New York -IUPD - You're
the only one who can protect
yourself from being defraud

ordinary caution in parting
with their hard earned
money," says New York state
Attorney General Louis J.
Lefkowitz.
His office has formulated a
10-foot guide to follow when
buying stocks:

any firm or salesman you do

be sure you understand the
risk of loss as well as the
prospect of gain.

on tips or rumors; request
the person offering securities

written information about the

Freight Wagons
Start Journey
Silverton - . (UPD - "Fast
freight" service began Sun
day between Silverton and
Portland. But it wasn't as fast
as you might think.
Two freight wagons were
pulled out of Silverton by a
four-horse hitch on the first
leg of the Silver "D" Wagon
Freight Service to Portland.
The four and one-half day
round trip journey will have
overnight stops at Mt. Angel,
Canby, and Milwaukie on the
way to Portland. Overnight
stops are planned near Ore
gon City and Woodburn on
the return jaunt. The wagons
are due in Silverton Friday
about noon on the return.
Horses pulling the wagons
are owned by Tony DeSantis,
Silverton Hills berry rancher.
DeSantis said the wagon
would arrive at the S. and M.
Freight terminal in Portland
sometime Wednesday morning.

Residents to Hear
Sonic Booms More
Frequently in Area

Sonic Booms - nuisance or
necessity?
Nuisance, say many house
holders who have been awak
ened from sleep and have
seen dishes dance on cup
board shelves because of the
thunderous roar of a sonic
boom.
Necessity, say Air FoEce
officials whose mission is to
defend America from attack.
Both viewpoints, actually,
are correct. Sonic booms are
a nuisance, but America's
freedom would be in jeopardy
if they were never heard
again.
Aerial Protection
The Air Force is charged
with the task .of providing
aerial protection to this coun

freedom in consonance with
our American way of life.
To carry out this task, we

superior air vehicles tech
nology can provide. More and
more supersonic aircraft are
entering the operational in
ventory of the Air Force.
These aircraft, capable of
supersonic speeds in all flight
altitudes, are creating an in
creasing number of sonic
booms all over the country.
Because the Ashland, Grants
Pass and Medford area lies
between Kingsley field and
the Pacific coast, residents
will frequently hear the roar
of the F-101B Voodoos as they
scramble to intercept an un
identified aircraft approach
ing the coast.
The sonic boom, occuring
without warning, produces a
startling, explosive sound
which causes the public to be
come increasingly aware of
the Air Force activities.
Carry Out Mission -
Responsive to the public
which it defends, the Air
Force continuously attempts
to carry out its missions with
the least possible disturbance
to the people. However, the
world's best Air Force cannot
be maintained if its pilots
must fly all missions at sub
sonic speeds and then some
day, when the chips are down,
fly their aircraft on actual
missions for the first time at
supersonic speeds.
Some of the sonic booms
created by supersonic aircraft
will be 10 times louder than
thunder. The loudest thunder
clap recorded generated a
pressure of about one -half
pound per square foot. And
when people hear a noise that
loud they immediately begin
looking for damage - broken
windows, cracked plaster,
shattered brie a brae.
In tests, where airplanes
have dived from 35,000 feet
and pulled out at 25,000 feet
scientists have measured pres
sure no greater than 5 points
per square foot on the ground.
Even when the aircraft de
scends to 10,000 feet before
pulling out of its dive the re
corded pressure did not reach
10 pounds per square foot.
Rarely are faster-than-sound
operations carried out at alti
tudes lower than 20,000 feet.
This would mean that sonic
boom pressures no greater
than 5 pounds per square foot
are expected to be felt on the
ground.
Observe Effects
Scientists and engineers
observing the effects of shock
waves generated by atomic
explosions have never observ
ed structural damage to the
flimsiest of test structures at
pressure less than 70 pounds
per square foot. Applying
simple arithmetic, this is 65
pounds more than the pres
sure normally observed from
a sonic boom.
To further test the effects
of a sonic boom, a small vil
1 a g e christened Boomtown,
USA, was built in the Mojave
Desert in California. Super
sonic jets from the Air Force,
Navy and Marine Corps broke
the sound barrier over the
village at altitudes from 40,
000 to 10,000 feet. The jets
later demonstrated the dif
ference between a sonic boom
and the "cut-in" of an after
burner. News media representatives
along with civilian and serv
ice observers examined the
village in its entirety at the
completion of the tests. They
discovered that neither the
structures nor the household
objects had suffered any form
of damage. The village in
cluded two small buildings
having plaster walls and glass
windows, a concrete patio and
a cinder block wall. Inside
the buildings were a televis
ion set, two radios, all oper
ating during the tests, dishes,
figurines, glass and crystal
pieces and lighting fixtures.
No Damage Noted
Nothing suffered damage
despite the repeated dives and
creation of sonic booms when
breaking the sound barrier.
As to injuries to persons,
the experts point out no sonic
boom pressure is strong
enough to injure anyone -but
the noise certainly can
play hob with your nerves.
The people expect the best
possible protection for their
homes, families, and country.
The Air Force is providing
24-hour-a-day, 365 day-a-year
protection in all kinds of
weather. This responsibility
is accepted with the full
knowledge of the cost of fail
ure. Air Force personnel are
citizens of this country dedi
cated to accomplishing this
job of vital importance.
The loud sound of the sonic
boom, admittedly, is a start-

