Maybe this ear ly. Well, wrap - ping anvtaing iltrman Nichols npvor ha lawn any ,fun for me. When it comes ,to putting something. as simple a blanket under wraps I run around wearing 10 thumbs, maybe 12. 1 just was not born to be a wrapper. . This.cute little leaflet- starts out on how to wrap a box. - firsT on comes the rectaneu- lar wrap., The rules say you are supposed to ."estimate the amount n paper needed, arid allow at least half an inch, overlap on th back and sides." In my circle that runs into calculus. Something that left me wanting in credits in Higher learning. r'rom;there, after allowing for overtop, the thing to do is to "center the design on the box, bring the paper around and se--1 cure on the back, paste and seal." Simple as that. But try it! Lip Wrap , K "4 Ti Then-there is the separte "lip , r wrap." AJ1 you . have to do in this performance is' to take ah eight-year course-.and learn how cj to "cut the.'paper to a size that e will fold over the .ends and sides of lids. Bring the paper over the q sides and secure (Fig. 1). Fold the rest 6t the f l;rps up 'and over the sr.ds of the lid.''

Vegetable Census X Puts California Ahead Chicago U.R) The Bureau of Census pi th'e fj. S. Department of Commarce recently released its 1954 figures n who grows the most of what kind of vege tables anil where. , Of tthe lt)0 leading vegetable counties in the United States, 21 were in California, 12 in Florida, nd 3eiht each in New York, Texas and Wisconsin. Top grower of vegetables - of 11 kinds in both acreage and value, of the produce sold-, was Monterey "courjty, Calif. That county produced 533.000,000 worth of vegetables in 1954. Seconder, acreage planted in vegetables was Hidalgo county, Texas, with 98,W)0 acres. Some 27,000 acres of this total were planted in tociatoes, giving the county the lead in tomato pro duction. About 5,000 acres were in cabbage, making it the second largest cabbage-producing coun ty. r- The lefng cabbage county was Cameron,, county, Texas. Btore ctan 7,090 acres of cab bage were planted there. Palm Beach county, Fla., was : the leading county in sweet corn acreage' in 1954, with 17.352 acrcsvColumbia. county. Wis., was second. in green peas, Umatilla coun ty. Ore., took first place, fol lowed by Valla Walla county. Wash. ' ' Church Starts Series .

The corporation making the purchase is headed by Henry Kuckenberg, Portland contrac tor, and Paul F. Murphy, Oswe go .realty developer. The pair also have other joint holdings in the downtown area of the city. Involved in the transaction were the 10-story Corbett bull ing; the 10-story Pacific building; the south half of Lipman's de partment store building and an other large one-story downtown building. Also included in the whole sale transaction was the sale of a five-story garage, a parking lot and service station to Imperial Garages Incorporated. Ship Sunk 118 Years Ago Found Alexandria Bay, N. Y. (U.R1 Two skindivers.have discovered the sunken hulk of what is be lieved to be a British steamer sunk by 22 Americans 118 years ago. The ship is believed to be the Sir Robert -Peel. The hulk was found in about 100 feet of water in the St. Lawrence river. The craft was boarded by men dis guised as Indians May 29, 1838 and sunk in retaliation for the sinking of the American ship Carolie. five month earlier. It was believed the raiding party was led by a William John ston who wanted to use the Sir Robert Peel for an invasion of Canada. The skindivers. Robert Evans Jr., and Bernie Forth, Syracuse University students, said the 160-foot vessel appears to be partially burned but anchors and other equipment are intact. BLM Awards Contracts For Supplying Seed The bureau of land manage ment has awarded contracts of S85.'455 and S28.500 to the Man ning Seed company, Seattle, Wash., and Woodseed, Inc., Sa lem, supplying 11,593 pounds of douglas fir seed for reforesta tion. Reforestation will be for pub lic lands- in northern California and O and C lands in western Oregon. The bids were the only ones received for 13,000 pounds of seeds.

TERIALS Fresh Water Low Cost Creates Problem Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Cheap, fresh water from the salty ocean with the emphasis on the word cheap. That's the longtime dream that scientists believe may be come reality within the next few years. "Taking the salt out of ocean water is no problem,"' explained Prof. Everett Howe of the Uni versity of California. "What we're looking for is a way of making salt water fresh cheaply enough so that the farm er can buy it for large-scale irri gation." Howe, head of UC's mechani cal division, has been experi menting with various distilling methods since 1952. When he started, the cost for distilling water was a prohibitive S475 per acre-foot. Today, it's a little more than than S100, or about 30 cents for 1,000 gallons. "Our goal is S40 an acre-foot," Howe said, "but first we have to have a full plant in operation for several years to work out practical problems of cost-cutting." Tha Method As Howe pointed out, distilling sea water is really no trick. The island city of Curacao in the Ca ribbean distills two million gal lons daily. But it costs S3 a thousand gallons compared to Howe's 30 cents a thousand. Howe's estimate of S100 an acre-foot is based mainly on the use of a special method called "low temperature difference." "It's one of the most promis ing processes we've found, prin cipally because it requires no outside fuel or power," Howe stated. He explained the process de pends on having water at two different temperatures. Ocean water- is perfect in this case since the surface may be as much as 30 degrees warmer than deep sea water. Here's how the method works: 1. The surface water enters a chamber at low temperature where it cools a few degrees. In coding, the water , gives off heated vapor. The vapor is pure water, completely free of salt. 2. The vapor is sucked out of the evaporator by a vacuum into a condensing chamber where the vapor is cooled by deep sea water. The vapor returns to its water state and is piped off. Not Too Far Off This means that for every 1,000 pounds of water cooled 10 degrees, 10 pounds of pure water is recovered, Howe said. Wrhat power is used to run the plant? Between the cooling chamber and the condensing chamber there is a steam turbine. As the heated vapor is sucked off into ' Mil' B' 't?f i .

Yon buy a refrigerator only two or three times in your lifetime. Yet you don't hesitate to buy one without getting so much as a look at the intricate "works" that makes it run. How do you dare make such an important purchase without having an expert check it over for you? What makes you so sure you're getting your money's worth when you say, "I'll take that one"? The answer's obvious. You look for the brand name on the refrigerator your "guarantee." You've learned to follow this first rule of safe and sound buying: A good brand is your best guarantee No matter what kind of product you want to From Ocean at the condensing chamber, it turns the turbine which provides the power to operate the rest of the plant. "We're not thinking about turning the Great Salt Lake des ert into a garden or anything like that," Howe explained. "But we think we're on the right track of solving some of the western states' critical water shortage and soon!" How soon? "That all depends on when we can get a pilot plant going. All I can say is that it's not a mat ter of 20. years.' Maybe not even 10." Court Records . DISTRICT COURT J. L. Bowers, failure to display PUC permit. S15. Billy Arnold Ross, -no mud flaps, $10.
