SIXTEEK MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursdiy. June 11. 1SS2 Significance and History of Flag Told to Kiwanians Frank Van Dyke, Medford at torney, in a pre-Flag day talk to Medford Kiwanians Wednesday, tressed the importance of life and liberty. Many people, he said, are busy in the pursuit of happiness and forget the importance of life and liberty. He brought out that a thoughtful mind sees the nation in the flag. It must be realized anew, Van Dyke stated, that one of the greatest dangers to the flag is "our own indifference." He spoke at Rogue Valley Coun try club. Van Dyke with the help of George Knight and Jerry Leh man, both Boy bcouis 01 Lire rank, told the story of the flag, starting in 1497 with the red cross of England. This flag re portedly was flown by John Ca bot on the first ship to land on North America. This early flag was displayed. as were the Union Jack, the Un ion Jack on a banner of red, the Pine Tree flag of northern col onies, the Snake flag of southern colonies, the Continental Con gress flag with Union Jack on red and white striped banner, and the 13-star, lS-star and 15 stripe and 8-star flags. Guests of the club Wednesday were Maureen Rice and Pat Ly diard, 1952 high school grad uates who won Kiwanis music awards. Club Secretary E. Ron Rice reported that, since Kiwanians placed gum machines in this area in 1948. residents of the area have chewed 1,330,262 balls of gum. Club President Jennings Pierce said that Kiwanians will hold a breakfast meeting on Frifcy. July 4, and a family picnic on Wednesday, July 23 at Table Rock Estates. Rice, Pierce and Past President Robert Rector will leave Saturday for the Ki wanis International convention at Seattle. Real Estate Value of Farms Shows Decline Washington U.P)T h e Agri culture Department had both good and bad news Wednesday for city dwellers eyeing the charms of farm life. . It said the rate of increase in farm real estate values has slow ed down a 2 per cent gain dur ing the four months ended March was only one-fourth as much as the advance the same time a year ago but that an acre of farm land is worth more than ever before. Farm Demand Weakened Rising farm production costs and lower prices for many farm products has weakened the de- Hormone Drug Found Useful in Regrowing Hair . Chicago (U.PJ Hair has been regrown in one type of baldness with the use of a hor mone drug, two Chicago derma tologists reported at the Ameri can Medical Association's 101st annual meeting. The drug, called cortisone, produced new hair for IS pa tients out of 22 who were treat ed for alopecia areata, which causes circular patches of hair to fall out. The doctors, Calvin J. Dillaha and Stephen Rothman, pointed out, however, that only a small percentage, of the cases of bald ness is due to this disease and that they did not recommend the treatment for general use. Oral Doiet Used They said a "cosmetically sat isfactory" regrowth appeared following treatment for 10 or more weeks with oral doses of cortisone.. The six cases which did not respond to treatment were those of the longest standing. Four of these had 'been present throughout the patient's ado lescence. Regrowth in the successful treatments was patchy, the doc tors said, and the new hair fell out when the treatment was dis continued or the dosage of cort isone was reduced too much. State Inspectors Of County's Bees Are Announced ' State inspection of bees in1 Jackson county this season is being carried on by I. O. Ed wards, Ashland, and Robert H Ridge, Gold Hill, recently ap pointed deputy state inspectors by the State Department of Ag riculture, according to a news release from Salem. Besides routine inspections, the are authorized to issue mov ing permits. Under the 1951 bee law, all colonies of bees moved any place in the state must have a permit, issued for a fee of 25 cents per colony. All bees whether Oregon or imported must also be registered with the department at a fee set by law of $2 for the beekeeper and 25 cents for each colony owned or in possession of the beekeeper. Need Certificates Any bees coming into the state and department officials estimate about 15,000 colonies from other states will move in on a rental basis for crop and orchard pollination this season may come in on state inspection certificates but when they leave Oregon they must have a mov ing permit. Under a new California regu lation, bees coming in from that state and remaining for more than 60 days after their last in spection must have a new in spection certificate before leav ing Oregon to show freedom from American foulbrood and other bee diseases. Such inspec tions are made on the basis of, time and per diem for the inspec tor. Most of the Imported bees will enter Jefferson or Klamath counties for teed pollination rentals. mand for farms, the department said. It said another factor is the large amount of capital required to buy and equip a farm. More than two-thirds of the state reporters for the Bureau of Agricultural Economics predict ed little change in farm sales prices during the next six months. The 2 per cent gain in farm real estate values over the period pushed up to S81.64 the national per acre value of farm land highest on record. You could have bought an' "average acre' for $74.69 last year, and paid S.H.ze for it 10 years ago. Average Farm Worth 117.000 With the total dollar value of America's 1,158.000,000 farm acres and buildings now esti mated at $94,600,000,000, the de partment said the "average farm" of 215 acres is now worth between $17,000 and $18,000, The same farm in 1950 would have cost $14,000. The department said South west and Great Plains states re ported the largest farm real es tate gains from November to March.
