Council Asks Speedy Action on Survey of City's Traffic Flow The Medford city council last attempt to obtain runner lnxor- night authorized a request for speedy action on traffic survey to be conducted in cooperation with the state highway commis sion, called for bids on five street paving projects, and heard a request for a municipal code for meat inspection. Frank Runtz, chairman of the council streets and roads com mittee, reported to the council that State Engineer R.' H. Bal dock has informed the city that the state cannot take part in the traffic survey before April or May of next year. Asks Agreement At the same time, Runtz pre sented a recommendation from his committee that the city enter into an agreement with the state for such a survey. The survey, to study origin and destination of traffic and other information, would precede an off-street parking survey, Runtz said. Mayor D. L. Flynn pointed out to the council that the best time for a survey of city traffic would be between September and De cember. He added that he would OPEN TILL 9 fM.

Light Approved It was also reported at the meeting that the state highway commission has completed a sur vey on installation of a traffic signal light at the intersection of Fir and Main streets and has ap proved installation of the light on a cooperative basis. The city-superintendent was authorized to contact the state to complete preparations for in stallation of the light. The coun cil was also informed that the state survey showed that no im provement in synchronization of traffic lights could be made on Main st. because of the short dis tance between lights. Bids were called for August 17 on five paving projects. They included West Eighth St., from King to Laurel streets; J st., from; 12th to Monroe streets Elm st., from Main to 10th streets; Jackson st., from McAn drews rd. to Columbus aye., and Westerlund dr., from Barneburg rd. to Groveland ave. The request for a municipal meat inspection code was pre sented to the council by O. L. Brown, owner of the Medford Meat company. The proposed code would include voluntary application for inspection, issu ance .of certificates of compli ance with the ordinance, re imbursement of the city by ap plicants for salary and other in cidental expenses of inspectors assigned to plants. Committee To Study The proposed ordinance was assigned by Mayor D. L. Flynn to a committee including coun oilmen Harold Frye, Stanley Jones Jr., and Jack Fitzgerald for study and a report back to the council. The city attorney was in structed to draw up an ordin ance for leasing of a building at the municipal airport to the Civil Air Patrol for a period of five years at a rate of $1 per year. The council approved a street lighting survey for Cottage st.. and Willamette ave., which call ed for replacing of some lights with brighter lights. Adoption of the survey would insure better lighting for the areas involved, Councilman Fitzgerald said.

U.R) Mrs. Charlotte Uray has gone through two collecting hobbies already and has a king-sized start on a third. After giving up on handker chiefs and exhausting the pos sibilities of salt and pepper shakers, the51-year-old grand mother hit upon collecting play ing cards. She now has 32,000 cards, ac cumulated in trades and pur chases from such scattered points as Spain and Australia. Mrs. Uray, who has 100 com plete decks and values the col lection at $1,000, was recently elected president of the Inter national Playing Card Collec tors' Club. Some of her prize specimens are a faro deck once used on a gambling ship, a German deck 100 years old and a deck from England commemorating the re cent coronation of Queen Eliza beth II. Course in Marriage Advocated by Judge Cleveland, O. (U.R) A spe cial course in the problems of marriage ought to be compul sory before couples can take out a license to ge married, ac cording to Common Pleas Judge Arthur H. Day. "Ohio grants licenses to do many things, most of which re quire some preparation . . . " he said, "but the most important license we issue the marriage license is in no way safe guarded by the state other than to ascertain that the parties are single, have passed a blood test, are not incompetents, and can pay for a license." Man Has To Turn To Primitive Device Akron, O. (U.R) It seems that with all man's progress he usually has to turn back to some more primitive device to learn how to operate the new one. That was illustrated here re cently when blimp pilots, tak ing ground training at Kent State University, were carted out to Goodyear's Wingfoot Air port to fly balloons. The reasoning is that in learn ing to handle the gas bags, which are 40 feet in diameter and hold 35,000 cubic feet of helium, the future blimp pilots will acquire the knack of finding favorable air currents and learn how to maneuver by dropping ballast or getting rid of the gas. Reunion of Cicadas Brings Much Singing Bloomfield Hills, Mich. (U.R) A family reunion held once every 17 years was marked by plenty of singing recently when thousands of cicadas emerged from their underground nests near here. The singing was led by male insects, since the females dont utter a sound. Cicadas commonly called 17-year locusts resemble grass hoppers. They remain under ground for 17 years, then emerge for a brief period before dying. Local residents called this brood of cicadas group No. 10. It was one of the largest in the midwest. 1 In their short span above ground the males sang and the dowdy females went about lay' ing their eggs. (D B) 0 - U. ...... . ... I.

The disclosure came when cor respondents demanded to know why more Americans were not available for interviews after being freed. Mere Than Half "We don't want to expose you or anyone else to these boys," an American officer said. "More than half are suffering from TB." Only an hour earlier, Ameri can doctors had refused to reveal how many Americans bad the disease. United Press Staff Correspond ent William Miller said: "It gave Portable Weighing Station Invented Columbus, O. (U.R) In spector U. C. Felty of the Ohio State Highway Patrol has in vented a portable weighing sta tion that is expected to enable local governments tot, enforce highway weight limits without investing in expensive scales. ' Feiiy described the device as four sets of old-fashioned port able truck-weighing scales rolled into one. It can be towed along the highway by a patrol car or jeep, Felty said. Patrolmen using the old port ables, which weighed 87 pounds apiece, had to place a scale be fore the load could be registered. Felty's invention eliminates all the tugging and pulling, be sides the possibility of injury to the patrolman. His unit is op erated by a hydraulic lift that lowers it to the pavement from the jeep-pulled trailer and raises it again. It can weigh all four wheels of a big tandem axle at once. me a sickening, bottomless feet ing in my stomach" to sea the happy, smiling men hobble into the warehouse at Freedom Vil lage, shaking hands with those there to greet them. Reds Changed Minds A weary doctor said he asked man after man: "What's wrong with you?" They replied: TB." Many of the men told doctors they had been scheduled to come back in "Little Switch," but said the Communists changed their minds at the last minute for no apparent reason. "Some of them have been skk for a long, long time," CoL Fred W. Seymore of BelL Calif, in charge of medical treatment at Freedom Village said. Tt is reasonable to assume, at least if I had been the one de ciding who would have been re turned that these men would have definitely returned last April at the time of Tittle Switch.' We must presume that they were sick at that time." WARD'S SPECIAL " .
