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.

Honolulu U.R) -A man who
is stumping for a calendar plan
of his own said today the world
is in danger of getting a new
type of calendar which would
eliminate New Year's Day and
have four Fridays the thirteenth.
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-

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

bomber would try to stay as far
as possible from Nike's terri

The Nike is a quiet neighbor,
too. Soldiers drill with .dummy

and no fuel. The real . missile
lies buried far underground.

The Army tries to compromise
when defense needs' conflict
with local needs. At Fairfield,

designated for a junior league
