DODGE ON DISPLAY The 1957 Dodge will
be on display at Parsons Motors, 315 East
Fifth st., Medford, Tuesday, Oct. 30. Height
of the two-door Lance hardtop models, like
the Custom Royal Lancer shown above, has
been reduced by five inches. The new Dodge
stands four and a half feet high. The 1957
model's new suspension system and newly
designed frame give the car a lower center of
gravity, providing road-hugging qualities.
Is That So?
Want to fetch a beautiful bit
of the outdoors, indoors? Bring
a nondemanding colorful pet
into your home? Get yourself an
inexpensive hobby through
which you'll learn something of
the creatures of the wild? Then
set up an aquarium.
Fair warning: watching the
strange habits of your fish-bowl
inhabitants from near-by and
far-off places, enjoying the liv
ing motion-picture of aquatic
life, watching them grow will
open a new world to you and,
quite likely, make a "fish-bug"
out of you forever after.
Let's get going. Why be fancy
or make it too expensive?
First off, get yourself a tank.
A rectangular job, about 18
inches long and 12 high will give
your fish swimming room with
plenty of water and air. How
ever, you can make out with a
large gallon jar with a wide
mouth. If you have a round
bowl, fill it with water only up
to the widest part. The larger
the tank, the easier it is to keep
it at an even temperature for
both plants and fish.
If possible, cover the top with
a glass to keep out dust, help
maintain an even temperature,
and prevent fish from jumping
out. To keep the cover from fit
ting too tight, and shutting out
air, place a bit of chewing gum
under the corner.
A good aquarium must have
plants: when the bowl ' is in
bright light, plants absorb pois
onous carbon dioxide from the
water a waste fish breathe
out and give off oxygen which
fish need. Fish, in turn, supply
the right kind of air for plants

and fertilize the plant roots.
Sure as shooting, you can ex
pect a pest green water moss,
known as algae. This can be kept
in check by using the right shade
plants such as Salvinia, duck
weed, and Azolla (which your
pet shop carries). Then add a few
taller plants, like grasses. Put
ting in a few small snails also
keeps the algae down, and be
sides they keep the glass clean.
Plants Help Breeding
Plants also help fish in breed
ing. Many of your beautiful trop
ical fish deposit their eggs on
the leaves of such plants as Myr
iophyllum. Or some like to leave
their eggs among loose masses of
floating shade plants such as liv
erwort or bladderwort. Sure you
can get these from streams or
brooks but don't. They may have
tiny bugs which will be harmful
to your aquarium.
Water plants are beautiful
and need far less care than
houseplants. Nothing to it. Just
pust the bottom ends of your
plants, or the spread-out roots,
into coarse sand. Avoid ordinary
sand, with grains about the size
of pinheads, is just right. Again,
get it at your pet shop. Before
using it, wash it as you would
rice by letting water from a
faucet run into a deep ditch con
taining the sand, and stirring it
with your fingers with just as
many washings as it is necessary
to get clear water.
Once you have set the plants
into the sand, pile a few rather
large handsome stones or color
ed marbles around the roots to
help hold them firmly. These
stones not shells because they
dissolve and make the water
hard should also be washed
with plenty of water first, but
never use soap. If you use too
many, dirt will tend to collect
under the rocks, souring your
tank.

column will discuss (A) How to

ium: (C) How to feed your fish.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Naw Birth ef a Sawmill . . .
Used to be, I made regular
calls down Willapa Harbor way,
never missing a chance to visit
with Bill Turner, of evergreen
memory. Back yonder, midway
in tlie New Deal, Bill calculat
ed eight to ten years more of
life for the area's big industry
the giant Willapa sawmill and
logging operations.
Bill Turner managed these
giant shows with the mind of
a gentleman and a scholar, and
a scholar, and with the hand of
an A-No. 1 timber producer. His
dismal forecast was simply in
tune with the times, which were
permeated with popular pes
simim. Bill Turner would be the first
today to confess that he missed
his guess a mile, and then some
And he would lead the glory
shouts over the birth of a new
sawmill on the Willapa.
For now, some 16 years since
the moaning and groaning dis
ciples of Wallace and Ickes were
at their peak, the Weyerhaeuser
Timber company is completing
a new sawmill, which will be
supplied with sawlogs from
Clemons, Willapa and Wyno
oehee Tree Farms, that have a
total of 337,000 acres.
"Capital Spending ..."
This also means the building
of jobs, wages, taxes, dividends,
tnd the purchases of services
and supplies, permanently, in
the Willapa Harbor area. It is
hope refreshed to many a man
in the district who is respon
sible for sheltering, clothing,
feeding, schooling, doctoring, en
tertaining, and otherwise pro
viding for a family in our mod
ern way of life.
The Willapa story is one of a
series that could well be head
ed "Adventures in Capital
Spending," in the timber towns
of Washington, Oregon and Cal
ifornia. Faith in the promise of
forests growing and of rich har
vests of wood in the future, is
the prime mover of the many
millions that are being spent
to build new forest industry
plants and to expand and re
model old ones in many timber
districts of both Washington and
Ore'gon.
The Willapa Harbor story, in
deed, is one of thousands of
news stories of industrial ex
pansion throughout the U.S.A
Shareholders and directors of
industrial organizations are mov
ing with a power of vital faith
in the future: Continuance of
peace, progress and prosperity
in our time and in the capital
to build more production, more
business, more jobs.
All over America owners and
managers of industrial enter
prises are spending more. Con
cretely, the owners of automo
lile factories in Michigan are
expanding on the faith that wage
earners everyhere, like forest in
austry employees at Willapa
Harbor and Coos Bay, will con
tinue to have jobs and wages,
cash and credit, to buy new
cars. And the owners of forest
industry mills are expanding
plants in the faith that Michigan
automobile factory employees
will continue to build homes of
Douglas fir, west coast hemlock
and western red cedar lumber
The national industrial con
ference board has published a
survey of "capital appropria
tions," by 1,000 largest manu
facturing companies, that is food
for meditation in this season
not the hunting but the political
season.
Faith at Work . . .
According to the industrial
conference board survey, the
thousand large U.S. manufactur
ing concerns made near $8,500,
C00.000 in new capital approp-
Cement Common Product in New York
Albany. N.Y. (U.R) New
York state's top mineral product
is so commonplace that most
New Yorkers never think about
it.
It is cement.
. It was the construction of the
riations for expansion of pro
duction and employment during
the first half of 1956 or 39 per
cent more than in the same per
iod of 1955.
The thousand companies had
a $10,400,000,000 backlog of un
expended capital appropriations
at the end of June, 1956. Esti
mates were that this giant am
ount would be spent in less than
months. More jobs! More
homes!
All this means a long-range
faith in the existing American
economics system a vital faith
at work, a faith in the way of
America, now in 1956.
This way is the greatest free
way of good life for any nation
in the world history. The young
men know it well, all over our
land,, and so do the young wo
men. Surely the vast majority of
them will think hard and fast
before voting to change today's
economic and political climate
cf faith and hope into a climate
oi fear and pessimism.
As my Old Ranger used to
say, "The business of life is to
KO forward. Who wants to 'lay
back in the britching'?"
Erie Canal that gave the indus
try its big boost in the state.
Natural cement was used in
every lock and aqueduct.
When Portland cement began
to be used in the United States
Hudson River Valley had all the
necessary materials including
clay deposits and cheap water
transportation. To this day the
area produces a larger share of
cement than any other In the
state.
In 1955 nearly 18.S million
barrels of Portland cement were
manufactured in New York.
The year's output was valued at
about $52,908,000.
