No Added Rain Seen From Cloud Seeding By OSC Scientists Science Is still hopeful that it can put reality into man's long nurtured dream to do something about the weather. But Oregon State college metorologists say much research is needed before such efforts as cloud seeding will give controlled weatner cnanges. The OSC researchers have just completed a four-year study of commercial cloud seeding in Ore gon's dryland wheat area of Sher man, Gilliam, and Morrow coun ties. Their conclusion: no defi nite increases in rainfall due to seeding. The studv was made bv Rus sell Lincoln.

Average rainfall from 1930 to 1950 had been 10.5 inches during the 10 months, September through June, when cloud seeding is prac ticed in the Tn-county area. Yearly variations were wide, how ever, during the 10-month periods: 5.8 inches in 1938 compared to 16.6 inches in 1947. Reports from regional weather stations, along with actual rain fall measurements in nearby un seeded areas, gave a computed average natural raintaii or siignt ly under 11 inches for the lour test years. The scientists measured 11 items used to compute naturaj rainfall, allowed statistical mar gin of error, and figured 12.60 inches of rain must fall before it could be credited to anything but chance. Actually, only 11.58 inches fell during the seeding season one inch under the total needed to credit it to anything but nature. It is auite probable, meteoro logists say, that .weather condi tions are rare when man can make clouds release rain or with hold hail. But thev believe the Tri-county study has provided a good tool for measuring present cloud seeding methods.

At Heppner Legion Hall 'LijiijM THERE'S SOMETHINGS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS QUESTION: Some friends who live just outside the limits of a small city in an other state had a fire and called the city fire depart ment. The fire was put out but they got a good sized bill from the fire depart ment and their insurance company wouldn't pay it though they paid for the fire damage. Is this custo mary? ANSWER: Yes, it is usual for a city fire department to charge for trips outside their city area and payment for that charge is not pro vided in the standard Fire Insurance policy. However for a very small additional premium, payment of those charges can be added to the fire coverage. If you'll address youi own Insurance questions to this office, we'll try to give you the correct answers and there will be n0 charge or obligation of any kind.
