PROSPECT
Frozen Pipe Trouble
By FRANCES RING
Prospect Many houses in
the Cascade Gorge and Pros
pect area have been having
trouble with frozen pipes,
Some of the .people who were
Cone for a few days during
the holidays came home to
find their pipes had frozen
and burst. The temperature
has been below zero down as
far as Copco.
The Rev. and Mrs. George
L. Fitch of the Church: of the
Nazarene were in Roseburg
recently where they visited
his mother, Mrs. Grace Fitch,
at a Roseburg hospital. Mrs
Fitch is reported improved.
The Nazarene church held
a skating party and watch
night service New Year's Eve.
They started the evening with
a potluck supper and then
after skating retired to the
church for devotions and
watch night service.
Mrs. Alice Conger, who is
convalescing from major surg
ery, has moved to the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Georgia
McKibbon, for a few weeks.
Ray Shafer spent an unex
pected visit at home with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Everett
Shaffer, last week end He is
stationed at the Coast Guard
base at Alameda, Calif.
The Prospect Play school,
with Mrs. Larry Drake in
charge, reopened Jan. 5. The
school will still meet on Tues
days and Thursdays but there
has been a change in the time.
It will now be held from 10
a.m. to noon so that the home
economics class from Prospect
High school may assist Mrs.
Drake as part of their home
economics training.
Mrs. Ira Ring arrived home
Better Marriage
Figures Expected
Chicago - (Science Service)
- America will have better
figures on marriages and di
vorces as the result of plans
being put into effect for 1960
by the National Office of Vi
tal Statistics.
To fill in the gaps due to
nine states without marriage
central files and 15 states
without divorce central files,
sample records in those areas
will be obtained from local
officials who have the rec
ords. Then these results will
be applied by modern sam
pling methods to give reliable
figures that can be used by
social scientists, market ana
lysts, population experts and
others.
Many countries have mar
riage and divorce data more
complete than the United
States, Dr. Hugh Carter of the
government's national office
admitted to the American As
sociation for the Advance
ment of Science here. The
new program will allow U.S.
marriage and divorce figures
to be compared with interna
tional records. The needs of
hundreds of users of informa
tion on family formation and
dissolution will be further
met by a campaign to extend
the registration area to un
covered states.
New Comet Named
For Discoverer
Cambridge, Mass. -(Science
Service)- A new comet, the
first to be reported in 1960,
has been discovered in the
southern sky. The object has
been named Comet Burnham
after its discoverer, Robert
Burnham of Prescott, Ariz.,
who found it while working
at Lowell observatory. Flag
staff, Ariz. Burnham also
spotted the first ' comet of
1958.
Burnham first spotted the
comet Dec. 30, then photo
graphed it again Jan. 2. It is
too faint to be seen directly,
even with telescopic aid, and
will appear to be quite close
to the moon for the next few
days.
News of the comet's discov
ery was reported to astrono
mers by Harvard college ob
servatory here, clearing house
for astronomical information
in the Western Hemisphere.
Comet Burnham's position in
the constellation of Pisces,
the fishes, was calculated by
H. L. Giclas.
Man-Made Sea Under
Construction in NY
Great Neck, N.Y. (Science
Service) - A man-made sea is
under construction here to- aid
in the development of more
efficient submarine detection
equipment. The main limita
tion on underwater detection
devices Is the water environ
ment itself. Sound travels
through water for compara
tively short distances only.
The "set" being built here by
Sperry Gyroscope company is
to be 400 feet long. 200 feet
wide and 25 feet deep. It will
facilitate testing of equip
ment in a controlled environ
ment, free from unpredictable
noises.

Jan. 3. Her son, was born Dec.
28 and weighed 3 pounds, will
remain in the hospital until
he weighs 5 pounds. He has
been named Gary Eugene.'
Danny and Billy Draper
spent four days last week at
the home of their grandpar
ents, Mr. and Mrs. George
Brown. Their parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Leroy Draper, Eagle
Point, came after them Sun
day and spent the day visiting
relatives in this area. Mr.
Brown is reported feeling
much better after recent surgery.
Mr. and Mrs. James Spargo
and Mr. and Mrs. James Con
naway of Union Creek resort
are visiting in North Holly
wood, Calif., for a few weeks.

Soil Drainage
Method Reported
Washington -(Science Serv
ice) Excess water and crop
damaging salt accumulations
can be drained from irrigated
soil by the use of mole drains
with vinyl plastic liners, the
U.S. Department of Agricul
ture reported here.
On one experimental area
near Logan, Utah, the outflow
from each of five such drains
300 feet long, 22 inches deep
and 3 inches in diameter, was
said to be about 2Vz gallons
of water a minute. The drains
also removed 117 pounds of
salt a day from the Vz acre
plot. Water drained into a
ditch at the edge of the test
area contained 10 times as
much salt as water applied,
the USDA reported.

FLYING RADAR ANTENNAE The Grumman WF-2 "tracer" plane is something
new for the Naw's carrier-based warning squadrons. The saucer-shaped, 18-foot
"radome" on top contains a long distance radar antennae which enables the plane
to fly ahead of the fleet and detect the enemy long before he comes into range.
Causes of Speech Problems Spotted With Pictures
Los Angeles-(Science Serv-ice)-Hidden
physical defects
that contribute to speech prob
lems are being detected by
X-ray movies.
A movie technique, technic
ally known as cinefluorogra
phy, is being used by the Cleft
Palate Rehabilitation Team at
the University of California
Medical Center here.
The team consists of Dr.
Franklin L. Ashley, Robert F.
Sloan, Dr. Elise Hahn and
Dr. William Hanafee.
Tongue Coated
The tongue of the patient
is coated with barium, and
the X-ray movies are made
while he pronounces certain
key vowel sounds "ah,"
"ee," and "oo." Simultaneous
tape recordings of the sounds
are also made.
From movements of the
tongue, pharynx, uvula and
other components of the
speech mechanism during for
mation of these sounds, clues
to anatomical defects contrib
uting to speech difficulty may
be obtained.
Difficult to Detect
Slight anatomical defects of
the speech mechanism, such
as excessive adenoidal tissue
'Man's Best Friend'
Helps Own Kind, Too
Robinson, 111. The dog may
be man's best friend, but
he doesn't do badly by his
own breed at times, Mr. and
Mrs. Wilson Doaland will tes
tify. When a puppy fell into
their fish pond and was un
able to climb out, two other
pups barked encouragement
and howled for help until a
neighbor heard the racket and
made the rescue, the Doa
lands said.
or subtle malfunctioning of the
sofe palate, are often difficult
to detect by conventional
diagnostic techniques, the
UCLA group pointed out.
Study of the movies will, how
ever, often reveal such de
fects. Thus the cinefluorographic
techniques have enabled the
speech therapist to observe
the progress of the patient
and aid the surgeon and ortho
dontist in deciding whether
surgical and dental recon
struction procedures may help
the patient to obtain a more
normal speech development.
