TWILT8 MEDrOBD (OHEOOW) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. June 25, 1930 0 and C Right of Way Regulations Defended, Attacked at Well-Attended Meeting Here Friday An audience of more than 100 loggers, sawmill operators and other woods industry members and guests heard a detailed de fense and explanation of import ant new O and C forest right-of-way regulations Friday night by Daniel L. Goldy, regional admin istrator of the bureau of land management. Goldy, addressing a gather ing sponsored by the Southern Oregon Conservation and Tree Farm association, told the lum bermen: Point. Cited (1) The regulations apply only to rights of way across O and C government owned, or "checker board" ownership lands; (2) There is no danger of operators who make agreements under the regulations becoming subject, on that agreement, to fu ture changes in regulations; (3) That the regulations do not apply if they are not needed to solve right-of-way problems if agreement between operators takes care 67 any questions which arise; (4) The regulations are more of a limitation of the authority of the government than they are upon the rights of operators; (5) They provide an equitable way of solving difficulties or disputes among operators with out taking them to court, at the same time reserving to the oper ator the right to court remedies, and (6) They provide the govern ment with the tools to protect public lands and to fulfill its obligation to negotiate mutual problems with industry mem bers. Interest Shows Importance The interest shown by lumber and forest men at the meeting was a reflection of the fact that more than one quarter of all the land within the entire Medford district (totaling 1,085,000 acres) la owned by the bureau of land management, most of which is administered by the O and C of fice here. Principal objection to Goldy's defense of the regulations was TOiced by Floyd Hart, president of Timber Products company here, a member of the state board of forestry, and a member of the state O and C advisory board which proposed the regulations, and the board's sub-committee which drew them up. Hart's ob jections made at the meeting were similar to those he express ed at a local advisory board meet ing Thursday. Disagreement Told Hart said, and reemphasized, that there was substantial dis agreement regarding their work ability by those drawing the reg ulations. He cited the difficulty of dealing with a government bu reau, and said the regulations were drawn in an "atmosphere of confusion," with many drafts and redrafts, each changed some what. "This problem is not as sim ple, as easy or as nice as has been pointed out tonight, Hart said. "I don't believe we have to submit to a government bu reau telling us how to run our business. And in the matter of appealing decisions (mentioned earlier by Goldy) we have to ap peal to the guy who appointed the guy who first said, 'no,' " he added. Cites Eminent Domain . "There are no real problems here," Hart said, and he cited the state constitution's provision for operators' rights of eminent domain as the most effective method of solving difficulties. Each new set of regulations promulgated by a federal bu reau, Hart said, covers more ter ritory, creates more limits upon the independence of action of Amputees Roundly Applaud For Floradora Exhibition New York, June 14 (U.R) Six burly young men danced across a stage in a floradora number. They twirled pink para sols, leered and flounced. The audience rose and ap plauded. Three of the young men were leg amputees, three arm amputees. Climax of Program The floradora sextet was the climax of a program at the vet e r a n s' administration offices, where today the world's largest exhibit of appliances and aids for the disabled was open to the public. The exhibit shows the prog ress made from the days when a feudal knight who had lost a leg wore a heavy iron appliance to balance him on a horse, to the present-day testing of a hy draulic knee unit which allows the wearer to run and jump. The veterans administration, which maintains a testing, re search and development labora tory here, put on a show for scientists, inventors, physicians, and manufacturers which recall ed Peter Stuyvesant and his peg leg, Sarah Bernhardt and her wooden leg, and starred Boris Karloff as Captain Hook. Armless Man Act Then, the burly "disabled" young men went to work. Jerry Leavy, Los Angeles, and Lonnie S. B FONG Why Suffer Longer? When Others Fail COME TO US ACT NOW!

