No Dead Beats Once again the city's firemen have proven that Medford has one of the best small-city fire depart ments in the state. Routed out at 1:12 a.m., they were on the scene of the Pinnacle plant fire last Friday morning within scant moments. Their training paid off in the rapid laying of lines, and of moving in to protect surround ing buildings. The fact that flames were roaring through both attic and basement when they arrived made it impos sible to save the structure, although they almost got it under control before the flames ate through the floor and "blew out" into the main floor with the, force of an explosion, spreading searing flames al most instantly throughout the building. . HTHERE were a couple of close calls on the fire once when the main floor was enveloped in flames as firemen were inside; and once when a wall toppled outwards seconds after six firemen had moved back from the inferno. . '. In four or five hours the flames were under con trol, adjoining buildings had been saved against what at first looked like impossible odds, and the men be gan the task of mopping up. HIEF Gordon Barker reported that later in the day the firemen, weary from the hours of fire fighting were engaged in cleaning up their equip ment to get it ready for any other alarm. But as they did so, the chief said, they kept discussing the fire how they could have fought it better, what they did wrong, what they should have done. You can't go wrong with a crew like that, Chief Barker said proudly. "Not . More power to em. And to their chief, too. E.A. The Season's Here Bob Holmes, one of the really friendly things about the Southern Pacific, was wearing a violent red scarf, a pork-pie hat and a heavy overcoat Sat urday as he tramped the streetsy distributing a few 1955 calendars. Now it's been years and seen Santa Claus one we could believe in, anyway but we have a hunch that if we ever run into the old gentleman again, he'll remind us of Bob. " ; - IT WAS cold Saturday, and we made some comment to that effect. "Yes it is," he answered, "and isn't it wonderful? Makes you feel good. People always are cheerful and friendly at this time of year. I like it, I like it." . -. So do all of us, of course, despite the semi-serious complaints about how awful Christmas shopping is, how nasty the weather is, how the cold weather sets joints and sinuses acM10. ., CWa!it;!, . ; THIS week? is the first in which we've actually felt Christmas really is coming, and this despite the decorations which have been up for weeks and the Christmas carols on the radio. But .the 'chill in the air, the grins on the shoppers and the. mounting excite ment of the small-fry are convincing. Christmas IS a friendly time of year. E.A. Matter of Fact STEVENSON - AND '56 ; Washington Adlai E. Stev enson, according to .th.ose who have seen him at close quarters recently, is a thoroughly re 1 a x e d politi cian sur prisingly relaxed, for a man so given t o agonizing over difficult decisions. His friends Joseph Alsop have a. simple explanation for Stevenson's in tense attitude. Stevenson, they say, has concluded that the dif ficult decision which faces him whether to try again in 1958 is largely out of, his hand?. Moreover, he quite genuinely does not greatly care which way the decision " goes. This attitude springs, in, turn, from Stevenson's analysis of the pol itical situation. In the first place, the Demo cratic leader has told friends that he is assuming that Presi dent Eisenhower will run again. Some of those around him think perhaps wishfully - that Eis enhower will bow out. They point to'the bad trouble which Eisenhower will surely have in the next two years, and to the evidence .. that both the Presi dent and -especially Mrs. Eisen hower want a few years of un troubled rest. But it is obvious that the pres sure on Eisenhower to run will be extraordinarly heavy in 1956, if ony because the Republican party looks more and more as though it would come apart at the seams if he withdrew. Stev enson accepts the majority view that this pressure will be so heavy that - Eisenhower cannot possibly resist it. In the second place, unlike some wishful Democrats, Stev enson acknowledges that Eisen hower is still remarkably popu lar. He has told friends that Eis enhower could beat any Demo cratic candidate as of today . Monday, December 13, 1954 . ' a dead-beat in the bunch." years since we've actually By Stewart Alsop and he . made no exceptions. Moreover, bar a depression, ter rible trouble abroad, ' or the to tal, visible disintegration of the Republican party, Eisenhower is likely to remain a most formi dable candidate two years from now perhaps still an unbeat able candidate. TN THIS situation or so his friends purport to believe Stevenson would not be unhap py to sit this one out. He has not said so in so many , words. But his attitude suggests that he will not object strongly if some one else takes on the job of being Eisenhower's sacrific ial lamb. Stevenson is only 54, his friends point put, aid he might do far better to wait until 1960. This, it should be said, is the relaxed Stevenson attitude to ward 1956 as interpreted