May 16 Primary Registrations A Highest in History of Oregon Salem (U.R) Oregonians have registered for the May 15' pri mary in the largest number in the state's history, Dave O'Hara, head of the State Election bureau, has disclosed. And lor the first time in sev eral years, more voters are reg istered Republicans than Demo s crats. The total registration listed In 2273 precincts is: Republicans, 887,717; Democrats 380,075. Few in Odd Parties Registered for the 1950 pri mary election were 346,038 Re publicans and 354,575 Demo crats. And registered for the 1950 general election were 361, 158 Republicans and 378,357 Democrats. A comparative handful are registered other than Republi can or Democrat for this year's primary. They include 3,507 In dependents, 186 Progressives, 233 Prohibitionists, 156 Social ists and 6071 listed as "all others." That makes a total registra tion this year of 777,945 com pared with 711,719-foe the 1950 primary and 751,370 for the 1950 general. election. Registra tion is always some heavier for the general election than for the primary, which means the regis- tration for next November may i easily top 800,000.

D. Sajkowsky, plant manager. Following engineering tests. the system has been declared one of the most efficient dust collecting systems In the na tion," the manager pointed out. He said this observation has been confirmed by tests ap plied by different independent engineers. At the present time, the manager explained, e "plume" of varying intensity is noticeable from the plant's smokestack, consisting of "most ly water vapor and a few fumes." The thickness of the plume "depends upon atmos pheric conditions," Sajkowsky added, and their effect on the vapor. The collecting unit is very costly to install, the manager stated, whieh is the reason that many parts of the nation do not H. Adr.

Shriners To Attend Spring Ceremonial A large delegation of Med ford Shriners is expected to at tend the annual spring ceremon ial of Hillah temple at Grants Pass on May 17. Eugene H. Tardy, illustrious potentate from Grants Pass, will preside over the day-lon'g ac tivities and Austin B. Brownell is general chairman for the -af fair. Other members in charge are Del Thorsland, assistant gen eral chairman; Oscar Shepherd, ceremonial director; and Ray Baker, assistant ceremonial director. The day's activities will cen ter from the memorial gymnas ium at Grants Pass high school where the ceremonial wil be held. After registration at 10 a. m. at the Redwoods hotel, the Camel Corps lunch will be held at noon at the Cave Shop restaurant. Following a business session at the Redwoods hotel at 1.30 p. m., the nobles will gather at the gymnasium for the after noon. Dinner for the visitors will be served from 5:15 to 7:15 p. m., with a parade following at 7:30.

' The collector, which Is built on the ground, consists of three parts: a dust-settling chamber for very coarse particles; a Multi-Clone dust collector for the intermediate collection and the bulk of the residue, which con tains a series of collecting tubes; and a Cotrell electrical dust pre cipitator which collects the re mainder that is missed by the first two processes. The latter phase of the oper ation is by far the most expen sive, according to Sajkowsky, and is the most complex. It includes a. series of rod curtains In a large chamber with many electrically-charged wires between the rods. These wires are charged with between 60,000 j and 70,000 volts, he explained, with the voltage "charging the atmosphere in such a way in the chamber that the dust particles cling to the rod curtains. The dust which collects is au tomatically removed, he contin ued, by "mechanical rapping" at certain intervals which frees the rods and removes the residue from the chamber. He said that a large enough Cotrell unit could be used with out the other-two processes but its cost would be prohibitive. By using the smaller unit with the other two processes, the plant's particular problems can be solved with the same re sults, he said.

Cochran, state chairman of the current cancer crusade, has revealed in a second report to campaign workers on how society funds are used. Cochran pointed out that the money for professional educa tion was spent in cooperation with the state and county medi cal societies and the University of Oregon medical school. The largest single expend! ture in this category, he said was to maintain the chair of on cology at the medical school. Society funds were used to pay salaries and to provide various equipment for the chair of oncology. Other society activities under the heading of professional edu cation include: Publications Sent ' 1, A copy of the publication, CA, to every medical doctor in the state.
