PAGE SIX HfEDFOIiD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, MAT 7. 1937. II Value Shown in Tests Made in Fruit Shipments by Oregon Washington Bu reau Interest Is Wide World-wide Interest ha been shown by fruit growers and shippers In the Kartman wrap, aaya the Oregon Washlngton Pear bureau, Request tor Information on lu availability nave come from aa distant a point a Africa. A bureau release atatet: The Hartman wrap, mad by a spec 11 copper-oil formula developed by Professor Hartman of Oregon State college, Is used by most of the mem bers of the Oregon-Washington Pear bureau. Only bureau membera may use the wrap with the words 'The Hartman Wrap' Imprinted on It. though the wrap without this im print ts available to those outside the bureau. The bureau, who ft nanoed the research work In develop Ing the wrap, share In the royalty by the wrap manufacturer. "Prof. Hartman has been conduct. Ing a number of experiments during the past aeason with chemically treated wraps tor botrytls and scald control in pears. The teats were plan ned as a check on the work of for mer years, to obtain Information re garding the behavior of the new 18 pound Hartman wrap, and to obtain additional data concerning the effic iency of oiled and non-olled copper wraps in botrytls control. Tests Are Made. "Comparable lots of Ahjou pears were packed In various wraps last September and specimens Inoculated with botrytls were Interspersed throughout the packages so as to In. sure that each pear would come Into contact with a diseased one during the storage period. Aa compared . commercial conditions this teat waa unusually severe, but It offered baals of comparison of the efficiency of the varloua wraps In both scald and botrytls oontrol. The final ex amination of the fruit was made during the first week; In April when the following results were noted: "(1) The 16-pound Hartman wrap proved slightly more effective than did the 14-pound wrap In both scald and botrytls control. Under the con ditions of this experiment there waa some spread of botrytls organism even through the 10-pound wrap, but the amount of spread was negli gible. If considered on the baals of commercial conditions. "(3) There was no Indication that the presence of oil In copperlred wrapa Interferes with botrytl oon trol, since the oiled wraps gave fully aa good control as did the unoiled wraps. Sheets Better. "(8) As In the tests of former Tears, the fruit wrapped with two sheets of paper Instead of one went through the storage period In un. usually good condition. Even under conditions aa severe aa those set up In these experiments, there was no spread of botrytls and scald control was excellent In the double-wrapped fruit. "(4) The soluble copper wraps such as were used prior to 1933 again gave good botrytls control but gave no protection against scald. Their also resulted In considerable copper injury. "(B) The oil content of the IS' pound Hartman wrap was sufficient to prevent Anjou scald. Ilravler Wrap Advised. "(8) It appears that botrytls, like many other decay-producing organ. lama varies In virulence, some strains of the organism being much more difficult to control than others. This probably accounts for the fact that In Individual cases the organism areas tnrough copperlaed wraps, whereas under ordinary circumstances it does not. "In view of the results obtained in past years, it la recommended that the Hartman wrap for 19S7 be man ufactured as It wu In 13. There Arrested By G. P. U. " -jl-1 f'tffip pf M Soviet Russia officials revealed that Genrlkb Vagoda (above), former bead of the G. P. U had been arrested for "breaches In office of a criminal nature" by his former subordinates in the secret police. (Associated Press Photo) appears to be no reason why changes in the procedure should be made at this time. "It is further recommended that the pear Industry use the 18-pound wrapa Instead of the 12 and 14 pound paper used In former years. Only a few used the 18-pound wraps In 1938. Obviously, the added protec tion afforded by the heavier paper In botrytls and scald control and In the prevention of mechanical Injury to the fruit more than offsets the extra cost." Merging Urged In Home Loan Units WASHINGTON, ' May 7, (AP) Senator Byrd D' Va.) laid before the senate today a proposal to con solidate three federal home loan or ganizations, declaring the merger would aava 134,900.000 a year. Byrd, chairman of a senate com mittee on government reorganization, said other suggestions for substan tial savings "are sure to follow" u this recommendation Is given a hear ing. His measure would combine the home loan bank board, the borne ownera loan corporation and the fed erai nousing administration Into a single unit called the federal home oredlt administration.

