Today, a silent, white-enameled ice man stands in millions of kitchens. But to mass produce millions of refrigerators, manufacturers must be able to sell them by the millions. Only by advertising can a manufacturer talk to millions of people at one time. ADVERTISING TELLS the story of new refrigerators .... and helps ell them. The more it sells, the more must be made keeping the production lines and the jobs going. The result: newer, better appliances at prices more people can afford to pay.

OSC Experts Study Weather Controls In Central Oregon Corvallis Science is still hopeful that it can put reality into man's long-nurtured dream to do something about the weath er. But Oregon State college me teorologists say much research is needed before such efforts as cloud seeding will give con trolled weather changes. The OSC researchers have just completed a four-year study of commercial cloud seeding in Ore gon's dryland wheat area of Sherman, Gilliam, and Morrow counties. Their conclusion: no definite increases in rainfall due to seeding. Records Studied The study was made by Rus sell Lincoln, Fred Decker, and John Day in the 2,642,000 acre Tri-county region where rain makers have been seeding clouds with silver iodide since 1950. The team of researchers armed themselves with 20-year weather records for the area prior to 1950 before starting their intensive four-year-observation. Average rainfall from 1930 to 1950 had been 10.5 inches during the 10 months, September through June, when cloud seed ing is practiced in the Tri-county area. Yearly variations were wide, however, during the 10 month periods: 5.8 inches in 1938 compared to 16.6 inches in 1947. Reports from regional weath er stations, along with actual rainfall measurements in nearby unseeded areas, gave a com puted average natural rainfall of slightly under 11 inches for the four test years. The scientists measured 11 items used to compute natural rainfall, allowed statistical mar gin of error, and figured 12.60 inches of rain must fall before it could be credted to anything but chance. Actually, only 11.58 inches fell during the seeding season one inch under the total needed to credit it to anything but nature. It is quite probable, meteorol ogists say, that weather condi tions are rare when man can make clouds release or withhold hail. But they believe the Tri county study has provided a good tool for measuring present cloud seeding methods.

Thursday, August 25, 1953 Kreisman Article Set for Publication Ashland Dr. Arthur Kreis man, professor of English and chairman of the division of hu manites at Southern Oregon col lege has been notified that his article, "Some Thoughts on Tea ching Method," will be publish ed by the graduate school of Ore gon State college in their quar terly magazine, Improving Col lege and University Teaching for the month of August. Emphasis has been placed by Dr. Kreisman on the broad as pects of "method" as distinguish ed from devices, procedures, and other concrete manifestations of the teaching process. He discus ses this distinction from the view point that only a person who thoroughly understands how a particular subjnect is learned can teach it with any great suc cess. This means that the teach er must be a master of the sub ject in the deepest sense. Wall Street New York (U.R) Strong de mand for copper shares led the stock market higher today.
