1 , . i .... PtFW0 feELEASE of Americans chief American S!1 Henry Cabot Lodge (left) presents to UN t Secy. Gen. Dag Hammarskjold in New York a resolution ; demanding that Red China release immediately 11 U S airmen jailed on "spy" charges in violation of the Korean armistice. The resolution calls on the secretary general to make by the means most appropriate in his judgment continuing and unremitting efforts to obtain the release oi the airmen." Council Denies Sewer Connection in Area Of New City School The Medford city coupcil last . night denied an application by representatives of the Garfield subdivision to connect to the new sanitary sewer line to the Jefferson grade school, now un der construction south of the city. The action was taken in view of a special committee's recom mendation, which stated that the proposed subdivision is not contiguous to the city, nor is it a fully-fledged sanitary, district, Harold Frye, committee chair man, reported that such applica tions pose the problem of giving utility services to outside city residents, who then would have no desire or need to be annexed to the city. Annexation Advised Mayor D. L. Flynn stated that the representatives should con eider annexation to the city to obtain the service, and that the city would cooperate in achiev ing the status. In other business, Earl Miller, police and traffic - committee head, recommended that . 21 parking spaces on the span and approaches to the Main st. bridge be metered. This was ap proved, and the meter rental payment plan adopted as no spe cific funds were budgeted for the purpose. The meters will have two-hour . limits. A sewer rate ordinance was adopted. It will make the rates conform with the new water rate schedule. City Supt. Robert Duff said the new sewer sched ule will "not appreciably change the present revenues." Seek Certification The city superintendent was authorized to join with the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce in seeking to expe dite U.S. government action on granting a permanent operating certificate to Southwest Air ways, which has been pending for some time. . Authority was also given to sign requests for federal aid and project applications with the Civil Aeronautics adminis tration. Local funds are matched with federal on the1 projects. The council also appointed At torney Warren Lesseg as city judge pro tem till Jan. 1 during the absence of James Main; ap proved the annual audit by Ice land Knox; okayed fuel ' pay ments for the Ground Observa tion corps station under Civil Defense accounts; , approved curbs and gutters for, George Goodman's property on Ninth st., from the alley to Central ave., and curbs and gutters in front of the Aaron Ayres prop erty on North Groveland ave.; approved a 10-year lease 'with Robert von der Hellen for air port space; rented airport ware house space for $120 annually, and approved of the Medford Meat company's facilities under the new meat inspection ordi nance. (See story on Page 1), Employment Changes Said Less Than Usual Washington (U.R) Unem ployment rose by 79,000 and em ployment dropped 410,000 last month.. But top government econo mists found this report encour aging because the changes, al though unfavorable, were less than usually occur in November. In a joint statement today, Sec retary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks and Secretary of -Labor James P. Mitchell said the re port reflected a "further im provement in the job situation." Total unemployment rose to 2,893,000 compared with 2,741, 000 in October. Employment dropped to 61,731,000 as against 62,141,000 in October. A 675,000 gain in the number j of non-agricultural jobs was more than offset by a loss of 1,805,000 farm jobs. Wednesday, December 8, 1954 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Rattlesnake's Age Determined by Bones Los Angeles (U.R) Bones de termine the age of a rattlesnake, not rattles. Bayard . -Brattstrom, UCLA zoologist, f : said the - "growth rings" in the bones of the rattler tell how old it is. The rings oc cur throughout the snake's skele tal system. Brattstrom uses a small bone from the head of the snake, in which the rings are discernible, to determine age. As for te rattles, said Bratt strom, a rattlesnake a3ds a new one each time it sheds skin. This occurs several times a year when the snake is young. .Older snakes often lose some of their rattles by accident, he said. Rattlers usually live to be about 15 years of age. , Of all the private cars owned in the U.S., 73 per cent are used for, traveling to jobs, conducting business, or doing the daily farm chores. Quarantine Declared On Khapra Beetle Salem (U.R) The Oregon State Department of Agriculture has declared a quarantine, ef fective at once, against certain counties in Arizona, California and New Mexico in an effort to prevent introduction of the Khapra beetle into Oregon. ' Counties included in the quar- j antme are Maricopa, Mohave, Pima, Pinal and Yuma in Ari zona; Curry and Roosevelt in New Mexico; and Fresno, Im perial, Kern, Kings, Riverside, Tulare and San Francisco in California. Introduction of this insect pest found in the United States last year for the first time into Oregon would result in great fi nancial loss to agriculture and related interests, the department said. The beetle is a pest pri marily oi stored products. ' The Presidio of San Francisco is one of the oldest and most im portant Army headquarters in me united states. 4 S SAVE UP TO ih4 4 ON A "JetJrTH AHTHMATir rirrreir 3 DELUXE RANGE mms COMPARE OTHERS AT $359.95 $25950 Wednesday Night I IIHHhin 38-Inch Washable Cora tow Just Received Hew Shipment of All Colors Corduroy Remnants Reg. $1.19 yd.