OF FIRE EFFORTS School Prepares Enrollees in Unifying Forces En gaged On Task of Fight Ing Forest Area Blazes CAMP WTMBH, May 7, (Spl) The national forest service region six, by conducting a nine-day school for time-keepers and radio men at this COO camp, has taken a major step toward solving one of the knottiest problems which CCC forces had to face during the disastrous 1938 Coos county forest fire. The school will train 73 Medford district enrollees, 38 of whom will lit Into the vital forest fire com. munlcatlons system a radio field op erators and the other 38 into admin istration aa time-keepers. The plan waa made possible tnrough the cooperation of Mai O R. Owens, district ccc commander, who ordered six enrollees from each or the 13 region alx national forest camps In the Medford district to at tend the school; through the In structor personnel of the Siskiyou national forest, veterans of the '38 fire; and through MaJ. James Prank land, region six engineer, J, P. Camp bell, regional fire officer, and Capt. C. L. pierce, former Medford district CCC fire chief for the army, which three men conceived the plan after observing the difficulties which arose In conducting the 1938 fire cam paign: and also through Capt. Rupert T. Ollbert, whose camp Wlmer offered facllltlea for the school. Runner At Head Siskiyou Instructors In the school are headed by Loran J. Cooper, Qa- Uce district ranger. Under him are Arthur J. Peterson, Slaklyou radio technician, who coordinated rvllo communications during the '38 fire: A. L. Jess, Chetco district adminis trative guard; Ray Burdlck, foreman; and S. D. Sloan, warehouseman at tached to Slaklyou forest headquar ters, Orants Pass. Robert Relnhardt, Applegate district assistant ranger, from the Rogue River national for est, was attached to the school to observe and to assist In instruction George orlfflth, region six oil let of education and Information, and R. O. Llndberg, regional training sup ervisor, attended the school In a sup ervisory capacity.' Llndberg devised the course of Instruction. Graduates of the school will In case of emergency be sent for service to any location in region alx ' which comprises all of Oregon and Wash ington and part of California. Radio Links Forces The radio school conduoted by Peterson and Jeas haa 13 combination sending and receiving portable field sets. The compact set adopted by the national forest service wss developed In region six by A. O. Slmson. It weight only 1714 pounds, can easily be carried Into rough country and set up by one man. The CCC enrollee students were, during the course of the school, aent to scattered points through the hills back of Wlmer and required to set up their outfit and get Into com munication with on another. The field radio man usually picks a spot where he can stretch hi aerial between two trees. K then seta up field desk so that he can take notes, plugs In his set and call for other radio men by the list of num bers furnished him. In the cose of the Siskiyou forest, the field set men would be under the direction of KB AM. the central Slaklyou station at orant pass. The lmporaance of the field radio men was strikingly demonstrated dur ing the critical days of fire line duty last year In Cooa county, with four to five thousand men broken up Into embattled units scattered through the primitive forests along the coast, the army and the forest service were concerned with the protection of the fighters, with whom they had to keep in constant toucn, as well a with the conduct of the campaign to save the forest. Clear Through OIIQ In that emergency, the radio men kept their unit In communication with the directors of unit movement. They gave Information to CHQ at Co- qullle and Oold Beach concerning the condition of the men and the pro gress of the fires In various sectors. They received orders from OHQ and transmitted them to the fighting unit. They handled messages con cerning food supplies, commissary itema and weather reports. The num Sherwood, secretary, and D 1 p h a I ntarlr rwitrj ! Mrs. Katie Orleve has been a "flu' patient at the Community hospital In Medford the past week. Union Sunday school held a party for the young people Wednesday eve ning at the Orange hall which was well attended. Boy Scout meeting will be held tonight at the Orange hall. It ha been decided -to organise camp fire group among the girls. A meeting to choose leaders will be held tonight. Mr. and Mrs. Newy Ooodlow of Roseburg were week-end guests of Mr. Ooodlowe's mother, Mrs. Ed Hol lenbeck at Red Blanket. Children In Mrs. Pellett's room at school gave a party today. Patch and Chat club met Friday afternoon with Mrs. Jsgger. AT EMPLOYES MEET ECHOES' STUDIED TO MAKE AIRPLANE PROPELLERS SAFE Then the propellers ars given 100 i hours endurance run on the actual engine, at 100 per cent rated horse power. After that, they take 10 hours endurance on the actual engine st the "flash" power approved