' .1 I PAGE SIX THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND. OREGON MONDAY, OCTOBER 18,' 1948 Fuel Forecasts For Winter Are Termed Gloomy By Muiiroen Gollilin l (Unitctl l'reiut Sturr Curre6iintlt'iit) Washington, Oct. 18 (111 Gov .. eminent experts today made these winter fuel forecasts: Coal Plenty to meet demand (but not of the high quality smokeless kind). Kuel oil Harely enough (if everything goes right) to prevent the severe local shortages which caused hardships lust winter. Electric power Local short ages and a generally precarious balance between supply and de mand. Natural gas Nationwide home healing aiul cooking in some areas for days at a lime. Haserf on Normal Winter Gloomy as some of these fore casts arc, they are' based on the optimlslic assumption that this winter will be "normal." Any number of things could make ' the picture blacker long strikes, extra bad weather, sud denly increased military demand, mechanical breakdowns, transpor tation tieups. Steel is the villain in the piece. Lack of it has kept the oil, power, and gas industries from expand ing to meet increased demand. The experts sized up the situa tion, fuel by fuel, this way: Coal It's coming out of the ground at the tremendous rale of 12,000,000 tons a week. Con sumers had a 49-day supply o.i Sept. 1. The coal car shortage which closed many mines last year has been eased. Production of high quality smokeless coal don't meet demand because rel atively lew mines produce that kind. Lack of steel for new min ' ing machinery o id cause a "crisis" In this Industry later on, producers say. Local ShortutfCH Problem Fuel oil There could be local shortages but they are not expect- nrl In ha no cnrlnilc no ittof win. IU U.J 1U.-.I. ..... ter's. Lack of steel has prevented ' plant expansion. The industry ex pects to meet anticipated demand of 6,500,000 barrels of crude oil n day. But it won't be able to lay up reserves. Users will have to be careful. Industry committees are ready In cooperation with state and local governments to pool supplies for shortage areas. Power Generators are oper ating practically at capacity and it isn't enough. Because of the steel shortage, breakdowns could be serious. California and the Pa cific northwest already are suf fering shortages. A while back Consolldlted Edison In Chicago had to irtrtalf power deliveries for more than a day while It made repairs. Reserve generating ca pacity in the nation is about Hi per cent of total capacity. The normal reserve before was 20 per cent. Natural gas This Is the dark est part of the fuel picture. Cur tailment of delivery to industrial users already has started in the midwest and Applachain area. Lack of steel to build pipelines and expand production is to blame.

Va. tin-Trans. porting orchid plants from the famous Imperial gardens at Tok yo to West Virginia without spe cial equipment is quite a trick. Prof. Torkel Holsoe of West Virginia university's agricultural experiment station did it, how ever, with the loss of fewer than a dozen of the plants He is now cultivating 350 plants and several thousand seedlings, Holsoe was a major on a troop carrier in the Philippines and Ja pan in 1945 when he acquired his orchid plants. Some came from the Philippines, where he traded old shirts and underwear with the natives for the plants. Others, of a rarer variety, were given to him after he had admir ed them in the imperial garens and in the spacious gardens of a Japanese prince at Tokyo. wnen ne was ordered back to the United States. Holsoe boarded a destroyer with 150 plants which nad been .dried and packed for the 8,600 mile trip. They were placed In officers' quarters on the ship and arrived in San Francisco at Christmas time without mis hap. . . Because orchids may die if the temnerature ia below 50 nr nhnvp 90, hi .used a Pullman space to transport them from San Fran cisco to Chicago. From there, he nau to go to ort.Knox, Ky., to be discharged but no Pullman space was available. Ho traveled in a coach, keeping the box of plants between his kneps at night. From Fort Knox, he traveled by train to Grafton, W. Va., and there transfen-ed to a bus for Morganstown, 25 miles away. At 4 a. m.. on a wintry night, the bus broke down. Holsoe gave up hope of reaching his goal without injuring the orchid plants. Luckily, another bus came along in a few minutes, and only seven or eight plants died before reaching Morganstown, Prof; Holsoe has been rewarded for his efforts. He can sell a fully grown orchid plant for about $30, or a flowering one for about $200. The average plant produces two or three flowers a year but some mav yield six or seven. Florists in the Morganstown area are quick to buy the flowers because of their freshness, com pared with imported ones.

Ellis (United Pre Beltnet ' Writer) New York (IP So you plan to load yourself up with cod liver oil and vitamin A pills to ward off that autumn or winter cold. Well, the plan may not work. Such is the word from Dr. Paul A. Day of the University of Ar kansas who insists that there are many misconceptions on the val ue of cod liver oil and the vi tamins. Dr. Day, reporting to the Amer ican Chemical Society, said that most persons are not deficient in vitamin A and that therefore at tempts to prevent colds in large population groups by giving cod liver oil have been "almost uni formly disappointing." Won't Restore Hair Dr. Day believes that failure to understand the basic functions of vitamins has led many other pop ular misconceptions. One he said, is the belief, that the color of gray hair can be restored by dos es of pantothenic acid, a B vi tamin.
