State Landscape Architects See Need for Study Three top officials talked state landscaping problems at a quar terly meeting of the Oregon So ciety of Landscape Architects here over the weekend. . Opportunity for long range de velopment of the Capitol Group into one of the most beautiful areas in the nation was pointed out by Secretary of State Mark Hatfield. Gov. Robert Holmes out lined the Alses Basin study re- ccntly started- he warned against expecting inv mediate conclusions from such a study. - State Treasurer Sig Unandor urged the group to help in find ing an equitable solution to prob lems of highway advertising. The three members of the Board of Control urged the landscape architecture profession to integrate activities to work with local com munities in order to obtain great est influence on development of the state It was added that land use pol icies and land planning basically must originate with local com munity groups. Members of the board were in full agreement that rapid growth of the state requires intensive study and planning at all levels. Florence Holmes Gerke, presi dent of the society, suggested that professional planners and top of ficials have the responsibility of keeping Oregon a beautiful place in which to live while utilizing technical facilities of modern civil zation.

Salem Communications Captain traffic light controller at intersection of Liberty and Center, Streets. This complicated mechanism counts the number of approaching ears, width between them and sets up period of green required for this intersection. (Statesman Photo) Traffic Lights Give More Orders Than Boss or Wife By ROBERT T. STEVENS Staff writer The Statetmaa Perhaps nothing in Salem con trols more people than the ever present, constant-working light. Not even wives, mother-in-laws or bosses give the go-ahead or put ine stop on people as oiien as uie red and green colored auto traffic lights or the walk-wait pedestrian signals. Within the city of Salem there are 59 intersections regulated by traffic lights. In these lights are some 1,500 lamps which burn 24 hours a day. Power to keep these lamps burning costs $1,200 each month. Salem's first traffic signals went up in 1936 on six downtown inter sections -including ones at Center and Liberty Streets and High and Commercial Streets. These orginal lights also flashed green, amber and red signals bull they were mounted on the street corners in stead of high over the middle of intersections as now. Fixed Time Variety Approximately 90 percent of all Salem traffic lights, including the pedestrian walk-wait signals, are of the fixed time variety. The other 10 percent, which are mounted on the most heavily con gested streets, are regulated by four types of traffic lights. These types vary with the amount of traffic, width and location of streets. Most complicated of these is the fully actuated type. This type, operating , through a complex electronic controller, counts the number of approaching cars, com putes tie width between each cat and sets up the amount of green light necessary. Such a controller operates lights at Ljberty and Center Streets. If the light is already green for approaching cars the controllers also subtracts from the amount of red set for crossing traffic, and vice versa. These lights and controllers are set off by a detector buried a few hundred feet up the street from the light. This detector sets up a force field which is activated when a car passes through it. Controller Fixes Time The fixed time signals have a controller which sets up the same amount of time for each red and green period. The type of light and controller for use. at each intersection is for easy serving the package should be nearly frozen, then i cut right through the j wrapper. . . no messy ; nanasnapingi Donald Poujade adjusts one designated by the State Traffic Engineering department. The time setting on the fixed time signal, to the consternation of motorists who claim that blankety blank red light lasted at least an hour, is never more than 55 seconds long. It is generally much shorter, according to Donald G. Poujade captain of the city communications division. The pedestrian wait signal is never lighted more than 35 seconds at a time, Poujade says. The pedestrian walk signal, which some complain switches to wait when they are in the middle of the street, lssts 10 seconds. The walk sign is timed this way to prevent people from trying to cross the street too close to the Retired Waldo Hills Farmer Dies in Salem William Henry Park, retired Waldo Hills farmer, died Sunday in a Salem nursing Jrame at the age of 88. Park farmed in the Waldo Hills near Silverton for 11 years before retiring to Salem in 1922. He was born Feb. 5. 1869, in Il linois, moved to Southern Oregon in 1910 and to this area the follow ing year. His second wife, the for mer Louella Wells of Salem, died two years ago. He was a member of First Christian Church. - He leaves one daughter, Miss Leila Park, Portland, and three sons, Lloyd L. Park, St. Helens, Wallace R: Park. Salem, and Clif ford A. Park. Portland. Services will be 1 p.m. Tuesday in Clough-Barrick chapel, Dr. Wayne Greene officiating. Burial will be in Belcrest Memorial Park. DEFENSE TALK SLATED Lt. Col. Younger Pitts, com mander of Portland Air Base, will speak an air defense at a Salem Rotary Club meeting Wednesday noon in Hotel Marion.

Opaa la dafty- Hi tvity Adjustment r, r- Vf xJ II il of the numerous dials on the time when auto-traffic is about to move across the intersection. When the walk sign changes, the pedestrian still has more than sufficient time to cross the inter section before the auto-traffic changes. . , Waats Buttons Used "One of our most depressing pro blems," says Captain Poujade, "is getting pedestrians to push the little buttons which regulate the walk-wait signals at certain corners." These buttons do not change the traffic light but they do assure the walker enough time to cross the street by prolonging the walk period. If he fails to push the button he may not get across the street before the red light changes, Poujade testified. Price of these complicated electronic mechanisms, which motorists and foot travellers fume over dozens -of times each day, rsnges from $2,500 to $6,000 per intersection installed. Five more Salem intersections are due for traffic lights. Some $27,202 has been set aside for the project. Each year the city budget ear marks $6,100 for maintenance of Salem's many traffic signals. Per formance of this maintenance re quires a force of several men. HEAT WITH V MODERN. oilKkeat SaS N. COMMIRCIAt PH. EM 3-4163 ffi nil V fc -ncr: -r;- iui-t J ACT Tit:'. J ' 7 NerSkeleton On Gein Farm Unidentified PLAINFIF.LD, Wis.. Dec. 1 l Officers said today there now is some doubt that the skeleton un earthed on Edward Gem's farm is that of a mysterious stranger who vanished along with an ac quaintance five years ago while hunting near the horror farm. Sheriffs Herb Wanserski of Port age County and Frank Series of Adams County said a gold tooth found in the skull of the skeleton discovered by Wanserski Friday apuai entry-dors not match thef dental work of either of the two long-missing men. Atty. Gen. Stewart Honeck and the State Crime Laboratory in Madison have contended that to the best of their knowledge all of Gein's known victims were wom en. The crime lab has not yet determined the sex of the skeleton. Gein, short, gaunt-looking- han dyman who lived alone on a ISO acre; farm six miles southeast of this' Waushara County community of 600 persons, has admitted kill ing and butchering two women and looting the graves of nine others. The 51-year-old bachelor whose crimes astonished the nation now is undergoing mental examina tions at Central State Hospital for the Criminal Insane in Waupun, about 50 miles south of here. , - Wanserski and a deputy spurred the ebbing investigation Friday when, r apparently without the knowledge of other police officials working on the gruesome case, they dug up a human skeleton and other bones from a garbage pit about 600 yards from Gein's lonely, ramshackle farm house. There was immediate specula tion that the bones might be the remains of either a mystery man nown omy as Ray Buness or of 43-year-old Walter (Bunk) Travis of Friendship.
