No Objection To
Salem Night Radio
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5. (AP)
No objections were presented at a
hearing before tho federal communi
cations commissions todny to the ap
plication or radio station KSLM, Sa
lem. Ore., for full time operation at
night.
At present, said Ben s. Fisher, who
appeared for KIjSM, the station is off
the air at local sun-set time.
A pepper pod grown In the garden
of Mm. R. D. Jordon at Wood lawn.
Term., has the exact shape of a boot.
With an end to the rain and snow
storms that soaked southern Oregon
for several weeks, danger of more
mine cave-ins In Jacksonville Is con
sidered passed at least for the time
being and miners threatened not
long ago by a series of slides have re
sumed activity in the historic town's
numerous "backyard diggings."
Since four of the shallow drifts
caved In ten days ago, no new troub
le has been reported, and although
the ground Is still soaxed to a con
siderable depth tlrre seems to be no
indications of more land giving way.
Many of the mines have been tim
bered and all properties which caved
In, some to depths of ftve or six feet
In small areas, have been filled in.
Most of the workmen, however have
gone back to their diggings with lit
tle apprehension of more trouble.
Barriers around the spot which
sunk In the main street were remov
ed as no further sinking became evi
dent, it is expected that Jacksonville
officials will take steps at the city
council meeting tonight for tho pre
vention of further tunneling under
the streets, which has resulted in
scores of drifts honeycombing tho
"pay gravel" beneath the city.

Only it is a "sound'' hand a radio beam instead of a light beam.
Your pilots "hear" their road. Not only that if they drift to either
"highway" edge the signal changes, says into their ears: "You're

I'nited pilots can tell where any particular beam is leading them
because every few seconds it announces its special "call letters"
like seeing a highway sign every quarter mile!
