' (International Soundphoto) Porter's Bill Would Reinvest Forest Funds For Recreational Use Twin on Moon Trip Would Be Younger Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) If twin brothers flipped a coin to see which would be the first to take a space ship to the nearest satellite, the brother who took the trip would be two and a half years younger than his stay-at-home brother by the time he returned to earth. University of California physi cist Frank S. Crawford believes he has found grounds for this basic tenet of Einstein's theory of relativity which suggests that motion causes space and time to contract. Reporting in the journal, Na ture, his idea that space travel would make people age more slowly. Dr. Crawford said he found support for the "clock paradox'' in his analysis of time-of-flight studies of mesons. Mesons are high speed particles produced in cosmic rays and now generated in powerful atom smashers. Other scientists, both British and American, have been conducting time studies of this type. The question Dr. Crawford in vestigated was: "Do high speed mesons (like space travelers) age slower than mesons at rest" Dr. Crawford said the answer is "yes." The meson lifetimes are meas ured in millionths of a second two-millionths of a second for the meson at rest and 30-mil-lionths of a second for mesons in motion in the experiments analyzed. Dr. Crawford indicated that until space travel is well-developed, data on the Einstein para dox can be obtained only by the Washington (Special) Rep. Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.), has introduced a bill to reinvest part of each year's profits from our national forests in the recre ation business. The bill is identical to that introduced by Congressman Lee Metcalf (D-Mont.), on which hearings were held last year. It would: (1) Declare public receation use of the national forests a pol icy of Congress. There Is no such policy now. (2) Earmark 10 per cent of the national forest receipts each year for development, maintain ance and operation of recreation facilities and areas; provide for adequate safety, sanitation and health, and improvement and maintenance of wildlife habitat. The amount so set aside shall not exceed $11 million in any one year. Greatest Good "Our national forests were es tablished more than 50 years ago to provide the greatest good to the greatest number of peo ple in the long run," Porter said in commenting on the bill. "This same policy applies to day to our system of 149 nation al forests, in which each of us is a shareholder, covering 181 million acres from Alaska to Puerto Rico and in 40 states. "Watershed protection and timber production are the pri primary objectives of our na tional forests. In the past few years, however, there have been hlge and rapid increases in the other multipurpose uses, includ ing grazing, wildlife and recre ation. In this bill, we hope to helo the Forest Service develop and strengthen the latter uses, because our national forests pro vide the last great public-access area for millions seeking recre ation. 8 Cents Per Visitor "Each year, more Americans spent at least part of their va cations in our national forests. Last year 45 V4 million Ameri cans did so more than twice the total number of visitors in 1946. Last year, we appropriated $3.7 million for the Forest Ser- HIS PRIVILEGE Windsor, Ont. (U.R) A few minutes after receiving his citi zenship certificate, Lambert Hamminga of Kingsville exper ienced one of the "privileges" of a Canadian citizen. He walked out of the Court building,- found a parking ticket on his car and went back in to pay the $2 fine with the comment,"It's ' a pleas ure."

In other words we were willing to spend 8 cents per visitor on recreation facili ties built in the CCC days which are falling apart. "Our national forests are mak ing money for us. Receipts in fiscal 1956 totaled almost $112 million. That same year we spent $94 million on national forest programs. So $18 million went into the Treasury from operation of our national forests. "As prudent businessmen, we should reinvest some of this pro fit in the business, the .recrea tion business. Turkey Process Methods Change Fargo, N.D. U.R) New de velopments are bringing notice able changes to the turkey pro cessing industry, according to Lloyd Forness, extension poul try marketing agent at North Dakota State College. Forness said "processing plants are increasing in the pro duction areas of the country and decreasing in the larger cities." "Poultrymen have found that refrigerated transporta tion makes shipping dressed poultry practical, he said. Assembling costs are considerably less, and there is less loss from shrinkage when live birds are spared a long trip to the central market." He said large chain store oper ators have found it more conven ient and economical to buy di rectly from large-scale proces sors located in the producing area. Although most processing operations have been shifted to the producing area. Forness said, the number of plants in relation to past years is down consider ably. This is due to the increase in size of operations. New ma chines and greater efficiency have modernized the turkey pro cessing industry. Forness said practically all processing plants are now pro ducing a bird that is eviscerated and packaged ready for the oven. This switch from New York-dressed operations has ac tually resulted in less cost to the plant operators. Cucumber Seedlings Aid In Virus Disease Study Geneva, N. Y. (U.R) The State Agricultural Experiment Station here has come up with a short cut in the detection of virus diseases in stone fruits through the use of cucumber seedings. The process, known as "in dexing," enables plant scientists to separate virus-free from dis eased budwood for use in pro pagating healthy nursery trees. By this method, leaf juice ex tracts of the fruits to be tested are inoculated into the seed leaves of the cucumber. Within five to eight days virus symp toms appear in the cucumber plants if the viruses are present in the leaf juices. HORNBROOK Grange Schedules Party BY MRS. H. H.
