The thrill of motoring is in
new experiences, in new sights
uncovered by new highway
construction.
The necessity for a faster and
more accessible route on one
leg and new dam construction
on the other opens two new
scenic routes from Portland
into Central Oregon. But not
until next year, late perhaps,
will the summer travel on the
new routes escape the dust and
confusion of new-road con
struction. Th afternoon sun glistened
on the white shiny AAA car of
the Oregon Motor association
as we left Portland in search
of treasures on the Warm
Springs cutoff, hidden for years
to all except the more rugged
travelers of forest service roads.
Our car sped swiftly through
the Mt. Hood loop's majestic
forests, past government camp
and the turnoff to Timberline
I lodge, Oregon's winter play
ground. Wapanita pass road
way was dropping away rap
idly toward the flatflands of
Central Oregon when slashed
timber gave the indication the
new road would drop in a south
erly direction from near Bear
Springs across the Warm
Springs reservation into the
Madras flatlands.
A hard-to-find forest service
road leads from Bear Springs
to the finished portions of the
cutoff. The northern seven
miles of the road are farthest
from completion. One of the
largest highway bridges in Ore
gon east of the Cascades is be
ing rapidly constructed on Mill
creek, a mountain stream fed
by Mt. Jefferson snow and
glaciers.
The road quickly leaves the
heavily wooded lands and
shoots straight across long, slop
ing ridges past Hehe, scene of
the annual huckleberry festival,
and into Warm Springs on the
Deschutes river. The new cut
off will shave 32 miles from
the 198-mile run to Bend. Mau
pin is eliminated in the trip to
Redmond or Bend. Not adding
much to the already scenic
drive to the Bend area, future
use of the road will make it
more famous as a shortcut to

Looking down from new highway on dam site near Detroit.
the fishing, hunting, park and
scenic areas of Central Oregon.
On a two-day trip, a late day
start still leaves sufficient time
to explore the wonders of the
Deschutes gorge and the Cen
tral Oregon lava formations.
For the return trip, turn the
wheel to Sisters across the lava
beds with the three majestic
peaks on the horizon to the
west. But, if you must make
the loop this year, be prepared
for the "proceed at your own
risk" sign at the crossroads
where the North and South
Santiam roads fork high in the
mountains near the Santiam
pass summit.
On the North Santiam route,
headed for the adventure of a
look at the construction work
on the Detroit dam, the road
crosses and follows again and
again what appears to be excel
lent trout streams.
Detroit is now a busy, bustling
center of activity. The stamp
of death is not yet evident upon
this little community which is
destined to grow and thrive and
then die as the waters of the
fifth largest dam In the nation
backs 40 feet of water over the
town.
The small, one-street village
has had a Deculiar historr in
the last IS years. Once before
the little town seemed con
demned to die along with Mill
City, 20 miles farther west. In
1836, when the Hammond Lum
ber company liquidated its
holding. Perhaps the Tillage

1952. Citizens have asked the
engineers to establish the city
above the water line.
The road from Detroit fol
lows the North Santiam river
to near the dam site, six miles
below Detroit. But there it rises
rapidly to the new construction
high above the river floor.
When the road is completed
motorists will command an
amazing view of the forests
and valley below.
When the $64,000,000 dam is
completed the touring motorist
will view one of Oregon's most
spectacular sights. But until the
new road is complete, a miser
able stretch of 15 miles of
rough, narrow roads is enough
to take heed of the state high
way department warning at the
crossroads take the South
Santiam route into Albany, if
possible. Weekday construction
makes travel even more hazard
ous. The dam site is a beehive of
activity as construction pro
gresses rapidly. Camp Mari
gold, a construction camp, has
been established and men and
machines have started the gi
gantic process of the dam con
struction. Downstream from
that dam will be another. Big
Cliffs, regulating reservoir.
Only a 50-mile drive from
Salem, the new North Santiam
route offers an excellent one
day outing for a look at one
of the nation's larger dams. ,
Remember, however, the
Sleasant trip past the dam site
i for another year when the
new road is completed. At least
we think so.

