0SC Eyes Use
Of Television
For Education
By LILLIE L. MAD SEX
Farm Editor, The Statesman
No other invention" in the history
of inventions is apt to affect the
U. S. more than television. Dr.
A. L. Strand, president of Oregon
State College, writes in the latest
issue of the OSC Alumnus maga
zine.
Because of this, the president
continues, it is imperative that
educators and others do some very
careful planning to see that this
new medium of information is
used to greatest advantage.
"It seems almost unthinkable,"
President Strand continues, that
"scientific and technical institu
tions like OSC which are charged
with statewide educational respon
sibilities, will not use television."
In Oregon, three of the best
"very high frequency" channels
have been reserved for education,
the writer continues. These in
elude channel 7 in Corvallis; chan
nel 8, Eugene; and channel 10,
Portland. In addition, "Ultra high
frequency" channel 18 has been
set aside for Salem.
The decision whether to use
these channels must come from
the state educational agencies for
the most part before June 1, 1953,
Strand goes on. On that date, if
the allocations are not taken up
many of them will be lost.
It would cost around a half
million, dollars to get a station on
the air and perhaps $150,000 a
year to maintain it, depending on
operating policies, Strand points
out. Equipment would likely be
come obsolete rather rapidly as
new technical advances such as
the change to color are made, he
adds.
Education cannot depend on
commercial studio time, however,
President Strand says, because it
would be forced into undesirable
hours in favor of advertised-spon-sored
shows.
The mountains and widely-separate
population presents Oregon
with a difficult transmitting prob
lem, but micro-waves might be
used to extend TV into Eastern
Oregon areas, the college president
wrote.
Old East School's
First Graduates
Meet for Reunion
The first graduating class of
Salem's old East School held its
annual reunion Sunday at Cham
poeg State Park, with remi
niscences the order of the day.
Five of the 19 living graduates
of the 58-member class of 1888
were present. They were Mrs.
Cora Litchfield Holman, Mrs.
Maude Rundlett Johnson, Milton
L. Meyers, all of Salem; Bert
Brown Barker, Portland, and Os
sian Shirley, Ridgefield, Wash.
The East School was located in
the block at Center and 12th
Streets now occupied by a Safe
way store.
Steel Treads
Damage County
Paved Roads
A cost of $25,000 to $40,000 an
nually to the County has been in
curred in road damage from trac
tors with steel treads, Commis
sioner E. L. Rogers estimated
Monday.
The estimate came after a re
pot from the engineer's office
that such tractors had been break
ing up the pavement on county
road 617 and Market Road 52, east
of the Totem Pole junction on
Highway 99E. Rogers said that he
was considering introducing a bill
in the next legislature that would
prohibit the operation of any ve
hicle over paved road unless its
wheels are equipped with rubber.
He pointed out that a statute on
the books regulating tractor travel
over the highways has been dif
ficult to enforce.

Bad Teeth Record of Salem
Area Spurs Public Interest
In Use of Artificial Fluorides
(Editor's note: This is third In a four-part Statesman series on the grow
ing trend toward fluoridation of public water supplies, the dental benefits
cuimea ior it ana me posiuon or dentists, public health groups and the
public.)
By JAMES B. MILLER
Staff Writer, The Statesman
To better emphasize the need
Salem area proponents of fluoridation showed in a recent study that
"almost half the teeth in a child's mouth are bad."
This conclusion was drawn after a study of some 593 school chil
dren of the ages 14, 15 and 16
Counties. Within this group, the
Liberalization
Of Cosmetics
Laws Sought
Appointment of a committer to
study liberalization of the Oregon
cosmetic therapy law was made
in closing hours Monday of the
Oregon Beauticians Association
convention?.
The 60 delegates voted to pres
ent to the next state legislature
suggestions for laws to liberalize
qualifications for hair styling stu
dents with more stress on actual
training.
Marjorie Hart of Corvallis was
reelected president. Other officers
voted Monday include Jack Parks,
Eugene, first vice-president; Ste
cen Peters, Klamath Falls, second
vice-president; Wilma Lee Phag
ens, Salem, reelected secretary,
and Vivian Enyeart, Salem, treas
urer.
Ten delegates to the organiza
tion's national convention Oct. 19-
21 at Milwaukee, Wise, were;
named, including Christine Lar-J
sen Sloper and Eric Laetsch, both
of Salem, and President Hart. !
Laetsch Is president of the nation-!
al group.
At Monday morning's session the
beauticians voted to invite Mrs. i
Dwight D. Eisenhower, wife of the
GOP presidential nominee, to at
tend the national convention.
Vivian Enyeart, Salem hair sty
list, won the hair styling contest
and will represent Oregon at the
national contest. Her model was
Gayle Stoddard of Salem, whose
hair dress and gown depicted a
theme of "Oregon Rose.''

for improvement of dental health
years, native to Marion and Benton
number of teeth found decayed
missing or filled averaged 13.
Appraising this as a need for
dental improvement in the Salem
area, the Marion County Health
Council a citizens' group went
on record as endorsing fluorida
tion of the water supply. Author
of the resolution was Dr. John
Goldsmith, a local physician. This
council joined the many dental
and medical organizations already
endorsing fluoridation.
Among those organizations fa
voring adding of fluorides to the
water are American Dental Asso
ciation, American Medical Asso
ciation, U. S. Public Health Serv
ice, American Academy of Pedi
atrics, U. S. Bord of Health, Ore
gon State Board of Health, U. S.
Dental Association and Marion and
Pollc County Dental Society.
In Salem, the 20-30 Club, a
service organization, went on rec
ord as favoring such addition to
the water supply and its members
are sending letters to the mayor
and city manager requesting that
such fluoridation be considered.
Opposition to fluoridation has
been voiced by Dr. Royal Lee, a
dealer in vitamin products with
offices In Los Angeles, Calif., and
Milwaukee, Wis. Lee contends that
"fluorine is a poison." He objects,
in a statement of Sept. 23, 1950,
that "it accumulates in the bones,
thereby making them brittle." In
a brochure compiled by the Lee
Foundation for Nutritional Re
search, selected testimonials and
copies of letters point out dangers
to be found in admitting this
fluorine for commercial use In
water supplies. Study of such ma
terial has been invited by propo
nents of fluoridation the better to
raise questions which dentists
claim "can be answered logically."
Recent primary elections result
ed in a 4 to 1 acceptance of fluori
dation in the city of Corvallis.
Consideration of this proposition
in Corvallis stemmed from the
recent addition of fluorides to the
water supply in Gearhart. Also the

out of a can ... .
for Oregon!
Right now, as you read this, thousands of peo
ple around the globe are opening cans of Oregon
products.
A simple act in itself, opening a can. Hardly
worthy of notice, you may say. But every time
one of these cans is opened, it adds to the
stream of money flowing into our State.
The value of the fruits, vegetables, sea food
and other food products canned in Oregon is
about $100,000,000 a year. This money bene
fits you and everyone who lives in the State,
because products that are sent out of the
State in cans, in passing from producer to
canner to merchant, leave all of us with more
money to spend.
For more than 50 years, American Can Com
pany through the development of new con
tainers and new techniques for canning has
been helping the canning industry widen mar
kets for what Oregon produces. The constantly
increasing income resulting from this co-operation
between local and nationwide industry is
a typical example of the benefits that forward
looking businesses can continue to create for
Oregon in a free, competitive economy.