for takeoff. At a meeting of over 150 Medford Corporation employes, held In the Oulld hall last evening. Roscoe G. Duthle, regional director for the weat her of Uvea they were Instrumental era wooden hw emr,.i ..... in saving will never be known, but i interesting report on progress being doubtless the fact that not a single lire iignter was lost In the great fire was due In part to their services. The fire Itself was the greatest emergency ever faced by region six and the need for msny additional radio men was clearly demonstrated. Hence, the school at Wlmer. Check Recruits Timekeepers, while not engaged in the spectacular work of delivering and receiving dispatches, are Just as important In the administrative di rection of fire fighting. It Is their business to check in the non-CCC men who have been recruited for ser vice on fires.- They check the con tract of the men, keep tab on them throughout their service and up to tne point mat they are delivered back to more peaceful pursuits. On them falls the vital paper work which change a mob of freshly recruited men into orderly, smooth working units. The school will close May 10 with graduation exercises for those who successfully complete the courses. Prospect PROSPECT, May 7. (Spl.) Pros pect Townaend club met April 37 at the Nelson Nye home.. The next meet ing will be held May 11. There will be a special meeting May 33 with a play and a guest speaker, Mrs. Nora Ivle of Oregon City. A picnic will be held May 33 in the Nye grove with Mrs. Ivle as the principal speaker. All Interested are most wel come. Prospect W. C. T. U. met May 1 at the home of the president, Mra. Leslie Dunnegan. An institute is planned for early In June at which the Josephine and Jackson county W. C. T. U. president will preside. The next meetl-v; will be held the afternoon of May 14 at Nelson Nye's. Everyone Interested Is invited. Mrs. Hope Clarke organized a Loyal Tempcranco Legion society for chil dren at the Nye home May 3. There were 10 charter members with Eu gene Dunnagan elected president: Letha Clarke, vice-president; Alleen made in the campaign. Due to exeellent result obtained by the employe committee working on the wooden box campaign lost year, Mr Duthle said that further support had been obtained from West ern Pine association In addition to that already contributed by the Na tional Wooden Box association. A similar campaign la also being start ed in eastern states. One man Is spending his entire time working with the potato growers snd shippers of the west to show them the advan tage of shipping graded potatoes In wooden boxes. Mr. Duthle said that store along the entire west coast were now dis playing the tag "Brand received In wooden boxes" on all product so re ceived. He urged all present to co operate with those shippers who were helping the payrolls of the commun ity, and buy their products shipped In wooden boxes. Beauty for Eskimo.

Ohio "Thl." said the Wright field aviation officer, ur. veylng the littered state of the con crete, cell-shaped room, "la far from being the healthiest of occupations." "This" referred to the rare occu pation of aircraft propellor testing. And to the fact that the Utter of the moment was chunk of concrete, of man-kllllng size. They hsd been knocked out of a bulging hole in one of the 10-lnch, steel-reinforced wall. The thing that hit the wall was a broken propellor blade. But the cause of It was a queer kind of "echo." a soundless vibration, which echoes along an engine crankshaft and pro pellor, building up what engineers csll resonance. Discovering this echo and how to get rid of It haa given American the safest propellors of any nation In the world and has caused the material division of the U. 8. army air corn to build here the most complete pro pellor testing laboratory In the world. The blade that broke was on an engine, running at full speed on a testing block outside the smashed wall. The engine -and propellor were getting acquainted. Both vibrate. Vi bration of both may be safe when separate. These two did not match. Their combined vibrations built up the fatal echo. One blade snapped at the hub. It tore the engine loose and tossed It Into space as smoothly as a giant shot putter. Thla kind of break si ways tears the engine out of a plane. It never gives warning. It I fatal in flight. Duplication of this kind of failure in service Is forestalled by the labo ratory. There are vibration analyzera and three tower, each two stories high. On the towers, like windmills. propellors ore mounted. They are the "whirl rigs." The whirling Is done with 30.000 horsepower of electricity. The vibration analyzera discover the deatructlve frequencies of the "echo" In the propellors. The props remove these frequencies from the operating range. On the whirl rlga, the propellers are given s 30-hour endurance run at double the rate horsepower of the aircraft engine for which they are de signed. Weather.
