SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. February 1, 1955 'Saltless' Sea Water Use Seen In United States in Near Future Washington U.R) American engineers believe the day is near when sea water made fresh will be widely used by farms, indus tries, and communities in the United States and perhaps other countries. - - The trick is to find a cheap way of removing salt from sea water on a big scale. Current methods cost too much, except for special use aboard ships or on desert islands. Intense Work Under Way Intense work on this problem has been under way. in the United States during the last 2V4 years under a five-year research program for which Congress ap propriated $2,000,000. A second . five-year program will probably be necessary, it is believed. United States ex perts also believe that by the end of the second program, if not before, the sea ' will ' be a practical source of water uffi ciently free of salt for irriga tion,, factory use, and community needs in the United States. Deserts May Bloom After that, providing present expectations are borne out, it may become possible to use sea water to make deserts bloom in the United States, the Middle East and elsewhere. U.S. research is aimed at im proving methods long used on a small scale. One of these is compression-distillation. It is 15 times more efficient than straight boiling. But the cost, counting the investment in equipment, is about $1.50 per 1000 gallons ($500 per acre foot). David S. Jenkins, head of the U.S. project, and his col leagues are shooting for 30 cents per 1000 gallons. "That's still too expensive for most practical purposes, but we figured that if we could bring the costs down that far, we would know we were getting somewhere. We would know it was worth while to continue,' Jenkins said. The initial 30-cent goal is ex pected to be reached by the end of the first five-year program Needs of Future Great In the United States to say nothing of other areas less fa vored by nature, the answer will be badly needed in the future, engineers say. For example, a California com munity now getting its water at 10 or 15 cents per 1000 gallons would not consider paying a higher price for desalinated wa Speakers Scheduled By Mining Council Mrs. Myrtle P. Lee, curator of the Jacksonville Museum, will speak on "Mining in the early days of Jackson county," and Attorney Bruce Manleyjwill talk on "Manganese," at the North western Mining Council, -Inc., meeting to be held Thursday at 8 p.m., in the auditorium of the county courthouse. In announcing the forthcom ing meeting, President Frank DeSouza said it is hoped to have a good turnout as the speakers' topics and the panel discussion which will follow will be of con siderable importance to all who are interested in the area's min ing history or prospects for fu ture development.; ; I1-!1-1 '.uirw .'.'....;'!!JJJ-:-:A -w:: m r rr iMMiBffiRii ter. But California, which is still growing in population and in dustry, is expected to reach the limits of its normal water sup ply by 1975. The time may soon come, therefore, when that California community will be glad to get aemmerauzed water at 20 to 30 cents per 1000 gallons.' In some other places in the United States the problem is even more pressing. A great deal of Arizona farmland depends for irrigation on underground water which seeps down from irriga tion of higher land. Originally used on high-value crops, the water has become increasingly mineralized over the years and now can be used only on salt resistant crops of low value. eventually it will be too saltv to be used even for that pur pose. 'Air Superiority1 Plane Undergoing Flight Tests I Burbank, Calif. (U.R) A sleek, compact "air superiority fighter,'' unofficially rerjorted capable of speeds up to 1500 miles per hour, is undergoing tests by the Air Force under a strict confidential rating accord ing to Lockheed Aircraft Corp. officials. While the aircraft company said it was common knowledge there were two prototypes of the jet plane, known as the F104, undergoing tests and' that' an order has been placed for an un disclosed quantity of the fighters. neither the Air Force nor Lock heed was able to release details or photographs of the craft. - Around Hollywood r -oh Aline Mosby Famous Trichologist Tells Truth About Saving And Improving Hair This new .method of home treatment for saving and grow ing thicker hair will be demon strated in Medford, Oregon, Fri day only, February 4, 1955.' These private individual dem onstrations will be held at the Jackson Hotel on Friday only, February 4, 2 pan.' till 9 p.m. Oklahoma City, Feb. 2 In an interview here today D. Russell Collins, internationally famous trichologist and director of the toiuns nair ana ocaip experts, Inc., said "There are 18 different scalp disorders that cause most men and women to lose hair. Using common sense, a person must realize no one tonic or so oalled cure-all could correct all the disorders," he explained. GUARANTEED . "The Collins firm, recognizing that most people are skeptical of claims that hair can be