Michigan became a territory in 1805 with a population of less than 9,000. Miniature Airport To Test Jet Noise Lafoxlll U.R) Scientists seeking ways of cutting the screaming noise made by jet air craft in flight have built a mini ature airport here to test the effects of weather and atmos phere on sound. Physicists from the Illinois In stitute of Technology already have learned that less noise reaches the ground in summer than in winter and when jets fly in a certain direction of the wind. The Lafox experimental sta tion used in the study is equip ped with ground-air radio fa cilities and an observation tower. A plane is used as the noise source and is flown at various distances from a micro phone. ' An operator on the ground di rects the flight pattern flown by the pilot and controls a maze of scientific apparatus designed to measure atmospheric character istics during each flight. Information learned from the sky by the scientists will be turned over to the Air Force for use in locating airports of the future and improving the opera tion of those now in existence. Bob Baker 3-2 Pick in Fight New York (U.PJ Bob Ba ker, the big Pittsburgh boxer who has flubbed all his chances of gaining a shot at the heavy weight title, is a 3-2 choice to' snap Willie Besmanoff's string of 12 victories to night at St. Nicholas arena.

(U.R) Top Dem ocratic candidates in what has been described as the most un predictable free for all in Texas political history predicted today it will be one of their party who comes out winner Tuesday in a special Senate election. Eighteen Democrats and two Republicans are seeking the of fice. There is no runoff high man wins. One of the Republicans, attor ney Thad Hutcheson of Houston, a political novice, has the back ing of President Eisenhower, Vice President Richard M. Nix on and his state GOP organiza tion. , Democrats Split Hutcheson's chances are en hanced by the split in the Demo cratic ranks although the state by tradition sends Democrats to the Senate. But the Houston attorney faces stiff competition in an election that may see only 800,000 vot ers go to the polls. The leading Democratic con tenders in the race are Congress- man-at-large Martin Dies, who has carried his campaign across the state; Ralph Yarborough, an Austin attorney who came with in 3,000 votes of upsetting Price Daniel in the latter's bid for the governorship last summer; Agriculture Commissioner John White; state Sen. Searcy Brace well from Houston, and James P. Hart of Austin, former chan cellor of the University of Texas and a former justice of the Texas Supreme Court. NEWS NOTES from Medford High School Edited by James Boyd; staff: Jacque Colton, Lirtda Robert ion. Ed 'Albright, and Bob Bright. (Author's note: Mike Trav is, a MHS senior, wrote a term paper on the Wyoming jack alope. This paper has caused so much discussion that Mike was asked to deliver lectures to some of the biology classes. During these hour - long ex positions Mike explained this elusive creature. (Since some doubting Thom ases have questioned the au thenticity of this animal, the following is Mike's report on the Wyoming jackalope "An telocrapra falsus fallacia doug-lasia.")

Main St., 2nd Floor PHONE: 3-5301 Two-Way Radio Will Link Buses Rochester, N.Y. U.R) "This is bus operator 63, calling to re port a mechanical breakdown . . . passengers getting impatient . . . suggest sending relief bus." This is the kind of direct com munication that will result when the Rochester Transit Corp. in augurates a novel experiment soon. RTC President William A. Lang said his company will in troduce the first use of two-way radio communication with buses by any urban transit company in the United States. The test, under which trans ceiver units may be installed in 25 buses by May 1, was arranged under an agreement between Rochester Transit and Strom-berE-Carlson, a division of Gen eral Dynamics Corp. Stromberg Carlson here is developing the special two-way radio equipment to be used. During a 60 to 90-day trial period, officials of the two firms will join in an intensive study of the system to evaluate the vari ous factors involved in extending it to RTC's whole fleet of buses. Lang expects marked improve ments beneficial to bus riders. He noted that bus operators will be able to report immediately any traffic delays, unexpected concentration of passengers, ac cidents or mechanical difficul ties. This will make it possible to initiate immediately whatever measures may be necessary to correct the trouble, he added. Both Lang and Robert C. Tait, Stromberg-Carlson president, ex pressed confidence the test will prove the system worthwhile with resultant equipment of all RTC's nearly 300 buses before the end cf 1957. . "April 1 The jackalope was first discovered in 1829 by Roy Ball, a Wyoming fur trapper. This animal is perhaps the most unique creature in North Am erica. He was conceived in a moment of confusion (perhaps during a lightening storm) as a hybrid cross between an antel ope and a jack rabbit. The re sult is a large brown animal with a rabbit-like body and a very curious pair of horns perched on top of his 'harey' head. Name Translated "Dr. Edward N. O'Neil, head of the foreign languages depart ment of the University of Ore gon, translates the name given to the jackalope by the Wyom ing Wildlife magazine as follows: Antelo, swept back 'much like the swept wing Dodge'; capra; goat; falsus and fallacia, of a de ceiving appearance; and doug lasia, referring to Douglas, Wy oming, where the jackalope was first reported. "The jackalope is found main ly in the eastern part of Wyom ing where it lives on sagebrush roots and nativus irgnoramus. There are reports of many scat tered sightings in other parts of the country. The last uncon firmed report is that unknown to the Oregon Fish and Game commission a Medford High Eng lish teacher has introduced this 'beastie' into Oregon. "Robert 'Red' Fenwick of the Denver Post reports that the jackalope is unlike other ani mals who prefer to mate by the light of the full moon. The jack alope mates only by the glare of lightening flashes. This seems to electrify its sense of romance and shocks it into the realiza tion that there are boy jackal opes and girl jackalopes. "This is just a partial report on the wild Wyoming jackalope. If anyone in this area knows more about