SILVER GRILL CAFE 403 East Main St. Medford, Ore. BARBECUED HAM - PORK - BEEF SANDWICHES and DINNERS All Barbecued on Our New Infra Red-Ray Broiler! BREAKFAST - LUNCH - DINNERS Special Waffle Breakfasts Open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. . . 7 a.m. to Midnight Saturdays CLOSED ON SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS Americans Aga in Finding Shade Tree Kent, O. ' (U.R) As part of the post-war rush to the suburbs, Americans are getting acquaint ed again with an old friend the shade tree. For the Davey Tree Expert Co. that spells good news anS good business. The nation's oldest and largest tree-care . company ex pects to plant and prune its way this year to a $9,000,000 volume, or double its 1948 figure. ' "Business has boomed along with the suburban trend and new housing," " said Martin L. Davey, Jr., president. "Then, too the power saw and post-war chemicals for spraying provide better techniques for taking care of trees." From its headquarters here, the company keeps tabs on 1,600 field men, or "tree doctors," raging over 40 states. If a customer wants a syca more, oak or maple for his front lawn, Davely will find one usually buying the tree from a farmer in the area and de liver it. The firm also looks after the tree after re-planting it, thus providmg a type of cradle-to-grave service. -The current 'homeowner taste in trees runs more to smaller ones of varied types than to mas sive trees popular a generation ago. Field men often save trees up rooted by storms. The secret is to place the tree back into posi tion before the roots dry out. Th.e migration to the suburbs and greater tree space by American families is matched by a decentralization of industrial plants. "Industrial firms are getting more tree-conscious .and paying increased attention to their land scaping needs,", said Davey. He added that some people grow so fond of their shade trees that they move them just like household goods on going to a new home. Two pyramids in North Amer ica occupy a larger .ground area than the largest pyramids of an-, cient Egypt, but they are not as high. One, covering three and one half times the area of the Pyramid of Cheops at El Giza, stands at Cholula in Mexico's state of Puebla. The other, Cah- okia mound, rises in the suburbs of East St. Louis, I1L Curiosity Said Vital Non-Biological Need Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Dr.' Donald O. Hebb, psychology pro fesor at Montreal's McGill Uni versity, says curiosity is just as vital a human drive a hunger or sex. . - Hebb, a recent visiting profes sor at University of California, said he disagrees with the com mon theory that man is governed solely by his biological needs food, sex, and physical safety. "In addition to the purely phy sical drives, man shares certain non-biological needs with lower mammals," Hebb said. "Among these are friendship, desire to help others, curiosity novelty and a mild sense of physical danger." , ; Back Seat Driver Warning Suggested ; Philadelphia (U.R) The Keystone Automobile club sug gests a legitimate function for ,the "back seat driver." The club says the person rid ing in the back should call the driver's attention to the hazards of turning his head to talk to hii raveling companions while opr era ting the car. ' - , . . J Edward P. Curran, safety dir rector of the club, says the driver who takes his eyes off the road to gaze at companions for "just a second" is actually driving' blind oyer 58 feet of road at 40 miles per houry 66 feet at 45 and 73 feet at 50. 1 ENDS TONITE!
