A convention of Jackson coun
ty school board members will
be held Tuesday, Oct. 25, at
Griffin Creek school to study
educational needs. The conven
tion will be held in connection
with the rural school boards as
sociation meeting vhich previ
ously had been scheduled for
Oct. 25 at Griffin Creek school.
An agenda for the convention
is being prepared by a steering
committee which met earlier
this week and elected John Neid
ermeyer, president of the rural
school boards association, acting
chairman of the group. Ed
Branchfield, chairman of Dis
trict 49 school board, was chos
en acting secretary-treasurer.
To Make Reports
Al B. Mekvold, county super
intendent of schools, has urged
all school board members
throughout the county to attend
A report of the county's school
conditions, including financing
school districts, will be forward
ed to Charles A. Tom, chairman
of a legislative interim commit
tee on education before July 1,
1956.
The report will go through the
office of the superintendent of
public instruction for transmit
tal to the interim committee.

discounted slightly in Portland
banks yesterday for the first
time in three years.
The discount followed news
from New York that quotes on
the Canadian dollar were 164
to 132 of one per cent below
the American dollar.
The U.S. National bank said it
was discounting Canadian cur

one per cent on coins.
The First National bank in
Portland said it was charging V

amounts. -

Devastation Said
Enormous But No
Cause for Alarm
Washington (U.R) That hot
new particle of matter just dis
covered by scientists at Barke-
ley, Calif., has been bombarding
the Earth with annihiliating ef
fect since the beginning of time.
The devastation has been
enormous in an inifinitesimal
sort of way. -
And if anybody cares, the Rus-.
sians a year hence will be pro
ducing this destroyer particle in
far greater quantities than
Berkeley can manage.
But there is no cause for
alarm. Scientists said today that
the so-called new particle,
known as the antiproton or neg
ative proton, can do no harm to
man or his works.
It is, in fact, a highly com
forting little packet of energetic
matter because it confirms the
ories on which physicists have
been basing their picture of the
microcosmic world for a long,
long time.
Building Blocks
The fundamental building
blocks of matter are the proton
and the neutron. The proton,
carrying a positive electrical
charge, is the nucleus of hydro
gen, lightest of atoms. The com
pound nuclei of the heavier ele
mental atoms contain varying
numbers of protons and neutrons
packed closely together.
All atoms consist of heavy nu
clei surrounded by lightweight
negative electrons in numbers
corresponding to the number of
positive protons.
Early Deduction
Back in 1930 the British phy
sicist, P. A. M. Dirac, deduced
that there must be "anti" par
ticles identical in mass but oppo
site in telectrical charge to elec
trons and protons.
The anti-electron, or. positron,
was discovered two years after
Dirac predicted it. With it was
discovered for the first time the
complete annihilation of matter.
When a positron and an electron
get together their mass is in
stantaneously converted into
sheer energy in the form of
eamma radiation. This accords
with the late Albert Einstein's
principle of mass-energy equi-
valance.
The oositron comes into being
when .gamma rays pass near the
nuclei of atoms. So . physicists
ficured that the antiproton also
would be the product of conver
sion- of energy into matter.
. But they figured it would take
a lot of energy energy on tne
order of that possessed by some
of the cosmic ray particles
which incessantly pepper - the
Earth from outer space.
Not until completion of the
6,000,000 . electron volt atom
smasher at Berkeley, now the
most powerful in the world, did
man have sufficiently energetic
particles at his command to turn
the trick.
The Proof
Now" that the Berkeley experi
ments, reported yesterday, have
proved the antiproton beyond
any possible doubt, scientists
realize that cosmic radiation
must have been producing the
"new" particle for as long as
the universe has existed.
Dr. P. H. Abelson, head of the
geophysical laboratory of the
Carnegie Institution of Washing
ton, said "This old earth has
been pounded by antiprotons
since time began."
Abelson said verification of
the antiproton is comforting to
science but, as of now, is strictly
"a laboratory curiosity."
Dr. N. P. Heydenburg, theo
retical physicist of the Carnegie
institution's Department of Ter
restrial Magnetism, said the
antiprcton "confirms the sym
metry of nature."
Agrees With View
Atomic Commissioner Willard
F. Libby agreed with that view,
He noted that when the 25,000,-000,000-volt
atom-smasher under
construction at Brookhaven,
N.Y., goes in operation in the
next five or six years, it should
produce "a far greater abund
ance" of antiprotons than the
less powerful Berkeley machine.
The Russians should be beat
ing the Berkeley production rate
in ' another year, Libby said
They are building a 10,000,000,-
000-volt machine scheduled to
start hurling particles at targets
about a year from now. The Rus
sians also are planning a 100,
000,000,000-volt contraption for
the future.

