Edelweiss Picked As Name For Winter Sports Club
Edelweiss is a flower, and it is I
also the name of the newly created!
winter sports club in the Roseburg
area.
After three weeks of trying, the
club finally decided on a name and
a few breaths later voted the incor
poration of the club under the name
of Edelweiss. The name was
drawn from the Alpine flower pro
nounced Aydl-vue which grows
only on the highest mountain lev
els. To distinguish the area, lljiip
qua Basin will probably be em
blazoned across the symbol. Thus,
it will be the Edelweiss S KI Club.
; The third club meeting was high
lighted by the presence of George
Korn, owner-operator of the Wil

Roseburg club as one of the grow-
Inventor Plans
'Moon1 To Meet
Iron Curtain Ban
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (fl There
will be no Iron Curtain anywhere
if the vision of the maker of the
terrible V-2, German guided rocket
that bombarded England from Hol
land comes true.
The vision is a military space
station, a tiny, man. made moon,
1,075 miles up, which each day
will see every square mile of the
earth's inhabited surface, and the
people moving around as clearly
as from an airplane at 5,000 feet.
The dreamer is Professor Worn
her Von Braun, the youthful Ger
man genius who made the seem
ingly impossible V-2, and who now
at 39 feels that the military satellite
is possible. He lives here and is
taking American citizenship pa
pers. The military satellite will circle
the earth once every two hours.
It will circle from north to south,
at nearly right angles to the earth's
rotation. It's orbit is fixed, with the
earth rotating eastward below.
Thus if it comes down over New
York City at 10:00 a.m., it will
be on its next circuit down from
the north somewhere over Denver
and the Ves.t Coast.
Two Views of Everything
In 24 hours it will see every
thing on the earth by daylight. And
also it will come up each trip on
the opposite side for a night view
by radar. This will give it two
looks a day at everything.
The satellite will cany a tele
scope, through which you can sec
a strip of earth more than a
thousand miles wide as clearly as
if you were only 5.000 feet away.
Looking down you can see far
better than looking up, from
earth's surface. If you want-to see
why, try looking through thin tissue
paper at a printed page a foot
behind the paper. You see nn let
ters. But lay the tissue ox the page
and vou can read it. For the watch
er on the satellite our air is the
tissue paper, and it is in contact
with the earth.
ing organizations of Oregon and
advised the 1 club to obtain a ski
area as soon as possible. He re
ported that the Willamette area
had been formed as a result of the
opening of a third cross-state high
way. Me slated mat the Koseburg
area would probably soon have ac
cess to such a highway, but be
cause of high interest, an area
close to Roseburg should be se
cured immediately.
Called Group Active
He called the Roseburg group
one of the most active new groups
in the state beceuse of its apparent
interest in the sport. He said Rose
burg skiers have put Willamette
Pass on the map because of their
fine turnouts in the Eugene area.
He also advised the group to join
the Pacific Northwest Ski Associa
tion as soon as possible to take ad
vantage of the information the re
gional club can offer. He stated,
the PNSA released information and
aid in clearing data in Northwest
ski circles and formation of new
clubs.
He warned the club should be j
named in order to cover both win
ter and summer sports. He includ
ed water skiing and mountain
climbing as die two major sum
mer sports to be considered in
order to eliminato the necessity of
additional clubs.
The club postponed further in-
vestigation of the Taft Mountain
and Red Butte area until 'he roads
could be opened after recent snows.
When the areas become again ac
! cessible, a preliminary investiga
i ting group will be followed by a
wholesale investigation of the area
by the entire club.
Other business was the voting of
the heads of the standing commit
tees to the executive board. They
will join the currently reigning of
ficers on the committee.

Ban On Mexican
Cattle To End
WASHINGTON 11 The United
States announced Wednesday it
plans to lift a ban against cattler
sheep, swine and other ruminant
and livestock products from Mexico
by Sept. 1.
The embargo was put into li
fect in December, 1946, when an
epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease
broke out there.
Plans for removing it were dis
closed in a joint statement issued
by Secretary of Agriculture Bran,
nan and President Miguel Aleman
of Mexico.
The embargo will be lifted pror
viding there is no new outbreak of
the dread animal disease in the
meantime. 4
This announcement came only
about two weeks after the United
States had closed the Canadian bor
der to livestock and livestock prodr
ucts because of outbreak of the
disease near Regina, Saskatche
wan. The disease also exists in much
of Europe, Asia and in parts of
South America.
A murrelet, ancient species of
small water bird that lives in the
far north, was rccentfy found near
Bend. Ore. H was the first of the
species ever to be reported alive
in Oregon.
