July 17, 1952 THEY'LL FLY THE ATLANTIC Two Air Force helicopters, the Hopalong (left) and the Whirlaway, on the runway at Westover Air Force Base, Mass., prior to takeoff on their 4000-mile flight to , Germany.

(U.R) Northern California county officials Thursday went ahead with plans to forestall what they called "a water grab by the U. S. bureau of reclamation ' along the Klam ath river. The Siskiyou county, Califor nia, Board of Supervisors ap pointed Frank Lathrop of the county assessor's office'to make an investigation and report on the water needs in Siskiyou county. . , California State Senator Ran dolph Collier, Republican of Yreka, present at the meeting, said he recently talked with Gov. Douglas McKay of Oregon. Police Firearms Classes Scheduled A four-day course in the han dling of firearms, particularly pistols, will be sponsored here from July 22 to 24 inclusive by the Medford police department, it was announced today by Po lice Chief Clatous McCredie. McCredie said that Special Agent Bill Williams, in charge of the Portland office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, will conduct the school, to be held at the Camp White pistol range. Two classes will be given each of the four days, so that all full-time law enforcement offic ers in this area may attend. All Medford officers will take the course, the chief said. The school, first of its kind ever given in . southern Oregon, will be largely a, practical pistol use course, and will include in struction in ballistics, firearms theory, dry firing and target firing, using silhouettes rather than bull-eye firing. A firearms demonstration will be given on the last day of the four-day course. McKay, according to Collier, in dicated he was in favor of inter state co-operation' in the matter of surveying the northern California-southern Oregon counties: water needs so long as the inter ests of Klamath county, Oregon, were not abused. Collier said "the bureau is in terested only in taking our wat er to reclaim land and use it to run hydro-electric plants. It is not interested in the affect this action would have on fishing and mining along the Klamath river.". Report Ready in 1954 Earlier it had been recom mended the water not be divert ed prior to completion of water-needs study in the areas affeGted. The Lathrop report was expected to be completed within six months and would be consolidated in a state of Calif ornia report. The bureau s re port,- Collier said, would not be ready until June, 1954. However, Collier indicated that action by the Trinity coun tv, California, Board of Super visors in allowing the bureau to divert Trinity water has en dangered the water rights of northern California. Attacks "Deal" Collier lashed out at what he called a deal by which Trinity agreed to allow the bureau to divert Trinity water in ex change for government help ' in building schools, roads and oth er county facilities. Collier pre dicted that the outcome of the Trinity county action would be "the eventual destruction of its industry and its incorporation with Shasta county. The Siskiyou Board of Super visors also announced a meeting of "policy and executive type" to be held in Klamath Falls, Ore., to select commissioners io act to block any. Bureau of Re clamation move to divert water from the Klamath river watershed. US Farmers Debate Civil War on Visit to Uruguay Washington (UP) Take a red-headed Yankee and a pep pery southerner and the chances are you'll get a debate on the Civil War, even if the locale hap pens to be Uruguay. That's what happened when two young American farm boys, Richard Alyn Jones, Orange, Mass., and Roy Lonnie Shelton, Jr., Birmingham, Ala., toured the South American country. They spent five months visiting and working" with farm families there ' under the International Farm Youth exchange program. Jones, 21, and Shelton, 19, came home without agreeing on who won the war between the states. They are, however, of one mind about Uruguay they like it but the influence of Ameri can films in foreign countries they didrft like it. On 15 Farms Jones, an animal husbandry student, and Shelton, who has run his own 180-acre dairy farm in Alabama for four years, chose to go to Uruguay because live stock is the principal farm "crop" there. They lived on 15 farms and spent an average of nine days on each. - They said they had to "prove" they weren't "rich, spoiled, young Americans" before they were fully accepted. - Shelton won one bout by rid ing bareback on a bucking bronco. They both convinced another farm family when they kept up with hand hay loading alongside a trotting team of horses. Normally, the horses walk between the hay stacks and workers toss loads onto the wag on as they go. "It was pretty hard," Jones said, "but we did it for two days, and then everything was all right." The two blamed "lousy, old, grade Z" American movies for the confused picture that some Uruguayans have of Americans. They also thought the bad films gave local communists a lot of ammunition.' The two enjoyed their South American trip, nonetheless, but they are glad to get back home. Shelton is "way behind on my planting." This summer the IFYE will send 90 more young Americans abroad, some to Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey. More than 132 stu dents-from 42 participating coun tries will come here to visit and work on U. S. farms during the year. . One of the few