o G Drift To Saipan Takes Three Years 0 Los Angeles U.P.) In case anyone plans on drifting the 5. 500 miles to Saipan, it'll proba bly take about three years, ac cording to Paul Dreger, of the Automobile club of southern California. O Dreger reported that a Navy mployee on the Pacific island, Robert J. Roadarmel, wrote that he had found a bottle with Dre ger's business card inside. Dreger said he and two friends each put cards in bottles and threw them into southern California coastal waters be tween Catalina island and New port Beach three years ago. Two of the bottles were found a month later off Zuma Beach and probably had traveled about 75 miles northward along the coast, he seid. Steam Locomotive Graces Wisconsin Park Waukesha, Wis.

It seems these late model es calators move at a speed of 120 feet a minute, about miles per hour. Most escalators travel only 90 feet a minute. Some travelers loaded with baggage have had a little trou- ble because of the speed. J "I have to get back and take j a running leap to get on," Su-I pervisor Bert Busby said. "I can't see why we have to be the guinea pig for the rest of the country." The supervisors decided not to tamper with the speed of the pisht escalators -or h e n tripv learned it would cost about $10,000 to slow them down. i l J U 5 I 17 Is jq I 9 ii il 7" 3 W VM. 5 5T 5 ' "WS 77 J t . c 50 51 51 53 ?H I W I Man's nickname 3 Preposition 4 Part of speech (pl.) 5 Slave i Conductor's stick T Hold on property 8 Conjunction 9 Crafty 10 Abounded llFree ticket 13 Let It stand 16 Fancied 19 Begs 20 Issue forth 23 Dart 26 Downy duck 28 Conjunction 29 A continent (abbr.) 31 Liquid measure (abbr.) 3!

' 9 C 1 i Petroleum Industry Enters 1956 With Full Confidence New York (U.P.) This na tion's petroleum industry, ' an other year of record-breaking en deavor behind; it, enters 1956 with full confidence of still greater achievement, backed solidly by plans for expansion to the tune of S5,000,000,000. Oil men see continuing growth in world demand for petroleum products. The steady trend to ward further mechanization in all fields, the fast-growing field of petro-chemicals, new atomic develpoments, all are expected to bolster petroleum's position, Demand Up 7 Per Cent Demand for petroleum pro ducts in 1955 outpaced expecta tions, gaining around 7 per cent domestically and lifting consump tion to around 8,300j000 bar rels daily, a new record, comp ared with 7,750,000 barrels daily in 1954. For 1956, consumption totaling around 8,650,000 barrels daily is forecast. 'Free world demand outside the United States is growing at an even faster pace. While the industry sees plenty of crude oil in sight for the next two or three, decades, the struggle to find and develop it is becoming more of a problem each year. To this end, the industry in 1954 spent approximately $4.5 billion on capital expansion and improvements. For 1955, accord ing to Chase Manhattan Bank, expenditures ran around $4.9 bil lion. , Dr. Robert E. Wilson, chair man of Standard Oil Co. (In diana). Forecast recently that the ; industry "will continue to spend $5,000,000,000 a year on expan sion to keep pace with ever growing demand for oil." The : bulk of these expenditures- is i going for exploration and pro duction. Exploring Outside U.S. And, of the total, a good por tion will be spent outside the United States, emphasizing the growing importance of foreign production. Since the U.S. holds less than 20 per cent of world petroleum reserves and accounts for over 60 per cent of demand, imports are likely to account for an increasing proportion of U.S. needs, possibly exceeding one- third by 1975, it is predicted. Crude imports, . neverthelss, loom as a major industry pro blem, with Defense Mobilizer Arthur Flemming warning -re cently that imports . must be curbed voluntarily "if the indus try is not to come under govern ment restriction. - Tuesday, January 3. 195S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREB, GRIM A grim-faced Gover nor Goodwin Knight listens to reports of flood damage in the Russian River area at a special meeting in Santa Rosa, Calif.

Men Advised To Be Age, Enjoy It Chicago (U.R) Be your age and enjoy it, and industrial health expert advises men worried about the onslaught of time. Dr. W. H. Rice, chief surgeon j of Armco Steel Corporatioji, said men should choose and plan en joyable recreations so that they become less active with advanc ing years. "Be, and enjoy being, your age," he said. Dr. Rice suggested thai over eating be avoided. And he said adequate rest periods should be taken as one grows older. "Twenty to 30 minutes of com plete relaxation, lying down, during the noon hour is one of the most "valuable things which can be done to prepare you for the afternoon tasks," he said. Whenever possible, Dr. Rice said, meetings should not be ex tend past mealtimes because eat ing regularly is very important.

Ask Child What's Wrong, Is Advice Garand Rapids, Mich. (U.R) Is that child of yours causing you concern by the way he's been acting lately? "Ask him what's wrong," Dorothy Pisula, a St. Louis, Mo., psychologist recommends. "He is a more able diagnostician than most of us and cuts through to the heart of things. "He can usually tell simply and directly what is really wrong with him and his situa tion," Miss Pisula told a work shop On disturbed children at the annual convention of the National Conference of Catholic Charities. Miss Pisula, who works at the Our Lady of Grace Child Center, said parents should not jump to conclusions that their child is emotionally sick. "The fact that a child is brought to a child guidance clinic does not mean that some thing is wrong with him," she said. "At that moment, all that we really have is an adult's acknowledgement that he does not understand his child's be havior. "In fact the answer mav be little else than helping a parent to understand the normal behav ior of growing children." America's Cleaning Bill Claimed Higher Chicago U.R) Americans spent 10 per cent more this vear than last for cleaning up dirt and litter in their homes and places of business, the National Sanitary Supply association said. The association estimated that Americans paid $19,000,000,000 lor the work force to help keep us clean last year and $1,000 000,000 for materials. As a country, we spend more money than any other Deonlo n the world for cleanliness, but it pays off, according to Leo J. Kelly,', executive vice-president of the association. Kelly said that as a result of keeping clean, along with a bet ter standard of living, wide spread i immunization, heitei medical care and the expansion of local health services, the death rate from all infectious diseases in America dropped from 676 per 100,000 persons to 79 in the past 50 years. There were about 40,000 fori eign students in the U.S. in the 1954 year. r When Voa See GEORGE LEWIS ROGUE TRAVEL SEME A FREE SERVICE We Reserve and Sell Airline and Steamship Tickets PHONE 2-6779 O LOBBY HOTEL JACKSON Work, Sleep, Play In Comfort Without Nagging Backache Nagging backache, headache, or muscular aches and pains may come on with over-exertion. emotional upsete or day to dayatress and strain.
