T a MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, February 15, 1939 Senate Bill No. 183 Pros, Cons Debated Continued from Pag 1) Kasworm spoke in favor of Senate Bill No. 183, stating that to provide good pensions for various people and sal aries for school teachers peo ple of the Rogue basin must create wealth. Kasworm said he is in fa vor of the bill since it has plenty of checks and bal ances and standards have been set up in state law provisions. Jensen said he also favors Bill No. 183. Conservation means to use without wasting, he noted. If citizens of the Rogue basin don't want indus try in the basin they might as well kick out the airports, highways and other modern facilities, he argued. Latham said if both bills re not passed the state water resources board will be ham pered. Citizens' of the Rogue basin are in much the same position as Jacksonville citi zens many years ago when a railroad might have gone through the town, he said. They failed to realize eco nomic changes were coming, he added. Sr. Harlow Against Dr. Harlow said he is against Bill No. 183. Those who made a survey of the basin are not as well acquaint ed with it as its citizens, he indicated. Recreation value of the river greatly outweighs a great deal of industrial de velopment, he argued. The state sanitary authority is short of money and man power and might better use its services in the Willamette basin, he said. DeVoss, of the Jackson county chapter of the Izaak Walton league, suggested ironically that those interest ed in watching human prog ress should go to southern California. The Rogue River should be a national monu ment, he argued. The state water resources board which would adminis ter the bill is only human and Is subject to pressures, he said. This, he indicated, might allow industries harm ful to the Rogue basin to come to. - n The Rogue river is such a mall stream it is not an in dustrial type of river, another member of the audience said. Ita water will be used more and more for domestic and Irrigation purposes as the population grows, he said. Mrs. Harlan P. Bosworth, Medford, said industry brings in more air pollution. Since the Rogue valley is in a pocket, air pollution is a prob lem, she said. Gerow Remarked Ted Gerow, of the state sanitary authority, remarked In answer to questions that people of the Rogue basin shouldn't become so blinded while trying to keep a pulp mill out that they keep other industry out which is not harmful in any way. It is possible for a pulp mill to treat 95 per cent of its wastes and keep the remain ing 5 per cent in a lagoon to be released when the river is in flood stage and can carry it right to the ocean, Gerow said. Before an industry is issued. a permit to use stream water it must receive the permission of the state fish and game commission, state sanitary au thority and the state water resources board. Gerow ex plained. The sanitary author ity has and will meet indus trial problems squarely, he as serted. Passage of Senate Bill No. 183 will jive the three agencies another tool to pro vide for safe, all-around use of the Rogue river water, he said. Studies have revealed that 40 per cent of the timber har vest in this area is wasted since chips cannot be utilized, Gerow said. These could be shipped out of the area and thus a pulp mill here to util ize this waste product would not be needed, he said. Pulp Mill Criticized George Flannigan, operator of Elk Lumber company, Med ford, said a pulp mill here would not provide enough jobs to make the harmful pol lution of the river by pulp wastes worthwhile. Let Rose burg have the mill, he urged. Southern Pacific would give a rate of $3 per thousand unit to ship chips to Roseburg, he added. Present treatment facilities may eliminate 95 per cent of the waste, but 5 per cent would be sent into the river, he asserted. . Recreation is impossible with such pollution, he noted. Flannigan explained in detail how the pulp is processed. Medford Dairies Receive Awards Jorgensen's Dairy Products and Snider Dairy received seven places in the annual dairy products contests at the Oregon Dairy Industries' awards banquet at . Oregon State college last week. Herman Duncan of Jorgen- sen's placed first in vanilla ice cream, Harold E.

David Kurtz, Snider's, re ceived a silver medal for Grade A pasteurized; a bronze medal for homogenized milk, a bronze medal for half and half, and a silver medal for whipping cream. : f .- Dr. Kreisman to Attend OSC Meeting Corvallis-Dr. Arthur Kreis man of Southern Oregon col lege will participate in a spe cial Centennial conference on college teaching Feb. 27 and 28 at Oregon State college. Twenty Oregon colleges and universities will participate in the conference. Dr. Winslow R. Hatch, high er education specialist in the U.S. office of education, Wash ington, D.C., will be main speaker. Discussions will center around the student and his learning and the teacher and his teaching. A symposium also is planned on "Russian Education-Our Answer?" Higher Education Reviewed During Birthday Meet Ashland - History, humor, and interesting personal rem iniscences were woven into the address given by Dr. Ar thur S. Taylor, chairman of the Southern Oregon college social science division, for the special Centennial assembly Wednesday. Speaking on "Unfinished Business," Dr. Taylor empha sized that history and educa tion were never completely finished. He outlined the early history of higher education in Oregon from the old denomin ational -academies and col leges to the present, giving a vivid insight into the intense rivalry that existed between the various cities regarding their locations, administra tion, and financing. Because the population was centered in the Willamette valley throughout much of the state's history, Professor Taylor said the majority of the schools were erected with in a few miles of each other Cites Examples He cited the University of Oregon, Oregon State college, Oregon College of Education, Willamette and Pacific uni versities, and the old Albany college as examples . of this concentration. In the 1890's, five normal schools came into existence. Of these, the ones established at Drain, Weston, Ashland, La Grande and on the campus of the University of Oregon, were discontinued in 1910 for lack of legislative support, although the Monmouth nor mal managed to keep in the running by dint of a slim an nual stipend. Of those discontinued, only two, Eastern Oregon college and Southern Oregon college, were reinstituted in 1926. "Until a unified system of higher education was estab lished in the 30's," Dr. Tay lor said, "the position, in fact the very existence of our col leges was often threatened, but each time the loyalty and perseverance of the citizens in those particular areas was strong enough to insure their continuation. This was par ticularly true of the citizens in Eugene, Corvallis, and Ashland."

Remote Control Typewriter Made For Paraplegics Chicago - (Science Service) Some paraplegics will now be able to communicate by means of a remote control typewriter, it has been re ported here. The typewriter is operated) with a beam from a small lamp attached to the patient's head. The leg, arm, and other muscles of these persons usu ally can be controlled to some extent. Hence, patients can usually learn to operate the typewriter by controlling the beam of light, Dr. Alan Zis kind of the Boston City hospi tal and Richard L. Ziskind of Boston reported in the"Jour nal of the American Medical Association. The typewriter works like this: - " The patient, by slight move ment of the head, directs the beam of light onto a desired letter from an entire alphabet mounted on a photoelectric cell panel board. When the light strikes the letter, it trig gers the corresponding letter on an electric typewriter coupled to the board. A small switch that completes- the circuit will be used by beginners,, since it requires practice to avoid unintention ally sweeping over many let ters in the process of selecting one. After the person becomes experienced at using the ma chin, he can forego the use of this microswitch, the develop ers said. The switch can be con trolled by an elbow, finger or other area of the body that can provide a small amount of muscle control and move ment. Some paralyzed persons are able to type about 30 wordi per minute. The machine is important because it helps re habilitate many persons who must rely on the written word for communication. warn ess ... because the low ost on ,fJ3TT it or financing will save you money your over-all deal.
