UN Activity Reviewed; Chapter Holds Election A review of various phases of United Nations activity and progress, and election of officers marked the January meeting of the Medford chapter, Oregon United Nations association, held Thursday night at Girls Community club. Mrs. Rex Nicodemus was named vice-president, Mrs. Eva Ringo, secretary,' and Mrs. Kenneth Murray, treasurer. Election of a president to succeed Moore Hamilton was post poned at the recommendation of the nominating committee, headed by Mrs. Harlan P. Bosworth Jr. First speaker of a group ol five was Mr. Bosworth, who recently was elected to mem bership in the American Nu clear society in recognition for his study and knowledge of the subject. Mr. Bosworth's topic had to do with the UN and atomic research and con trol, and he prefaced his talk by saying that of all man's discoveries, none had made as much progress as fast as the atcm. The speaker then said that atomic research holds the greatest potential for the benefit of man of any thing yet discovered. Mr. Bosworth reviewed atomic uses in the scientific, military and power field, and stressed that the possibilities for medicine, agriculture and metallurgy are considered practically unlimited. The speaker reminded his audi ence of President, Eisenhow er's proposal through the United Nations for peaceful use and control of atomic energy, of this country's shar ing of knowledge and ma . terials, and the world con gresses held to share informa tion. The world congress on atomic energy held at Geneva has been called the greatest and most important gathering ever held, he said. The second conference dealt with thermo - nuclear problems, Mr. Bosworth said, and added that three , panels have been set up to study the matter of irradiated waste dis posal, legal problems, and to study the transportation of ir radiated materials. Problem For People Whether the United States should deal directly . with other nations in the matter of promoting atomic energy for peaceful uses, or direct all its efforts through the United Nations Atomic Energy agency is a problem for the people to decide, he conclud ed. Jim Frohnmayer, president of the International Relations' league at Medford high school, spoke of the role of the UN agencies which are providing technical assistance in areas throughout the world where it is needed. The young man reviewed the teams of experts sent to these coun tries, and spoke of the fellow ship provided for training these experts. The speaker said the. United States has given strong sup port to this technical assis tance program since 1951, that it is definitely tied to the nation's foreign policy, and strengthens the position of both the United States and the United Nations through out the world. ' He pointed out that the USSR had at first ridiculed this program, but later adopt ed the idea. Although the re sults are hard to -measure, it is generally conceded to be a program which should be continued and strengthened, he said, and added that 132 countries and territories are now involved in technical as sistance projects. Money pro vided through UN channels does away with the "Santa Claus" stigma he, said, and the entire program lessens tensions and competitions. Folic Force Mrs. Nicodemus spoke briefly about the United Na tions police force. She said a review of available material on the subject indicated most persons believe that such a police force, if kept small and properly used, could complement the work of the UN and add to its prestige. She said authorities apparent ly agree that "military men have a place in establishing peace," and that an UN po lice force would promote a feeling of security and might promote disarmament. Speaking on how the UN might be strengthened was Bruce - Manley, former chap ter president. Mr. Manley pointed out that much of the suspicion with which the UN had been regarded in its be ginning had faded away, and that there was concrete evi dence of UN settling of dis putes and conflicts which might have , led to great trouble or wars. He pointed out that the American Association for the' United Nations recommends several ideas to strengthen the UN. They recommend opening UN to all nations, limiting the veto power, stay ing out of purely domestic issues and the . use of the World Court in an advisory capacity on certain issues. He pointed out that the AAUN believes moral pressures should be used to their full est, with armed force as a last resort. , AAUN Ideas AAUN would codify inter national law, stabilize sources of UN revenue and promote Slim and Trim Classes at Y Slim and Trim classes for women are held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. until 12 noon at the YMCA.

Most clothes you buy bear a m a n u f a c- turer's I a b el indicating the . i L I m a x i m u m V I shrinkage. To t h e average doesn't mean much to know that the garment won't shrink more than 1 96 . so translate this into inches. If a dress has a waist width of, say, 25 inches and the shrinkage is 1 , that means that the shrink age in width will be Vi inch or less. If it's 50 inches long, it won't shrink more than Vz inch in length. This minimum shrinkage means your clothes will retain good fit. If the shrinkage goes up to 2, be sure there is no risk of the garment getting too tight (2 shrinkage on 25 inches is Vi inch, or 50 inches, 1 inch, etc.). Any greater listed shrinkage should make you hesitate unless the gar p.ent is unusually loose .itting. If the manufacturer will not guar antee a garment against shrinkage under normal dry cleaning proce dures, do not expect your dry cleaner to. Proper cleaning assures minimum shrinkage of any fabric . . besides keeping your clothes fresh and nsw looking. See us for expert dry cleaning . . . often!
