LACK OF INCENTIVE CHOKES OFF PRODUCTION OF METALS IN STATE; COUNTY MINE DEVELOPMENT CITED Production of non-metallics characterized the mining indus try in Oregon in 1949, according to the latest edition of The Ore Bin, a publication of the state department of geology and min eral industries. In an article called "A Review of Oregon Mining in 1949", F. W. Libbey, director of the de partment, says metal mining continues to decline because the profit incentive required to find and develop mines is almost completely lacking. Last year there was a further falling off in metal mining in the state when the Bonanza quicksilver mine in Douglas county closed down late in the year. Local Plant Operates The relatively high rate of production of non-metallics in 1948 was continued, Libbey wrote, with the three portland cement plants at Oswego, Lime in Baker county, and at Gold Hill operating at capacity throughout the year.

The output was used for poultry grit and foun- ury luriiuce umngs. Reporting on exploratory operations, in this part of the state Libbey said development worn was undertaken m the area of the historic Gold Hill "pocket" where a lenticular body of molybdenite was uncov ered in bulldozing. A nickel de posit at the Shamrock mine in nortnern Jackson county was explored on the surface and bv underground work by the Unit ed States bureau of mines. The bureau s work at this property was a continuation of work started in 1948 following an in vestigation by the state depart ment of geology and mineral in dustries. Ore there is said to con s i s t of pyrrhotite carrying nicKei, copper ana a small quan tity of cobalt. Early in 1949 scheelite was found in the granite area near Ashland. Two shipments of the ore were made to a tungsten con centrating mill in California. Libbey said his department is making an . investigation of the area including topographic and geologic mapping designed to ob tain a structural pattern of the occurrences in order to assist prospecting. Oil prospecting was carried on during 1949 in the Harney val ley near Burns where Weed and Poteet No. 1 was drilled by the United Company of Oregon, Medford firm, to a depth of 6,480 feet and abandoned. A fire destroyed equipment at this test early in December, 1949. Previously the United company had drilled to a depth of 4.500 feet in Fay No. 1 and suspended drilling in favor of the Weed and Poteet No. 1. Commenting on Oregon's wan ing gold mining industry, Libbey says there are only a lew rem nants of what was once the backbone of the state's metal production. He said the' decline was caused partly by the ill et- fects of the war production board order which closed gold operations down without re course in 1942, and partly by the fixed price of gold in relation to the low value of the dollar meas ured by what it will buy in labor and supplies. Christian University in Japan Goal of Local Committee's Drive Declaring that "a friendly, democratic Japan is of vital im portance to the people of the united states and Canada, a local committee reported yester day how they will launch a building fund campaign here this month to raise funds for an In ternational Christian university at Tokyo, Japan. The fund drive, in which young people will figure prom inently, has as its goal $10 mil lion to complete the project which is already well underway. The local campaign is headed by Mrs. Harlan P. Bosworth, and by Dr. Bert Elliott who will serve as co-chairman. During the time that Dr. Elliott is abroad, Mrs. Bosworth will actively head the local drive, set for the week of April 16-23. George P. Goodman Jr., a Medford high school senior, and Miss Earlene Rogers, Medford, who is attending Southern Ore gon college, will act as youth co-chairmen. Others on the local committee are: Mrs. W. T. Frost, George Flanagan, Robert Dames, Mrs. Victor Birdseye, the Rev. George R. V. Bolster, the Rev. Holly Jarvis, the Rev. Meredith READY MIXED CONCRETE "or Uniformity and tndurinof Strength or ew City Park Sent In By Residents; Completion Near Residents of Medford and vi cinity will be polled to deter mine a name for the new city park just east of Bear creek. The name selection method has been announced by the park ad visory committee appointed last week by Mayor Diamond Flynn. L. J. Cox, chairman of the ad visory group, said yesterday that voting will commence on Mon- New City Park Name Ballot (Note: Voting open to residents of Medford and vicinity. Submit ballot between April 3 and midnight, April 12 to Park Name Poll. City Hall, Medford. Ore. Winning name io be se lected by park advisory committee and approved by city council.) My choice Park Name.. Address.. day, April 3, and continue until midnight Wednesday, April 12. Suggestions will be judged and the winning name picked by the committee with their choice to be approved by the city coun cil. Not A Contest Cox pointed out that the park name poll is not a contest. No prizes are planned. However, some sort of recognition, yet to be decided, will be made for the winning choice. It is probable that a number of people will suggest the name judged best by the committee, Cox stated. Ballot forms are being pub lished in Medford newspapers, the first appearing in the Mail Tribune today. Ballots are to be mailed to Park Name Poll, City Hall. Medford, Ore. With the completion of most facilities, particularly the swim ming pool, this spring, Medford's newest park is expected to to be come a center of recreation and celebration activities of the com munity. To celebrate this latest public recreational development, city officials are contemplating gay dedication ceremonies. Celebration Planned The ask of planning the dedi cation has been placed in the hands of the advisory commit tee, Cox, Mrs. Richard Payne, Victor Milnes, James