'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

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.; ;

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.

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

pointment. The examinations are
private and yon will not be em
barrassed or obligated in any
way. ,

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
