16 The News-Review, Roscburg, Ore. Thun., Jon. 19,1961 1 ' f Trees Form A Background For Most Landscape Ideas I J - i Trees form the backbone of most landscape scenes. And the best ways to use trees in home, city, and community landscape projects will be explained at a special Land scape Design study course at Ore gon State College Jan. 12 to 14. Trees can be used to indicate the walls and ceilings of outdoor spaces where people carry on ineir outdoor-living activities, explains Donald J. Slartel, head of the OSC department of landscape architec ture and coordinator of the course.

OSC's Average Male 1950 Grad Earns Yearly Income Of $8,100 An $8,100 salary is earned by the 1950 male graduate of Oregon Stale College, according to a sur vey of the class by the alumni of fice. The $8,100 figure is the median, or middle salary, of nearly one half of the male class members in seven fields of study who replied to the survey. Median salary was determined by taking the mid-point earner. Half the members of the class earn less than $8,100 and half more. Taking the average of all gradu ates, the salary comes out to $9, 298. The 10-year graduates in engin eering and pharmacy both cumo out with a median salary of 000. Figured on the average, tlio engineering graduate earns $9,940 a year and the pharmacist $13,333. A substantial number of pharma cists reported they own their own drutf store and figure in the $20,000 bracket. In engineering, the two highest salaries were $40,000 and $75,000. Of all the 1950 male members re porting, the highest earning of $90,- 000 was in agriculture. 1 However, the average salary for the agriculture graduate was 58, 277, but $7,556 when the $90,000 graduate was not included. Median for agriculture was $7,200. Education had the lowest median with $7,000 and an average of $7, 120, even though a number of sal aries were reported at $12,000 and above. For the business and technology graduate, the median salary was $8,500 and the average $9,975. In forestry, median $7,500 and aver age $8,762. Science, median $8,800 and average $9,632. Some of the occupations listed by the 1950 male graduates were physicist, geologist, metallurgical technician, college professor, high school principal, sales representa tive, purchasing agent, traffic en gineer, consulting engineer, minis ter, public accountant, school teach er, dentist, physician, restaurant owner, insurance agent, wildlife biologist, food and dairy technolo gist, farmer, forest products re searcher, and science and techni cal writer. 1961 Meat Price Levels Seen Near Previous Year's Oregon livestock and retail meat prices for 1961 are likely to aver age close to 1960 levels, reports an Oregon Stale college agricul ture economist. Local cattle prices are expected (o slip a Mile from last years average, hog prices should aver age siignuy niK'ier, anu jhiiiu ji likely to hold near me jaw aver age, believes Stephen C. .Marks, OSC extension economist. Food buyers can look to a good supply of all red meat 165 pounds per capita, only two pounds below the 1956 record with little price change. Increasing national beef produc tion is pulling pressure on cattlo prices but any decline will prob ably be too slight to be felt at retail meat counters, at least dur ing the first half of 1961, Marks said. Oregon hog prices which follow midwest trends should average slightly higher in the year ahead Church Of God Slates Speaker fluencing their use, he added. Ways to use trees will be ex plained in detail at the special study course, beinj sponsored by (he Oregon Federation of Garden Clubs, in cooperation with the OSC cooperative extension service and department of landscape architec ture. Persons attending the course will also learn how to prepare planting plans, clear and grade landscape sites, and use paved ar eas, buildings, and water in land scape designs. Open To All The course is open to all inter ested persons, regardless of past training or experience in gardening or landscaping, .Martel empha sized. It is aimed primarily at gar den club members, nurserymen. city planners, members of park Doarus, lanuscape arcnuecis, and others who plan or design public or private landscapes, but any per son who attends should be able to pick up a wealth of ideas on ways to improve landscaping of their own home or community. Fee lor the course will be JlO. Enrollment forms and more infor mation about the course can be obtained from county extension of fices, garden club chairmen, or the OSC cooperative extension service, Corvallis. FT r f because of a reduction in hog marketings compared to 1960. Present strong prices are expected to hit a peak by early summer and decline for the second half of the year. Most noticeable declines in both beef and pork prices will likely come next fall with increased sea sonal marketing of grass-fat cat- tie ana nogs. The generally well-balanced further smoothed out when hog farmers recently reported inten tions to Increase the size of their spring pig crop by no more than five per cent over last spring. Total beef marketings in 1961 are expected to be up about seven per cent from 1960. Lamb prices will probably hold near the 1960 average with dom estic production little changed from last year. Large imports of lamb and mutton will likely continue but are expected to bo less than in 1960, the economist said. PAUL VORONAEFF . . , Monday speaker Paul Voronaeff. who spent 13 years behind Russia's Iron Cur tain, will appear at the Assembly of CJod uiurcn, 518 ink msn si Roscburg, Monday night as a guest of Freedom Crusade. He gained national atterition in the Fall of 1959 when he crashed a reception at the Soviet Embassy in Washington and approached Premier Nikita Khrushchev witn a petition in behalf of his mother. With the help of President Eisen hower, Vice-President Nixon and the State Department, he was able to get his mother out of Soviet Hussia. Voronaeff was born in Russia and came to America at an early age. Some years later his family returned to Eastern Europe and Soviet Russia. His parents were arrested because of their religious work. They were sentenced by the Societ Secret Police to imprison ment and exiled in Siberia. While in Russia, Voronaeff was a student at the University of Mos cow. Arrested by Soviet Secret Po lice, he served a term as a "slave laborer" in Siberia. After his flight from Russia, ho dedicated his life to exDosina the evils of Commun ism and its threat to Christianity and religious freedom and to tell ing the American people what he knows first hand about life behind the Iron Curtain. Ho is the author of a number of books and many magazine and newspaper articles on Soviet Russia and life in that country. Tachistoscope Is Valuable Aid In Training Of Police Officers By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS With the help of an instrument called a tachistoscope, policemen now can learn in hours, instead of years, to recognize and retain in a glimpse oi a second or less the numbers on automobile li cense plates. The training is invaluable, the Pacific University Alumnews said in reporting on a pilot program! set up at Corvallis. ! The program there worked out so well, the publication said, that after only a few hours of training, a rookie policeman got a brief! glance at a car license, recognized) it as mai oi a Muiea vumtic aim recovered the auto. Alumnews said Corvallis Police Chief Cecil Fruilt helped launch Oakland Church Has Annual Meet rpu BnnnJ i.tlnrlr rlinnpi flflri annua, p..v.. - -- congreggational meeting of Oak lanrt Community Presbyterian Church was held recently with about 40 people attending, reports Edith Dunn, correspondent.

