Salem, Oregon, Thursday, March 14, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAE Section" I Page 9 Science Winner Returns to Salem , By MARGARET MAGEE Capital Journal Writer ' "It's very inspiring. There is so much that is inspiring about Washington," said Marjorie Simila, North Salem High's senior, who was one of the 30 finalists in the 16th annual National Science Talent Search in Washington, D.C., last week. Marjorie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Simila, 1334 Mari6n St, returned Tuesday nicht from lhi nations capital by plane, staying oyer one extra day to do some signtseeing on her own with her roommate. , Wants to Contribute Talking of the week and its in spiration, she said seeing such work as they did in the Carnegie Institute of Technology "made one want to contribute something like they have." "I think the most valuable part of it was meeting the other 31) winners from all over the coun try," Marjorie said, adding, "It was amazing how much alike we are, even though coming from dif ferent backgrounds." The Salem girl, whose exhibit was samples and lest results on detergents, which won her a $100 science scholarship, said she did not have an opportunity to see all of the exhibits. But of those she saw she had this comment: Plans OSC Future "Some of them had taken a lot of work. They were so advanced and went quite a ways into the field. More than you get in ordi nary high, school work." Among the places the group Visited on guided tours were the Bureau of Standards; The Naval Ordnance Laboratory; ' and the Carnegie Institute of Technology where they heard lectures by world famous scientists. Right now Marjorie, who has taken all of the science courses that were offered since she was in the ninth grade, plans to do her future work at Oregon Stale College. Court Studies Student Safety Some of the improvements re cently suggested by Principal Wal ter Beck of Morningside school looking toward the safeguarding of pupils who walk along South 12th Street from Morningside to High way 99E will probably be made in the near future. The Marion County Court Wed nesday gave Engineer John Ander son authority to use his judgment in a portion of the suggested pro gram but withheld judgment on the balance. . The road department .would widen the shoulders oh South' 12th Street and add fine gravel to the surface. Later berry vines that tend to. narrow - the shoulders would be removed. As for the suggestion that the county build a 5-foot walk for a distance of some 150 feet from Red Hill Dr. and Peck Ave. no final action was taken. It was pointed out that the proposed walk would not be located on a portion of the county road system. The path would benefit children approach ing the school from the west. MAN. I LIVE HERE DETROIT (UP)-San Francisco jazzman Turk Murphy was about to drive a truck carrying his band and its instruments on a street closed to commercial traffic when he was stopped by the law. "This is no commercial vehicle," Mur phy protested. "This is my sports car, touring car, business car and runahout besides. I live on this street." The officer permitted him to drive on. Lemon Latest Entrant for Citrus Derby Latest entry in the citrus fruit derby was exhibited to the Capi tal Journal Tuesday by. Mrs. Ed Wanner, Rt. 1, Woodb'urn. It was a large lemon that weighed in at 1 pound, 2 ounces, and was 12A inches around the middle. The lemon was one of four that grew on a lemon tree in a bed room at the Wanner home, she said. It was the largest one this year, although there have been larger ones in previous years. Most of them have been given away to friends for use, she said. The lemons grow on a 12-year-old 4-foot-tall tree that was given to them several years ago, Mrs. Wanner said. The tree is of nurs ery stock. It requires no particu lar care except watering, she said. It is the third local citrus prod uct reported to the Capital Jour nal in recent days, " An orange tree with two fruits on it was reported last week and another lemon tree a week earlier. Kerr to Head Infantry Unit Lt. Col. Robert M. Kerr, USA reserves, Portland attorney has been named commander of the 413th infantry regiment, 104th In fantry Division, which has a com pany in Salem. . Kerr replaces Col. Eugene G. Cushing, who the first of March took over his duties as commander of the 104th Division. Kerr served in World War II as an enlisted man and infantry officer and saw duty in the Philippines and Japan. Af ter the surrender of Japan he headed the prosecution section of Engineer Says Signal Light Not Necessary There Is no real need for a signal light. at the South 12th and Hoyt street intersection, the Marion County Court was informed Wed nesday by Glenn S. Paxson of the State Highway Department. Paxson reported the results of a traffic survey made at the inter section as of Feb. 14 taken over a 16-hour period. Based on this sur vey it was computed that 9,299 vehicles would enter the intersec tion during a 24-hour period. Twenty one per cent, or 1,966 vehicles entered the intersection from Hoyt street. Of these ve hicles 1,214 made a right turn indicating that only 752 would bene fit from a signal light. Paxson said the results obtaining by installing a signal could be achieved at less expense by ex tending southward 12th street for a distance of some 200 feet under its present pattern of curbs. At the same time it would be ad visable to prohibit parking on 12th street for some 200 feet north and south of Hoyt street.
