Courtesy on Streets Prevents Some Mishaps A Hill. . . - . A little more courtesv on the streets of Medford would go a long way toward making tne streets much safer, accord ing to Chief of Police Charles P. Lhamplin. Chief Champlin said last week that many accidents which cause considerable property damage are the re- suit oi lauure to "share the road As an example, he cited the driver who backs out or pulls out of a parking place with out checking to see if his movement might cause some other driver trouble. "Common c o u r t e i y," the chief said, "should cause driver to check first and, if traffic is too close, to wait un til he has a chance to pull out without interfering with moving traffic." Annoying Typ The most annoying type of driver discourtesy in city traf fic, he pointed out, is the horn honker, the fellow who gives a blast on his horn if the car ahead doesn't move the second the light turns, green. Other actions which indi cate a car is beinz driven bv a driver who, hasn't learned to share the ' road, he said are bumper-chasers and lane jumpers, not to mention those who never bother to signal what they plan to do next in traffic If these drivers did no thine more than annoy other people it would be bad enough, he concluded,, but many times they cause accidents. Diphtheria Case Is Reported in County One case of diphtheria in Jackson county was reported Friday by Dr. C. I. Drum- mond, acting Jackson county health officer. man who moved here recently from California, is confined in a local hospital. Dr. Drum- mond said all contacts with the man had been checked other case has oc- and no curred. m w M'jmi - am vmm Radioisotopes to Be Used al Rogue Valley Hospital Rogue Valley hospital has been given authority by the federal government to admin ister radioisotopes in therapeu tic cases, it was announced by hospital officials. Approval came from the Atomic Energy commission after official investigation of storage facilities, treatment area conditions, and personnel training and experience. The use of radioisotopes is not new at Rogue Valley hos pital, but its use has previ ously been confined to a diag nostic role. The service of administer ing the isotopes for therapy will be a new medical bene fit offered by the hospital, commonly given only in the nation's medical centers. The isotoDe treatment is effective in combating over-activity of the thyroid gland as well as certain forms of cancer, offi cialssaid. A special problem in stock ing radioisotopes Is the brief life of certain types, as short as one and one-half days. In obtaining such isotopes, the hospital must maintain close coordination between the source of supply at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and its delivery by Air Express to Medford. Permission was granted at the same time for more ex tensive application of the iso topes m diagnostic procedures. 4-HCIub News Kraiy Kooks On Aug. 14 the Krazv Kooks met at the home of Mrs. James Pullman.

This is envisioned by two University of California min eral . engineers who report that loose-lying rock contain ing such vital metals as man ganese may be found in some areas of the ocean floor to be worth as much as $1,500,000 per square mile. Present technology prob ably could manage such deep sea mining today, according to Dr. Herbert E. Hawkes and John Mero. The metals are contained in spherical deposits usually less than six inches in diameter and called nodules. These small brown-black stones be gan to grow millions of years- ago from materials washed into the oceans from the land, such as volcanic glass, pumice and clay. Scientists at the University of California's Scripps Institu tion of Oceanography in La Jolla early this year found a rich store of nodules off the coast of the French-owned Tuamotu islands in the South Pacific. Analysis showed that these deposits contained 25 per cent manganese, 15 per cent iron and lesser amounts of nickel, copper and cobalt. A number of rare earth metals also were found. One dredge haul . brought in nearly 500 pounds of the nodules from a depth of 4,000 feet. The United States has no important deposits of mangan ese, necessary for the manu facture of steel. Before 1948 it was imported mainly from Russia but now comes from India, Brazil, Ghana and South Africa. Hawkes ' and Mero esti mated that one square mile of ocean floor could yield enough nodules to provide 6,000 tons of manganese, worth about $750,000; 4,000 tons of iron, worth $40,000; and 125 tons each of nickel, copper and cobalt worth, re spectively, $180,000, $60,000 and $500,000.