Wear ing improved "army hooks" for hands, they shaved, lit cigarets, picked up marshmallows, drank from paper cups. The improved hook, just re leased for manufacture, gives an arm amputee a locked "finger tip" grip with a shrug of the shoulder. The veterans adminis tration, still testing, is studying the use of the device by 400 amputee veterans in various parts of the country. Restaurant Reopening At Central Point Central Point, June 24 An nouncement was made here yes terday of the reopening of Smitty's Ranch House by Arturo Lucero, new chef-manager. Lu cero, who stated that he plans to open the restaurant on or about Thursday, June 29, comes here with 18 years of cooking experience and has trained under European chefs. He recently arrived from Santa Barbara where he had been chef the past three years of the "Talk of the Town" res taurant. He formerly was asso ciated with the Santa Barbara Biltmore, Westward Ho hotel, Phoenix, Ariz., and Everglades club, In Florida. Italian and American dishes and other specialties will be fea tured at the ranch house. Lunches, dinners and late sup pers will be served, with ac commodations for special par tics. C. G. "Smitty" Smith, owner and former operator, stated that he has no definite plans at present. The horns that Michelangelo carved on his statue of Moses in St. Peter's church, Rome, were the result of a Bible scholar's mistake. The Bible says that rays shone from the head of Moses when he came down from Mount Sinai, and. according to the World Book Encyclopedia, early scholars translated the He brew word for "ravs" as "horns."

Hart said he questions the ne cessity of what he called the loss of individual opportunity. Hart also implied that redraft ing of the agreed-upon substance of the proposals caused changes in their effect. Reply Made In a brief reply to Hart's state ments, Goldy said that the re drafting caused no substantive changes in intent; that both the board and the sub-committee were in unanimous agreement on the regulations before they were submitted to the Washing ton office, and that disagree ments in the industry on the regulations had largely been ironed out through meetings, dis cussions and a line-by-line in spection of the completed regu lations in the office of the secre tary of the interior. He also reemphasized several of the points covered earlier, concerning the fact that the regu lations would not apply if not needed; that the regulations lim ited the government's authority more than did the previous in terim regulations, the difficulty of gaining rapid, clear settlement through the courts, and the obli gations of the government in the administration of publicly-owned land. Technicalities Described A number of the more techni cal points involved in the ad ministration of the regulations were described by Goldy during the evening, and he gave back ground information as to why the regulations became neces sary, and the manner in which they were drawn up. He also covered the policies laid down by congress which the regulations were designed to carry out. Basically, he said, the regula tions provide that the govern ment has the right to ask for the right to assign use of a road across its property to those who buy government timber. Certain obligations must be fulfilled by those receiving this assignment, he said. The meeting, which lasted un til midnight, was under the chair manship of Bill Lingaas, presi dent of the SOCTFA, and mem bers of the association were told the new radio communications network would go into effect probably by July 15. Equipment is now arriving, it was said. Pruett Explains Mysterious Sounds By J. Hugh Pruett Astronomer. Extension Division, Oregon Higher Education System "I have read of a booming sound that comes out of the ocean in a locality off India. For a number of years while I have been prospecting in a certain isolated mountainous region, I have clearly heard a constant droning noise night and day, sometimes faint and sometimes quite strong, something like the hum of a World War I German bomber. "Whether this comes from the ground or the air, I am not sure. The direction is uncertain, but it always sounds muffled and far away. Are there records of similar noises elsewhere? I am curious." (J.C.W., Klamath Falls.) Not Astronomical I am quite sure the sound mentioned is not astronomical. It is not the "music of the spheres" which during the 2000 years after the time of the Gre cian Pythagoras was supposed to result from the orbital motion of the planets. Nor is it the radio "noises" which have defi nitely been found to come from the direction of the Milky Way and the sun. Huge meteors above the clouds at times produce un usual sounds, but they are of short duration. Dr. W. J. Humphreys, former ly of the weather bureau, uses the term "brontide" in connec tion with certain apparently mysterious sounds which at times seem to come from no where. He believes, however, that many brontides are due to "rumblings of earthquakes too feeble for registration," except ing by aural detection. It is well known that sound will echo from a flat well or cliff. By laboratory experiment it is found that if the reflecting surface is concave, the sound is brought to a focus so that the echo is extremely loud. The proper arrangement of such re flectors will make it possible to hear the faint ticking of a watch at considerable distances. Whispering Galleries