by his friends. Those who are not his friends notably some of those close to former President Tru man say in effect that this apparent, indifference to 1956 is all a cleverly contrived front. They point to the election of Paul Butter of Indiana as Na tional Democratic . ' chairman This, they claim, was a brilliant ly executed coup by Stevenson. The election of Butler was sup posedly managed by former chairman Stephen , Mitchell. Truman openly opposed Butler, while Stevenson remained osten sibly above the battle. But, ac cording to some Trumanites who are in a less forgiving mood than the former Presi dent himself - Stevenson ac tually master-minded the whole operation, including the deal to get southern support for Butler by dropping the loyalty oath. At any rate, Butler's election showed who is really boss in the Democratic party and gave Stev enson a big leg-up for 1956. This was accomplished without di rectly committing Stevenson and without a break with Truman. As one member of the anti-Stevenson . underground remarked, "you've got to hand it to the guy." . In the same way, two contras- Motive of Chinese In Jailing Airmen May Soon Be Lea rued By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Foreign Analyst One of the big mysteries of the cold war may be cleared up soon in Peip ing. ' The mystery is the motive of the Chinese C o m m u nists in sending 11 u niformed United States Air Force men to prison as spies. The charges Charles McCann Clte.l Dy xne Chinese Reds, and enlarged upon by Soviet Russia Delegate Jacob A. Malik in the United Nations, were so flimsy that they amazed the delegates who heard them. It is simply incredible that the Communists really believed the fliers in uniform, wearing Air Force insigna, flying in a four motored plane could have been spies, .v ' Hence the question arises ' why, at this particular time, the Peiping regime deliberately made .the airmen its victims. Reds Pressuring U.S. It seems highly probably that the Chinese Communists want something and are putting pres sure on the United States to get it. That means they are using the airmen as pawns. The question is what the Peip ing regime wants. Everything in the situation is naturally specu lative. But two chief possibil ities have been suggested: 1. The Peiping government wants to force the United States, in- negotiating for the release of the airmen and for the freeing of the many other U.N. military personnel still held 'captive to give it some kind of diplomatic Is That So? Go to grass! is an expression which was handed down to us from an English play, written almost 400 years ago. But did you know that . . AH the world's great food grains wheat, rice and corn, the principal ones, together with barley, rye, oats and millet are grasses? Bamboo, too. Besides the kernel of the grain, the stem and leaf too are basic t6 human life: animals, upon which man depends, for a large part of his daily food,-feed on these plants. ;. Man's cultivated plants are much more dependent upon man really than are his domestic ani mals. By cross-breeding the. plants so they would - become larger and not shed their seeds prematurely before the harvest, man has changed their wild na ture so profoundly that with his demise, his cultivated plants would disappear with him. The most concentrated form in which nature supplies food is in seeds. The cradle of mam's civiliza tion, was in three' great 'river deltas Nile, Euphrates, and Indus. Here," grains then, about 10,000 years ago, were the found ation stones of man's civiliza tion. From these three early cultures, our EuropeanAmeri can civilization stemmed, includ ing the "glory, that was Greece.", Judging from i early art, the ting versions of Stevenson's widely advertised withdrawal from political activity are being put forward. The anti-Stevenson-ites say it is simply smart pol itics, since it will make front runner Stevenson less vulner able. Friends of Stevenson have another explanation that he badly needs the money his law practice will bring him. . IT HAS been costing Stevenson upwards of $25,000 a year all outgo and no income to maintain his Chicago office. In the next 12 months, in partner ship with the brilliant younger lawyer, William Wirtz, Steven son hopes to recoup this loss. He already has several lucrative clients notably the giant (and political controversial) Radio Corporation of America. Thus two pictures emerge of Stevenson scheming for the nomination, and of Stevenson the private citizen intent on re couping his personal ..fortunes, and indifferent to politics. Cur iously enough, both pictures are probably fairly accurate.-' In short, Stevenson really does have strong doubts about the wisdom of taking on Eisen hower a second time. As of to day, he really would! "riot 'be heartbroken ' if the nomination went to ahother.; But he wants to be in the best possible situa tion to get the nomination if he decides he wants it. And he knows he cannot nossiblv duck the nomination if the party wants mm. This rather commex interpretation of Stevenson's mo tives and intentions , seems - in character, for the Democratic leader is not a simple man.

