Newspaper Page TextExtended Study on Glass Fish Floats Starts by College Corvallis Those colorful glass fishnet floats that are periodically found along the Oregon beaches are being eyed by an Oregon State col lege oceanagrapher for their scientific, rather than the usual souvenir, value. Dr. Wayne V. Burt, who has been making an extended study of Oregon's ocean geography for the past five years, believes the glass floats may provide some new Information about ocean cur rents. Because It is generally be lieved that the floats come from Japan via the main cur rent systems, Burt is also con tacting Japanese officials and Peach Leaf Curl Is Reported in Area Nothing can be done about peach leaf curl at this time, according to Clifford B. Cor dy, county horticultural agent. Trees so affected have leaves which curl up, turn red and die, he explained. New leaves appear soon afterwards, he added. Trees with peach leaf curl should be kept espe cially well fertilized and wa tered. Sprays containing neu tral copper can be applied Oct. 15 and again in January, he said. The county horticultural agent said he has received a number of calls on this problem. mm mm mm A GALLON (Save ever $2.00) DURING GENERAL PAINT'S SPRING PAINT SALE AT SISKIYOU HARDWARE 225 W. Main, Medford ALEXANDER HARDWARE Central Point S&H Green Stamps research workers for infor mation. In his study of how the floats travel here from Japan, Burt is especially interested in the fact large n u mb e r s of floats are found at one time. A Newport fishing boat, for example, found 103 flo3ts during 2Vz hours on April 10. Lincoln beach residents also found dozens of the Japanese floats about then and all of them are believed to have been pre-war models. This may mean, Burt point ed out, that floats are being concentrated in ocean eddies for long periods of times and then brought ashore in a group by a change in the wind or current system. Or, it could be that some storm or accident has freed a large number of floats at one time, he continued He is asking the Japanese for information on types of floats being used, float losses and storms. He is hopeful that contacts can be made with Japanese oceanographers and fisheries workers so that in formation about losses there, and findings here, can be checked out. With such an arrangement, new information might be de veloped on driftspeeds and currents, he noted. Information Wanted Burt also is requesting that Oregonians who have infor mation about finding floats write to him. He is interested in knowing when floats were first found, when found in large numbers, where they were found, and what types were found. "Ocean currents are actual ly more changeable than people think," Burt explained. "They don't change as fast or often as wind currents, of course, but they do make significant changes." People normally think that Oregon currents always trav el south but on two of 12 Oregon cruises made in re cent years by the Scripps In stitution of Oceanography, it was found that currents were traveling rather rapidly to ward the north, he added. More studies are needed, in fact, to determine what is "normal" in terms of cur rents, water temperature and salinity off the Oregon coast, he said. Glass Noses Seen For Guided Missiles Syracuse, N.Y. (IP) Guided missiles of the future may have glass noses, according to James Davis, a Corning Glass Co. scientist. A steel-like glass, called py roceram, has been developed for missiles and space ships, he said, and some cone-shaped noses for missile already have been molded. He said the glass is even harder than flint and high-carbon steel. Its best features, he added, are that pyroceram can with stand the intense heat of air friction and yet leave the path clear for electronic signals.

He suggested that the ship be converted to provide dor mitory and classroom space for about 400 students to be taken on 10-week study tours. There would be four sailings a year. Students would aid in manning the ship.

Grain Elevators Destroyed by Fire Davenport, Wash. (IP) Fire destroyed two grain elevators near Lamona, in southern Lincoln county Thursday night. Firemen said the flames continued smoldering late into the night in grain that cascaded from the buildings as the fire consumed the structures. One of the buildings con tained about 75,000 bushels of wheat, barley and rye. Firemen said the blaze started about 6 p.m. in the 100-foot high elevators owned by the Odessa Union Ware house Co. A worker at the site reported he saw sparks flying from the roof of one of the buildings as he was leav ing work and summoned the fire department. . Ross L. Reiman, Odessa, warehouse company manager, estimated the damage at 5200,000 but said the build ings and grain had complete insurance coverage.
