P. Roble said Thursday. "The figure will increase a bit when all returns on December fires are In," he added. Off to a bad start with Janu ary's losses exceeding $50,000, the f ear wound up with a total loss list about the same as for 1948 and 1949, said Roble. -The fire that leveled Chuck's Eteakhous on Portland road last January accounted for most of that month's total" he said. "Ex cept for the spectacular hospital (ire at Fairview Home, It was the worst we were out on all year." Institutional Fires That fire and other institutional fires are not Included in the above figures. The state has a restora tion fund instead of Insurance on its property. Salem had eight malicious false alarms and three arson cases dur ing the year. Mi It also had SI "unnecessary" alarms. "Smoke in the house and other well-meaning false alarms," Roble called them. All of the arson cases were cleared by arrests. They were the Fairview Bom hospital fire, at Paulus Brothers cannery and a m tv T1 1 4 Aural m m aV 128 Unreported Fires -t wiu prooaoiy surprise most people to learn there were 123 fires, in Salem we weren't called on to put out," said Roble. "We hear about them after they file insurance claims. One of them was i $809 loss. Another, a house fire, was $56 V Defective chimneys caused 162 of the 569 fires to which Salem firemen were summoned last year. Careless smoking caused 62. Others ran the- gamut from auto brakes to Xmas tree lights. Twice as many happened during the daytime as at night. ' "And be sure to mention that little boys playing with matches caused another 20," said Roble. Moose to Open Lodge Buildin In Corvallis- or ' H. E.

British Ship Will Explore Sea Mysteries By Fred Smith LONDON (INS) Two myster ies of the deep win be probed when the British research ship William Scoresby leaves London soon on a ten month tour of the oceans. Most important mystery scien tists aboard the ship hope to solve is the breeding and migratory habits of whales, especially those of the humpback variety. Off the northwest coast of Aus tralia thousands of whales will be marked by the scientists. This win be done during July and August when the whales are migrating to wards the equator. It Is hoped that data obtained from markings will enable scien tists to fix quotas to be killed in annual whale hunts. This will pre vent extinction of the humpback species. Second mystery to be solved by research workers is the movement of freak cold currents off the coast of Southwest Africa where cold water from the depths rises up to th ocean surface. In earlier yean the William Scoresby had surveyed a similar region off th west coast of South America where a spring of deep water brings certain nutrient salts to the surface and causes rich de velopment of marine life. It is thought possible that a similar ef fect is produced off the African coast. In addition to whales and oc ean current probes, scientists also will undertake various types of oceanographies! research in shal low and deep waters. Observations win be made of the water masses and currents of th Indian Ocean about which little is known. New methods of catching fish in deep waters will be tested and it is hoped that unknown species will be found.
