store is currently enlarging its
quarters to include a separate
hay shed in the rear, according
to Mrs. Harry Stebler.
The structure will be 34 by 34
feet and will hold baled hay,
giving the new main building
more space for other commod
ities. The main building, which
was moved into the middle of
May, is located at the inter
section of the Old Pacific high
way and Main st. It is 38 by 70
feet, of aluminum material.
The new location features
front and side loading docks.
The store features grains, hay,

The second filbert moth spray
should be applied immediately,
according to C. B. Cordy, county
hortlculturalist.
Recommended application is
3 pounds of arsenate lead to each
100 gallons of solution, the agent
said. A smaller spray application
would be a heaping tablespoon
to each 3 gallons.
This is the last application for
the moth this year, he added,
and it should be thoroughly ap
plied, soaking all the leaves and
nuts. The spray controls the
worms, which destroy the nut
portion.

Staff Outnumbers Students
At Australian
Canberra. Australia (U.R)
An unusual type of university is
growing up in Australia's na
tional capital, which 40 years
ago was just so many acres of
sheep country.
Unlike the country's five oth
er universities located in the
different state capitals, the Aus
tralian National university has
its students outnumbered five-to
one by the faculty and research
staff.
The National univesity is es
sentially a research institution.
It now has an academic staff of
about 200 and less than 40
pupils. And the university in
tends to keep the proportion that
way, because it is to be the coun
try's top research center.
University Part of Plan
A university was part of the
original plan for Canberra de
signed in 1909 by a Chicago ar
chitect, Walter B. Griffin. But
it was not until 1948 that parha
ment passed a bill to establish
the National University. Actual
work started in 1949, when ad
ministrative headquarters mov
ed into a temporary building on
the site allotted the university.
One of the National Univer
sity's purposes is to provide fa
cilities for star graduates irom
other universities to do their
post-graduate work in Australia
instead of going overseas, in
many cases Australia's best
brains and talent never came
back. That's why the student
minority at ANU is made up of
honor graduates from other
Australian universities.
Four Schools
Present students are studying
for doctorates in philosophy, and
the university expects to turn
out its first Ph.D s by the end ox
1953.
A well-known nuclear physi
cist, Prof. Marcus Oliphant, is
the present acting vice-chancellor
of the National university.
He took over when the first vice-
chancellor, Sir Douglas Copiana
left Australia v to become high
commissioner to Canada.
The National ' University has
four schools: medical researcn,
nrial sciences. Pacific studies
and physical sciences. The last is
the "glamour" school because of
Nashville. Tenn. (U.R) Post
master Lewis Moore proclaimed
"sport shirt day" in his domain
because he said it's time males
follow the distaff lead in cooler
summer working attire. How
ever, Moore restricted his stamp
tellers to sober, solid colors be
cause "I don't want them to out
shine the stamps."
co
University
its association with atomic re
search, which may mean tre
mendous changes for Australia
because of recent uranium dis
coveries. Will Develop Research
The school of Pacific studies
will develop research into Paci
fic anthropology, demography,
economics, geography, history
and political science.
The government has spent
about 3,000,000 ($6,720,000 on
the National University so far.
Running costs for the current
fiscal year are estimated at
600,000 ($1,344,000) which
does not includeU.000,000 ($2,
240,000) spent on buildings, lab
oratories and equipment. Pres
ent plans for setting up the uni
versity call for more than 4,
000,000 ($8,960,000) to be spent
before the National University
can consider itself "established."
