Aspects of Industry Should be Explored, Chamber Board Agrees All aspects of any industry agan pointed out that orchardists which might be invited to locate in the valley should be explored before such an invitation is is sued, it was generally agreed at a meeting of the board of direc tors of the Jackson County Chambers of Commerce yester day. The reference was particular ly to the hazards of air and stream pollution, brought up by Board Member George Flanagan in connection with the possibility of a pulp and paper plant locat ing here The discussion arose with re gard to recent action of the board in voting to particapate in sponsoring a study of wood waste industries, to be conducted by the Stanford Research In stitute. Some people have in- ' terpreted the study to be leading up to an invitation to a pulp and paper firm to locate here, Flan agan said. Danger of Odors, Smolc .wiemDers 01 tne doara in dicated they shared Flanagan's concern over the danger of of fensive odors or smoke could bring to the valley, or the danger of stream pollution to the Rogue river and its sports fishery. But it was pointed out the proposed study would cover all aspects of industries which might take advantage of supplies of wood raw materials available in the valley not just pulp and paper manufacturers. Flanagan revealed that three of the valley's large mills, Med ford Corporation, Timber Pro ducts, and Elk, Lumber company of which he is general manager, have discussed pooling their re sources to build a pulp mill, but that the Idea has been held in abeyance because of the pollu tion threat. He said, however, if the people of the valley would have no objection to a pulp mill and the pollution threats it would engen der, then the local interests would feel justified in going ahead with such plans. Consider Views The board asked its industrial committee to take these views into consideration in its planning for more industry, and was as sured that these aspects are in cluded, in the committee's work. During the discussion, Flan- have made considerable progress in cutting down on the amounts of smudge smoke put into the air during orchard heating opera tions, and that mills are work ing to cut down the amount of burner smoke expelled. This progress would be lost if an op eration came here which would create offensive odors or much smoke, he said particularly in view of the frequent inversions which keep smoke or fog bottled up in the valley with no way of clearing out The' state sanitary authority is now making studies of the amount of stream pollution toler able in the Rogue without dan ger to fish life, it was brought out at the meeting, and prelim inary indications are that only one major industrial plant can be located on the Rogue without exceeding such a permissible pollution level. Report Disadvantage At the conclusion of the discus sion, it was the board's under standing that the Stanford Re search Institute would report on disadvantages of any industrial operation which could use local raw materials, as well as the advantages. Mrs. Bert Pree, tourist and convention committee chairman, told the board efforts are being made to save the old U.S. Hotel in Jacksonville from demolition. The building, one of the historic structures in the pioneer town, has been condemned for public use, but that possibilities of hav ing it restored are being ex plored. It is now owned by the city of Jacksonville, and some have proposed that it be torn down. The board heard and adopted, after making minor amendments, a statement of chamber policies, governing operation of the of fice, committees, and other func tions of the chamber. LIKED HER PETS Denver (U.R) Frederick J. Betts was . awarded a divorce Thursday because his wife likes pets 11 chinchillas, a parrot, a dog, a cat and three bowls of goldfish. Betts testified his wife once tried to stab him because he slept while the cat ate one of the chinchillas. , Garden Notes C. B. CORDY County Extension Agent fr Horticulture Garden peas are now getting uo to the point where they are blossoming and setting on small pods. This is a critical stage from the standpoint of protection against pea weevil. The adult weevils are now about and will sting their eggs into the pods which will result in tiny worms developing in the peas. This is a common garden pest, but for tunately it is rather easy to con trol. The adult weevils are very sensitive to DDT and easily killed by it. Dusts are really more effective than sprays, but either one of them would do the work. A dust of 5 per cent DDT applied when the plants are blooming freely and some of the young pods have set would be the first application. In order to give continued protection, it would be necessary to repeat this dust in two weeks. If you prefer to spray, use a heaping tablespoon 50 per cent DDT in two gallons of water. Aphis Common Pest . Aphis are also a common pest on peas and these could be readi ly controlled by adding a table spoon of malathion to this DDT mixture. This malathion spray would also be very beneficial on other plants such as roses which may have an aphis infestation. Cherry aphis are also causing considerable trouble and where they are numerous, this mala thion spray "would give control; however, as cherry trees are large, they should be sprayed with a power sprayer using two pounds malathion in 100 gallon of water. With small trees where only a few tips are in fested with aphis, it might be simpler to cut off the infested tips and destroy them. It is still too early to spray for cherry fruit fly. the nature of this insect makes it necessary to very carefully time the first cover. The timing is related to the appearance of the adult flies, so we cannot tell ahead of time when the spray will need to be applied. As soon as the flies appear, a notice will be given of the proper time and materials to use. Thanks Friends . . . For the faith and confidence you gave me in your support at the primary election for the office of County Assessor. I appreciate the fine expression given me by my worthy opponent and feel I have gained another friend in this busy world, and thank him for the clean race we were able to make. Trusting your faith will continue ot grow through the November election, I hope to be able to substantiate that faith in the next four years. s ALIEN D.

