Strawberry Capitol
Bid of Oregon
Tonight Oregon made a bid for
the "Strawberry Shortcake Capi
tol of the U. S. A." title, and
backed up its claim with a newly-crowned
shortcake not
cheesecake queen.
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."

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. From the hood-full of
throbbing horsepower to the road-hugging
rear end, Ford demonstrated that it has
what it takes to make your driving more
enjoyable. Convince yourself that driving
a Ford can be real fun. Test drive a '56
Ford. There's a set of keys waiting for
you, so come in and see us soon.
