(International) Boyer to Address Tillamook Meeting Democratic State Chairman Robert A. Boyer will address party leaders from four coastal counties in Tillamook Saturday, May 11. The meeting is the third of, a series of regional confer ences, being held throughout the state to build county organiza tion and fund-raising in prepara tion for the 1958 campaign. Similar conferences were held at Baker in March and at Mc Minnville April 13. The Tillamook meeting will in clude a luncheon, followed by an Good Windbreaks Cut Fuel Bills Champaign, 111. (U.P.) A Uni versity of Illinois forestry spe cialist says good windbreaks can cut farm fuel bills by 20 to 30 per cent. "What's more," said University of Illinois assistant extension for ester 'Harold Scholten, "cattle protected by windbreaks gained 30 per cent more than unprotect ed cattle on the same ration during recent tests." The tests on cattle were con ducted in Montana. The fuel tests were staged in Montana and South Dakota. "Balled and burlaped trees give best results in starting wind breaks," Scholton said. "Norway spruce and Douglas fir varieties are best for the Illinois area." Scholten emphasized the im portance of using a good mulch aroundthe trees to hold soil mois ture and keep down weeds. "Ground corn cobs are best," he explained, "although sawdust and straw also are satisfactory." Scholten pointed out that windbreak is no substitute for a good fense. "Even with full-grown trees, a good fense around the wind breaks is essential to keep live stock from breaking lower branches and injuring the trees' roots," he explained.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Research Helping Air Force in High Altitude Bombing Buffalo, N.Y. :U.R) Research at Cornell Aeronautical Labora tory, Inc., is providing the Air Force with valuable information concerning the dropping of bombs from planes flying at high speeds. Bomb behavior when the mis sile enters the turbulent air flowing past the plane must be known to insure accuracy - of drops. Once the bomb leaves the turbulent air region, it is simple to predict its trajectory in the relatively calm air furth er below the aircraft. Engineer Wilbert Schwartzap fel recently pointed out the unique testing technique . de veloped by CAL for its bomb drop program, begun in 1952 for the Air Force. Wind V,nnel tests made with scale model bombs released from a B-47 medium bomber model were compared with actual B-47 bomb drops. Camera recordings of the tunnel tests showed that 'dropping of the scale model bombs in the swift air stream successfully simulated actual bomb drop performance. Safa and Economical The wind tunnel technique has resulted in a number of ad vantages. The laboratory is able to forecast the bomb drop char acteristics of a new bomber even before it is built, eliminat ing delays encountered while actual bomb drop tests were conducted with the aircraft it self. This research also has elimi nated the necessity of exposing personnel and valuable aircraft to the hazards of actual bomb drop testing. From an economi cal standpoint, numerous tests can be performed quickly in a wind tunnel at relatively low cost. ' Successful tests, including simulated bomb drops from in ternal bomb bays of big bomb ers and from the wing racks of fighter-bombers, have been performed at up to speed-of-sound wind velocities. ' j At present, the CAL Studies are concerned with the bomb drop characteristics of more ad vanced aircraft with their much higher speeds. Chicken Lays Dozen Eggs Worth $115 East Aurora, N. Y. (U.PJ It's a pretty valuable chicken that can lay a dozen eggs worth $115. But Ralph Mosely of East Au rora voiced the top bid for the prize dozen produced by Nel son Graves Holland poultry man. That's $9.58 per egg and may set a record for the price of hen fruit. The unusual purchase took place at the Erie County Farm and Home Center here in con nection with the annual pbultry school and egg show of the Ex tension service. Mosely, who also walked off with last year's "prize 12," val ued at "only" S52.50 a dozen, gift wrapped each egg separate ly and presented them to coun try weekly newspaper editors with the greeting card, "Happy Easter." Hobbyist Recreates Miniature Vessels Saugatuck, Mich. (U.R) Ab bot Davis has a miniature fleet of most of the lake vessels that sailed from this harbor in the 1860's and 1870's. Davis has recreated accurate replicas on a one-millimeter to one-foot scale. A model of the O. R. Johnson flagship of the Saugatuck sail ing fleet is 142 millimeters long, about the length of a man's forefinger. The models' lifeboats about the thickness of a wood match are equipped with seats, oars and oarlocks. A , miniature schooner has a completely furnished cabin with two bunks, a stove, table, chairs, lamp and a galley complete with tiny utensils. - .

(International Soundphoto) Food Superstitions Cited by Professor Los Aneeles (U.R) If von be lieve any of the following, you are wrong: That you can lose weight by not drinking water. That aluminum cooking pots cause cancer. ... That fish is brainfood. That milk causes mucous. That skim milk has all its food value removed. Dr. Cora Miller, assistant nro- fessor of foods and nutrition at the University Of California, cited the above as just some of the surierstitions still common about food. Her answers to these are: Water has weieht but it cer tainly cannot form tissue of any kind and therefore, cannot be fat tening. Aluminum pots have no con nection with cancer. Fish is good for you but it won't help your brain. Probably the belief started because fish does contain iodine which is nec essary for your thyroid gland, but so do a lot of other foods. Milk does not produce mucous although it does give the sensa tion of a film like that experi enced in phlegm formation dur ing a cold. Skim milk contains all tne nu trients of the original milk ex cept the fat and fat-soluble sub stances. Tax Collectors Lose Lucrative Pay T,-4(cV,,,rBh (U.R) Two Pitts burgh area tax collectors, whose earnings have oeen me envy w many a successful Dusmess w professional man, were thrown for a loss recently. The collectors, wno naa dct" working on a commission basis, were placed on flat salaries. The action came after it was disclosed by the county cierK oi cour that district collectors earned more than half a million dollars last year. In nearby Penn Township, where collector Albert P. Dible's earnings were just shy or J".""" in 1956, commissioners set a sal ary of about $14,000. Stowe Township's collector will, earn a maximum of $7,500 annually between 1958 and 1962. The Stowe tax collector earned ,v,,r 13 nno in 1956. with de clared expenses of about $7,000. Of AUegheny County's 125 boroughs and townships, collect ors are paid on a commission. ba sis in all but four districts. Here is the total income and expenses reported by some collectors in 19oo: Monroeville Borough, $18,868; Wct Mifflin Rnrnuoh S20.843: Shaler Township, $25,587; Ross TownshiD. $30,346. and Scott Township, $22,006. , Costs May Price Homes Out of Range Chicago (U.R) The continued rise of labor costs in home con struction may soon price home- owning out of range of the aver age working man,, according to two building experts at Armour Research Foundation of the Illi nois Institute of Technology. "When the average working man can no longer afford to buy a home." said Alexander Pudu- lidy, "the construction industry will be in a desperate situation." Pupulidy pointed, out that 20 years ago materials .made up about 60 per cent of the cost of a house and 40 per cent went for labor. , Today, he said, the situation has been reversed and labor ac counts for the 60 per cent. S. A. Bortz, a fellow engineer, said one result of the rising la bor cost will be more factory- built, mass-produced housing. Bortz said that eventually the majority of homes may -be put together in units such as ready wired wall panels that can be locked quickly together on the site of the house urfder construc tion. Both men agreed there would have to be wide revision of build ing codes to take into account the use of new materials which factory construction methods would allow. 0 tlKflfKHBK o Lea Motors 5th at Bartlett Phone SP 2-6185 How to give Mother two mouths of . . ..." leisure every year... u 0 0 u D 0 Wouldn't you spend 23c a day to eliminate dishwashing for Mom?
