Newspaper Page TextE 'The Desert Song" Here Sunday MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, June 21. 1944 THREE OPEN PART TIME STARTING JULY 1 Beginning July 1 the Mar Kade, recreation center for ser vicemen at St. Mark's Episcopal church on North Oakdale ave nue, will be operated on '. part time basis by the church, it was announced today by the Rev. George R. Turney, rector. The change '.n operation was decided upon at a meeting of St. Mark's vestrj held Sunday. For the past year the Mar Kade , has been operated ; with funds derived partly from fed eral sources through the Jack son County Recreation commit tee and partly with funds from the national Episcopal church. According to the Rev. Turney, the decision to take over opera tion of the center was brought about by the reduced need for recreation facilities for service men. Mrs. Ruth Boyd, who replaced Mrs. Harry Hinman as director a short time ago, will continue as director of the center, it was stated. The Markade board will not disband but will be inactive for the time being, it was said. Mrs. Boyd stated that after July 1 it is planned to open the MarKade Wednesdays, from 5 until H p. fn., Thursdays from 5 to 10:30 p. m., Saturdays from 1 to 11:30 p. m. and Sundays from 12 noon until 10:30 p. m. Wednesdays and Saturdays will be dance nights, with general "open house" activities planned for Thursdays and Sundays. However, the change in dance nights will become effective next week, she stated.

The Chinese scientist, a gradu ate of Cornell university, where he received his doctorate degree in entomology in 1936, said euca lyptus either kills mosquito lar vae outright or prevent? their development into the pupa stage. Dr. Liu explained that while eucalyptus oil is highly volatile and remains on the water s sur face for only about 10 minuts, nese scientists who, despite war, inflation and China's muddied political waters, are carrying on their important work. Wording in a laboratory which was bombed out in pre-AVG days and has now been rebuilt with a straw roof and mud floor, Dr. Liu, his fellow professors and their students struggle with im provised equipment and limited funds to develop substitutes for vital materials no longer avail able. In creating his distillation process for obtaining oil from eucalyptus leaves Dr. Liu chose the most primitive of equipment in order to develop a process which could be simulated in ru ral areas.

An ordinance was adopted abolishing the city health de partment as of June 30, 1944, in view of the fact the county is maintaining a board of health which causes a duplication of effort and expense on the part of the city health department.
