The possibility of dumping in
the sewers has been ruled out.
Dyktor said, for fear of contami-
mating areas through which the
sewers pass.
It also seems the discarded iso
topes can't even be buried be
cause continued accumulation
might affect the. health of the
neighborhood.
Dyktor said the only thing left
was to consult the Atomic Ener
gy Commission for a solution.
Rebuilt Ice Cream
Cart Helps Traffic
Buffalo. N. Y. . (U.R) One of
the strangest sights on the Uni
versity of Buffalo campus is the
contraption Richard W. Bigelow
built to travel to and from school.
The conveyance resulted from
a boost in transit fares in the
city. Bigelow figured there must
be a cheaper way to get around.
The 23 -year -old engineering
student bought a used ice cream
scooter, patched up its worn-out
electrical system and built
around it a bad-weather protec
tion made of steel, aluminum,
wood, canvas and equipped with
safety glass for the windshield.
Bigelow figures that the 20
cents worth of gasoline he buys
every three days amounts to
only a third of the transit fares
he would have had to pay in a
similar period.

County Red Cross
Conference Host
Here Last Week
The Jackson County Red Cross
chapter was host to a four-county
conference at an all day meeting
here last week. Veterans claims
were discussed and Interpreted,
with Max Novak. Red Cross field
director from the regional vete
rans administration office, Port
land presiding. Also present was
Miss Catherine Little, regional
home service consultant for the
northwest area.
The conference was attended
by representatives from Jackson,
Josephine, Douglas and Klamath
counties, as well as volunteer so
cial service aides from the local
office.
Novak said there are approxi
mately 232.000 veterans In Ore
gon, with some e.zoo in Jackson
county. On a national basis only
80 per cent of these men have
filed claims for any government
benefit, he said, and the peak as
sistance need for World War I
veterans is anticipated in three
or four years. As these men grow
older, less able to find employ
ment and become more subject to
illness, applications to VA hos
pitals and domiciliary centers in
crease. The peak of assistance to
World War II veterans is expect
ed in 1975. Of the total veterans
claims filed. 20 per cent have
been handled by Red Cross, he
said.
GI Bill Expires
Novak reminded that the GI
educational benefit act will ex
pire next year. It will be neces
sary for veterans to have regis
tered and to have been working
in school before July 20, 1951,
in order to continue education.
On the other hand, rehabilitation
training will not expire on this
date: however training or re
training under rehabilitation re
quires an adjudged disability of
10 per cent or more. Novak said.
The regular GI educational act
requires no degree of disability.
I two other Hems were reporl
; ed by Novak. They were the fact
that time has been extended dur
ing which former prisoners of
war may report personal or prop
erty losses under the war claims
act, and eligibility time for ter
minal leave pav has been extend
ed to June' 30, 1951. The local
Red Cross office has necessary
forms for application on both
these items, it was reported.
All VA hospitals had an 84
per cent occupancy in 1949. No
vak said a rate far in excess of
army, navy or other public hos-
Kitals. and he said the veterans
ospitalizatlon need is still grow
ing. He said that In these hos
pitals, top-ranking specialists as
sist in diagnosis and treatment
of illness.

Espee Train Strikes Man Near Ament Dam
Sound Waves Tried
In War on Cancer
Cleveland, O. UR) The same
principle that you can use to
call your dog without disturbing
the neighbors may prove a wea
pon against cancer.
Scientists at the Rand Founda
tion in Cleveland are experi
menting with the use of high
pitched sound to kill or slow
down the growth of cancerous
tissue.
Equipment now in the Rand
laboratory can batter the tissue
at 1.000.000 limes a second. The
scientists hope to raise the figure
to 3.000.000 times a second.