WHAT IS PARK & SHOP?
ANSWER:
Park and Shop has been in operation in over 100 cities in the
United States. It is made available by the downtown businesses
and professional peoples of Medford in an honest effort to provide
a convenient place for the motoring public to park. It will eliminate
the worry about time limits and other disturbing factors while
conducting all of their business in the downtown area.
QUESTION:
Who is eligible to use the Park and Shop lots?
ANSWER:
Everyone.
QUESTION:
How does Park and Shop Work?
ANSWER:
Park your car in any lot displaying the Park and Shop sign; ths.
attendant will issue you a ticket showing the time parked. Take
that parking ticket with you when conducting your business or
pleasure in the downtown area. All places of business displaying
the park and shop emblem, which is the majority of the business
in the downtown area, will place a stamp on your parking ticket;
this stamp is good for one hour. of free parking. If the clerk forgets
the stamp he will greatly appreciate it if you will ask him for one.
QUESTION:
Why bother with Parking tickets and Stamps by both the places
of business and the motoring public?
ANSWER:
There is considerable expense in making the Parking lots available
and maintaining them with an attendant; all participating busi
nesses wish to share that expense on the benefit basis. They buy
the stamps from a central place, the Chamber of Commerce, acts
as a clearing house; when you get your stamp, you have completed
the cycle. The business that does the larger amount, of business
gives out the greater number of stamps and thus pays according
to benefit received. That is why a minimum purchase is required
so that one or two stores won't provide the stamps for everyone,
because they are conveniently located to the lots, etc. So, be sure
to get a free parking stamp at each Park & Shop store you trade at.
QUESTION:
Is the parking free?
ANSWER:
It is not the intent to have the Parking lots for a select few, but to
be available to everyone. It is the desire of all participating busi
ness establishments to make the parking free to the public while
shopping (as above explained) but those that are not shopping
may ask the courteous attendant on the lot and he will be glad to
explain the reasonable rates, and make your stay as pleasant as
possible.

GOOD ADVERTISING
REALLY SELLS!
When you tell them, they know. But when you
sell them, Jhey buy! And buying makes the
difference in your business profits.
Apply this same thinking to your advertising.
A listing in a business directory tells the pub
lic that you're in business. A timely, pointed
ad in the Mail Tribune Classified Section tells
'em . . . and sells 'em! A Want Ad shows the
customers that you have what they want right
now . . . and gives them good reasons for buy
ing it right now.
When you have something to sell . . . use the
advertising medium that knows the difference
between telling and selling. Use the Want Ads
. . . they make the profitable difference!