international projects carried on without the use of any federal or state funds, the IFYE is-financed by money raised by local 4-H clubs and other interested groups. The agriculture department's extension service, the State De partment, and the association of land grant colleges help in set ting up the exchanges from this country. NECTAR BERRIES ARE HERE MAKE JAM AND JELLY WITH SURE-JELL "PECTIN TODAY! - -A natural fruit pectin product! Sweets Come Second For Marine Regiment With First Marine Division in Korea (U.R) Members of the First Marine Regiment prefer "heat-and-serve" food, dehydrat ed soups and pre-cooked prepar ations over sweets and other confections, according to a survey. Although Marines are kept healthy with chow from the galley, or when necessary from "C" rations, they still like to have delicacies occasionally which are not provided in regu lar rations. Cans of chili, soups, tuna, sar dines and meat sandwich spreads were rated high on the preferred list. Pepperoni was listed as favor ite among meat items. It may be kept for long periods without danger of spoiling. When a Ma rine wants a midnight snack, he can slice a piece of the Italian sausage and eat if without any preparation other than peeling off the covering. Cheese Welcomed Other cherished gifts from home are sharp cheese and cheese spreads. A box of crack ers will make sandwiches when crackers cannot be obtained from a field galley or from "C" rations. In the way of liquids, 4,instant" cocoa has top rating, followed by tea bags and bouil lon cubes. As far as fruit it concerned, the Marines voted canned orange juice in first place. Sec ond choice was tomato juice Dried apricots and prunes make excellent dishes when stewed in canteen cups with sugar cubes added. For the - rweet tooth, hard cookies and "heavy" cake, such as fruit or raisin cake made without milk are ideal to send because - they will not become spoiled or stale en route. They Like Fudge Chocolate fudge and hard candy are the most appropriate confections. However, service men in Korea receive daily PX rations of chocolate bars and other kinds of candy. "C ra tions provide one confection daily. Cigarettes are also includ ed in PX and "C" rations. . Items other than footstuffs which are generally needed in clude candles, or perhaps, a flashlight with extra batteries and bulbs, and stationery. Oft en those things can be bought in the PX but the man on the front line is usually not able to get to an exchange until his outfit goes into reserve. If sent by air mail, the pack age will be received in about eight or nine days. If air mail is too expensive, a parcel post, which takes about a month to reach Korea, can be sent at mod erate rates. A fee of '.'special handling" will assiire fast serv ice and good care of the package. LOST IS FOUND Marion, O. (U.R) Gardening this year was worth more money to Roger Campbell than usual. While setting out plants, he found a billfold he lost last year. It still had the $15, with the bills in goodcondition con sidering the one-year burial.

Helicopter Service For Mail in Europe Operates 21 Months . Brussels (U.R) Europes : first regular helicopter air mail : service, run jointly by the Be- ' : j. l - 1 gian post ouice ana neigian air- m lines celebrated its "coming-of- ' I age" this month. It is 21 months, in September, ! 1950, since the first helicopter i took off from Haren Airfield ! near Brussels on a round-Bel- i gian collection and distribution ! trip. j Since then Belgians have be-i come so accustomed to seeing the t wasp-like machines , carrying i the "flying postman" hovering j above their cities that they sel- j dom look up. ' - i The idea of pioneering the heli-post in Belgium came to j Postmaster-General M. Pineaux two years ago after a trip to ' Peterborough, England, where : he witnessed a maneuverability I demonstration by helicopters. On his return he consulted Belgian Airlines (Sabena) and arranged for the purchase of two Ameri can - built machines. ' Trip of 230 Miles Since then, six days a week, one of the two helicopters op erating the service takes off from Haren on - its 230 - mile trip around Belgian cities. The machine makes ten stops en route at Brussels, Libramont, Liege, Tongres, Hasselt, Bering en, Herenthals, Turnout, An twerp and again Brussels. An average of 12,000 letters are picked up or deposited on the four and a half hour daily run. The landing grounds, or "hel-i-ports" as the post office calls them vary from football grounds to broad highways. The tight schedule provides for stopov ers lasting only one minute ex cept for. the one re-fueling stop per trip, when seven minutes are allowed. The slow-flying but highly ma neuverable aircraft can operate in weather which would ground most orthodox aircraft and in many cases delay mail trains. During last winter, with its fogs, blizzards and freezing wea ther, the helipost got through 95 per cent of its scheduled trips. In summer the efficiency rate is as high as 99 per cent. Only One Accident Only accident has happened fifteen days after the inaugural flight, a helicopter crashed into the River Meuse at Liege when its engine failed. The pilot swam ashore and the mail, car ried in waterproof panniers strapped "to the fuselage of the machine, was salvaged. The hel icopter was , back in service a few. weeks later and is still fly ing. Letters delivered by helipost cost more than ordinary mail.
