MAIL TRIBUNE. KUdfofd, Ofgon. Wtdwcday, January 28. 159 Excitement Over Court's Ruling Subsiding, Mrs. Eve Nye Relates Bar Graphs Declared j Easier to Understand Madison, Wis. (Science Serv-ice)-If you must use graphs to illustrate points in your re port to the boss, speech or technical paper, use bar graphs. They are easier to un derstand, report H. M. Cul bertson and R. D. Powers, University of Wisconson agri cultural journalists. The two men, in cooperation with the U. S. Department of Agricul ture, showed that line graphs ran a poor second-particularly if several lines are on each graph and there is shading in between to show divisions of the quantity being graphed. In using bar graphs label them and add figures for extra clarity. ULTIMATE ENERGY San Francisco -(LTD- The ultimate answer to the world's power needs lies not with uranium fission reactors but with hydrogen fusion re actors, according to scientists at Arthur D. Little, Inc., re search and engineering con sultants. Some forms of hydrogen -deuterium and tritium - can be fused at temperatures of millions of degrees with the release of vast amounts of en ergy. With the amount of deu terium in the ocean, each gal lon of sea water contains as much energy as 350 gallons of gasoline, the company said. Ithaca, N.Y. - The 1958 Ithaca College football team had eight married men on the squad with 11 children among them. The college posted a 6-1 record, best in its history. By EVELYN NYE Representative, , ( Jackson County The excitement over the Supreme Court decision which upheld Governor Hatfield's a ppointment of Howell Appling a s Sacretary of State, is sub siding, al though there was great j u b i 1 a t ion among" the R e publicans when it was The nice part about it was that it was a unanimous de cision, laying low any pos sible doubt over the legality of the present administration and setting a firm precedent for the future, should a simi lar situation ever arise. The feeling around the Capitol seems to be "That's settled. Now let's really get to work." Douglas Seymour, staff writer for the Capitol Jour nal, labeled this legislature "hard working, cooperative and economy minded." H e said: "It appears that both parties are out to prove some thing. The Democrats, who have control of both houses of the Legislature for the first time in this century, are trying to show that they are efficient and can get the leg islative work done in a mini mum of time. The Repub licans in this session seem to be out to prove that they are a responsible minority and will not snipe at good legis lation just because it is pro posed by Democrats." This, with the recent avowal on the part of the Democrats that they intend to consider the Hatfield tax recommenda tions befpre completing the tax program, really adds up to a good climate in which to work. Things Shaping Up As things are shaping up, it looks as though Education and Unemployment Compen sation are to be the battle grounds Where the biggest fights will be waged. The pub licity regarding the threat to withhold state aid from Crook County schools because they do not meet state standards is causing a good deal of con cern, and the -House Educa tion committee immediately questioned members of the state department of education regarding the situation. The press has covered the meeting at length and has high-lighted the two opposing statements made: (1) that the" state department was too len ient in administering the state standards; (2) that there is some doubt as to the consti tutionality of the depart ment's administering of stand ards at all.

SP 2-5702 kit BED ITWTfflTff study should go into the whole matter. What was not brought out is the fact that these are unusual times, with school population and school costs increasing much faster than the tax-paying ability of the people who foot the bills. What is important, I think, is, how good a job of educating children is Prineville doing? Are the citizens of Crook County refusing to meet their responsibilities or are they re belling against a situation that is intolerable? . Standards are necessary if state money is to be used, and they must be enforced, but the Crook county dilemma has raised a question which obviously goes beyond the scope of the Education com mittees of the legislature and will no doubt involve the Judiciary committees. This was old home week for me. Mrs. Harlan Bosworth dropped by my desk on Wed nesday for a chat, having come up to attend the con ference on Indian affairs, and on Friday Frank Van Dyke attended the session and re ceived a round of applause as an ex-speaker of the House. After adjournment Mayor John Snider dropped by to say hello and offer me any help his office might be able to supply. It is becoming apparent that our speaker- is going to be out in front in 'the beard growing contest. His hirsute adornment is something to behold. I think it is becoming but I haven't discussed it with Marijane. Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins Eelgrass Plays Part In Economy of Sea I saw my first eelgrass meadow in a gold-fish bowl. It has been extensively used for an oxygenator in count less aquariums, serving also as a shelter and hiding place for the captive fish. But at that time I had no idea how vast the acreage is of this so-called ribbon-grass in the shallow bays and river mouths that connect or are a part of the oceans, along the Atlantic coast, as well as in many other areas of the world. Eelgrass plays a very im portant part in the economy of the sea. The skin-diver doesn't like the feel of the slippery "ribbons" on his body and the boatman doesn't like to clean the long leaves from the boat propellor, but in the lives of countless sea creatures the eelgrass is very important. Although eelgrass grows in 'the sea it is not a seaweed, it is not even relat ed to the seaweeds. Neither is it a grass but a member of the pondweed family. Wave and Undulate It's easy to see, however, why it is called eelgrass, for the long, narrow, slippery leaves, each somewhat less than an inch in width, and often several feet long, wave and undulate in the water with the sinuous undulations of an eel's body. Where it is established the eelgrass beds may be miles in extent.