grown on balding heads, offers a guar antee," Collins said. :. Once a person avails them selves to the Collins treatment his skepticism immediately dis appears. To insure this, we offer this guarantee. "If you are not completely satisfied with your hair progress in the very first 30 days your money will be re turned." HOPELESS CASES DISCOURAGED First the Collins specialists are quick to tell hopeless cases that they cannot be helped. But the "hopeless" cases -are .few. Only if a man is completely, shiny bald is he in this lost cat egory. If there is fuzz, no matter how light, thin, or colorless, the Col lins firm can perform wonders. - Everyone is given a complete, private examination to deter mine the condition of his scalp, and cause for his hair trouble. FREE EXAMINATIONS This examinationis very thorough and highly technical, it requires 20 to 30 minutes. There is no charge for this ex amination and no appointment is necessary. After the examina tion .he is told the required length of treatment and how much it will cost. After starting treatment, he makes regular reports s to the Collins firm in Oklahoma City, and a. trichologist will return to check his progress periodically. To spread the opportunity of normal, healthy hair to the thousands who are desperately looking for help, the Collins firm is sending specialists to various cities throughout the United States to conduct exami nations and start home treat ment. NO CURE ALL "We have no cure-all for slick, shiny baldness.'! Collins em phasizes. "If there is fuzz, the root .is still capable of creating hair and we can perform what seems to me a miracle. There is one thing Collins wants to be certain every man and woman knows. If a' reces sion appears at the temples or a spot begins to show ut on the crown of the head, there is something wrong and it should be given immediate attention. HAIR FOR LIFETIME "If clients follow our direc tions during treatment, and after they finish the course, there is no reason why they will not have hair all the rest of their lives." Collins said. "Our firm is defintelv- behind this treat ment, it all depends on the in dividual client's faithful observa tions of a few simple rules. HOW'S YOUR HAIR? If it worries yon call Trichol ogist M. C. Stanley at the Jack son Hotel in Medford, Oregon on Friday Only, February 4, 2 p.m. till 9 p.m. The public is invited. You do not need an ap pointment. The examinations are private and yon will not be em barrassed or obligated in any way. , References: Financial, F i r t Nat'l. Bank and Trust Co., of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Paid adv. By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) The most cameras ever in use on one net. ymr'- oio,H;ion program will be ,yi ,.?-A 1.-. Oscar nomina tions Feb. 12, with the screens catch ing everything from disap pointed losers in nightclubs to the makeup less press. The A e a ft- emy oi'ivxocion Picture Arts and sciences m past years mereiy issued mimeograpnea lists oi tne 120 nominees to the press. The telecast, fflamnur and excitement were saved for the night the final winners were revealed. Rut this season, because the Academy needs the money, TV is lending another helping hand to the movies and NBC will televise the nominations for the first time. ; . ' " "The nominations show will have a news feeling, to make it the opposite f r&m the glamor ous awards night in March," ex plained NBC's Alan Hanley, who has the staggering job of pro ducing and directing the show. ' To make the complicated pro gram exciting, possible nominees will be rounded up and spotted next to remote control cameras in the glamour spots of the cinema city Ciro's, Ramon off 's and the CJocoanut Grove. NBC will use 18 cameras, which Hanley thinks is a record for a one-network show. The engineers for the program num-; ber 100 with another 150 tech--nicians working behind scenes. He ; estimates the total number of persons involved in the 1V hours show will be approximate ly 700. . "We ' won't know any of the nominees until the names are re leased by the Price-Waterhouse accounting firm on the pro gram," Hanley said, r- "A list of nominees will be televised from our main studios to the nightclubs where a hostess some - movie star will read the list and present the nom inees, if present. "No liquor allowed on the tables," he added. "They'll be eating dinner." ' Back in NBC's Rnrhnn v dioswill be another . party of nominees witn Jack Webb acting as master-of -ceremonies, aided by Bob Hope. We reporters who annually cover the event in our working clothes, quickly and un watched, will have to comb our hair and stick around for an hour and a half. The TV cameras will show the nress at Inno tahie busy- with telephones and type writers reporting tne affair. "We won'f have the reporters wear make-un this is 9 riAnre show," Hanley said. Clips from 20 films that he hopes will include the TinminDoc will be on hand so they can.be graDDea and put on the air. "I hate to think of that night at a quarter to six when 300 people POUT into that stnrUn he sighed. .
