through the employment service,
before finally getting mill, then
woods, work. Of haying, the Hol
lander said "I never want to do
that again."
Never Heard Of Hans Brinktr
In passing, Lcffelaar pooh-poohed
a couple of well-known Amer
ican stories: About the boy who
saved Holland by holding his fin
ger in a hole in a dike, and about
Hans Brinker and the silver skat
es. He said he is going to have
to dig them up and read them
"because I never ncard oi mem
before" coming to the U.S.
He also wryly pointed out that
all people in his country do not
wear wooden shoes and that only
a few wear the colorful national
costume.
The young man said he has
been very much impressed by the
friendliness of people in tms coun
try. He said he has felt like he
"belongs" to each community he
has visited. And, the people of the
West, he said are more like Eu
ropeans than those in life South.
He did not deny the existence of
"southern hospitality, but be said
people in the West basically seem
more friendly.
Contribution To Peaca
He welcomes the opportunity to
see Americans "showing yourselv
es as you really are and not as
you may pretend to be," and be
lieves it is an invaluable contri
bution toward world peace and
understanding.
The speaker was introduced by
Percy Croft. President Harold
Hoyt presided. During the pro
gram in the Hotel Umpqua, the
oldest past president of the local
club, Jack Harding, presented a
pin to the immediate past presi
dent, Roland West. There will be
no regular Thursday noon meet
ing next week because of the
club's annual picnic. Members and
guests are to gather at 6:30 that
evening at Umpqua Park.

does not feel it proper to invest
money in improvements on land
held under shorl leases.
Donations In Offing
Collins reports several dona
tions of park land are in prospect
Other sites have been offered at
a price considerably below com
mercial values, but current funds
are insufficient to purchase these
properties.
Rep. John P. Amacher, chair
man of the parks department, re
ports that the department return
ed to the county general fund a
surplus of $.5,000. The money, he
said, was not enoujh to buy some
of the sites desired in the pro
gram and retrained from last
year's operation.
The new policy, the court n
nounced, will be more flexible.
The department is authorized to
negotiate for park sites and the
court will make determination on
price and will either accent or re
iect sites. Purchased land will be
held (or later development.
This policy. Judge Hill reports
will free the department from a
fixed aequ'sition budget. The court
indicated it would make funds

on each proposed acquisition.
Funds from timber sales and

marked for the parks program and
used only as suitable propert'es
are made available, Judge Hill
states.

controversy. Congress put adminis
tration of Lhe,disputed 42,000 acre.s
in the Forest Service but provided
that the counties still would receive
5 per cent of the sale receipts
from the timber.
Congrats Action Stands
The court said:
"In ultimate analysis the county
complains of a threat of damage
which it fears, rather than an ac
tual injury. But in any event the
public domain in Oregon passed
to the United States when Oregon
was admitted. Such a provision
was implicit in the act ot admis
sion. ". . . No taking is involved in the
1954 act And of course the courts
cannot interfere with the adminis
tration of public property as ar
ranged by the Congress and the
executive, so long as constitutional
boundaries are not transgressed by
either branch or statutory ones by
the latter."

A settlement of $0,000 has been
made to E. F. and Ruby A. Black

information on the earth's upper
atmosphere is expected.
Circles In 90 Minutes
The satellites would circle the
earth once every 90 minutes, so
that even if they remained up on
ly a day or two there would be
opportunity for study.
Scientists of all nations are to
be informed of the orbits the sat
ellites will travel and the fre
quencies on which they will broad
cast, it it is possible to equip them
with radio.
The whole project is designed as !
part of this country s participa
tion in the International Geophysi
cal Year, from July 1957 to De
cember, 1958.
The period has been set aside
by some 40 nations, Russia includ
ed, for research and worldw'de
observations in the field of the
earth sciences.
The satellite program, on the
basis, of present, rough plans, is
expected to cost some 10 million
dollars.
Benefits Forasaan
What will this rather fantastic
development mean in the way of
benefits for mankind?
Various scientists at the confer
ence, representing the National
Academv of Sciences and the Na
tional Science Foundation, said
that there are possibilities in sev
eral directions.
For one thing, more Informa
tion may bo obtained about the
ionosphere, which is important in
radio communications.
Information may be obtained
which may improve weather fore
casting. A better Idea may result of the
effects of the light and ultra violet
radiation from the sun.
More information may be ob
tained on cosmis rays and meteorites.

Farm Fish Pond
Labeled Success
Thursday's farm fish pond field
day was pronounced a success by
Wayne D. Mosher, assistant coun.
ty extension agent.
Mosher said more than 30 per
sons visited the two ponds slated
for inspection. Early risers vxwed
the pond on the Harold Boucock
farm in Scotts Valley at 10 a.m.
I Later they were joined by other
interested residents at the Harv
ey Schultz farm' on Boomer Hill
Road, Myrtle Creek
Featured speakers were William
Pitney and James Vaughn of the
Oregon .Mate Game commission.
Both ponds were seined, Mosher
said and fish were found each
time. He said viewers learned that
the 3 to 5-inch rainbow trout plant
ed in March in the Boucock pond
haun t grown as much as ex-peetcd.
The rainbow and brook trout
planted at the Schultz pond
February when they were one-inch
long now measure as much as 8
inches in some instances. Mosner
said the difference can be due to
feed supply and more favorable
water temperatures.
