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.

the system has been declared
one of the most efficient dust

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

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

A large delegation of Med

Pass on May 17.
Eugene H. Tardy, illustrious
potentate from Grants Pass, will
preside over the day-lon'g ac

is general chairman for the -af
fair. Other members in charge
are Del Thorsland, assistant gen

have them. '
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.

Cancer Group Tells
How 1951 Donations
Were Used in Year
Portland The American Can
cer Society's Oregon division
spent a total of $32,130 for pro
fessional education during the
past year, Kenneth R. 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. The publication, which
has six issues a year, deals with
cancer research, diagnosis and
new treatment techniques,
2. A grant to the Universit
of Oregon dental school.
3. A refresher course In can
cer nursing for nurses and films
and literature for the state's var
ious schools of nursing.
4. Participation in the annual
post graduate course for doctors
in cancer treatment and diag
nosis. This course is held each
summer at the University of
Oregon medical school in coop
eration with the school.
Cochran stated that "the con
tinuation of this work is most
important and every effort
should be exerted to make the
current campaign a success and
thus Insure that such educa
tional programs will continue
under the close guidance of the
medical societies and the medi
cal school."