Rosemary S.-I am 38 and have been married for the past 15 years to an alcoholic. I have tried hard to make a go of our marriage for the sake of our three children, but it looks as though it is really impossible. ' A few weeks ago my hus band really flipped his lid and wound up in- a sanatarium. Fortunately his mother is in a position to pay some of his expenses there. I am lucky enough to have a brother in business who is willing to pay me a decent salary for some partt time work. In short, I don't need any thing from my Husband and stand little chance of getting it if I did. I want to break away clean at last. A lawyer friend wants to help me get an out-of-state divorce. He Half-Size Style 9000 1 In this undulating forest of blade-like leaves live a host of creatures. Many forms of marine life are dependent on the ribbon-grass for their food and shelter. The inter lacing ribbons of eelgrass ebb and flow in the tidal currents like fields of grain set in mo tion by a strong wind. Eelgrass is one of the very few flowering plants that live in salt water. The blossoms are small, green in color, and occur in tiny grooves in the leaf blades . Pollen-threads from the blossoms, on ripen ing, cast loose and become playthings for the currents and waves, sometimes being carried for miles to pollinate other eelgrass beds. The flowers occur when the water temperature of the shallow bay or river mouth reaches just a certain degree. The life, growth and fruition of the eelgrass is geared di rectly to the rise and fall of the water temperature. Scallops In the eelgress jungles live the scallops; the traveling clams of the mollusks that, by means of jet-propelled, zig-zag motion, scoot and dart among the ribbons of grass. This shell - fish, delicious when fried in deep, hot fat, also possesses the shell used as a symbol for a- large oil company. , Also in these green under sea meadows live the sea horses; the pipe fish, its near- American Base on Okinawa Said Ready for Atomic or Brush War By ARNOLD DIBBLE Naha, Okinawa -(UPD- This keystone U. S. base in the Western Pacific is ready for atomic or brushfire warfire. The 3rd Marine Division under Brig. Gen. David Shoup is primed for any brushfire, and the 313th Air Division, under Brig. Gen. Dale O. Smith, is ready "if the chain SUCCESSFUL SALESMAN Milo, Maine -(UPD- Bobby Ellison, 13, returned to school $60 richer after selling more than 6,000 worms to fishermen this summer.

The brant, a large waterfowl related to the Canada goose, feeds al most exclusively on eelgrass. The decline in the number of these birds is closely tied in with the health and extent of the eelgrass beds. A strange disease a few years ago destroyed " many areas of the eelgrass and the numbers of brant dropped off until the big birds nearly dis appeared. In the strange and little understood ecology of the land and the sea there is sometimes a close and pecu liar affinity. (Released by The Registrar and Tribune Syndicate, 1959.) is pulled on the big one." Under U. S. security laws, no one is permitted to say whether nuclear weapons are stockpiled on this Ryukyuan Island stronghold less than 45 minutes jet -flying time from Shanghai. But most Ameri cans on Okinawa believe un questionably that such weap ons are in stock on "the rock." They'd feel uneasy if they knew they weren't. "Of course, I can't com ment," Smith said. "But you can say we are not unhappy with our armaments." Smith, at six-foot-seven, is the tallest Air Force General in the business and is con sidered one of the ablest com manders in his service. Would China Attack? Asked if Okinawa, by its proximity to the China coast, would not be particularly vul nerable in case of atomic mis sle war, Smith replied: "I don't think the Chinese have atomic missies. But I don't believe they would at tack us because . it would be like Pearl Harbor - war against the United States." In the case of all-out war, Smith believes that the major blows would be aimed, not at Okinawa, but at the United States itself. , . "Of course," he said, "There is always the possibility of sneak missile attacks from submarines, but we'll trust in the Seventh Fleet to take care of that." During last fall's Quemoy crisis, the Reno, Nev., born general was back in Washing ton receiving treatment for a back ailment that still troub les him. But he is proud of the role his command played. Praises U. S. Action "We supported air opera tions in the area to the fullest and we sent the squadron to Formosa within seven hours after orders were received," he said. Only the quick reaction of the U. S., in his opinion, sav ed the offshore islands. With out this, he indicated, the Reds would have moved in. "I believe the crisis was manufactured," Smith said, to take the people's Red Chi nese minds off the hardships of the commune system." Turning to Russia's achieve ments, in outer space, Smith said: "I wouldn't be surprised if the Russians are first in get ting a man into outer space. All of their projects are done with the psychological value in mind and they perhap's don't place such a high value on human life. "Our program, I feel, is a much sounder one. It's better balanced and I think will achieve greater results in the long run." Phone SP 3-4293 DAILY'S U-DRIVE Medford Airport Gem of a dress - side-button lines just melt inches away!

M.-This marriage never should have taken place in the first place. Rosemary's husband is of a different faith and was married before and has three children by that marriage. She knew he was an alcoholic when she married him, but insisted on going ahead and nothing that her father or I could say or do would stop her. In spite of all that, I feel that Rosemary is making a mistake in going through with a divorce at this time. She speaks of being "free" again as if she were a girl of 18. She js nearly 40 and has three young children. . Men aren't standing in line waiting to marry her. Her husband's doctor says that there is a possibiltiy that he'll come through this thing. He's learned his lesson now. Maybe he'll be willing to join AA and change himself. The Council: In our opinion a "lawyer friend" who urges a quickie divorce in a moment of extreme crisis is no friend and probably not much of a lawyer. Divorce is not a thing to be undertaken while one's "de termination holds up." It must be considered at least as care fully as marriage. The fact that Rosemarry must leap at such a moment is sign enough that there are plenty of doubts and reservations in her mind. Apparently she has decided to deal with these after she gets the divorce-quite a bit too late. A good lawyer will help his client to deal with his doubts and make some effort to save the marriage. , Mrs. L. M. brings up some legitimate points. However, nobody seems to be given any thought of the unfortunate husband, who is being utterly deserted in his hour of need. The realization that his wife would stand by him and his children need him could help this man back to life. The real ization that he has lost his whole personal life could be the final blow. Psychiatrists find that, the mate of an alcoholic often in some way contributes to his alcoholism. We cannot judge the extent of Rosemary's re sponsibility, but it is some thing she ought to find out for herself. Her 15-year-old mar riage to . this alcoholic has certainly not been a one-way street. Her journey should not be to an out-of-state divorce court, but to a nearby doctor, clergyman or AA group.