State Office Building
Cracks Under Weight
Of Income Tax Files
Salem -U.R) The state Civil
Defense agency completed a
hasty, unscheduled evacuation
of its headquarters in the old
State Office building yesterday
amid the sounds and signs of
cracking and falling plaster.
The CD's basement officers
were vacated after employees
noticed plaster falling from a se
ries of cracks in the floor above,
sagging under the weight of a
million or more income tax
files.
'Operation Surtax
Residents of the building im
mediately dubbed the move "Op
eration Surtax and said the
floor gave way under the added
weight of the 45 per cent surtax
on income taxes voted by the
1955 State legislature.

EAGLE POINT
Wife of Ranger Visits
Eagle Point Mrs. Geo. Peters
(nee Peggy Simmons) and young
daughter Susan, are house guests
of her father, Walter Simmons
and wife Eagle Point. Mrs.
Peters husband is a ranger in Mt.
Rainier National park, Wash.,
where they have made their
home for three or four years.
She came down with some
friends. They arrived Oct. 14 and
will leave on their return home
Saturday, Oct. 22.
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Keim have
as a house guest a sister of , Mrs.
Keim Whom . she had not seen
for 40 years.
Mr. and Mrs. Earl W. Smith,
Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada,
left on their return home Satur
day, Oct. 8, after spending a
week here with Smith's sister,
Mrs. Mildred Dunford. While
here they visited the Oregon
Caves, Crater Lake and other
points of interest. This was their
first trip here and they were im
pressed with the beauty and
grandeur of this country. Smith
has been a conductor on the Ca
nadian Pacific railroad for 35
years.
Mrs. Mildred Dunford received
a letter from her son Boyd, who
is with the Army in Inchon, Ko
rea, last week. He expects to be
home again by Dec. 1.
Ray Tresham, Eagle Point,
who suffered a severe heart at
tack while on a hunting trip the
first of the season in eastern Ore
gon, was able to return to his
home from a hospital Saturday,
Oct. 15, and is improving as well
Ex-Woodburn Boy

Tokyo (U.R) William R.
Erickson, 17, son of SFC and
Mrs. Louis K. Richardson, Wood-

when he stuck his head out of
a speeding Japanese express
train and struck a telephone
pole alongside the track.
The Army said the boy was
on his way to school aboard a
Kyoto-bound electric express
train when the accident occur
red. Richardson is assigned to
the Army's camp Kobe.

first floor and basement of the
old building and ordered the

employees located under the
sagging area. - , ,
To Relocate Employees
Healy said CD employees may
be relocated in the unfinished
half of the second floor of the
Finance building, two blocks
away. Voters would have to au
thorize a permanent move to
that building, he said.
Engineers said the first floor
of the office building was de
signed to hold between 100 and
120 pounds per square foot. The
tax files kept their weigh, be
tween 400 and 480 pounds per
square foot.
Healy said the files would be
transferred to the basement of
the building and the sagging
floor will be jacked up and
shored with pillars.
as can be expected.

18, with a nice fat deer he shot
south of Lakeview near the Cal
ifornia line, the same locality
that Orvil Henderson and Roy
Ashpole went to hunt last Sat
urday, Oct. 15. He reported Or
vil and Roy as taking it' easy,
patiently waiting for the biggest
buck yet, to appear. They will
not return home until they get
their deer, or before closing of
the season.

to Portland last week end by ill
