Increased Activity Expected Here On Bad Check Artists Roseburg merchants were warn ed today they can expect increas ed activity this year on the part of bad check artists. "We have every reason to be lieve that during 1962 or even larger number of worthleis checks will be passed due to increased travel by persons coming into and leaving the state," a police offi cial said. Worlds Fair visitors will move additional summer traffic through this area, it was pointed out. Police are appealing for mer chant cooperation to keep the worthless check problem under control. Businessmen were urged to heed these eight suggestions: 1. Never accept a postdated check. It is considered the same as a promissory note. 2. Never accept a check even though the person promises there will be money in the bank to cover same. 3. Never accept a check that has not been completely and satis factorily made out. 4. Insist that all personal checks be written out in your presence. If not written in your presence, check the signature against that of the driver's license or some other identification. 6. A driver's license is reason ably good identification, but we urge merchants to obtain the driv er's license number and, of course, the name and address, and above all, check the physical description on the driver's license against that of the person presenting the check. 7. If at all possible, attempt to view the vehicle being operated by the passer, getting license num ber and description. 8. Observe the person well, in order to obtain a physical descrip tion. Particularly notice outstand ing features such as scars, marks, glasses, etc. "Report all worthless check cas I.

Modern integrated forest prod uct manufacturers are making studs (eight-foot 2x4's) out of ply wood cores, the center of the log. The cores were formerly peeled into veneer on small core lathes in plywood plants, and the recov ered veneer was used for core stock in the manufacture of ply wood panels, the company an nounces. I P's Long-Bell dimension mills are sawing cores varying from nine inches through 13 inches in diameter. Six studs can be pro duced from a. nine-inch core. Adapt New Resaws Vauguu and Gardiner have adapted resaws to cut peeler cores. This new process has improved production at Vaughn. Although the sawmill had handled some of the cores before the change-over to the resaw, there was production Reedsport Firm Gets Columbia Job Apparent low bidder for con struction of bank protection work in the Midland Drainage District in Columbia County is Umpqua River Navigation with a bid of $60,598.

The modified resaw cuts the peeler cores faster with easier handling, besides processing the regular lumber production. Gardiner cuts cores on a special shift. A small stud mill in the area formerly consumed the Gar diner plywood cores. Long - Bell studs produced from cores are sur faced four sides, precision trim med, end sealed and trade marked, and unitized for rail shipment. Chelatchie chipped plywood peel er cores before switching to make studs of them. The cores enter the sawmill on a newly installed side delivery lift, and are sawn on the gang. Chelatchie and Vaughn complete this I-P wood utilization story by chipping edgings from stud pro duction into chips for paper making.

CHRIS' STUDIO 427 S. E. Main Ph. OR 2-3212 ROSEBURCS COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER Chermes from a long period of evolution. One method of control of preda tory Chermes currently being tried, is to introduce a small bee tle (Laricobius Erichsonii) from Europe which feeds on the Cher mcs aphid. There is no common name for this beetle. This program has been going on UL lnree yBa" wlul moaeral ?UCuC8s atJtol.nedLin he Willamette valley and in the Mt St. Helens area- This European beetle, the size of the head of a common mn. multiplies fast and eats quite 1 considerable number of aphids but wl niiicau ui mo umus lias uiuy been about one-half mUe from the l U" i iiuorumu au uii in slow prbcess. Shipped From Gtrminy The predatory beetles released In the Little River District were shipped by plane from Germany packed in excelsior. The children of Germany picked these tiny in sects from trees for shipment. Mitchell and Crates liberated about 600 beetles on one tree in the Twin Lakes Mountain area. Mitchell explained that the one tree was used to keep the preda tory beetles together until they were established. He will be back in about three weeks to check the beetles to see if they are doing all right, and later this summer he will try to catch some progeny of the beetles to liberate in new areas. This is the first time this experiment has been tried in the Umpqua National Forest. The Little River District is con ducting a stepped-up program of salvaging the silver and alpine fir that has been killed or is infected by Chermes.
