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.

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.

Deep-Sea Mining
Berkeley, Calif. - (DPD The
miner of tomorrow mav head
ior nis diggings by ship and
use a vacuum-cleaner contrap
tion to dredge up a bonanza
of minerals from the ocean
floor.
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.
