Cloverdale Couple
In Glendale Visit
Mr. and Mrs. LeP.oy Moschkau
of Cloverdale, Calif., arrived in
C.Iendale Tuesdav morning. Mr.
Moschkau went on to Fort Lewis
for two weeks of reserve camp,
nd his wife staved in Glendale to
visit with his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. August Moschkau and with
other friends in the area, according

Back From Wisconsin
Mr. and Mrs. Emil Cimfl of
Glendale relumed a few days ago
from visiting in Wisconsin with a
number of relatives. They left Glen
dale in June.
Elder Ralph Snccd ef Riddle,
paslor ol the Seventh-day Adven
list Churches in Glendale, Canyon
ville, and Myrtle Creek for the
past two years, has resigned his
position and will be leaving shortly
for a new pastoral responsibility
in Springfield. The three churches
will hold a farewell party and pro
gram in Sneed's honor at the Can
yonville Advcntist Church Saturday
night, at 7:30 p.m.
Mr. and Mrs. Ted Brown of Ash
land, former Glendale residents,
are the parents of a baby boy,
Jeffrey Craig, born the last day
of August.
Mrs. Ed Harris, her dauchler,
Mrs. Marilyn Dicken, and Shellie
Dickon, her daughter, returned
early this week from Cloverdale
and San f rancisco where they had
apent a week visiting. They spent
several days in Cloverdale, where
Mr. Harris is working, then went
to San Francisco where they took

Scientists Set Nitrogen Study
Oregon State College soils sci
entists hope to throw more light on
the complex behavior of nitrogen in
the many soil types of the Pacific
Northwest and eventually get even
more efficiency from nitrogen than
is now possible on some soils.
It is estimated that proper appli
cation of nitrogen will return about
S3 for each $1 spent on fertilizer
through more efficient crop produc
tion. However, the efficiency of ni
trogen uptaxe oy plants varies
greatly depending upon soil type.
An important key to more effici
ency on some soils is better un
derstanding of so-called ammonium
and ammonia nitrogen fixation in
soils. This type of fixation is cur
rently under study by J. Lowell
Young. Agricultural Research Scrv
ice chemist and professor in the
05C sous department.
Study Under Way
Young is heading an Intensive
laboratory study ot 17 representa
tive soils in Oregon and Washing
ton with emphasis on the nitrogen
fixing abilities of both clay min
erals and soil organic matter.
The research project, now in Its
third year, is being aided by $2500
yearly grams irom rniiups reiroi
eum Co. M. E. Harward, OSC soils
scientist, is assisting with the study
of clay minerals.
It has long been thought that
nearly 100 per cent of the soil ni
trogen is held in combination with
organic materials, Young stated.
However, present studies indicate
that some soil strata may hold a
large per cent of their nitrogen in
mineral form as fixed ammonium.
Also, many soil strata appear able
to fix large additional quantities of
nitrogen.
Whether fixation is good or bad
from a practical standpoint depends
upon many circumstances requiring
further study, the scientists ex
plained. Fixation is "good" from
the long-term view of providing a
storehouse of soil nutrients for fu
ture use. It might appear less de
sirable in considering- returns for
only the first year following fer
tilizer application, Young added.
Ability Varies
Ability of soil to fix ammonia ni
trogen not only varies greatly
among soil types but also between
soil strata within a given type, ac
cording to OSC findings.
Fixing ability of minerals In sur
face soils may vary from an in
significant amount up to 400 to 500
pounds of nitrogen per acre. Vari
ations are also great in some clay
subsoils where more mineral fix
ation is generally found. The
amount of fixation by the sou or
ganic fraction is also being studied
Long-range aims of the OSC re
searchers are to relate nitrogen
fixation capacities of soils to spe
cific clay minerals and types of
soil organic matter. Jtesults from
this and related basic research on
sou nitrogen problems could serve
as a guide in predicting nigrogen
behavior in similar soils through
out the world.

Sears Says Most Employes,
Fired In Strike, Rehired
CHICAGO (AP) Scars Roe
buck and Company said Monday
ell employes discharged during a
labor dispute in San Francisco
have been called back to work,
except six dismissed for cause.
Of these six, the company said,
the dismissal was not contested
by unions in the cases of two.
The other four cases are in arbi
tration. A spokesman for the San Fran
cisco Labor Council said Satur
day many of those returning were
downgraded and rehired at lower
pay.
Sears said all eventually will
get their old jobs back and status
aclt if they want them. The corn
any said a few of those called
lack resigned their Scars iob. an-
parenlly because tliey had found
other employment.
Scars discharged 202 clerks and
other union employes for refusing
to cross picket lines of the Inter
national Association of Machinists
who struck against Scars May 9.
On Friday the union announced
the signing of a two-year contract.
In mid-August 40 labor councils
around the country endorsed a
boycott of Scars' stores and cata
logue houses because of the dis
charges. Last week Scars rcnorted its
September sales of $364,548,931
were the hlghe.it ever reported for
the month. Its sales for the first
eight months of its fiscal year,
February through September, al
so were a record $2.76 billion.
The San Francisco Labor Coun
cil said- the boycott will continue
until all employes discharged are
restored to their former positions
and former pay.
George W. Johns, secretary of
the San Francisco Labor Coun
cil, said there Monday that by the
union's count nearly 30 employes
have not been called back to
work.
Of those called back, he said,
many have been transferred, de
moted, had their pay cut, had
their seniority rights ignored, and
have been denied other rights un
der their union contract.
Johns said contract violations
charged against Sears by tho Re-

