Public Relations Informs on How Missile Works Eight Adult Evening Classes Slated Here o o Monday said one of his primary interests at the session would be investigating the legal aspects of the proposed "Metropolitan dis trict" for the 'coordination and consolidation on'sewer and wat er problems in the valley. Lowry, who begins his first term in Oregon's upper house. succeeding Sen. Ben Day who did not seek reelection, stated he hopes to get the answers early in the session, in tune to intro duce any legislation which ap pears necessary. May Not Need Legislation , Solution of - the problem, which involves the disposal of sewage and the obtaining of pure municinal water supplies for a semi-rural, semi-urban area be tween Ashland and the Rogue river, may be possible without legislation, he said, but he plans to investigate all aspects oi tne problem. Senator Lowry has agreed to write a weekly report to the people of Jackson county, which will be published in The Mail Tribune. 'I'm no journalist, he said, "hut when I was campaigning I said I thought it was the duty of elected representatives to lfppn th neonle informed. I'll do my best." Seeks Committee Jobs The freshman senator said his requests to Senate President El mo Smith, John Day, for com mittee assignments included spots on the taxation, agricult ure. judiciary, natural resourc es and labor ana industries committees, and he added that he has reason to believe he may get one or more of the commit tee assignments he desires. Some of the legislative prob lems in which Lowry is inter ested. and which he feels are of importance to the people in this area, include water resourc es, as described in a recent re port by the state Water Re sources committee; the ton-mile truck tax. which may come be fore the legislature for revision; highway construction matters, gas tax revision, and a tax pro oosal which would benefit lum ber mill operators in the area. This proposal would call for use of an average cold deck inven tory for tax purposes, rather than the inventory on hand Jan. 1 of each year.

Willard E. Edwards, a Hawaii engineer who has been working for adoption of his perpetual calendar for the past 14 years, said United Nations action on. a reformed and imnroved calen dar might be launched early in Force for World Calendar "And," Edwards said, "there's a million dollar outfit, known as the World Calendar Association which is doing 'its best to keep its so-called world calendar con stantly in the public and official eye to the exclusion of all other plans. All I want is equal con sideration and comparison for my perpetual calendar, and have written to Dr. Dag Ham- marskjold, secretary-general of the U.N., asking for assurance that I will get fair treatment Both Edwards' calendar and that of his rival want to replace the present Gregorian system of keening track of the days, months and years, a system whifh snmi sav has become un wieldy and unpractical from rr.nrlorn liwinff Roth nCW PrO- posals are for an international fixed civil calendar of iz montns and equal quarters of 91 days each. Faults Eliminated The differences,- according to Edwards, are in the extent to Vernon Thorpe Named Public Works Leader Vernon Thorpe, director of public works in Medford,' has been reappointed state chairman for Oregon in 1955 for the Amer ican Public Works association. Thorne was informed by tele gram yesterday that Warren A. Coolidge, president of AfWA, had made the appointment, which Thorpe accepted. Thorne will act as the asso ciation's representative in Ore- eon The APWA includes Offi cials in the whole field of public works. The organization is now in the midst of drawing up na tional .standards to be used as public works references which each proposal goes toward eliminating tne alleged tauits ot the present system. : Edwards says his calendar will do everything that the world calendar would do and still keep New Year's Day as well as elim inate all "Black Fridays." ' Under his perpetual calendar, Edwards said, Sunday , always would be a day of rest. For in stance, the first and the 15th of the month would " always fall on a week day making it easy to meet those traditional pay roll and payment dates without calendar juggling. - Year-End Day u On the world calendar the 1st and 15th would fall on Sunday four times a year, and 'New Year's would be eliminated in favor of & Year-end Day which would come between a Saturday and a Sunday. , Edwards' new Year Day. would also be a day apart from the dates on the cal endar, , but it would come oe tween a Sunday and Monday and -actually would be the first dayO of the year. Another feature of Edwards plan is that his calendar breaks with tradition and makes Mon day the first day oi me wee.

Army puouc relations mew on nomsTipnnlp that having a Nike base nearby makes them less likely than ever to De sougm out as a target by the enemy. A bomber would try to stay as far as possible from Nike's terri tory. ' . , . The Nike is a quiet neighbor, too. Soldiers drill with .dummy missiles containing no explosive and no fuel. The real . missile lies buried far underground. Snmi tirotestine women at Westport, Conn., admitted their chief concern was having laie soldiers around to distract their daughters. - The Army tries to compromise when defense needs' conflict with local needs.
