One city councilman angrily accused the county Air Pollu- to Dass the buck" in the smog control. He suggested the super visors "resign and get the hell out of there." The Los Angeles area 'under went Its first smog alert in a week yesterday. The first-level alert lasted one hour and 48 minutes. Air pollutants reached .51 part of ozone per million parts of air in the city and .50 over the industrial center of Vernon. The county Air Pollution Con trol district said another first- level alert was probable today because of an inversion weather lid at 600 feet with weak winds. During the first-level alert, the APCD banned all backyard burning, asked industry to cur tail voluntarily its burning and requested all non-essential auto driving to stop. Calling of the alert came as a new wrangle between the city council and the APCD devel oped over a new city ordinance adopted Thursday which will permit backyard incinerator burning by residents only on Saturday and Sunday. City councilmen said that they adopted the ordinance at the re quest of Smith Griswold, direc tor of the APCD. Griswold, in letters to councilmen yesterday, said he did not approve of the ordinance. He suggested that the county and cities in it work out an ordinance which would pro vide for incinerator use only in late afternoon hours, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. "This is ridiculous," said city councilman Ernest Debs. "If members of the board are not willing to assert their leader shin and exercise their responsi bility fox, smog control why are they trying to pass the buck to us. They ought to resign and get the hell out of there." Pickin' Pears News and Notes From Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH After a series of journalistic hurricanes, Camp White has de veloped a combination of mem bers who are putting out read able and consistent issues of Dominews, the "home paper." The September issue, which will be. out Tuesday the 27th, is a commendable example of their work. One feature is the series of articles on veterans' health contributed by the medi cal staff. Dr. Charles K. Todd, CMO, Dr. Emil Muhs, and Dr. Ernest Everett have addressed their advice to the men through this medium. Dr. Everett, who is a member of the Dominews editorial board, discusses obesity and how to get thinner in the current issue. The road, in a way, he says, "must be traveled in a manner similar to that used by those in AA, for a different purpose. "In order to lose weight, the first thing is to want to lose weight. When this is understood thoroughly in your mind, then progress can begin." . He was an AP telegrapher at the capital in Salem and else where, and became familiar not only with news style but with some of the technique of editing and making up a paper, that is learned only in the school of ex- perience. He did take a brief course at the university for a better understanding of the art of writing newspaper English. FAMILY MEETING HOUSE Cumberland. R. I. (U.R) The 209-year-old Elder Ballou Meet ing House was used for only two weddings in the last 75 years. The latest was the wedding of Joyce Avis Ballou of East Provi dence, R.I. a direct descendant of Elder Abner Ballou for whom the place was named. The other wedding was her mother's in 1929. Malcolm Badger, the editor. together with his associates in art, stenciling and printing, Nor man Cameron and Asa Kimball, have a working formula. There are feature articles and humorous items that are not "heard" before, and the infor mation about the station itself is newsworthy and crisp. As an example, news of the arrival of Mrs. Dorothea Glass, former li brarian, in China is contained in a story about a letter received from herr which was mailed Aug. 21 from Kowloon, Hang Kong. "It's wonderful not to have to hurry to be some place at 8 a.m.," she writes. The cover this month is dedi cated to the Rogue River Val ley's "famous for pears" with a sketch of a large pear in the center; also a line "Keep Ore gon Green." Father Michael Reilly, pinch hitting for Father Lawrence Eskay, dug up a directive issued by General George Washington in New York, July, 1776, in which he makes the interesting point that "we can have little hope of the blessing of heaven on our arms if we insult it by our impiety and folly." A poem on "Hobby" and other interesting contributions are contained in this outstanding number. Glenn Howe, department serv- ice officer of the American Leg ion, visited the domiciliary Mon day and Tuesday of this week and announced that under his new budget, he will be able to include Camp White in his itin- erary every three months during the coming year. Howe conferred with Manager Ricker and