Dunlevy and Darell Huson. Actual date of the ceremonies probably will depend on advance weather fore- A. Groves and Elliott Becken. Cooperating are Elwood Hed berg and Robert Templeton. In a statement just released, the committee says that if Japan is to achieve democracy, it must have a new type of education which fosters independent think ing to replace the authoritarian teaching of the past. ICU is plan ned to provide leadership in that direction. The ultimate goal is a comprehensive university with graduate schools in the most im portant fields of knowledge and professional education. The im mediate purpose is to establish those programs most urgently needed that can be adequately supported financially. Japan's most crucial needs are for highly trained leaders in three fields of public service: education, public administration and social service. Therefore, the committee said, the univer sity plans to begin with the es tablishment of three graduate schools of professional caliber to meet these needs and a four year under-graduate college of liberal arts. The Japanese themselves have already demonstrated their ap proval of the project. Under the chairmanship of Hisato Ichi mada, governor of the Bank of Japan, a fund-raising campaign, produced a total of 154 million yen (more than $420,000 Ameri can.) Ninety-five per cent of the contributors were non-Christians but their reason for giving was probably something like Ichi mada's: "I am not a Christian. However, I have come to the con clusion that nothing but a Chris tian philosophy underlying Jap an's democracy will ever put us through." The funds raised In Japan have made possible the purchase of a 350-acre property at Mitaka, 17 miles northwest of Tokyo. A number of buildings included in the purchase will be suitable, after remodelling, for class rooms and other educational purposes. Additional funds totaling $1,100,000 have been contribut ed by American and Canadian church boards. The $10 million is now being sought in nation wide appeals in the United States and Canada to provide the additional buildings, equip ment and endowment needed to establish the first units of the university.

Sunday, June 4, Is the tentative day set. Mayor Flynn has set May 1 as deadline for completion of a number of park projects. A 17-acre area, the new park stretching between Jackson and Main streets is the former Olds tract. Before it was acquired by the city, it occasionally served as a circus and carnival grounds. The old P and E railroad depot once stood on the property. In December 1944 a group of 22 firms and individuals made contributions of $250 to $1,500, totaling $20,000 with which the tract was purchased and donated to the city. The deed was rec orded in June 1945. With ac quisition of the property, the city gained a place to construct the swimming pool for which special levies amounting to $62,- Customs of 'Good Old Days7 Revealed In Reading Two 19th Century Papers War and peace, common sub jects of today's newspapers and radio commentators, were no less common in the "good old days." At least so it would seem, in a glance at "Fireside Rev eries," published in Rochester, N. Y., June 1894, and described as "devoted to choice home lit erature and miscellany." A front-page drawing shows "Three European Rulers, emper ors of Russia, Austria and Ger many, arbiters of peace or war in Europe." The three rulers appear to be pondering the prob lem on paper much the same as in photographs of today's "ar biters." Delinquency Problem Juvenile delinquency was evi dently a problem then too, for three pages are devoted in mu sic and lyrics to "Since Kitty Went Away," telling the story of a wayward daugher who left "the dear old homestead." A copy of "The Household Companion," published January 1880, includes an article on the history of coffee, staling "This little brown berry was unknown two hundred years agq, or only used by uncivilized Abysinnians but now all through the East coffee is considered quite as in dispensable as the pipe, and throughout Europe and our own country it is classed among the necessaries of life, sought for and, as far as possible, used, by rich and poor. Literary people and men of business have learned to feel they cannot enter upon their morning labors until they have braced themselves up with a cup of coffee. The whole social life in many nations seems based upon this insignificant bean." Floweri Banished Under horticultural hints it states, "Not many years ago window gardening seemed uni versally popular. Then came all sorts of heaters, furnaces and il luminating gas instead of the good old-fashioned open fires, grates and candles, and the pret ty room flowers were banished to houses of those in moderate circumstances." Several pages are devoted to the ever-popular subjects among women, domestic hints and fash ions. Of particular interest is a recipe for marrow pudding: Grate a large loaf of bread and pour on the crumbs a pint of rich milk, boiling hot. When cold, add four eggs, a pound of beef marrow sliced thin, with sugar and nutmeg to your taste. Mix well together and bake it. When done, stick slices of citron on the top. You may have a boiled pudding of this if you prefer. "New Stylet" In mid-winter millinery, the toque is described as the newest shape in head-gear.. "It is a close cap shape with visor both back and front and may be worn as a bonnet with strings or as a hat. Birds of brilliant plumage and dainty ostrich tips form its handsomest garnitures, although elegant ribbons, bugs, brazilian beetles and insects of various sizes and sheeny effects are sometimes observable on them. A handsome street costume for J milady is labeled "Ladies' demi-1 trained toilette," and features 1 drapes with bustle effect and j swishing train.

