Scientists Claim a Viaor Breakthrough: A Popcorn to Be Chewed But Not Heard Washington-UPD - Scientists are claiming a new major breakthrough: They've invent ed noiseless popcorn. A National Geographic so ciety news bulletin reports that the silent type makes little or no noise when chew ed. The silence in movie the aters could become nerve shattering with nothing to be beard but the sound track. Unfortunately, there's a drawback. The noiseless sort isn't actually popcorn. It's made from sorghum and ex- mmmmm AM I mm OLP FASHIONED especially -when used with tht Ashley downdraft thermo- - stot controlled wood heater.

For this reason, the product with the low decibel count isn't yet commerically appealing. Indians Were First Nonetheless, scientists at the Agriculture Department and at Purdue and Cornell universities are carrying on popcorn research that began 20 years ago. The first corn popping was carried out by the American Indians long before there were any .theater lobbies, or for that matter, white men in this country. White settlers took up the idea but popcorn really didn't Two 4-H Clubbers To Receive Awards Truman Elmore, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Elmore, Ap plegate, and Ann Higday, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Her man Higday, Eagle Point, will receive 4-H awards for their work in the swine phase of the 4-H national awards program, according to Marilou Garner, county agent for hom eco nomics. The county medals are do nated by the Moorman Manu facturing company. Miss Higday, an eight-year 4-H member, has been active in the Antelope beef, swine and dairy clubs.

During World War II, the scarcity of sweets con tributed to its popularity and the introduction of popcorn stands in the movie houses created the present day boom Some Won't Pop . The popcorn business now grosses hundreds of millions each year. More than 251 mil lion pounds are grown an nually primarily in Iowa, Indiana, Illinois and other Midwest states. Scientists are still trying to figure out exactly why pop corn pops and why some hy brids explode nicely while other don't even try. They're determined that the ability to pop is related closely to the percentage of soft starch in a kernel the softer the starch, the poorer the popping. They've found that flint corn used for livestock feed pops pretty well; dent corn, another feed type, pops feebly, Four corn and roasting ears won"t pop at all.

The committee pointed out that it recognized that bound ary changes will have to be made later in the original plan in order to comply with the crieria set forth in state law. The master plan includes nine proposals, some of which already have been carried out through consolidation with other districts, and some of which are in the negotiation stage between districts. The nine proposals in the master plan are: j.. Consolidation of the Ea gle Point District 9, Elk-Trail district 45, and Shady Cove district 89. The three distrits consolidated into district 9C Adlai Says GOP Congressmen Are Too Placid Chicago - (UPD - Adlai E. Stevenson, striking at the "failure of White House lead ership," was to leave here for Minneapolis yesterday to cam paign for Minnesota Demo crats. The twice-defeated candi date for president charged here Thursday night that Re publican congressmen were too placid in their acceptance of the Eisenhower administra tion's claims that "all was well at home and abroad." "For six years now, in the face of mounting crisis at home and abroad, the White House has been reassuring America that all was well at home and abroad," he said. Republicans Concur "And the Republicans in Congress have done nothing but concur. "The void left by the fail ure of White House leader ship is being filled by Con gress," he said, "and what will be done will depend to a great extent upon Con gress." Stevenson, who has been campaigning for Democrats as titular head of his party, .lso accused Republicans of de feating the Kennedy-Ives labor bill in the last Congress, thus denying GOP charges that Democrats caused the bill's death. The bill, he said, "would have given honest working men a chance to drive out "the racketeers who have infiltrat ed some unions." President Andrew Jackson's mother and two brothers died in the Revolutionary War. burn areas in the county.

Pinehurst district 94 should become part of the Ashland district 5, the com mittee agreed. 3.

In order to fulfill its ob ligations under the law, the committee agreed that Butte Falls district 91 should be come part of Eagle Point dis trict 9C. Northwest Section 5. Districts in the northwest part of the county, the com mute agreed, should be in cluded in one administration district. Districts involved, in clude Rague River district 35; Evans Valley district 62; Cen tral Point district 6C, and Howard district 100. 6. The committee made no further decision on disposition of Applegate district 40. Alf B. Mekvold, county school superintendent and sec retary of the reorganization committee, was instructed to secure information from Jo sephine county concerning its proposals in compliance with the reorganization law and what decisions they have made concerning Applegate district 40. Submitted Plan Elmer Fleming, Josephine county district superintend ent, said Josephine county al ready has submitted its plan, which requested the continu ation of the present county unit system. He said no action had been taken by Josephine county relative to any area that might wish to become a part of the Josephine county system. Committee members noted that any such action would have to be initiated by the county reorganization com mittee or the district itself which might wish to become a part of a district in another county. Should the law be changed to permit the contin uance of the county unit, amendments would have to be made to the county unit law before any area in an other county could be added, members said. 7. The committee agreed that Lone Pine district 10, and Griffin Creek district 2 should become a part of Medford dis trict 549C. 8. A decision on the dispo sition of Jacksonville district 1 and Ruch district 3 was post poned because the Jackson ville district is conducting a public opinion poll seeking the opinion of residents on reor ganization of the district.
