workmen tore down, repaired or
rebuilt damaged buildings, sev

One of them, occurring on
August 21, would hava been
"catastrophic" if 1U epicenter
had been on land, according to
Prof G. E. Goodspeed of the
University of Washington's ge

Geologists and engineers
studying the April 13 quake hope
cities will adopt earthquake
proof building codes quicker
than did San Francisco and Los
Angeles.
"It took San Francisco 42 years

Professor Goodspeed says the
choice is between "building
earthquake-proof structures or
constructing one-story, widely
spaced buildings like Los An

plenty of room here."

City Council at
Rogue River Draws
Tentative Budget
Rogue River, April 13 At a
special meeting of the Rogue
River city council Monday night,
a tentative budget for the com
ing year was worked out. It will
now go to a committee of citi
zens, chosen at random from the
taxrolls, to be approved by them
before an election is held to rati
fy it.
The proposed budget for 1950
is conservative, being $1300 be
low the budget of 1949, and
$2300 lower than that of 1948.
Work Reviewed
In setting the amount needed
for the operation of the city gov
ernment in the coming year, arfl
for the proposed improvements,
the council reviewed the work
accomplished in the past year.
The street commission report
ed they graveled first and sec
ond and Broadway streets last
year, and they graded and oiled
most of the streets of the town.
They have put in approximately
1400 feet of curb along the
streets that were paved and the
ones that are to be paved in
1950. The paving, only, was paid
from PUC funds.
Three hundred feet of tile was
Installed in the drainage ditch
along the railroad tracks, thus
doing away with the unsanitary
condition due to flooding of the
streets and the two blocks be-,
tween the business district and
the railroad.
The water department report
ed purchase of a $1500 pump,
several meters and some sup
plies needed for repair of the
system, and installation of 1600
feet of two-inch pipe. The most
important accomplishment was
the retiring of - water bonds.
They stated, besides paying the
two regular $500 bonds due last
year, they have paid two that
were neglected by the past ad
ministration. Making four bonds
paid in the past year, and they
now have enough'money on hand
to pay for the water meters or
dered last week.
Plans were made to install
meters for all water users with
in the next 90 days, thus plac
ing all water users on equal rates
during the garden season. Mini
mum rate of $2.50 for the first
400 feet will remain the same,
but all water over the minimum
will cost half the previous rate.
It will now be 10 cents a 100
feet or fraction thereof, with the
regular 10 per cent reduction if
paid within 10 days.
"We are not attempting to
build up a large water fund," ex
plained Mayor Denglar, "but we
believe the meters will conserve
water by helping the users find
any leaks that may develop in
their pipes and at the same time
each one will be paying their
fair share of the cost of main
taining the water system. When
the water bonds are all retired
it will be possible to further re
duce rates. The faster we can re
tire them the better for every
on of us. and the metprs place
the water department on a syste
matic business basis."

Science
By Paul F. Ellis
United Press Science Editor
New York, Apr. 13 (U.R) A
new "task force" has gone into
action in the battle against can
cer. '
It is a group of scientists who
specialize in studying the effects
of hormones on abnormal growth
and they have received the lion's
share of research funds from the
American Cancer society.
The society, in making its an
nual report, said "spectacular
developments" in the hormone
field led the society and the Na
tional Research council's com
mittee on growth to give a green
light to hormone specialists.
Encouraging Results
In discussing the work of the
"hormone task force," the com
mittee said:
"It is too early to make even
a preliminary statement regard
ing the role of cortisone or Acth
in the treatment of cancer. While
encouraging results have been
reported, on the basis of present
evidence there is little reason to
think that these hormones will
have a specific thereapeutic ef
fect in cancer.
"However, their actions seem
to be so inextricably Interwoven
in the most fundamental proc
esses of body metabolism that
one cannot conceive their being
without significance in cancer
and many other diseases.
"Progress has been slow be
cause of the difficulty of prepar
ing the substance in adequate
amounts. Here it may be pointed
out that clinical investigation of
a new drug always is limited un:
less the drug showing promise is
available in nature in abundance
or until chemists can synthesize
the compound in a mnner per
mitting its mass production.
"In neither case is this true of
Acth or of cortisone. In October,
1949, for example, the month's
total of cortisone was little more
than a fifth of one pound."
Advances During Year
In addition to the develop
ments in hormones, the commit
tee listed the following "note
worthy" advances during last
year on the cancer front:
1. New evidence relating to
changes in blood serum of cancer
patients, opening up the possible
development of a practical test
for cancer.
2. Evaluation of anti-follc acid
compounds as a treatment of
definite but limited benefit in
