Awards Citations
Presented at Safety
Council Banquet
Six awards and citations
were presented to local firms
and individuals at the annual
awards banquet of the Med
ford Safety Council Friday.
Mrs. Maxine Horton, 3333
Dark Hollow rd., Medford,
was presented the Saved-A-Life
award by Jackson
County Sheriff Joseph Walsh.
Distinguished Citizen Safety
Awards were presented to
Mrs. J. W. Grigsby, Jackson
ville, and Medford Police
Capt. Clyde Fichtner.
Kogap Lumber Industries,
Medford, received the new
Hull award for industrial
safety, Timber Products com
pany was singled out for a
special safety citation and the
Jackson County sheriffs de
partment received the Coun
cil's 1958 Traffic Safety
award.
Commends Mrs. Hoi ton
Walsh commended Mrs.
Horton and noted that it was
her action which saved the
life of a driver at the scene
of an .accident. The driver,
pinned in the vehicle which
had overturned in a roadside
ditch, was unable to keep his
head out of the water. Walsh
noted that Mrs. Horton's ac
tion saved the driver from
drowning.
The action was noteworthy
because Mrs. Horton had
been involved in the accident
and still maintained the pres
ence of mind necessary to
cope with the situation, Walsh
noted.
For the first time since lo
cal safety awards have been
presented, Mrs. Grigsby and
Captain Fichtner were pre
sented Distinguished Citizen
Safety awards for their part
in the Council's activity for
which they have never receiv
ed proper community recog
nition. C. D. (Swede) Larson, 1959
president of the Medford Safe
ty council, presented the
award to Mrs. Grigsby, and
B. B. Bigham, immediate past
president, presented the
award to Capt. Fichtner.
Jerry Lausmann received
the Hull award on behalf of
Kogap. The award, named in
honor of the late Frank HulL
a charter member of the Med
ford Safety Council, was pre
sented by Dan Hull, brother
of Frank Hull.
Plaqu Retained
The Hull Award plaque
will be retained by the win
ner each year until a new
winner is selected, a proced
ure which will be followed
annually for 12 years or until
one firm wins it three con
secutive years, at which time
it becomes the company's per
manent property. .
The winner of the indust
rial safety classification is
determined on the basis of
percentage of increase in
safety records from the pro
ceding year and is intended
as an incentive for any com
pany to improve its safety
record.
James Dunlevy, president
of the Medford city council
representing Mayor John
Snider, presented Timber
Products company with the
special safety citation.
The council also recogniz
ed Idean Cement company,
Gold Hill, for an exceptional
safety records during the past
few years. The company had
previously been honored by
the National Safety Council
for outstanding records of
achievement in the field of
industrial safety.
Sgt. William J. Colbert,
Newport, noted that it was
only through the support of
citizen safety groups and of
ficial enforcement agencies
that any measure of improve
ment in the safety picture
could be achieved.
Portland-tUPD-The Portland
school board has voted unan
imously to ask the Legisla
ture to study finances for the
next two years to lead to a
new formula for distribution
of state aid.

Movie Industry
Conditions Noted
Beverly Hills, Calif.- (UPD -
Pioneer moviemaker Samuel
Goldwyn Tuesday night called
conditions in the movie in
dust'ry the worst in 47 years
He urged producers to make
fewer but better-quality pictures.
Goldwyn, presented the
Milestone Award for his his
toric contribution to the
American motion picture by
the Screen Producers Guild,
told the group much of the
industry's present trouble
comes from producers, direct
ors and writers trying to do
each other s jobs.
"Let the directors direct,
the writers write and pro
ducers produce," he said.
He also scored movie, stars
who "demand and get a half
million dollars, three quarters
of a million dollars, a million
dollars a picture and a huge
share of the gross of the prof
its in addition."
The U.S. Tariff Commis
sion says that in terms of dol
lar value antibiotics were the
most important medicinals
produced in this country in
1957.
Prove it to yourself with a
Commission and transfer of
its duties to the state treas
urer was recommended in HB
118. The bill, introduced by
the State and Federal Affairs
Committee at the request of
the Interim Committee on I
Government Reorganization,

mittee to advise him on in
vestments. Other Highlights
Taxes: Among 25 bill Intro
duced in the House was HB
85 which levies a gross in
come tax of 1 per cnt on earn
ings of seasonal agriculture
workers with no personal ex
emptions, deductions or cred
its allowed. The tax would

property tax.
Tax Program: Sen. Anthony
Yturri and Rep. Robert L.
Elfstrom, Republican minority
leaders, asked the Democratic
majority to "gear the legis
lative schedule to a speed that
will allow Hatfield to present
his tax program to the legis-

X Chromosome
May Contribute
To Longevity
Washington -(Science Service)-
The chromosome that
helps determine, sex in hu
mans - the X chromosome -has
been found to be three
times larger than the Y chro
mosome, two geneticists re
ported here.
Since the female has two
X chromosomes while the
male has one X and one Y,
this may help explain some
of the differences between
the sexes.;.
. As a consequence jof the
larger size of the X chromo
some, the human female cell
is about four per cent greater
than the male in chromosome
volume. Thus, the female has
a "substantially richer gene
tic capacity." Drs. J. H. Tjio
and T. T. Puck said in the
Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences that this
may contribute to tne re
male's greater longevity.
Other differences, such as
differences in response to X
ray irradiation and the nature
of malignant growths, might
be explained by the sex chro
mosome size difference, tne
geneticists believe.
Further' Evidence
Drs. Tjio and Tuck, respec
tively of the Estacion Experi
mental de Aula Dei, Zara
goza, 'Spain, and the Univer
sity of Colorado Medical Cen
ter, Denver, also studied the
number of chromosomes
found in human cells. Further
evidencew as reported that
the "real" somatic, or body
cell, chromosome number of
humans is 46. Previously it
was believed to be 48.
Cells from various organs
in 13 persons were analyzed
and exact chromosome counts
performed oh almost 2,000
cells. More than 95 per cent
of these revealed 46 chromo
somes, the scientists reported.
They also divided the chro
mosomes into eight groups on
the basis of size, position of
the centromere and the pos
session of a satellite body.
(The centromere is a small
round body that divides the
chromosome into "arms" and
is believed to play the im
portant role of "nucleolar or
ganizer" in cell division.)
A total of 74 individuals
have now been studied whose
chromosome count is 46
rather than the classical 48.
