t MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1942. PAGE FIVE c TALKED AT MEET Oregon Manager of Office of Defense Transportation Here For Consultation. Office of Defense Transporta tion general orders and amend ments, designed to conserve tires and equipment during the war, while at the same time render ing the best possible service to the public, were thoroughly ex plained to southern Oregon per sons engaged in the motor trans port industry at three meetings held yesterday in the Jackson county courthouse auditorium. Herman O. Sites, Oregon man ager of the Office of Defense Transportation, conducted a gen eral (meeting last night which was attended by all types of carriers, shippers and agricul tural interests. Commenting on the available equipment and parts to meet transportation needs, he stated that equipment now on the road must last for the duration of the war, and urged the utmost cooperation in the conservation program. He said the tire stock and crude rubber outlook was very black, and explained that one of the ODT orders directed the elimination of circuitous routes in order to reduce tire mileage. PUC Part Told Russell Pratt of the Oregon Public Utilities commission ex plained the PUC's responsibility in the program and the need for conservation of rubber and equipment. One of the main speakers of the evening was Tom . Shea, manager of the Oregon Motor Transport association, who point ed out the reasons for closer cooperation among all groups, industries and businesses in carrying out the conservation program. He told of the need of group planning and cited the accomplishments and objectives of the association. I n d u s t r y's responsibilities. methods and means of accom plishing the program and the future outlook were the subjects of a talk by Edward J. Barry, general manager of the Pacific Inland Tariff bureau and direct ing manager ot the Pacific Northwest ODT motor transport committee. A. C. Pierce of Pierce Auto Freight Lines, a director of the Oregon Motor Transport associ- ation in this area, and Barry and Shea conducted the first after noon meeting, attended by for- hire carriers. ODT general or ders were explained and dis cussed. Following this meeting farm groups, dairies, etc., were repre sented at a meeting conducted by Herman O. Sites and A. W. Metzger of the Oregon state department of agriculture. PICKERS NEEDED Pendleton, Ore., July 16. UP) Umatilla county's acute labor shortage became more serious today as a call for 500 tomato pickers in the Milton-Freewater district was issued by federal employment officials. A 40 per cent increase in acreage over last year has boosted the need for additional workers. The United States is the sec ond largest wool-growing coun try in the world. The cost of producing auto matic guns has been reduced 40 per cent in the last two years. fatoA toaM.ii'a' mmm i ,-, . ..aw STOCKING SUBSTITUT E-Mary Ellen Gould of Bos ton ihowa how a cosmetic stick substitutes for silk hosiery, and while dolnr so wears "stockincs" of the same kind she is applyln to the leri of the mannekins at right and left. .Ul.

LIKES KISS SCENE By Ernest Foster ...V. P. Staff Correspondent Hollywood U.R) Jack Ben ny smacked his lips. His eyes had that cat-that-atethe-canary look. "You know." he said, "this movie work isn't so bad, after all." Benny had just finished a 60 minute kissing session with Ann Sheridan for a scene in Warner Bros- "George Washington Slept Here." The kissing scene won't, of course, last anywhere near 60 minutes on the screen, but including rehearsal time, Benny and Miss Sheridan spent about an hour in each other's arms. He had prepared for the work-out by questioning Ann as to her performance in amatory technique. "Should I," he asked, "use the Flynn approach and sweep you off your feet with the rough gallantry of a swashbuckler? Or maybe you'd rather I'd be tender and irresistible, with a Gaelic flavor to my embraces, like Charles Boyer? Wants Bonny Approach "On the other hand, there's the eager-youth technique, em ployed most successfully by the younger leading men. Or there's the wistful style of Tyrone Pow er or the woody, outdoor style of John Wayne. Just what kind do you prefer. Miss Sheridan? "Well, as far as I'm concern ed." the actress answered. "since you are doing it. you may as well be original and use the Benny approach, whaever that is." With the side line coaching of Director William Keighley and RELIEF A I D-CoL C. T. H.

Was Worth It "Just think of all the young men and old ones, too who would give their right front au to tire to be in my shoes for this scene," Benny commented. Look at me, the phooie boy making love to the oomph girl." Afterward, questioned as to what she thought best described the Benny kiss technique, Miss Sheridan hesitated a moment, thn said: 'Well, I'd say it was the kind of composite kiss you might get from Groucho Marx, Fred Al len, the Ritz Brothers and Skin- nay Ennis." As for Benny, a slightly wor ried expression crept into his face as he muttered: "I don't know what Mary will say, but it was worth it." Mason, Mich. (U.R) Two years ago Drs. Wilhelmina rrances Dunning and Maynie Rose Cur tis collaborated on an article en titled "Transplantable- Lympho Sarcomata of the Mesenteris Lymph Nodes of Rats" for the American Journal of Cancer. Not a very inviting introduc tion to the professors who. are spending all their spare time fighting one of the medical pro fession's most baffling enemies but it helps show how far they're willing to go. Miss Dunning, an instructor in pathology at Wayne univer sity in Detroit, and Miss Curtis maintain a plain, little-publicized farmhouse six miles south east of here. That is, it looks plain but inside is one of the best equipped cancer labora tories in the state. Rasoarch Abandoned There the two former faculty workers from Columbia univer sity in New York work hours on end. Tomes of scientific works and notes on their own work line the book shelves, and the air-conditioned basement holds cages for 1,200 rata of all descriptions. Most of the women s work in cancer study has been done at Columbia Institute for Cancer Research, where Miss Curtis spent 24 years and Miss Dun ning 11. However, they were forced to give up their study there when the Crocker Insti tute of Cancer Research, which sponsored their work, was dis solved. Miss Dunning and Miss Cur tis then decided they would transfer their laboratory and equipment, lock, stock and rat rages to the pioneer homestead that was Miss Curtis' birth place. They had the centuries old house renovated with air conditioning, asbestos siding and steel roofing. Aid Project Both Miss Dunning and Miss Curtis have Ph.D. degrees; Miss Dunning received her degree at Columbia in 1928 and Miss Cur tis at the University of Michi gan in 1013. Miss Curtis served from 1908 to 1917 as as sistant biologist at the Maine experimental station before be ginning her work at Columbia. The women carry on their work largely with cooperation of Wayne university officials and by means of financial aid given by interested private citi zens. So far they have uncovered nothing sensational about the disease they have made their life study. But they figun and they're probably right that they have as much of a chance as anyone else of stum bling on a solution to the cancer enigma.

CONCRETE ALL IN Sacramento, Cal. (U.R) Con crete pouring is complete on Friant dam, fourth largest struc ture of its kind in the world and an important cog in Cali fornia's huge Central Valleys Project. A total of 2,130,480 cubic yards of concrete went into the project, which dams 920,000 acre feet of water to be used as a cushion for seasonal high water originating in the upper San Joaquin river and for irri gation in central California counties. Rising 320 feet above itj base. is 3,430 feet long at The base is 265 feet the dam its crest. wide. Although concrete pouring has stopped, work on the structure is not yet complete, according to District Engineer R. S. Cal land of the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation. Work will con tinue for some weeks on in stallation and painting of metal work, backfill and clean-up operations. Another several months will be required for drilling of grout holes in the dam's foundation. The first bucket of concrete was poured at the structure July 29, 1940. During August, 1941, operations reached their peak when 228,769 cubic yards were placed. The dam is located about 20 miles from Fresno. It is a straight gravity structure and has four river outlets, four out lets into the Friant-Kern canal and two in the Madera canal.
