New York Air Force Secretary Donald A.

Fire Chief Reviews Ways of Preventing Fires at Christmas Medford Fire Chief Gordon Baker today urged citizens to acquire Christmas decorations that are fire resistive or that have been tested for safety, that will bear a UL tag denoting Un derwriters' Laboratories, Inc. Baker recommende'd that elec trical toys or toys that produce heat beara UL tag. A ULtagged toy will not shock the user 'or start a fire, he said. The fire chief stated that care should be used in purchasing chemical sets for children. Toys, requiring alcohol, kerosens, gas oline or carbide lamps may be hazardous with children, he said. Discussing Christmas trees, .Baker said it is safer to select a small one. "Keep the tree out doors until a few days before setting it up," he said. When bringing the tree inside cut the butt slantwise to open the pores, then stand it in a tub of water. Baker recommended. He warned that people should be wary of chemicals or other 'sub stance sold for "fire-proofing" trees. 0 In placing the tree, Baker On The Side (Distributed by King Another beautiful brisk sunny morning in Manhattan for a stroll through Central Park.

The sea lions were showing off as usual. Only the coyote seem ed discontented. He was pacing in and down and apparently in a nasty mood. Stopping at the Zoo reminded me of when I used to take our springer spaniel walking in the park. Dogs are not allowed in the Zoo area.. That was the source of much' regret to me.

He cautioned people about us ing untreated paper ornaments or cotton batting or gauze for decoration. Cotton and gauze can be made flame-resistive by dip ping in a gallon of water mix ed with nine ounces of borax and four ounces of boric acid. Baker added that flimsy party costumes can be made flame resistive the same way. Candles and frayed electric cords also are fire hazards, he noted. Among other safety features for fire protection are keeping the switch for turning on tree lights a distance from the tree; do not use an outlet or plug un der the tree; and do not run electric trains around the base. Most Christmas fires occur after Christmas, Baker said, when people burn trees in the yard, furnace or fire place.

Fashions for Men "Double breasted jackets made single breasted." Such is a sign noted on a tailor shop on Mad ison ave., in the elegant east eighties. Surely a tailor in that neighbor hood should know what's what as to fashions for men. The double breasted suit is evidently on the way out. Any way, I am right on the beam. My last two suits were made single breasted. It was my girl friend's- idea. The tailor agreed with her. sSo I made it unan imous. These 'turned out to be very nice appearing suits.

November 29. 1956 Plans for Nursing Profession to Seek Law Revision Told Plans of the nursing profes sion in Oregon to seek a revision in the state law governing nurs ing were reported today by Mrs. Don Monteith, 25 North Keene Way, president of District 4 (Jackson county) of the Oregon State Nurses association. Mrs. Monteith said a draft of a proposed amending bill was adopted at the recent state con vention of the association in Eu gene. It provides for the first major changes in nursing legis lation since the original law was passed in 1911. Purpose of the act, according to Mrs. Monteith, is to regulate the practice of professional graduate nurses. Define Profession It would more closely define the profession, Mrs. Monteith pointed out, and provide for the examination and issuance of li censes for registered profession al nurses, and provide for the accreditation of schools of nurs ing in the state. The act will provide that if a registered nurse had not prac ticed professional nursing in any state for five years, the board of nursing examiners would re quire the applicant to demon strate ability before reissuing a license. The applying nurse would have to undergo a super vised experience in nursing practice as designated by the board. It will also provide for ex aminations and qualifications for anyone designated a regis tered nurse and would give OSNA considerable police pow er over such . nurses. Grounds for revocation and suspension of licenses are also provided. Since the present law does not clearly state the powers and duties of the board to survey all schools of nursing in the state and to accredit such schools as fulfilling the requirements, these provisions have been add ed to clarify current functions of the board, Mrs. Monteith said. Responsibility The positions of responsibility held by the registered nurse make it imperative that she be qualified by education in accred ited schools of nursing and that practice be governed by regula tions that relate to her know ledge, duties, functions, perfor mances and personal integrity, she added. Mrs. Nova Young. Portland, chairman of the legislative com mittee for OSNA, pointed out at the convention that the medi cal profession has had a Medi cal Practice Act for many years. But, she said, nursing has chang ed and the profession feels it needs a new law to define more closely the responsibilities of a nurse. For instance, Mrs. Young ex plained, the new act would en dorse the modern practice of having a nurse give' a hypoder mic or other intramuscular or intravenous piercing of tissues. Mrs. Young said that it is common practice for a physic ian's registered nurse to give such "shots" but no law has ever made it legal or ethical practice. She added that such action would be taken only under the doctor's orders. Hungarian Refugee Group Seeking Funds Portland The Oregon Com mittee for Hungarian Refugees, Portland, is soliciting funds to bring refugees from New York to homes in Oregon, Don Fris bee, committee finance chair man, has announced. The committee has set as its goal S200 for each refugee to provide transportation and a reserve fund which will be used as a loan to the refugee.- The loan . is to help integrate the refugee into the community, Frisbee said. For additional information or to send donations persons are asked to write the committee in the YMCA building, Portland. was Ann Henry, the currently celebrated chanteuse. Among other successful people Sillman has helped along the highway to fame are Eve Arden, Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda, Van Johnson, Robert Clay, Gypsy Rose Lee and Eartha Kitt. GOOD LUCK TORNADO!

