baseball commissioner A. B.
: (Happy) Chandler in the Dem-
eratic gubernatorial primary.
o, The returns, mostly from
'touisville and the northern Ken
tucky metropolitan area, gave
Combs 16.892 votes to Chand

tempted to wrest the nomination

heavier than normal.

Grants Pass Scout Tells of
Preparations for 8th World
Jamboree Slated Aug. 18-28
(Editor's Note: The follow
ing article is the first in a
series written by Loran "Sil
ver" Hasselt, Grants Pass Boy
Scout, who is one of two
Scouts from this area attend
ing the Eighth Boy Scout
World Jamboree at Niagara,
Canada.)
By LORAN HASSETT
In the next month I hope that
many of you and 1 can get bet
ter acquainted.
My name is Loran Hassett
(better known to some of the
Scouts in the Council as "Sil
ver."), and I am, with a boy
named Rodger Thompson of
Weed, Calif., to represent the
Scouts and Scouters of Medford,
Ashland, Grants Pass, Cave
Junction, and Northern Califor
nia at the Eighth World Jam
boree at Niagara on the Lake,
Ontario, Canada. I'll be sending
these letters every week.
I graduated from Grants Pass
high school this spring and plan
to go on to OSC and take up en
gineering. My father is a logging
contractor and has a small ranch
specializing in Angus cattle and
Arabian horses.
I've been in Scouting for near
ly nine years and have attained
the ranks of Silver Award in Ex
ploring and Life in Scouting. I
am now a Junior Assistant Scout
Master at the VFW Troop and
Post 22 in Grants Pass.
The Jamboree is a thing of
which I wish we could all be
privileged to partake. There will
be 10,000 Scouts at the Jam
boree with only 1,500 of them
from the United States, who
will be all divided by units into
10 sub-camps in which Scouts
from every nation will be living
intimately.
From this we will be able to
gain first-hand opinions of a
foreign country and get some
opinions of our own about their
countries by way of their de
scriptions. We, from the North
west, will also get to see the
whole northern side of the United
States from Oregon to New
York, as well as some of Canada.
Here are the itinerary and
tours which we will be taking:
Itinerary: Leave Grants Pass
Aug. 7; training session at Mis
soula Aug. 9-11; Chicago, Aug.
12; Washington, D. C, Aug. 13;
New York, Aug. 14-16; Montreal,

arrive home Aug. 31 or Sept. 1.
Tours: Aug. 13 Washington,
D. C: Old Ford theater, U. S.
Treasury, White House, Washing
ton Monument, National Capitol
Building, Arlington, Christ
Church, Mt. Vernon.
Aug. 15-16 New York: Guid

