FOUR MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE American Program Toward Harnessing Atom Power Making Rapid Progress Br Ptui r. Euii New York, Feb. 11 (U.R) Th United States Droeram to- uirH harnessine the atom for power is making rapid progress and before the end of the year the first pilot plants may be in operation. They will be pilot plants that ultimately will lead to atomic neines for electricity and for propulsion of ships or airplanes. Out Of Blue-Print They are definitely out of the blue-print stage, and detailed engineering design of ship pro pulsion reactor is scheduled to begin this year. In addition, preliminary con struction of an experimental breeder reactor in Idaho from which a small amount of useful power is expected as a by-product is scheduled to be com pleted by the end of the year. Progress of the American pro gram to obtain atomic power is reported in the seventh semi-annual report of the atomic energy commission. Four Major Projects The commission's report tells of four major reactor projects, all of which pertain to atomic power in one way or another. Late last year, preliminary construction started on the ex perimental breeder reactor In Idaho. Work is scheduled to be eompleted by the end of 1950. "This is a reactor," the report points out, "designed to test the feasibility of transmuting non fissionable material into fission able material in the .'breeding' process that produces more fis sionable material than it con sumes." ... Fissionable material is an ele ment, such as plutonlum, that will undergo fission, or a split ting of the atoms in a cnain re action. , , In the Pittsburgh area, actual rnnstruntlon of a reactor testing station for a material testing re actor Is expected to start tnis spring. The commission points out that the reactor's primary purpose will be to provide fact- amounts of electric power by using neutrons, neutral electrical particles of the atom, in the im mediate energy range while breeding fissionable material at the same time. The commission reported that research and development work for a land-based prototype of a reactor for submarine or ship propulsion "is well advanced, and that detailed engineering de sign of a ship propulsion reactor is scheduled to 1950. begin during Jury List may be used In future reactor construction. The commission reported that a complete engineer design is now being drawn up for the im mediate power-breeder reactor, which will be built at West Mil ton, N.Y. The Intermediate power-breeder is designed to explore the pos sibility of producing significant Business English Class Starts Monday Robert Stedman of the senior high school faculty will instruct a class in business English on Tuesdays, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. In room 44 at Medford senior high school. Any adult may reg ister for this course at any regu lar meeting of the class during the next few weeks, according to Elliott Becken, assistant school superintendent. The class is designed to review usage and grammar which would arise in business and is intended to bring proper speech and com- fiosltlon to the individual who ins been out of school for some time. A pre-test was given the open ing night enrollment on Febru ary 8. On this basis certain areas of study were selected by the adult group. Study will Include pronoun and verb usage as they apply to business correspondence, spell ing of commonly used words and business terms, vocabulary de velopment and word division. Business correspondence by let ter, telegraph and telephone will be taught. Stedman will give much at tention to individual needs. 20 BUS PASSENGERS DIE Tokyo, Feb. 1 1 (U.R) Twenty passengers were killed today when a bus skidded on a muddy highway near Matsuo, Kyushu, and careened off the road Into a fish pond.

