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.

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.
