TWELVE MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, July 20 1952 Pilot Makes Report To Copcoon Line Break in Storm Harvey M. Brandau, one of the pilots conducting cloud seeding operations for the pre vention of hail on valley or chards, was commended last week for his assistance to the California Oregon Power com pany in spotting and reporting a transmission line break. Brandau was flying over the Greensprings pass area the after noon of Friday, July 11, when he saw a large flash near the ground, after a lightning strike. After he landed, he reported it to Copco. In a letter, F. A. Benesh, Cop co district manager, told Bran dau that "this information was of material assistance in prompt location of the line fault and riisnatchins of crews. We wish to commend the alertness of your observation and extend our sin cere appreciation of your efforts in our behalf." Benesh also said that the light ning burned out an insulator, with a resultant "flash-over" to adjacent conductors and destruc tion of insulators. Crewmen worked well past midnight to make repairs on the line, which crosses the shoulder of Soda mountain, in the southeast por tion of the county, where tne break took ploce. Brandau recently returned to Medford after a three-month season conducting cloud-seeding operations for the prevention of hail in the Sacramento area. He said the efforts have been termed successful, with no hail damage reported in the area where seeding took place, al though hail fell immediately outside that area. A California state law governs the operation of cloud seeding and other weather control ex periments, Brandau reported. A S50 license is required, and pi lots make reports telling the time they are in the air, the area, and the date. The results of these reports are compiled by the state in a continuing study of the effects of cloud seeding, so that definite, long term results can be accurately determined. A total of 150 hours were flown in three months. Brandau said, and during that time there were five major "disturbances" of the type frequently carrying hail. The products which the fliers were retained to protect there ?re mostly tree fruit crops, sim ilar to those grown in the Rogue valley. "Help yourself" cafeteria cars dispensing cold meats, sand wiches, pastries and beverages are now run on British railways. Passengers - deposit their coins, load their trays and dine on con venient tip-up tables. Ex-Pendleton Mayor Dies In California Pendleton U.R) . George A.