Bonds Issued A bond issue of $75,000 was voted last spring for completion of the swimming and wading pools, pool building and other park facilities. Negotiations and other delays consumed considerable time in the pool project. The first bids asked were too high. Negotia tions with another firm did not work out. Construction was then undertaken by the city itself but levy funds were not ample. The Lions club pitched In with its Sleepy Hour contest and the Junior Service league donated a diving board. Then city officials called for the additional bond issue and N. K. Porter was con tracted to erect the pool build ing. Now city officials and Med ford visitors feel that the pool facility will compare with the best on the coast. Facilities Near Finish Seeding of the lawn areas Is scheduled to be finished by the May 1 deadline with the section at the rforth end possibly ready for sand lot games. Park light ing and two restrooms are ready. Playground equipment provided by Kiwanians was in use last summer. Since the planting of the first lawn and installation of play ground equipment, the park has had much use. Even greater use is anticipated next summer.

HELD OVER! xmMsMm "UNDER CAPRICORN" i b, Ttcwmcoi.o mm 3 ESI innnmn Gene KELLY MBJ'i Frank SINATRA ' Sunder. Apr CI 1, 1950 Science By Paul F. Ellis United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) A potential new tuberculosis killer a German-developed drug known as TB-1 is now being given hu man trials In the United States. It may be months before the trials are evaluated. The effectiveness of the drug on German patients is reviewed in the current issue of the Am erican Review of Tuberculosis, journal of the American Tru deau Society, medical section of the National Tuberculosis Asso ciation. The reports are based on the experience of the drug in Ger many, and in some respects are optimistic, but also nave some disturbing facts. Drug Seen es Helper Drs. Anton Mertens and Rolf Bunge. reporting in clinical find ings with the new drug, said in the Review tnat me arug is nui effective in the two most severe forms of tuberculosis military and meninceal nor have re sults proved promising m chronic, advanced cases of pul monary tuberculosis. The most encouraging results, they said are found in tuberculosis of mucous membranes, such as of the larynx and intestines. The doctors said that TB 1 used with streptomycin, and para-amino-salicylic acid, known as PAS, may have great value in the treatment of tuberculosis. "The uosib 1 1 es of an intelli gent combination of these agents become obvious," they reported. Good ReDorts Two American experts, Drs. H. Corwin Hinshaw, formerly of the Mayo Clinic and now of San Francisco, and Walsh McDer mott, of the Cornell Medical Colleee in New York City, re cently returned from Germany where thev studied clinical re sults of the drug. They reviewea about 2,000 cases, and said that TB 1 is "considerably less effec tive than streDtomvcm in treat- ine tuberculosis and might be compared in efficacy with PAS, but that it is more toxic than PAS. Hnwover. the American doc tors believe that TB 1 will have a place in the treatment of iiihorriilnsis. and that the drug mav delav development of strains of the t.b. germ resistant to streptomycin. They said that while TB 1 may nrnvp nn important addition to the currently available drugs, it will not replace streptomycin but may serve as a helper. Both doctors urged that final evaluation of the drug be wun held until both experimental and clinical studies cen be carried on in this country.
