. Piciorial History
Of Area Published
By GP Instructor
A new booklet, "The Pic
torial History of Southern
0 Oregon and Northern Cali
fornia," has been prepared by
a Grants Pass history teach
er. Jack Sutton, and published
by the Grants Pass Bulletin.
The 100-page booklet is a
condensation of the writer's
original pictorial history,
"The State of Jefferson." It
begins with a brief pre - ice
age description of the area,
followed by descriptions of
the ice-age and early geo
graphic changes in the Pa
cific coast.
Sutton's pictures and draw
ings describe early Pacific
area Indians, the arrival of
the white man, the Indian
wars and the history of state
government.
Author's Explanations
All the book's illustrations
are accompanied by the auth
or's explanations. It ends
with a map of the area "in
tended to serve as an addi
tional aid in determining
central points from which
side trips may be taken to the
more remote regions covered
by the text."
Copies are available at the
Jacksonville museum and will
also be on sale later in Med
ford, Grants Pass and Cave
Junction.
In the process of prepara
tion for a number of years,
the booklet was undertaken
because of the lack of avail
able material for classroom
use, according to the Southern
Oregon Historical society. The
few books devoted to this
area have been out of print
for many years. '
Sutton decided to produce
the material in a paper-backed
volume, which would fall
within the limited budget
range of schools using it as a
supplementary history text.
Rain Probability
Forecasts Found
To Be Successful
Chicago-Science Service)
Weather forecasts that include
a percentage figure stating
the chances of rain have :
proved very successful, Jack
C. Thompson of the U.S.
Weather Bureau, Washington,
D. C, reported to the Ameri
can Meteorological Society
meeting here. j
He said the added informa
tion, tried experimentally in
San Francisco and Los An
geles, was aimed at helping
people make the best use of
a weather forecast. Attached
to the usual prediction is a
phrase like the following:
"Rain probability 40 per
cent today, 80 per cent to
night, 30 per cent tomorrow."
Results of the experiments
indicate many persons are
highly in favor of this kind of
prediction. A public survey
of the Los Angeles area indi
cated a response of 75 to one
for continuing to include the
percentage rainfall chances in
daily weather forecasts. The
replies also showed a good un
derstanding of the wording of
such forecasts.
Thompson said similar fa
vorable reactions have been
received from other parts of
the country where quantita
tive probability predictions
have been issued for those
concerned with making agri
cultural and business de
cisions. Studies show, Thompson re
ported, that important econ
omic savings can be achieved
through the use of the infor
mation provided by probabil
ity forecasts.
