I KEEP A j SUPPLY OF OLYMPIA BEER ON HAND FOR SURE-TO-PLEASE REFRESHMENT. OLYMPIA BREWING CO.. Olympia. Wash, U.S.A. Residents "of a Memphis, Term., suburb petitioned the city to supply them with water be cause the drouth was boosting their present water bills to $20 to $30 a month. "Why, at the rate we're pay ing for water a bath costs us nearly half a dollar," one citizen said. Car washing and lawn sprin kling was restricted in dozens of Southern cities. At least 12 persons in the South had died because of the heat wave since Saturday. Record in Alabama The mercury spurted to 106 at Selma, Ala., and all-time July 23 records were set at Atlanta with 102.8, Nashville, Tenn., with 100.1. Chattanooga, Tenn., suffered in the hottest recorded temper ature in the city's history when the mercury rose to 105. It was the hottest July day in history for both Montgomery, Ala., which reported 103, and Augusta, Ga., which recorded 105. At least 68 heat deaths have been reported in New York this year, 41 since July 1. Animal hospitals recorded a marked increase in heat pros tration cases among cats and dogs.

Roland V. Warrick was slight ly burned on the forearms. Weldon Leisy, a foreman who was standing near a huge mixing vat when it caught fire, suffered first, second and third degree burns on the arms and legs. Hos pital attendants said his condi tion was good. The fire swept through the plant of the Concrete Block Gil- sonite Roof Products Company, demolishing the company build ing and a small house north of it. The heat of the flames blister ed paint on several residences nearby. If you lose money, it's too bad; but if you lose defense bonds, there are legal provisions for issuing duplicates. I Summer.

London U.R) When Gal ileo made the famous first tele scope in Italy 313 years ago he opened a tiny peephole into the universe. When Britain gets through building a fantasic new instru ment in Manchester she will op en a fairly large window that will enable man to plunge so many million light years deep er into "space" that if the mile age were like this "1,000,- 000,000,000,000,000 .... etc' there would not be room to com plete all the naughts in a col umn - The instrument is a "radio telescope"- shaped like a bowl that can be aimed into the. sky to pick up radio waves emanat ing from black, or unseen stars so far away that some astronom ers may just have dreamed they existed. It is the climax of develop ments of war-time radio discov eries and the first big step in the newest science of radio astron omy. Set Is 300 Feet High The radio telescope will be completed in four years. " It is bigger than Times Square and is 300 feet high. It will cost 336,000 pounds, ($940,000.) The scientist in charge of the project is Dr. A. C. B. Lovell a radio astronomy pioneer of Manchester University. The new telescope probably will show us much that we don't already know. There -are a few thousand stars that the naked eye can see. The 200-inch tele scope on Mount Palomar, Cal ifornia can distinguish, perhaps, another 100,000,000. However, there are belived to be 100,000,000,000 visible stars in our galaxy when we can all get time off to help count them. There are thought to be an other 100,000,000,000 stars that cannot be seen by telescopes be cause they are either black that isunborn or dead or be cause they are too far away. They will be "felt" by the new radio telescope whether they are black or incredibly distant. To Pick up Waves The simple idea behind the telescope is that all those distant stars emit radio waves. This bowl-shaped "receiver" of steel lattice work will move its course across the sky to pick up the in coming radio waves. They will locate the direction of an unseen star. Questions which arise are how deep into miscalled "space' will the frail, questing steel ear of the new instrument take us, Just how insignificant is this thing on which we live, the SB- 1 G7 IS TASTIER!... Tctlj IS "TOPS"! Coattiat that cxclusirf-fltTor factor" for extra zest . . . extra goodness! jvT H THRIFTY, . git We earth. As everyone knows, even the sun is only an average star. As it takes the earth 365 days to move around the sun, so it takes the sun 250,000,000 light years to move around its own orbit, carrying us with it. The sun travels at about 600,000 miles an hour. Not satisfied with that, Dr. Lovell hopes the new radio tele scope will give us more factual material to analyze by probing deeper than ever before into the terrifying skies packed with stars and hurtling meteors and more highly concentrated dust than you find in a flour mill. Discovered .In War It all started during World War II when British radar oper ators, whose duty it was to spot German aircraft, found their sets cut right out by jamming. There was a dark moment in Prime Minister Wiston Church ill's war cabinet. It was feared the Germans had devised a meth od of nullifying the invaluable radar warnings of enemv air craft approaching on bombing raids. - Then a British army research scientist detected the source of interference as the sun. He found the sun was jamming the sets with high-powered radio transmissions caused by a huge sunspot crossing the solar disk. Those sun - spot disturbances reach the earth about 26 hours later and cause those well-known "atmospherics" on radio sets. Wife's Teeth Pulled; Assault Charge Dropped Knoxville, Tenn. (U.R) A Knox county man was freed of assault charges when he testified that his wife's losing several teeth in a family quarrel was not "en tirely" his fault. Roy T. Ford told the court that Mrs. Ford's teeth were not actually "knock ed out" as she had charged. "I pulled them out because my hand was in her mouth and she was biting me," he said. UN War Planer Assault Enemy Railroad Lines Seoul (U.PJ United Nations planes renewed the air war against the Communists Thurs day with assaults on the main railway supply lines leading from Manchuria to enemy front lines. Allied fighter-bombers, taking advantage of clearing weather, hit six important North Korean bridges. Three bridges were de stroyed and two damaged alone on the rail line from Kanggye to Huichon, deep in Northwest Korea. Mustangs, Shooting Stars and Thunderjets also cut the tracks in 14 spots along the same line. Supply Dumps Hit Other U.N. aircraft struck at enemy transportation and sup ply dumps, destroying a road bridge, nine gun positions, 10 troop bunkers and other targets. Ground action slowed to a near stop. Fighting all but ceas ed for Old Baldy hill on the West-Central Front, with the Al lies and the Reds each holding helf the strategic height. The Communists fired only 2,701 rounds of artillery and; mortar across the front Wednes-! day, the lowest total since June 6. The Allies repelled Red probes all across the front. Thurtday. July 24, 1952 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Good Neighbor Policy At Times Means Work Houston, Tex. CU.R) W hen they speak of being good neigh bors in one small area of Hou ston they mean more than just chatting over the backyard fence. Being a good neighbor some times means putting in hours of extra work. ' For example, when the Joneses go on vacation, . the next-door Browns take care of both lawns. When the Leonard Lamza's are away overnight, perhaps the E. G. Williams will see that the garbage can is put out for the trash man in the morning. The neighborliness extends along the entire 10600 block of Fairfax street in suburban Jacin to City. Families on both sides of the street in that block have formed the 10600 club. . Every resident of the block has the keys to at least two other nearby resident homes and when those two are out of town, ill or otherwise disposed, the "good neighbor" takes over feeding the pets, carrying out the trash and manicuring the lawn or watering flowers.