BOOKS GIFTS RECORDS A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer j CRANES COMPLETE FLIGHT Washington (U.R) At least three of North America's re maining Whooping Cranes have completed their 2,500-mile flight to Canada and others are near ing " their destination, the Fish and Wildlife Service, reported Thursday. Washington (U.R) One way to prevent sunburn is to stay away from old Sol. Another is to dab several ounces of pre vention on sec tions of your anatomy you aim to expose to the hot rays. Personally, I don't intend to Harman Ntcbois do any pro longed outdoor sitting. I've discovered like a lot of others that some soda parlors around the country have lamps for sale that will give an arti ficial tan. On my annual leave which is coming up presently, I intend to look into this method in the in terest of science. With this in mind, I went down to the government print ing office and, for a nickel, picked up a Public Health Serv ice pamphlet called "Sunburn and Suntan." The little four-page book starts out by saying that a lot of folks ruin their vacations by trying to build up a brown look too many layers at a time. Some Suggestions , The Health Service has some suggestions. First off, you should know from experience how much sun your hide can handle. Even if you're sure, watch out for the noonday sun.

"Transition Cottons" -1 12.95 "; J jv Seventeens v4 WljA ' "Cover Dress" Forth V ie newest in dresses See Parker Woods' "Some of the worst cases of 'sunburn," the pamphlet goes on, "are collected on the beaches and on the snow-covered moun tains. Even when the sun is overcast, the sun can burn cruel ly." The Health Service has found that kids burn more easily than big folks. Babies under age two and delicate children of any age need a watchful eye. It is deemed advisable for the very young to start out in spurts of five minutes at a time. Most grownups can weather 15. minutes under the rays the first day. On reach succeeding day, the exposure may be ex tened by 15 minutes. Some Preparations ' The service recommends some suntan preparations, which come under the preventive classifica tion. Since they involve mathe matics and fractions, these reci pes ought to be stirred up by your druggist. These are recommended, when properly mixed: Oil: A mixture of white jtiin eral oil, - sesame oil, methyl salicylate, perfume, and a touch of hydroquinone. . Cream: cold cream mixed with vanishing cream, sesame oil, methyl anthranilate, and cho lesterol. Lotion: ethyl alcohol, sesame oil, butyl benzal acetone oxalate, tannic acid.perfume, and hydro quinone mixed in. If you forget all of the above the time of exposure and the preventatives and get in trou- ! ble, better call a doctor. The Health Service warns that a lot of burns can be serious. You may come down with chills, fever and even run out of your head. Happy vacation! Insulin Pill May Replace Injections Portland (U.R) Dr. Robert H. Williams yesterday described a new "insulin" pill that may in the future take the place for certain patients of painful daily injections. . Dr. Williams, a researcher from University of Washington medical school, spoke to mem bers of the Portland Academy of Medicine. He cautioned that the new drugs are not yet on the market and that they are still experimental. Research on them is still in the preliminary stages. However, he said, the new drugs already had established their place in diabetic therapy and promise to replace insulin treatment permanently in some patients. Carbutamide and tolbutamide, popularly known under their trade names as BZ-55 and ori nase, respectively, are the two drugs under investigation. , OPOLOGIZE FOR OVERSIGHT Memphis, Tenn.