It's the bottom section of a nuclear reactor vessel under construc tion in Milwaukee, Wis. the program after being told by his optometrist, Dr. Robert Hoi bomb, that "anyone can be taught to see better." j "Fruitt knew from experience that only after hard work and years of practice could an officer learn to spot license numbers readily with only a brief visual exposure," the Alumnews said. Fruit and Holcomb, in conjunc tion with the College of Optometry at Pacific, began the program with 24 policemen from Corvallis, Pholomalh, Oregon State College and the Benton County sheriff's office. "This course consists of a one hour per day training session for five days," Alumnews said. 'Pri mary leaching device used Was a tachistoscope .... a device for developing visual recognition speed. Digits, figures, color and visual stimuli are exposed to view for brief measure intervals. "The exposure is usually from l-100th second to one second, de pending on the material and the skill of the trainee. The average person can be trained to see through tlie use of the tachisto scope at a speed that an untrained person does not achieve. "Without training, it would take the average individual 70 seconds or longer to perceive and memo rize a la-digit number. With the aid of tachistoscopic training, he can reproduce these 15 digils after an exposure of about 2 seconds." The policemen each day took a look at 55 exposures of numhei combinations. They were checked each day. At the end of the short training period, Alumnews said, some policemen were able to rec ognize and remember a series of six numbers (ihe same as on Ore gon license plates) after looking at them only one-25th of a second. Fruitt was so encouraged with the results, Alumnews said, that he "is expanding the program to include automobile silhouettes and facial and physical characteris tics of people."

The five-day policy is the prevailing practice of banks in the Western states as well as nationally. Additional hours of banking service on Fridays or other week days will be provided by many Oregon banks. Perhaps the main consideration in establishing a regular five-day week was the wishes of bank employees. Under present conditions many families with both husband and wife employed find it impossible to spend their weekends together. Also, a system of staggered days off during the .week has made it difficult to maintain the continuity of service you should expect. Other conveniences such as bank-by-mail, 24-hour depositories and speedy bank-from-your-car facilities also enable five-day banking to suit your needs. Your bank will appreciate having you discuss with-4hem-aay special problems resulting from Saturday closing. INDEPENDENT BANKERS ASSOCIATION OF OREGON OREGON BANKERS ASSOCIATION