CHAPTER TWO
POWERING YOUR PLANE
When I originally became In
terested in model planes as a
hobby, I didn't think much about
building planes that actually
flew. My first models were of the
solid type. I spent hours carving
scale models complete to every
detail I was able to put into
tnem, some 0f these managed to
bring me a few awards. As I got
more int0 model work, gradually
t got tne urge to make planes
that couid take to the air. Most
'modelers. I think, soon net this
same feeling
There are new problems to
worry you when you get into
constructon flying models. It is
best to begin with the simpler
designs such as gliders. They
erixia vrtii tho firf nrinrinlps of
fying that carry on to the most
complicated designs. But model
ers just don't stay with gliders
long. They go on to designs that
stay in the air by some means of
powering.
My first attempts at flying
were made with the simple all-
balsa stick type planes that make
use of the twisting effect of rub
ber to rotate the prop. This type
of plane is simple in construct
ion and flies well. More compli
cated rubber powered craft still
use the same principles of flying
although wings and fuselage
may be built up with ribs and
bracing, covered and built to
scale. Many hours of flying fun
can be yours with these planes.
For a few tips on rubber pow
ering, remember that common
rubber bands are not suitable for
your plane. Ask your hobby
dealer for either T-56 or English
black rubber. Remember that it's
a good Idea to lubricate the rub
ber, using a mixture of equal
parts tincture of green soap and
glycerine. Your corner drug store
can mix this for you.
Modelers have worked out sev
eral ways to wind their rubber
powered jobs. Smaller planes
can be wound by twisting the
prop by hand. Many use de
vices made from hand drills
which fasten to a loop on -the
prop hub or shaft. By rotating
the hand drill, a modeler can
wind his plane in short order.
The next step in model de
signs usually make use of gas
powered engines and jet engines.
To get started in this class of
plane, I think it would be smart
to use a small glo-ignition engine
having a displacement from .020
to .040 cubic inches. They are
small enough to fit into medium
size models. They don't cost
much, and they're easy to oper
ate. Remember to follow instruc
tions that go with the engine,
and get a prop of the right size
as recommended. You'll need a
1 volt doorbell battery for ig
nition to start the engine plus
some wire to connect it to the
battery. Then mount it securely
on a block and break it in before
installing it in your model.
Another small engine popular
with model makers is a type op
erating from pressure contained
in C02 fizz bottle cartridges.
There are gadgets made to con
nect the cartridges with the en
gine by means of small tanks
and tiny copper tubing easily
placed in your model design.
Later, after you have built and
flown the primary models using
these small engines, you will
probably want to go on building
bigger free flight stunt and speed
models. Some of these take en
gines up to .600 cubic inches.
One of the recent new methods
worked out for driving model
planes is the jet engine. Work
ing just like real jet engines,
these tubular units really fit in
nicely with streamlined, modern
designs and are becoming popu
lar with builders all over.
Powering is really one of the
most fascinating parts of model
making. The big state-wide con
test sponsored by the Plymouth
dealers of Oregon and being held
at Eugene July 16 and 17 will see
plenty of examples of all plane
types. There should be entries
in every class, using all methods
of powering. If I can possibly
make it, I want to be there fly
ing myself.
o
Slurry Treatment
Gaining Popularity
With Wheatraisers
Although dry methods give
just as effective control, use of
the newer wet so-called slurry
treatment to prevent wheat smut
is gaining popularity throughout
Oregon's wheat belt, N. C Ander
son, Morrow county agricultural
agent, said Wednesday.
To make use ot (.eresan M oy
the wet, slurry method requires a
specially built machine designed
to weigh accurately and measure
wheat seed as the amount of
treating material used. The num
ber of such machines in use has
increased greatly within the past
year or so.
An advantage the wet method
has over other treating methods
using Ceresan product is the fact
that obnoxious dust and fumes
are eliminated. With the slurry
method, seed wheat must still be
allowed to set 24 hours between
treating and planting This wait
ing period allows lull utilization
of gas that is formed by Ceresan
M. It kills smut pores. Although
water Is used in the slurry meth
od, the moisture content of seed
wheat is increased less than one
per cent by proper use of this
treatment.
New Improved Ceresan, copper
carbonate or basic copper are all
recommended smut control treat
ments. With new Improved Cere
san, dust and fumes are objec
tionable. Copper carbonate and
basic copper, while effective, de
pend entirely upon direct contact
with the smut pores. Their use is
ineffective when mixing Is not
thorough, the county agent points
out. All commercial seed treatprs
in Morrow county have Installed
the slurry method.
Slurry treatment which result
ed from short-cuts or cutting
down on the amount of offensive
material has been virtually elim
inated through use of the auto
mate slurry treaters. Slurry
treating seed as it comes from!pathy and for the floral tributes
the field will not affect germln-'to the memory of our wife and
ation if the grain Is planted with-: mother.
