Fringe Areas
Said to Face
Health Danger
(Story Also on rage 1.)
Fringe area drainage and sani
tation troubles which have led to
ne request for congressional in
vestigation of housing approval
ere the -basis of strong health
department support for long range
planning Tuesday.
A joint statement by health de
partments of Salem and of Mar
ion and Polk counties labeled the
suburban situation as potential
ly dangerous to health, and ex
pected it to become increasingly
worse if steps are not taken to
control indiscriminate housing
and huslnei develnnment in the
fringe areas. J
Biggest threat, the statement
aid, is in inadequate provisions
for sewage disposal in fringe
areas which do not have sanitary
ewers. This situation is doubly
dangerous in some areas because
of the population'! dependence
on wells which can easily become
contaminated by surface or sub
surface drainage.
Fw Surface Control
"The flooding of property,
roads and the surfacing of septic
tank effluent has been due large
ly to poor surface drainage con
trol and waterlogged soil condi
tions," the statement said. j
"In areas of very sparse de
velopment where soil conditions
are suitable the disposal of sew
age may be accomplished satis
factorily by the tise of septic
tanks and leaching trenches. As
the population density in such
areas increase, however, exper
ience has shown that individual
installations become troublesome
and hazardous due to verload-
ing of - the soil with domestic
ewage."
" "With the expected Influx of
population, resulting from pos
, aible industrial and military de-
-velopment, problems of surface
.drainage and domestic sewage
disposal will be aggravated," the
health departments Mid.
Seasonal Rains
"Seasonal rains and poor storm
water drainage contribute to the
. problem. Unless community sani
tary sewers and storm water
'drainage systems conforming to
master plan are provided for
the growing fringe areas, the in
'cidence of defective individual
sewage
mount.
disposal
systems will
The use of individual sewage
disposal systems should be limit
ed to land areas where soil
characteristics and sub surface
formations will permit satisfac
tory operations within the bounds
of the individuals own property.
Residential Lets
"Residential lots of 6,000
square feet or more in such areas
may be satisfactory for individual
ewage disposal facilities, provid
ed a public water supply is avail
able. "Some of the " circumstances
that make the use of individual
sewage disposal system inprac
tical are soils with insufficient
porosity (ability to absorb or hold
water), underlying clay and hard
pan or rock, high water table,
periodic flooding, subsurface con
ditions permitting effluent seep
age to underground drinking
water supply ..."
Charges Multiply
Against City Man
A Salem man, fined $250 and
sentenced to 10 days in Jail Tues
day in Municipal Court on plead
ing guilty to driving while intoxi
cated, was served there with a
Municipal Court warrant for
driving while his license was
suspended. He was fined an addi
tional 8100 and sentenced to an
other 10 days on pleading guilty
to that charge.
Police said Abe Combest, 1400

Powerful Faith
He told of finding powerful faith
in God among the Koreans, de
spite the - devastation of their
homes, of finding a hunger for in
formation and leadership among
the Japanese.
He said he was encouraged bv
the realistic approach of the
church In Korea, and the Koreans'
capacity for religion. "They are
not taking it all out in emotional
ecstasy," he said.. They are pro
viding for widows of rnrtTediBloomfieIo
pastors, building churches and
schools and recreating bodies and
souls in such things as the ampu
tee training program. '
Toured Churches
He said he was encouraged, too,
by his tour of churches in the U.S.
We are giving better and singing
better, he said. "Everybody's
building a church." he said, re
porting church population growth
everywhere.
But the effort was not compar
able to what could be done, or
what was being done in the for
eign fields, he indicated. He voiced
admiration lor the way the church
is- tackling and solving its own
problems in Korea. "I only hope
they do it fart enough," he said. .

StcrnConcert
Of Enduring
Beauty, Polish
By STANLEY BUTLER
Asm. Prof, of Music,
Willamette University
The! Portland Symphony Or
chestra, with conductor Theodore
and Isaac Stern as'.
violin soloist, gave a concert
last evening of enduring music
by Bach, Haydn and Beethoven.
. i
Stern brooded over the Beetho
ven Concerto in tones of aching
beauty. This was a haunting per
formance of reverent communica
tion. One also remembers mo
ments of light-hearted tender
ness as melting as a child's smile.
Let us quickly add that vio
linist Stern can also soar power
fully as he rides over the crest
of a phrase. Ves, there was vir
ility as well as gentleness in
this performance. There was the
illusion of effortless balance be
tween extrovert virtuosity and
inward musing.
Sympathetic Agreement
Conductor Bloomfield molded
the Orchestra io sympathetic
agreement with the soloist's in
terpretation. This was high art,
for Stern's reading struck me
by its unique spirituality.
The concert began with a
creditable performance of the
Bach Fourth Brandenburg Con
certo. The courage of the young
conductor in attacking this dif
ficulty work is admirable. None
of the parts can be hidden in
music of such transparent tex
ture. One ventures to guess that
now and then the cellos and
basses, knew they were lagging.
Of the solo performers - in the
Bach, the flute work of John May
was commanding for its clarity
and brilliance. Yet ideal balance
was lacking among the two flutes
and violin. '
Toe-Mufflca Wdwlnds
During the first movement of
the following Haydn Symphony No.'
97, 1 was cavilling over the too
muffled woodwinds, as they dueted
with the strings. But soon the in
fectious humanity of Haydn's mu
sle began to pieroe through. I hap
pily shed my critical acumen and
I was grateful to Bloomfield's sure
trip.
What eloquent colouring there
was in the slow movement! The
movement had deeply felt harmo
nies and unexpected developments.
The Menuctto began and ended
with stolid peasant measures, and
so was a contrasting frame for the
enchanting and familiar trio. No
thing v-as lacking for me in the
Finale of the Symphony.

Scolts Mills Pigs'
Deaths Not Caused
By Poison Wheat i
PORTLAND UH - Federal Food
and Drug Administration officials
reported Tuesday there was u6
connection between , Portland's
missing poison wheat and the
death of two pigs at Scotts Mills in
Marion County.
About 30 tons of wheat, believed
poisoned by benzene derivative
fumigant, was scooped off the top
of 25 cars of government-owned
wheat and piled on a dock here.
Some of this wheat was reported
stolen last week. FDA officials
warned that the wheat was poison
and not fit for animal nor human
consumption.
Meantime farmer B. G. Brickley,
Scotts Mills, reported that two of
his pigs had died after eating some
newly purchased wheat.

PORTLAND i.f Opponents of
Pelton Dam appealed to Gov.
Elmo Smith Tuesday to use hir
influence to stop construction of
the proposed Portland .General
Electric dam on the Deschutes
River.
They presented petitions bearing
more than 5.000 signatures, which.
tbey said, had been collected in
10 days. This has encouraged them
to consider an initiative measure
against the dam, they said.
They asked the governor to sup
port legislation in Congress to give
states authority over such rivers
as the Deschutes.
PGE won a license for the dam
from the Federal Power Commis
sion over opposition of the state
Fish, Game and Hydro-electric
commissions. Federal authority to
license the dam construction was
upheld in federal courts. t
