Extended 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.

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.

Les Bedierman, president
of Northwest Michigan Col

asked members of Michigan's
congressional delegation for
aid in securing a surplus
Liberty ship for use as a float

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.

mean for students to be able
actually to visit the Parthen

places," Beiderman said.

college school of forestry and
the Royal college of forestry
of Sweden will be joint spon
sors for a Swedish-American
forest research and develop

holm, Sweden, June 3 to 6.
The conference is part of
the six-week tour of indus
trial forestry operations in
Europe being sponsored this

school.
The tour will start from
the west coast on May 16 and
end July 10 in Paris. It was
arranged to give American
forestry leaders an oppor
tunity to observe and discuss
the intensive forestry meth
ods now employed in Europe,
Designed for Leader
The conference in Stock
holm, designed for forestry
leaders of both countries,
will emphasize the intensive
forest management practices
and wood processing tech
niques used in Sweden in the
light of their application to
forestry operations in the
U.S.
Sweden is recognized
throughout the world for its
highly scientific approach to
the problems of forest man
agement and for the inte
grated character of its wood
using industries, college offi
cials noted.
Dr. Thorsten Streyffert, di
rector of the Swedish Royal
college of forestry, will be
conference chairman. -Dr. J.
R. Dilworth, head of the OSC
forest management and tour
director, will be vice chair
man.

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. Cause of
the fire was not determined.

you can have your dream bouse this easy way!
A dream? Not at all. Thousands of
people with modest incomes have been
able to save the down payment, or the
whole price, of the home of their dreams
'because they invested in U. S. Savings
Bonds on the Payroll Savings Plan where
they work.
You, too, can accumulate enough money
for the down payment on a home. Or
enough for your children's college edu
cation or a retirement income. And b)
saving only a few dollars a week, too.
The answer is that you save systematical!)
on the Payroll Savings Plan. Ail you have
to do is tell your pay office how much
you've decided to save each payday (it
can be as little as a couple of dollars):
After that your money is saved for you, .
befort you get your salary. Then each
time enough has accumulated, it is in
vested in a Bond, and the Bond turned
over to you.
And remember your U. S. Savings
Bonds now will bring you an average of
3 interest, compounded semiannually,
for 19 years and 8 months. That's why the
money you put into Bonds now grows
to such a surprisingly big sum.

you work, for the Payroll Savings Plan.