Nut ting reelected vice chairman of the 15-man Oregon and Cali fornia advisory board for the Medford forest district recently. The board approved a sale plan for an estimated 140,000, 000 board feet of O and C timber in 1957, an increase of about 40,000,000 more than the amount which probably will be sold in 1956. The plan will include 61,000, 000 board feet in the Jackson master unit, 51.000.000 board meet in the Josephine master unit and 13.000,000 board feet in the Klamath unit. Available Data Based on available data, the allowable annual sustained yield timber harvest from O and C lands in the Medford district is 122,000,000 board feet. How ever, the harvest budget op erates on a five-year average. Since sales during previous years have been less than 122,000,000 board feet, a surplus will be available next year. District Forester E. K. Peter son of the bureau of land man agement said interest was in dicated in having more federal timber placed on the market be cause of the acute shortage of available timber. He reported that BLM forest ers would make an attempt to put the indicated volume of BLM timber up for sale without reducing forest management. The district is still short of per sonnel and operating funds in Five From' Ashland Planning to Attend TEPS Conference Ashland Eastern Oregon col lege at LaGrande will be the site of the annual conference of the Teacher Education and Pro fessional Standards committee, a national commission of the NEA. Representatives from among teachers, business leaders, agri culture, and government, plan to attend from three states. From Ashland Area Among representatives who will attend from the Ashland are are Dr. Alva Graham, di rector of graduate studies at Southern Oregon college; Jim McDonald, a student at SOC and state president of Future Teach ers of America; Dr. Bill Samp son, chairman of the education division at SOC; Chester Squire, principal at Briscoe school; and Bruce Hitt, representing the Jackson County School Super intendents office. The theme of this year's TEPS conference will be "Improving Professional Standards in Teach ing," and will include teacher education programs, certifying members of the professional and accreditation of institutions pre paring them, and personal pol icies for members of the pro fession. Edith Green of Portland will give the banquet address Friday, Nov. 30, and Dr. Wendell Allen, a member of the National com mission on TEPS. will give the keynote address Saturday, Dec- 1.

Consider Withdrawel The board also considered the proposed recreational with drawal of 15,000 acres of O and C lands along Rogue river. The board adopted a resolution in dicating it was interested in the overall use of the land and thought a compromise could be reached on the amount of land withdrawn. The advisory board requested that the secretary of interior give consideration to certain mineralized areas as determined by the state department of geology and mineral industries. Because new surveys are need ed to determine the boundaries of federal lands in this area, the board recommended that a ca dastral engineer be assigned the district on a permanent basis. A projected timber access program extending to 1960 and involving 240 miles of perman ent roads at an estimated cost of S8.000.000, was discussed. Just REGISTER M fYten YOU MAY MACHINE .

I . hi 7 , friend Gerry Pearson Speaks At Lions Club Meet Gerry Pearson, public rela tions director of Hood River Dis tillers, Inc., discussed the HRD vodka processing plant in Hood River at a Medford Lions club meeting Tuesday. Hood River Distillers, she pointed out, is the only regis tered distillery in the northwest and the only vodka processing plant in the World making vodka from "pear neutral spirit." One reason for the popularity of the HRD vodka, she explain ed, is its "breathless after ef fects." HRD also contains less than 20 calories, she added, low er than any other vodka or alco holic beverage. Clarifying a statement in Tuesday's Mail Tribune, Miss Pearson said the Hood River distillery has paid about $5,000, 000 in federal taxes during the last five .years, instead of pay ing that amount next year as stated. Referring to a statement that "Drink Your Way Out of Debt" was the company slogan, she said the company had no such slogan. She spoke at the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce Roundtable Monday.
