C, despite a steady rise.

Mel Venter, reveals that the calls he makes on his week-day feature are not selected at random. Venter, whose program is currently aired 10:15 to 10:30 a.m., can be heard Monday thruogh Friday over KRNR. Says Mel, "Those calls are not a matter of chance. We have access to 124 tele phone books, many ot which naturally include a number of cities and towns in one volume The calls are controlled so that each telephone exchange geographically receives an equal number over a given per iod of time and, therefore, if we live that long, every Pacific coast resident with a telephone will eventually be given i chance at the 'Tello-Test jackpot. And people are smart," adds Mel. "Although our questions vary in degree of difficulty, we have found that, on the average, the fourth person called comes up with the correct answer. That's about a .250 hatting average , , , good enough for any league."

Rather Have Peace Than Be President, Truman Says ATLANTIC City. N. J. UP) President Truman says he would "rather have lasting peace than be president." His statement was in a message to the Independent Order of B'rith Abraham. Grand Master Louis A. Weissman of New York read it to 600 delegates at the 63rfl annual convention. "The best way we can work to ward (lasting peace) is by support ing the United Nations," Truman's message said, "by giving leader ship and support to the free people of the world, and by keeping our own country prosperous, strong and united. "I am working for it all the time and I'm receiving help from all parts of the country, for the American people are deeply de voted to the idea of world peace. Power Situation Told Meeting Of Oregon Grangers ONTARIO. Ore.. June 14 UP) Norman Stoll, general counsel for the Bonneville power administra tion, told the annual grange con vention delegates here that there would be a lot of northwest power development proposals in the next Congress. Next year, he said. miKht be the year of major decisions. Grangers attitude on D o w e r questions should be reached by a siuny ot me merits: "there is too much at stake in these water resource development questions to permit these matters to be settled in a battle of catch words, slogans and epithets," he said. The grange, he said, has helned through its public power activities in promoting use ot electricity and in keeping rates down. Homes and farms in the northwest use two and a half times as much electricity as the national average, ne saia. In industry, the northwest b e- cause of its available cheap power. produces one-hall of the country s aluminum, StoU said. Moreover, power is subsidizing reclamation so that water users on the Columbia basin project will pay only one-lourth the costs, ne added. Despite these accomplishments. Stoll said, only one-tenth of the power potential of the northwest has been developed. Crisis Niaring Continued development is mov ing toward a crisis because of major differences of opinion. He said the Hoover commission report and CVA proposals bear this out. The president's water resources policy commission report, due la ter this year, likely will add em phasis, he said. Among big problems, he said, are these: Financial: funds must be made available by "a more sensible me thod" while still providing for ade quate presidential and congress ional control. The CVA and the Columbia basin account amend ment recently before Congress, were aimed at this, he said, with the latter making interest on power investments available for irrigation subsidies even in regions where here are no power features. Coherent body of laws: settle ment of the fundamental question of "who pays for what" is needed. Present laws are deficient "in large areas," he said. Better organization: existing ag encies should be more closely knit. Stoll said. He said both the Hoover report and th CVA proposal made this a primary point. Eugene Man Among North Sea 'Dead DEREHAM, England, UP) The U. S. Air Force has abandoned its search for four airmen still missing after the crash of a B-29 bomber into the North sea.

Thousands Flock To Set Bushman, Famed Gorilla CHICAGO. UP) A crowd of about 120,000 persons broke a 1 1 attendance records at the Lincoln Park zoo Sunday to see Bushman, the famous but ailing gorilla. The 500 pound Bushman, usually a pleasing performer, was too sick to pay much attention to the audi ence which filed past his cage. out Ur. Lester r isner, zoo vet erinarian, says he is more encour aged by Bushman s condition he breathes better and seems more comfortable. He became acutely ill Thursday, apparently from old age (he's 22), arthrits. and a heart condition. Zoo officials want watermelons and guavas for their enfeebled giant.
