Gala Opening at Rogue River Lodge Will Lure Throng Advance registrations today indicated a large attendance at the summer opening of Rogue River lodge, the popular resort on the breeze-cooled banks of the sparkling Rogue river near Trail, next Saturday evening. Dining and dancing in the spacious lodge will be pleasant diversions as a climax to the celebration of Flag day, the man agement has pointed out. Abbie Green, with his piano end "solovox" will be featured. The "solovox" is an attachment that gives the piano such son ority as to stimulate an orches tra. Green is well known here, having at one time led an or chestra, the "Nite Hawks," a dance band of versatile Univer sity of Oregon students, in Med ford.

San Francisco (U.P5 Blondes will have an opportunity to play a fat greater role than brunettes in building up the army weather i service to meet the demands of the new national defense pro gram, according to weather bu reau officials. This favoritism, they explain, comes from the fact that blonde hairs are far superior to bru nette strands for the radiosondes that are sent into the strato sphere by small balloons to re cord weather data and wireless the reading to the ground. The hairs are used in recording hu midity. While no scientific explana tion for this phenomenon has been found, the superiority is so great that only blonde hairs will be used in the program, which includes the establishing of 700 weather stations on behalf of the army and a greater exten sion of the regular U. S. weather service. Eighteen blonde hairs are needed in each radiosonde for the humidity recorder. As the transporting balloon usually blows up and the transmitter parachutes to the ground, many are lost or the hairs ruined in landing. Hence, weather bureau officials predict a heavy demand for blond hairs (or the next few years. Development of the weather service of the government and the army, weather bureau and army officials explain, is made necessary by the new national defense program and especially that for the aviation branch. The air corps' army of me teorologists, they point out, will work in much the same role as diplomatic emissaries gaging the mood of the temperamental mo gul of the weather for the day and giving the all-clear or stay down signals which make (lying safe. The calculations of the army's new corps of meteorologists will be based on the equivalent of six years of study, beginning with four years of university training and topped with a stiff two-year course in meteorology at a private school or a similar but (aster course at on of the air corps' two meteorological schools. Each station will receive (our reports a day, which will be re corded on four surface synotic maps, which give information on wind speed, wind direction, 4 clouds, ceiling, visibility, tern- ' perature and dew point, baro metric tendencies and whatever other weather conditions exist CI oil nc time for Too Late to cla.
