A Phila delphia scientist will lead an ex pedition to the Amazon River this year for the purpose of studying the biological pattern of the stream. She is Ruth Patrick, Curator of Limnology in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadel phia. For eight years she and her staff of biologists have been studying North American rivers. To advance knowledge of what constitutes a healthy stream, it is necessary to examine a tropi cal river for comparison, she said. The expedition is sponsored by the Catherwood Foundation, of which Cummins Catherwood, of BEEF STEAK Kg LUMAN'S I Bryn-Mawr, is president. This foundation has been backing the academy's research extensively, one important phase being de velopment of the Catherwood Diatometer, ah instrument origi nated by the academy. It is used in collection of dia toms, one-celled microscopical members of the plant kingdom, the populations and species of which in any stream is an index to its condition. Beginning in 1948, the acad emy has made studies for gov ernmental and private agencies on rivers from coast to coast, and in Canada. Its reports are results of applying the "academy yard stick," which holds that the com parative health of a river de pends upon its ability to support poulations of animal and plant life from microscopic forms up to fishes. From the knowledge thus gain ed, in the field and the academy laboratories, the department is able to furnish its sponsors valu able information affecting treat ment and disposal of industrial and municipal wastes. In the short life of the depart ment, it has grown until it em ploys in the field survey sea sons more than 20 scientists and technicians. Three Sewage Disposal Plans Studied by Phoenix Council Photnix The Phoenix city council is considering three pro posals for construction of a sewer system and means of disposal of Sewage. The' council recently received a report from Harvey and Wat kins Consulting engineers, Med ford, on financing three possi bilities of serving Phoenix with a sewer system. Del Harvey rep resented the firm and discussed various plans with the council. One proposal is to construct a separate treatment plant "for Phoenix, which would cost an estimated S315.250. The plant, according to the report, would be capable of serving 2,000 popu lation. Second Plan The second alternative is to construct a treatment plant in cooperation with South Bear Creek Sanitary district. Phoe nix' share in the cooperation estimated to be S312.395, includ ing construction of a trunk line to connect with a treatment plant. The third alternative would cost an estimated $224,950, and calls for a trunk line through South Bear Creek Sanitary dis trict and a contract with the city of Medford for disposal. The estimated cost includes fees to Medford and maintenance ex penses. Mayor Dan Adams said the council indicated it may sched ule a meeting with officials of Burmese Ambassador Plans To Honor Reds Moscow (U.R) Burmese Am bassador Maung Ohn has sent out a circular letter to all for eign envoys here proposing a "collective" dinner for the So viet Council of Ministers, it was disclosed today.

Thursday, November 10, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN I Pink Caterpillars Dine On Upholstery Los Angeles (U.R) A fan palm may be handsome in the front yard, but it has created a new household problem in south ern California an invasion of homes by upholstery - chew ing fan palm caterpillars. University of California Ento mologist Roy J. Pence reported the pink caterpillars naturally feed on the palm fiber to spin their cocoons, but when they fall from the tree during heavy winds, they enter homes where they shred clothes, drapes, up- noisiered iurniture and expen sive rugs.