this f acinating . ani mal please contact Mike Travis. "Remember, jackalopes are real." Seniors swept all six places in the recent essay contest spon sored by the Ladies auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The topic for the contest was "America's Crusade for Free Men's Rights." First place went to Jacque Colton, second to Linda White and third to Tim Hillerman. Honorable mention was earned by Glenna Brewold; Sue Donna Doolen, and Bill Frake. Approximately 40 essays from Mrs. Harriet Tobin's advanced senior English classes were sub mitted to be judged along with those of other schools in the dis trict. The first three winners will appear on television next Thurs day to receive their $25, $15 and $1G prizes. Jacque Colton's composition will now be enter ed in state competition and has a chance for the top national prize of $1,000. The Medford - Hi-Times, the MHS paper, achieved a first class rating for the first sem ester from the National Schol astic Press association. Out of a possible 2,299 points, the lowest in this class being 1,900, the paper was rated with 2,050 points. All American, the next rating, is the highest any paper can obtain. The students in Mr. James Johnston's third period physics class were intently absorbing the instructor's electrifying lec ture and demonstration on static discharge last week. Johnston reminded the class to be very cautious in handling the high voltage equipment. As he turned to finish his demonstration, he reached for a half discharged Leyden jar and received the shock of his life. Still a little unnerved, he gave the same demonstration during sixth period physics class. Two rods, one hard rubber and one Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport glass, were being used to pro duce a small static charge. To his perplexity, the glass . rod wasn't working well. . In the middle of the experi ment, a student in the front row asked an unanswerable question. Johnston, with a dash of dram atic license added, slammed what he must have thought was the rubber rod on the demonstration table for emphasis. The glass rod shattered in his hand. Looking up sheepishly, he re marked, "Well, I didn't want it anyway." President Travels At Slower Speed; Neuberger Pleased Washington. U.R) President Eisenhower slowed down Sun day and critics of his high speed auto trips cheered. The President drew caustic comments over the week end for his driver's 70-mile-an-hour speeds en route to his Gettys burg, Pa., farm Friday. Takes Back Road Sunday, Mr. Eisenhower, with his wife and mother-in-law along, motored back to the capi tal at a more leisurely speed. By-passing Rockville, Md., near where newsmen were flagged down Friday for exceed ing the speed limit trying to keep up with the President, the Chief Executive took a back route to the White House. Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) who had denounced the President's speeding as "evident disregard" for traffic and safety laws, told the United Press he was "pleased" that the Presi dent on his return trip "follow ed the traffic laws like any good motorist should." Must Set Example Neuberger said the tragic ac cident toll on the nation's high ways makes it "imperative" for "the President of the United States to set an example for American motorists." Mr. Eisenhower has made no comment on the attacks on his auto speed. The President was clocked Friday at 1 hour and 45 minutes for the 79-mile trip to his farm. It took him 2 hours and 27 min utes Sunday to make the 85-mile back-road journey. About 95 per cent of the world's bathtubs are in the U.S. The average length of a new born infant is now about 20 inches, an increase over previ ous years. About 5,000 unpaid volun teers furnish important data each day for the United States weather bureau. About one-third of the popula tion of Manitoba ' province in Canada lives within the city of Winnipeg. Monday, April I, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE. Four Nebraska Hunters Provide Comfort in Lodge Wood River, Neb. (U.R) Four Nebraskans have added so many refinements to duck hunting that "roughing it" is a meaningless expression to them. Wayne Culp, Don and Merwin Detweilers and Ben Stumpff built a hunting lodge and a cabin on the Piatt river near here that provide more comfort than many men find in their own living rooms. On a towhead in the Piatt, they have built a one-room cabin equipped with all the modern conveniences, including a pri vate telephone that connects the adjoining blind with the lodge on the shore The cabin is heated withpro pane gas and is lighted in. the same manner. It has a refrigera tion unit for perishable foods, running water, built-in cabinets filled with food and -comfortable furniture. The shooting gallery adjoins the cabin to the south. It is three feet wide and 14 feet long and can accommodate six hunters easily.' A four-foot concrete wall protects the hunters from the raw south wind. The Lodge ' The gallery is entered simply by stepping out of the cabin door. The hunters can get hot coffee by reaching into a small nook in the cabin side which is enclosed in double doors. The entire layout is complete ly camouflaged by a natural growth of willows and under brush. The hunters reach the blind by means of an amphibious ve hicle equipped with .four B-29 tires which navigates the two-foot-deep water with ease. The vehicle is a surplus Army truck. The lodge on the bank of the river is even more elaborate than the one-room dwelling on the towhead. It is equipped with four bunk beds with inner spring mattresses, the latest type re frigerator, electricity, an electric stove, running water, plumbing and a larder which resembles a small grocery. Italian Native, 92r Enjoying America Philadelphia U.R A 92-year- old native of Santo Stephano Medio, Italy, who has never seen snow, or travelled on a plane or train in his life, has set tled down in Philadelphia to en joy "the wonders of America." Antonio Amatois living with his son, Angelo. Amato had always dreamed of coming to America, but it was not until the death of his invalid wife last year that he was able to begin making plans to come to the United States to see his eight children, 16 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.' Amato has never smoked, has never taken a drink and eats only two meals a day.