In some large buildings the construction is such that "whis pering galleries" result. This Is often due to an overhead dome which focuses the sound. In St. Paul's of London, the national capltol at Washington and the Mormon Tabernacle at Salt Lake City, a whisper at certain spots can be heard distinctly a long distance away, although it is not audible at points between. In ancient times the Ear of Diony sius was a dungeon so construct ed that the tyrant of Syracuse listening at a certain place could overhear the unguarded words of his prisoners. In nature, con cave mountain formations could focus the constant roar of a dis tant ocean. Then there is another effect known as resonance in which a tube of a certain length will greatly reinforce a tone of a given pitch. The "song of the waves." a constant hum of a definite pitch heard in a sea shell held close to the ear makes audible faint sounds constantly around Ms but never suspected otherwise. Our correspondent's mountain phenomenon is likely sound focusing or resonance due to the shape of natural surroundings. First Summer Outing For YMCA Girls Set The YMCA announced Sat urday that its girl's summer ad venture trips will begin on Thursday, June 29, with a field trip to the Medford corporation in the morning. Lunch and out door recreation in Lithia park will follow, with the group re turning to the 'Y' for a swim at 4 p.m. This is the beginning of a series of trips the girls will make this summer, some of which will include outdoor trips to the woods in the 'Y' truck, i hikes, bicycle outings, visits to ! local industries, and a journey to the Oregon caves. Take Lunches All girls belonging to the YMCA between the ages of 9 to 15 are invited to meet at the 'Y' on Thursday, June 29, at 9:30 a.m. with sack lunch, swim suits, and 10 cents for transportation. Due to limited space, the first 40 girls regis tering at the main desk for this trip will be permitted to go. Miss E a r 1 i n e Rogers, girl's activity director, will conduct the trips with the aid of other adult supervisors. Last year's adventure trips were a highlight of the YMCA summer program, and the girls are anxiously awaiting them this year, "Y" officials said. A schedule of boy's trips will be announced later for each Wednesday. Navy Company's Full Complement Expected Monday Fulfillment of minimum com plement requirements for the new naval reserve organized electronics company is expected Monday, officers said Saturday. The unit will hold its regular meeting at 7:30 p. m., at the Federal building, 33 North Riv erside avenue. "We only need a few more seaman recruits to assure im mediate activation of the com pany," Lt. Henry Fisher said. "Present members of the group have already been instructed to bring at least one new man. And we will welcome any others who are interested in the program." Purpose of the organization is to train a team of experts who would be able to take over the communications system of a man-of-war in case of emergency or to operate a naval communi cations station. Members of the crew will be qualified to oper ate radio receivers and transmit ters, radar warning devices, son ar underwater detection gear, and be prepared to service any electronic equipment aboard ship. Program to Start The training program will start soon after activation papers are sent to Seattle headquarters, Lt. Fisher stated. The company will draw pay for the drill sessions and will be issued uniforms as quickly as possible. One phase of the training work will be a weekend cruise aboard a destroyer escort in September. The ship will take naval reservists aboard at Cres cent City and the civilian sailors will be completely In charge of the vessel for two days. Men qualified to make the trip will be members of the naval reserve units-electronics company, vol unteer composite unit, Seabees, aviation company, and the mar ine reserve unit.

Wt prefer the latter and it is on that basis we make this proposal: For every one-year subscription your group sells, The Medford News will pay $7.00. For every two-year 1 subscription we will pay $1.70. The price of a one year subscription is $3.00; two-year subscriptions sell for $5.00. These subscription prices have been in effect for more than a year in other words we are not boosting the price of the paper in order to make this offer to you. Here is opportunity for your group to build a fund for whatever purpose they might wish. Returns could be substantial. We place no limit on the number of subscriptions or whether your returns total $10 or $1,000 or more. The only limit is on the time of the drive. It ends July 29. The offer holds good whether the subscriptions are new ones or renewals. Our only stipulation is that they be sold at the full price and the money paid to us at the time we enter the names and addresses of subscribers. That is necess sary in order to put the money through our books in full amount for tax pur poses. Then we will write a check for the group's share of the proceeds. We will do this weekly, every two weeks, or at the end of the campaign according to the group's wishes. In addition to the cash returns, we will also give a grand prize to the group turning in the most subscriptions. Watch The Medford News for succeed ing announcements, but in the meantime make your plans NOW to profit by this money-making offer. MORE MEDFORD NEWS SUBSCRIBERS MEAN MORE DOLLARS FOR YOUR CLUB i