Peiping wants to get the United States and other Western Allies into a big diplomatic con ference on the status of the Chi nese Nationalist government, American aid to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, Korea and East Asia in general. If these possibilities worked out, the Peiping government might believe they would lead eventually to its admission to the U.N.. . Angry Over Formosa The Chinese v Reds certainly are angry over the situation in Formosa, and they may be some what worried. " They talk of "liberating" For mosa, the stronghold of Chiang's Nationalist government" But they know that if they attack it, they will have to fight the United States. t It has been suggested that the Peiping government might be willing to see Formosa put un der a sort of international status, which would keep Chiang from attacking the mainland. May Want Students Back, : It has been suggested also that one motive of the Reds in im? prisoning the 11 airmen was to force the United States to re turn the Chinese students now held in this country. Some of these students ' specialized - in atomic energy.. The ..United States doesn't want them to take home to Peiping and Moscow the secrets they learned. Most of the students do not want to go home anyway. V.. Right now, it. is up .to U.N, Secretary General Dag Ham- marskjold to find out Peiping s price for freeing of the airmen and of other Allied prisoners The answer should not be long in coming. , By Eugene Burns Ranger-Naturalist Egyptians quite likely invented the manually-drawn plow; the Babylonians "went a step further and 'made it into a seeding ma chine by using- a funnel-like ob ject to drop the seeds benind the plow point. The Spaniards introduced this primitive plow to Mexico about 1550, and thence 'it spread to the Indians who were merely, using a pointed stick. The modern mould-board plow was invented about 1800 by the man who wrote the American constitution. and became its third president Thomas Jefferson. Cattle First Used With Plow - Cattle', - rather "than horses, were first used to draw the plow. The oldest draft animal, aside from the ox and man, was the donkey.

To prevent the .cow, from "holding up her milk", the Egyp tians employed a trick still used by some farmers r "a calf was kept m front of the cow. . : The use of yeast to make bread "light" was perhaps first discovered m Egypt. The mix ing of yeast dough (sour dough) with fresh wheat flour starts a ferment which makes gas bub bles and causes the dough to rise and become porous. - When baked, the heat kills the yeast and so stops fermentation, pro; aucing what each cook fondly hopes is a light,-. soft, - spongy bread.

The major change in the com plexion of the college freshman classes this year is the big in crease in the number of students who want to be school teachers. President Raymond Walters of the University1 of Cincinnati re ported last night that his 35th annual survey of college and uni versity enrollment showed an in crease of 6.8 in the number of full time students. He said there was a 9.7 per cent increase in part time students, making a 7.6 per cent gain in the college en rollment. 1 Walters said a survey of 846 universities and four-yelr col leges showed there are 1,383,750 full-time students. - ..

RUBLE Maico-Trained Hearing Aid Technician ft "v- . Ji.'i' JJ - -'' 1 , r O Who Is Donald W. Ruble? He owns the Malco Hearing Service, one of Portland's most mod ern and best equipped hearing aid offices located at 415 S.W. Broad way (next door to the Liberty theatre.) He has been fitting and servicing the hard of hearing with Maico instruments exclusively for the past nine years. 0 Can He Fit Hearing Aids Properly? Ruble is a factory trained Maico technician, having passed the examination required by the Medical Accoustic Instrument Comp any on hearing and hearing problems in order to successfully un derstand and fit Maico Hearing Aids. The other members of his staff also are Maico trained technidaas, successfully completing. . a refresher, course every year to keep up with the new develop-. " ments and 'advancements made in the hearing aid field. At pres- 1 ent these technicians include Mr. J. R. Culver, Ellworth. Breen and . Helen Cabe. - . ' O What Hearing Aids Does Ruble Dispense? -: Maico, the most trusted and respected name in the hearing aid field. Over 90 per cent of all hearing tests made in the world are made on Maico built instruments, including every ear specialist ,jn Oregon and Southern Washington, public schools and schools for special education in teaching the deaf, the University of Ore gon Medical School and many others. HUNDREDS of hard of hear " ing persons in this area wear Maico bearing aids. : . -. -. O Do Maico Hearing Aids Require Batteries? , : ' No. Maico hearing aids are transistor instruments, using tiny energy cells the size of a dime and operate for less than a cent a day or about $3.00 per year. Maico aids are the world's smallest, weighing . only -an ounce, and are worn in a lady's hair, with no cord on the neck and positively no clothing noise, or as a man's tie clasp. O Are Maico Hearing Aids Sold On Terms? Yes. Your old hearing aid will serve as a down payment, or an'"' extremely small down payment will suffice. Monthly payments run about the cost of batteries in a vacuum tube aid. Low bank . rates are available. I O Can Ruble Make Everybody Hear? No.' Many hard of hearing people can't be benefitted by hearing aids. He will test your hearing and will tell you to what extent you can be helped by a hearing aid. But hearing aids must be fitted for one to understand. Trying to hear on an .aid that doesn't fit is like trying to see with someone else's glasses; 0 Does Ruble 'Charge for Hearing Tests? : No. He will test your hearing without cost or obligation. If a hear ing aid won't benefit you, or if you decide you dont want an aid, - he won't try to high-pressure you into buying an aid. If you can't meet Ruble at the time and place indicated above, fill out ' the coupon below and mail to him and he will call at your home for an examination of your hearing. Stop your frustration and embarrass ment with good hearing.' A hard of hearing person is a lonesome person and is often a problem for his family. . Donald W.