Western THR.IFT PHARMACY MKIIKIIHll, (IRK1IIN SI N. Central, 1'hone 1-1114 The sophomore class gave a dance in the girls' gymnasium after the home basketball game wiin Jioseburg, February 4. Pro ceeds from the dance will be used to boost the treasury for next year's prom. The motif was valentines day with red and white hearts on the walls and a valentine lady on the south wall. Square dancing has been fea tured in vk. classes on Wednes days, Thursdays and Fridays in recent weeks. Some of the dunces learned are "Take a Little Peek," "The Elbow Swing," "Dive for the Oyster, "Oklahoma Mixer' and several variations of the sehottische. Enthusiastic students come in from study halls to dance in sDite of the fact that street shoes are not allowed on the gymnasium floor. Students without tennis shoes dance in their stockine ieet. Beginning February 15, the fundamentals of ballroom danc ing will be taught. The purpose of this rhythmic program is lo develop grace, co ordination and good posture, ac cording to Lee Ragsdale, head of the PE department. Future Homemakers of Amer ica sponsored a girls' date dance In the girls' gymnasium after the Eagle Point game Friday, February 11. Corinne Wing was chairman of the dance commit tee. Other committee chairmen Included Virgee St. Clair, dec orations: Astrid Adams, conces sions; Donna Mulliu, publicity; Irene Williams, tickets; Janet Abbott, program; Martha Loi land, clean-up. A patriotic theme was used and decorations were in red, white and blue. A lecture on "The Cyclops of Palomar" was presented to the students Monday morning by Robert Edgar of the National School assemblies. The lecture dealt with the great 200-inch Palomar telescope which has Washington, Feb. II (U.R) Burley Bowler, a watch-maker by trade, got into the news paper Business and politics by accident. Take them one at a time. In 1914 watch makers floated from town to town. Bowler finally landed in Flaxville, Mont. He rap ped on a door that said "Rooms Ren t." The Uarman Nichou landlady show ed him a clean room and told him that he had a roommate. For about 10 days he did the town at night and came back to find his roommate asleep. Each day, when Bowler awakened, the roommate would be gone. Finally, he asked the landlady who his roommate was.. She di rected him to the local papers and the editor. He went there and introduced himself. "You must be my roommate," Bowler said. The fellow lifted a brow and asked: "Looking for a job? Burley sure was. Put On Bluff He didn't know a type box from an alley cat, but he put on a bluff and a type-setter's apron. In a week or so he had learned to set type by hand and became assistant to Eddie Robison, his editor and roommate. Three weeks after Bowler got (ho inh hp cot a call from the head man who told him Eddie had broken a leg. Could Bowler take over? He did. Today he owns the Daniels County Leader in Mon tana. It doesn't keep his family in chinchilla, but he eats regu larly. Right now, Mowler's son, Lar ry, is running the property and daddy is in Washington, acting as secretary to Sen. Zales Ecton, R., Mont. I asked him if he went after the Washington assignment or if the assignment went after him? Another Accident "I didn't ask for it that was another accident. The senator asked me if I would like to ride along with him to Washington and here I am." Burley Bowler is too new on the Washington scene to turn loose with any comments. He would rather look back across his years as a country editor. In the old days, he says, the weekly editor used to trade a turkey, a mother hen, some but ter, eggs or most anything for a year's subscription to the paper. Gambled And Won "When I was a foolish young man I once gambled and won. A man offered me a bushel of wheat for a subscription. After he left I looked at the paper and found that a bushel of that stuff was worth 32 cents. A subscrip tion was worth 50 cents for a year at the time." Burley charged that off to bad business and put the wheat back there under the flat-bed press. "I forgot about it for several For! months," he said. "And then I happened to look at the bushel and the market page about the same time. I sold the wheat for $1.25. Burley Bowler likes the big town. "But we miss the grandchil dren, the quiet of the small town and press day on the weekly," he said, Evangelist Topics Announced tor Week G.

While the girls continue senior scouting and service work, they are pri marily interested in aviation. The group has been named the "Airharts" with Berte Hampson as leader or "pilot," Nancy Jen nings, president or co-pilot, Roma Liddell as secretary-treasurer or dispatcher-purser. The unit is the only one of its kind in the valley. The group meeting Monday night, February 13, will have as its speaker, Robert Forbes, pilot at Piercy field, who will give a general informative speech on aviation. The troop is off to a "flying" start with happy flights ahead. There is room aboard for a few more "cadets," interested for mer scouts of high school age. Those interested may contact Berte Hampson at 2-9117. Berte Hampson, pilot. Salem, Ore., Feb. 1 1 (U.R) Gov. Douglas McKay Friday ap pointed John K.

Palomar in southern California within the past year. Mr. Edgar used scale models of the telescope to illustrate his lecture. The talk had to be de livered without the aid of a mi crophone since the school's pub lic address system was not working. A neD assembly was held Fri day afternoon in the boys' gym nasium in preparation for the basketball game between the Tigers and the Eagle Point team. The traditional assemoiy sku featured a three-man team bas ketball game between the "Red heads' 'and the "combined forc es" of Eagle Point and Klamath Falls. Bettv Curtis and Billie Older, students, and Yvonne I Keith, girls' PE instructor, were the Redheads and Fred Johnson, Doug Griffith and Don Mathias composed the other team. Max Peirce was referee. Several band numbers were played. including "Slipping i Around which was dedicated to Ted Rtibensteln, a former band member. The alma mater and On Medford were also given. The traditional competition yell between classes was won by the sophomores. O HOME TOWN NEWS O If we could wrap our heating systems In a heart box, we're lure that everyone would want a box from WM.
