She is Miriam Brown, a lithe 19 year old, blue-eyed brunette, who was officially named "Miss Strawberry Shortcake" by Gov ernor Elmo Smith. The coronation ceremony, with whipped cream flowing like champagne, took place at the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association meeting in Bend. Oregon, the governor declared, has all the ingredients to make it the natural center of the straw berry shortcake. The newspaper publishers, who polished off some 300 shortcakes, smacked their lips In agreement. Miss Strawberry Shortcake, who trained for her new duties by reigning as queen over the Lebanon Strawberry Festival earlier this week joined with Governor Smith in urging Ore gonlans to engage in a shortcake 'eating spree this coming week. Their motion drew a hearty second from representatives of the farmers who produce the in gredients the Oregon Wheat Commission, Oregon-Washington Strawberry Council and Ore gon Dairy Products Commissions. The three commodity groups said that Bakers, retail stores and restaurants have given as surance that the making of a prime shortcake will be readily available during "Strawberry Shortcake Week."

DICK PHONE 6-9920 HEPPNER OSC Cloud Seeding Report Disagrees With Federal Group OREGON STATE COLLEGE Scientists at Oregon State college have taken sharp issue with re cent reports from the federal ad visory committee on weather control that cloud seeding in the Tri-County area of Oregon In creased precipitation. Dr. Lyle D. Calvin, OSC agricul tural experiment station statis tician, has compared the fede ral committee report with an OSC evaluation issued in 1954 that "found no definite increases in rainfall due to seeding" in the Tri-County project. Calvin points to two procedu res used by the federal committee in which "invalid assumptions or interpretations" appear to have been made. OSC evalued cloud seeding ef forts in the Tri-County area (Sherman, Gilliam and Morrow counties) from 1950 to 1954 for the Oregon Wheat Commission. Russell Lincoln, Fred Decker and John Day, physics department meteorologists, cooperated on the project. They reported that not enough "above natural" rainfall had oc curred to credit it to "anything but chance." The 11-man federal advisory committee, however, has sent an interim report to President Eisen. hower stating that increases in precipitation were produced by cloud seeding efforts in a number of areas on the West Coast. Recent news stories have sing led out the Tri-County project for special mention as showing an 18 percent increase. Since the committee's report was issued, Calvin has written to the committee staff to obtain in formation on their methods in an attempt to explain differences in the two reports. In his comparison, he has found a number of important dif ferences between the ACWC and the OSC evaluations. One of these, he explained, is that the ACWC used a consider ably lower level of acceptance for concluding that rainfall was due to seeding. The lower level of acceptance enabled the advis ory committee to conclude that smaller Increases are due to seed. Ing, but at four times the risk of attributing increases to cloud seeding that are caused simply by nature. Lincoln, Decker and Day point out that the ACWC report drew strong objections at the April In ternational conference at Tucson, Ariz., on the Scientifiic Basis of Weather Modification Studies. The OSC workers have asked that the committee publish de tails on the methods used In calculating project results and In arriving at findings on the pro. Ject. So far, the committee has issued only general conclusions. They emphasized that the great need is not for continued evalu ations of past commercial opera tions, which have characteristi cally lacked design for evalua tion, but rathe'r for well-engi neered experiments designed to State Traffic Deaths Higher Than in 1955 Twenty-five traffic deaths in May brought Oregon's five month traffic death toll to 147, secretary of state Earl T. Newbry reported today. The death toll is now nine more than for the same period of 1955. Although the count released today is tentative it could go higher if delayed reports are re ceived or if persons injured should succumb later it was consider ably below the count for May last year. Thirty-three died in ac cidents then. The comparatively low May toll cheered safety officials since it came on the heels of a record killing April when 39 traffic deaths were reported. Officials said the April count produced a mileage death rate of 6.5 persons killed for each 100 nillion miles traveled. Total' miles driven on streets and high ways hit 602,070,414, the highest so far this year.

Ford's record wn Biwd nd cwtifitd by Ou United States Auto Ctub A Ford V-8 hurtled across the brick and asphalt surface of tough and testing Indi anapolis Speedway . . . whirling through the tight turns and flashing over the straight stretches ... to set a mark that no stock car ever reached beforel Previous to Ford's record run, no other stock car had gone even one lap at Indi anapolis at 100 m.p.h., but one of Ford's laps was timed at the electrifying speed of 113.7 m.p.h.1 And Ford averaged over 107 m.p.h. for the full five hundred miles . . . close to the average set by the ex tremely costly, specially-built racer which won the Memorial Day "500"! Ford fully realizes that the welter of claims and counter claims about "racing victories" (many of them completely con tradictory) must be confusing and disillu sioning to the public. Ford ran this race against time, over the true "Classic" dis tance and at the most famous track in America, in order to dispel this cloud of doubt and disbelief and prove that no one outperforms Fordl Peter de Paolo, leader of the team of drivers that piloted the winning Ford, states flatly: "No other stock car could have equalled this performance!" And Pete de Paolo should know, for he was the first driver to win the "500" Classic with a better than 100 m.p.h. average. And now he comes back with a group of drivers to establish a stock car record with the great '56 Fordl Ford wrote this new mark large and bold in the record books. And the whole Ford did the trick.
