'Pop' Gave Nickname ForSoft Drinks Los Angeles U.R) Soft drinks are known as "pop" be cause they used to do just that xvbgn the bottle Qtpper was re mised, according to engineers at the Crown Cork & Seal Co.

To open the bottle, the thirsty customer struck the wire with his hand. As the stopper was released, so was gas in the head space with a loud "pop."

San Rafael Ferry Boats Will Quit San Francisco (U.R) An other phase of San Francisco's colorful past will fade out a year from now when four ferry boats will be taken off the bay. The big white chuggers of the Richmond-San Rafael line will stop operating in October, 1956, after a $62,000,000 bridge now under construction is completed. Demise of the four ferries will leave only two of the depend able boats on the bay, both run by the Southern Pacific railroad to connect its Oakland terminal with San Francisco. The San Rafael-Richmond line was founded in 1915, the year of the Panama-Pacific Exposi tion in San Francisco. By 1930, the heyday of the ferries, 43 boats were churning up bay waters, operated by Southern Pacific, Santa Fe Railway and Key System Transit Lines. But with the opening of the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge in 1936 and the Golden Gate Bridge in 1937 the number of ferries was reduced drastical- The history of bay ferries dates back to 1850 when Capt. Thomas Gray offered twice weekly ser vice, tides and weather permit ting, between here and -Oakland on a boat named Kangaroo. When the Richmond-San Ra fael line goes out of existence next year the swift efficiency of the toll bridge will chip deeper into another symbol of a more leisurely "past. Homes Near Highway Called Convenience Chicago (U.R) Most persons who live near a heavily trav eled highway seem to regard it as a convenience instead of a nuisance. The American Society of Plan ning Officials said this was found to be the case in West chester county, N. Y. The county planning department went out and asked citizens how they felt about having a major highway close to their homes. The department questioned residents of four neighborhoods that border on roads used by many cars and trucks. For pur poses of comparison, people who live away from the roads also were questioned. Sixty-five per cent of those whose homes were near a high way answered that they felt it was a convenience. The major reason for regard ing such proximity as a nuisance was the safety factor involving children, the society said. Largest Radar Indicators Completed , Rochester," N. Y. (U.R) Three of the largest radar indicators ever built to meet military speci fications have been completed by the Stromberg-Carlson Co., a division of General Dynamics Corp. The indicators, which took 18 months to construct, were com pletely designed by the com pany's electronics engineering department under the direction of Charles W. Finnigan. The indicators have 22-inch viewing tubes with a maximum range of 300 miles and a mini mum range of four miles! They can be used with any standard Navy radar equipment. One of the indicators was scheduled for installation on the battleship U.S.S. Mississippi. Destination of the other two was not disclosed. DINING INN CENTRAL POINT Location for Mental Hospital in Portland Area To Be Picked Soon Salem U.P.) Site for the new S15,000,000 mental hospi tal in the Portland area is ex pected to be chosen before the first of the year, with the choice narrowed by an advisory com mittee by two one in the Wil sonville area and one in the Hillsboro area. E. J. (Bill) Ireland, board sec retary, pointed out that the Board of Control, made up of the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer, does not necessarily have to take either site, but probably will inasmuch as its advisory committee spent six months looking over some 30 or 35 sites before narrowing their choices to two. Water Survey Made Surveys have been made tc determine the availability of water possibilities of both sur face and ground waters topo graphical desirability from a building standpoint, and geologi cal studies of subsoil conditions.

Bid To Stop School Candy Sales Refused Salem (UP.) The State Board of Education refused today to stop the sale of candy and soda pop in Oregon public schools as recommended by the Oregon State Dental Society. George C. Huggins of Coos Bay said he was opposed to such regulation but would have no objection to forwarding ' the dental society's views on the matter to all school administra tors and teachers in the state. The board agreed to -Huggins' suggestion. Because of some misunder standing in the field, the board adopted a resolution clarifying its order concerning instruction in health- and physical educa tion in Oregon high school. Under this clarification, the board said a minimum two-year course in physical and health education should be compulsory in the 9th and 10th grades. School districts could carry on the program, if desired, in the 11th and 12th grades but stu dents could be excused for phy sical or religious reasons in the two upper grades. Stale Police To Use Radar Speed Meters Salem (U.R) , State Police will use radar after the first of the year to aid in apprehending traffic - law violators, Superin tendent H. G. Maison said today.

"The units to be placed in service at this time will be mounted in patrol vehicles op erated by uniformed members of the department." Signs will be erected by the State Highway Department at conspicuous places at or near the boundary line of the state upon each state highway. which leads to the boundary line, be fore the radar operation is put into force. Wednesday, December 14, 1953 Lutheran Church Pfans New Code For Family Life New York (U.R) A spec ial commission of the Upited Lutheran Church in America an nounced late yesterday that it would recommend adoption of a new marriage and family life code liberalizing the church's attitude toward divorce and fa voring the use of birth control. The commission's recommen dation for a new code of mar riage and family life will be presented to the annual meeting of the church's Board of Mis sions next April to replace a similar code written in 1930. More Realistic . The Rev. William C. Zimmer mann, Dayton, O., committee chairman, said the new propos al is "more realistic." "It doesn't mean a person can marry the day after getting a di vorce but it will be easier for the church to look at the whole matter. Where marriaee failure and divorce occur among Chris tian people, the church should recognize its involvement in the failure and seek to lead all con cerned to repentance and for giveness," he said. "Since God gives to Darents the power to join in creation, it is the right of parents to plan their families, making use of the best medical knowledge av ailable."
