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.
