1 MAIL TRIBUNE, MtdforJ, 0r., Wtdnetday, Februiry 18, 1959 Highly Contrasting Air Masses Cause Of Severe Storms Suitland, Md. - (Science Service)- The severe storms lashing the northeast and central areas with tornadoes, floods and heavy snows are caused by a clashing of two highly contrasting air masses, cold air pounding down from the north and warm tropical air flowing up from the Gulf. The strong temperature differences between these two clashing air masses fur nish the energy on which severe storms grow. The most recent 30-day forecast issued by the Weather Bureau called for conditions favorable to de velopment of such sharp con trasts, Jerome Namias, head of the Bureau's extended fore cast section, told Science Serv ice. Forecasts Issued In weather predictions for short periods made by re gional Weather Bureau offices when conditions are right, meteorologists issue tornado forecasts for periods up to eight hours and for regions as large as half a state. Tor nadoes often appear sporad ically along the squall lines associated with the passage of fronts.

Jpw - 173391 SR gg No other car smooths the Wheels ore After tornadoes or a funnel dangling from a cloud are spotted, the Weather Bureau issues tornado warnings for specific localities. The Bureau's extended fore cast section, however, is con cerned with long - period changes in the world's weath er patterns. The severe weath er and heavy precipitation crippling the nation's mid section, Namias said, are part of a change in the world-wide upper air current Known as the planetary wave. This globe circling air stream shows up as a wavy line of troughs and crests on meteor ologists' maps of the upper atmosphere. Pattern Seen Changing Most recently the planetary wave has had five crests and troughs but now there are indications the pattern is changing to a system of four crests and troughs. The two troughs that are now com bining into one, Namias said, are those centered off the Asiatic Coast and in the Cen tral Pacific. This combination produces changes in the planetary wave over theh United States. Be cause the wavelength of the two blended troughs has now become very long, the trough over the United States has shifted somewhat eastward. As a result, cold air spills into the West and Midwest. On the eastern side of the trough, warm humid tropical air flows up from the Gulf. Where the tropical air is hit oy polar air, conditions are ideal for the growth of severe storms.

Ronald E.-Mother nags me. Mrs. J. E. He treats his shortcomings too lightly. Ronald E. - I am 15 and the oldest of a family of three. My father died two years ago and my mother went to work again last year. I am in charge of my kid brother and sister when we get home from school. As a result of all this re sponsibility plus a part-time job two evenings a week, I don't have too much time to socialize. I have also fallen a bit behind in my school work. My mother has been nagging me to death, accusing me of being interested in nothing but fun. That isn't true, but I do think I have a right to stay out pretty late on week end nights. Another thing that gets my goat is that Mother always brings up this business of my late hours and my drop in school marks in front of my friends. She has embarrassed me so much that I don't feel like having any of my friends over to the house. . ' Mrs. J. E.-Ron has a won derful way of treating any of nis shortcomings very, very lightly. It is one thing for a boy of 15 to come home a little, past the deadline and another for him to turn up at 3 a.m. That's no hour for any young teenager to be out on the town. Also, this business of his falling "a bit" behind in his school work is an understate ment. He is failing in all the subjects he doesn't like, but doing very well in the ones he happens to like. Obviously he can do the work, but doesn't want to apply himself. Ron has done a good job taking on his responsibilities toward his younger brother and sister. But he is not over worked because thev ha been very cooperative and I have organized things in such a way that Ron should nnt have too much of a burden placed on him. The Council: The conflict between Ron and his mother seems to be the usual ado lescent one, but things have become intensified because of the death of the father and the fact that Mrs. J. E. is under a serious strain, having to work and be at once a mother and father to the chil dren. Ron has apparently taken on his main responsibilities nobly. In his own mind he feels .that he is now Mom's Lane-Use Signs Are Being Installed State highway crews are in stalling lane-use signs on East Eighth st. between Cen tral ave. and Bartlett st. to day, according to Medford Public Works Director Ver non Thorpe. Thorpe said the signs will indicate the right lane of the two-lane eastbound street is for traffic bound for east Medford while the left lane is for traffic northbound on Riverside ave. For the time being, he ex plained, right lane traffic will continue to turn left into the right lane of Riverside ave. and then right from that lane onto East Main st. When the extension of Eighth st. across Bear creek is complet ed, he continued, the right lane traffic on Eighth st. will continue east across the creek. humps NUMBE not the mainstay and head of the family and is, therefore, en titled to some of the privileges befitting his new rank. Mrs. J- E. is naturally con cerned about the proper guid ance of a fatherless, adoles cent boy. She must depend on him for some things, but is afraid of letting him get too big for his breeches and feels the need to let him know that there is still a boss in the family - and it's not him. On the whole, this family seems to have done a good job of difficult , adjustment and Mrs. J. E. and Ron ought to pin a few roses on one another. This . is what we would particularly urge Mrs. J. E. to do where Ron is con cerned. He ought to get plenty of praise for the good things he has done. He ought to know that he is appreciated and should not be embarrassed or humiliated in front of his friends. This is poison to any child, but especially to a teen ager. Mrs. J. E. should try to treat Ron in adult fashion and explain the total problem to him. If she lets him know she appreciates him as the sub stitute head of the family, it will be easier for him to ac cept the fact that he must, of necessity, be limited in - his privileges. He is still expected to toe the mark as a teen ager. (Copyright 1953, General Features Corp.) V. J home or off ice. So lovely 111 Ti Irlv VilC Ji II js II M i? s1 So practical.
