"55- ill Salmon's Sense of Smell Has Effect on Migrations Ottawa (U.R) People "smell" as far as Pacific coast salmon are concerned. The Canadian fisheries re search board said that human skin odors have an adverse ef fect on migrating salmon. If there's a human being within smelling distance of the salmon, the fish won't swim upstream to spawn. Scientists attached to the re search board proved the aversion of salmon to human beings dur ing experiments at Tamp River, Vancouver Island, B. C. The department built a con crete fish ladder on the Stamp River to count and observe adult salmon during the period when they go upstream to spawn. Too Much For Salmon Scientists first noted that the salmon disliked human odor when .a man waded barefoot into the . river about 20 feet up stream from the ladder to re trieve a tagged coho salmon. "It was noticed at the count- Over $800 Given For Auditorium More than 800 has been re ceived to support the campaign for a Medford civic auditorium, according to A. A. Lausmann, temporary chairman of the Civic Auditorium association. The group wants to collect $5,000 for its project. Letters have been sent to many busi nesses and individuals seeking both donations and suggestions. 'This is a very worthwhile project and I will be glad to help if needed," declared the second contributor to the campaign. We need immediate action," said another early donor. Give Suggestions Contributors'- suggestions for facilities in the auditorium in clude a stage with adequate backstage facilities, a floor large enough for basketball games, bowling alleys, and rifle and pis tol ranges. Informing Lausmann that she would be "proud to help," a reg istered nurse wrote that .the auditorium is "a must if Med ford is to continue as a progres sive, cooperative city. We must show pride in an adequate build ing program." Checks may be made payable to "Civic Auditorium Associa tion" and mailed to P.O. Box 1268, Medford. ...

Menu' and Prices Submitted ' -' - Without Obligation " FREE PARKING Newspaper Stands on Pool Table Legs Challis, Ida. U.R) The Chal- lis Messenger boasts that it is the only newspaper in the world that stands on pool table legs. The Idaho weekly newspaper. published by Halsey Gridley has been on those same pool ta ble legs since he bought the paper in 1929. The building the paper is now occupying was built in 1878 as a saloon. Beneath it was a beer cellar. When Gridley bought the pa per, he moved it to the one-time saloon. He found that the floor had caved in and would not with stand the weight of the press. He propped the floor and start ed looking around for something that would hold the floor and the press. He decided on a pool table. When Idaho was a young state, the miners would come into town at night for their recrea tion. Pool was a favorite. The miners, after shoving tons of rock and dirt around all day, were not inclined to be gentle with the tables. The tables had to be built to last for years. Gridley cut off the legs of one table and sunk the five-inch square legs into the ground un der the floor as a special bracing, the floor as a special bracing. He then took another pool ta ble and set the nine-ton press on it with the legs extending through the floor and into the ground. Socio Security Office Remodeling Completed The field office of the Social Security administration, 33 North Riverside avenue, has been remodeled to make "one of the nicest government offi ces in the country," according to Field Representative Olin K. Kimbrel. The office has been partition ed to take it out of the large office space that had formerly been an auto showroom. ing point, three steps below the top of the ladder, that there was an immediate and notice able drop in the upstream mi gration," the board said. "The location of the disturb ance was out of sight of the fish, and it was unlikely, with the noise of falling water in each step of the ladder that the sound of the disturbance could be heard. "Therefore it seemed probable that an odor from human skin had repelled the fish. Further tests bore this out. An observer placed his hand in the flow of water passing over the sill into the step immediately above that in which counts were being made. Proved Further "A minimum amount of dis turbance and movement accom panied this act," the board said. "After on minute of immersion the hand was removed. A quite sudden and striking reduction in the rate of upstream migration occurred. From a mean -ate of 34 coho each 10 minutes the number dropped to four one hour later a repetition of the test resulted in a similar de crease in the migratory rate." As a result of the experiments, spectators watching the migra tion of salmon have been asked not to interfere with the fish or create a disturbance in the wa ter with their hands. Scientists made other tests to see whether any other odors, such as those from various or ganic substances, disturbed the fish. The fish paid no attention to these odors but were immedi ately repelled when a human hand was placed in the water. MIDNITE I STAGE SHOW! SATURDAY! i Plus Screen Scare! 'Chamber of Horrors' J Tusdy.