inspected the ceme tery in addition to holding mem ber interviews in the Legion auxiliary oxiice. tie was ac companied by Mrs. H. M. Lind, department chairman of volun- teer hospital workers, and Ern est Dilley, Multnomah county liaison officers for the Legion, who is assisting in the service officer assignment. Grange It may be told now that Mal colm Badger took over, the reins of editorship reluctantly, be cause of "lack of experience." In point of fact, however, he is a product of Oregon journalism which has been the school for some outstanding newspapermen. Upper Rogue Grange Upper Rogue Grange held the annual Booster Night Thursday, Sept. 15, with a potluck supper. About 100 people attended. Master Herb Carlton gave the welcome address followed by a short program prepared by Lec turer Carl Richardson. Our mu sician, Mrs. Ray Gillespie, gave several piano selections, and there was a skit by Mrs. Herb Carlton and Mrs. Harry Harding Sr., jazz selections on the piano by Marcus Day,' songs by the quartet, Harold Barber, Robert Darrohn, Esther Merriman and Birdie Moore, accompanied on the piano by Lucile Baber, after which every one sang with the group. The main speaker was Mrs. Willie McLean, state juvenile chairman, of Gold Hill, stating the Grange is an old order and will have its 89th session next year. She also stated in former years anyone who wanted to join the Grange had to be a farm er, but not any more! Anyone who is. interested in Grange work is welcome to join. It is the only lodge where the whole family can go together. The Grange is the only farm order in the world. Meeting was closed by a story by our Worthy Master Herb Carleton. Los Angeles (U.R) The City Council is considering some sort of educational program to in form citizens of their municipal government. Shrine Circus Final Performances Today; Many Acts Reviewed The annual two-day Hillah temple Shrine circus produced by Polack Bros., will close to night, the final performance to begin at 8:15 p.m., at the Med ford Senior high school stadium. The matinee show is set for 3 ;30 p.m. Tickets will be on sale" at the stadium for today's shows. The show opened Tuesday af ternoon when about 4,000 school children from Jackson and Jose phine counties attended. Last night's show was nearly as well attended despite the chilly tem peratures. Cycling Act One of the outstanding acts this year is done by the Chaludis, a cycling foursome, made up of Karl Schwartzenbauer, his son, Karl Jr., and two sisters, Lucia and Gerda Muller. A feature pre sented by the Chaludis is a re markable head-to-head balancing act done by Lucia and Dita. For more than tree minutes they maintain that position while th?y ride a bicycle, go up and down a stepladder and finally mount on Senior Schwartzbauer's shoul ders to form a "three-high" ride on his bicycle. The Flexible funsters, contor tionists, add high comedy with their skilled antics and grotes que routines. This group also is made up of a father and son, Edwin and Willi Merky, of Mu nich, Germany, arid the third member of the trio is Heinz See burg. This is their second season in America. For those who enjoy the bag pipes, the Dagenham Girl Pipers from England do Highland dances and are joined by the Polack Spangleland chorines for a dramatic finale to the show. The show this year opens, as have others in the past, with Prof. George J. Keller, said to be the only wild animal trainer who puts his "cats" through their performances without the aid of a gun or other protection. The jungle animals perform for him much the same as household pets. In the act are an African lion, a black panther, a jaguar, a cheetah, a puma, a leopard and a tiger. Another familiar act with the circus again this year is the Klauser family and their well trained bears. High on the list of balancing performances are Roland Jo hansson, Swedish-born finger-tip balancer, , and . Harold Barnes, tight-wire balancer. Trapes Artist Freya Josse, another of the German-born performers in the show, thrills the audience with her seeming nonchalance high on a trapeze. For those who es pecially enjoy horsemanship Cilly Feindt performs on one ofl the famed breed of Lippizan horses, noted for their grace and dignity; and Najos Poly Orea's furnish a clever act with their 16 spitz dogs. Other acts include Besalou trained elephants, the Areria lovelies Melitta and Wicons, ex perts of equilibrium; Ostein maieT's goats; Roland Tiebor's sea lions; the clowns, the Palla- medes, elevated equilibrists; the Sikorskas, experts in "dental dangling," and Fedi-Fedi, an exA traordinary dancing "duo" num-J ber done by the single perform er which appears to be two per sons in routine "of Spanish dances.