k A OCXS $ il is.. -

Johnsons Reported
In Fair Condition
Mr. and Mrs. Glenn H. John
son, 819 South Central ave.,
both of whom were badly burn
ed following an explosion Fri
day, were in "fair" condition
Saturday, according to attend
ants at Sacred Heart hospital
where both were taken. A Friday
story incorrectly reported them
at another hospital.
Mrs. Johnson's injuries were
reported as critical Friday, and
his as serious. She was " a little
better" . Saturday.
A number of relatives of the
injured couple arrived here Fri
day following the accident. They
came from Seattle, Wash.; An
chorage, Alaska, Bend, Eugene
and elsewhere.
The explosion resulted as
Johnson cut in to an oil drum,
which exploded as the torch ig
nited oil residue inside.
Seattle Man Killed
In Highway Accident
Kelso, Wash. (U.R) William
K. Armstrong, 26, Seattle,-was
killed Friday night when his
car collided with the rear of a
slow moving dump truck a mile
north of here on the Pacific
highway.
Thrown from the car when
it somersaulted into a ditch was
Lottie West, 35, Seattle and Wil
liam Ylinen, 30, Eugene, Ore.
They were takn to Cowlitz gen
eral hospital at Longview.
Police said the car apparently
struck the truck, somersaulted
into a three foot ditch and then
bounced back on the highway
again.
The truck driver, Curley
Knudson, Kelso, Wash., was un
injured according to Cowlitz
county coroner Dr. D. D. Davenport.
By training and experience
with many different kinds of
hearing loss, I have been able
to bring better hearing to hun
dreds. Now I have another
wonderful new hearing aid to
help break through that iron
curtain of deafness.
This is the micro-midget
Sonotone "100."
H is as small as a matchbook
and weighs about one ovnce.
If s not a gadget designed to
attract by just being small. This
is a rea aid to HEARING, with
traditional built-in Sonotone
quality.
When you do business with
Sonotone, you invest in a com
plete hearing service and join
thousands of happy users in a
better hearing program.
A Nkhol's Worth of . . I
Comment On
By HARMAN
United Pre"
Washineton (U.R) Mrs. Wil -
ma Davis was digging through a
stock of forgotten lore at the
Library of Con-
1 gress when she
came upon a
treasure which
had been lost
for years.
Mrs. Davis
is librarian of
the copyright
section and
what she found
is believed, for
sure, to be a
Harman Nichols copy of the
first copyright bill. The original
was printed, but that record
never has been found, either.
What Mrs. Davis found was a
musty old letterpress book. At
the heading of what concerns
copyrights was the notation:
"H. R. 10, 1st Cong., 1st Sess."
In other words, the House of
Representatives, bill No. 10, in
the first session - of the First
Congress. It was offered by Rep.
Benjamin Huntington of Con
necticut on June 23, 1789.
Endi Long Search
Everybody had thought the
historic bit of paper had been
destroyed. The Library of Con
gress had made a continuing
search. So, across the years, had
people at the National Archives,
and those in the office of the
secretary of the Senate.
"It was an accident, really,"
Mrs. Davis said. "I was looking
for. something else. I can't re
member what now."
The copy of the bill, letter
press book and all, was turned
over to George D. Carjv head
legal advisor of the Copyright
Office. He studied it and came
up with an analysis. :
The original copyright bill ap
plied only to books. Copyright
protection since has been extend
ed to such things as sheet music,
newspaper and magazine articles
and the like.
Rights, according to Cary, ex
tended to the author, the book
seller and the printer.
Money for Informers
"Unauthorized printing or im
portation from abroad of pirati
cal copies was prohibited." Cary
said.
Anybody caught violating a
copyright was required to turn
in the illegal book to the copy
right owner, who according to
the lettering of the bill "shall
forthwith make waste paper of
Price Daniel Asks
U. S. Hospital Use
For Dope Adicls
Washington (U.R) Chairman
Price Daniel of a senate judici
ary subcommittee on narcotics
urged Saturday that facilities of
Federal Narcotics hospital be
used to fight the "socially con
tagious" narcotics habit.
The Texas Democrat made the
suggestion to H. Chapman
Rose, chairman of the govern
ment's inter-department com
mittee on narcotics. He said sta
tistics from the surgeon's gen
eral's office show that more
than 500 people have voluntarily
applied but have no hope for
immediate treatment at hospitals
at Lexington, Ky., and Forth
Worth, Tex.
Seeks Information
The public health service,
meanwhile, announced it has
appointed a narcotics specialist
to gather information on the
problems of drug addiction in
states and localities. Dr. Ken
neth W. Chapman, a health
service psychiatrist, was named
to the newly-created post and
will work through health ser
vice regional offices providing
advice on rehabilitation of ad
dicts. Daniel said bed space at Fort
Worth was made available to
518 mental patients last year
compared with 297 narcotic ad
dicts. Long Waiting List
He said the Lexington hos
pital accommodated 110 patients
while it had a waiting list of
"several hundred addicts."
"It is obvious," he wrote Rose,
"(hat if arrangements were made
for treatment of these mental
patients at other institutions,
and if he narcotics hospitals
were used primarily for the pur
pose for which they were estab
lished, all of the more than 500
drug addicts now on the waiting
list could be hospitalized im
mediately." Ex-Creamery Official

ty Creamery Association, died
here yesterday after a lingering
illness.
Williams was president of the
association during the years the
big county creamery was con
structed. He is survived by his

i same.
A monetary forefeiture was
mentioned, too although there
was no dollar sign attached.
"As I interpret it," Cary said,
"one half of the sum, or penalty
whatever, was to go to the au
thor, and the other half to what
I take to be informers."
In those days, when a man
copyrighted a book, he was sup
posed to let everybody know
about it in a newspaper adver
tisement. In the - second ' session of the
First Congress the air was clear
ed somewhat - when - separate
bills were introduced for copy
rights and patents.'
As any copyright lawyer or
patent attorney' will tell you,
today there is quite a difference.