USS Atomic Ship Savannah Nears Completion In Yard
CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) A $42.5-
million experiment in ocean-going
nuclear propulsion is slowly Hear
ing completion in a shipyard here.
Workers at the New York Ship
building Corp. are getting out the
N. S. Savannah. It will be the
first nonmilitary ship to have an
atomic engine. The keel was put
down May 22, 1958, and the bull
was laucncd July 21, 1959.
Taxpayers are footing the design
and construction cost, and proba
bly the ship never will repay that
cost in dollars. But some observ
ers feel the United States will be
amply repaid in restige and the
good will it should produce.
After it is commissioned, early
next year, the Savannah will make
a world cruise. The cruise will
demonstrate how the atom can be
used peacefully. It also will pro
vide valuable knowledge needed
for construction of further nuclear
powered ships.
Hatfield Stays Close
To Home This Week
SALEM (AP)-Gov. Mark Hat
field will stay close to home this
week.
Outside of a couple of visits to
Portland, he will remain here un
til Saturday.
He said he might make another
campaign jaunt Saturday. The
governor had to cancel his visit
last Friday to Oregon coast points,
but he said today he hopes he can
work it into his schedule in the
next couple of weeks.
EXOTIC DESSERT'
Make rich vanilla ice cream an
exotic dessert by ladling chopped
preserved ginger with its syrup
and slivered almonds over each
serving.
The Savannah is named for the
first steamship to cross the At
lantic. The new Savannah is 595 feet
long and will be powered by a
nuclear reactor using U235 as fuel.
The reactor, built by Babcock and
Wilcox, has been installed. The
reactor will be used to heat water
and steam to 520 degrees Fahren
heit. This will drive turbines cap
able of producing 22,000 horsepower.
Waste from the reactors will be
brought back to shore and buried.
International law does not now
permit their random disposal at
sea.
If the ship ever should sink, an
unlikely occurrence, special doors
will seal off the reactor to keep
it from contaminating the ocean.
When the idea of using atomic
power in a ship of peaceful intent
first gained acceptance, some gov
ernment officials favored putting
a Nautilus-type submarine reactor
in a conventional surface ship and
claiming a quick atomic first. ,
However, Congress decided to
spend $42.5 million and have the
vessel designed from the keel up.
Final plans were approved by
President Eisenhower on Oct. 15,
1956.
Master of the Savannah will be

Hondo
we tell the world about Oregon?
(and why should we?)
',,f . fv ;i',,!l5Si2i
I' ' ' '
"How is Oregon to live in?" "Isn't it cold and rainy
all the time?" "Is there anything to do except hunt
and fish?" "Aren't you sort of isolated up there?"
Every day, questions like these are tossed at the
. State of Oregon's Department of Planning and Devel
opment. Mostly, they come from tourists and potential
residents. But an alarming number of them come from
Eastern industrialists looking for new plant sites. And
business executives looking for new branch offices.
. (Even more significant are the questions wo don't
hear. What do you suppose the rest of the pcopij
think about our fair state?)
How do we tell them the true story? How do you
tell a New Yorker about our hcalfui, zcstful climate
a man who's known only freezing winters and sticky
summers? How do you tell a Bostonian about West
ern hospitality and allftar recreational "elbow-room"?
How do you convince a Detroit industrialist-in one
breath that Oregon has unlimited power, skilled
labor, vast and varied raw materials, a top-flight
educational system, and" modern transportation and
communications ideally suited for commerce and
industry?
And why should we? Why should wc care if in the
next decade Oregon doesn't stand out as a first-class
state? The answer is basic dollars and sense. We need
new industry. We need tourists. We're bursting with
potential. Every increase in our present economy
every new industry-every incoming family-means
more payroll, more job security, and a steadily in-'
creasing standard of living for all of us.
What can you do? Plenty! Turn State's witness. Bo
a one-man Chamber of Commerce. Make yourself
insufferable with your Eastern friends. Be a "Texan."
(You've certainly got more to shout about.) Tell the
next Californian you see about our lakes and seashores
and art galleries and towering forests and the buoyant,
clear air. Stop Chicagoans on the street and point out
Mt. Hood. States don't "just grow." It takes doing.
Every one of us is responsible for the economic growth
of Oregon.
What's in it for Pacific Telephone Northwest?
We're part of the team of private industry that believes
in the growth of Oregon. Ycar-in and year-out -like
Old Man River in reverse -we pour 22 million new
construction dollars into Oregon. We're second only
to Georgia-Pacific in the total employees. We're first
in total capital investment-over 260 million dollars!
Our future is invested in Oregon, too. With yo help,
we can see the day when the rest of the world will be
telling each other about Oregon. Let's help them!
Let's tell the world about Oregon!
