The 10th annual observance
of National Engineers Week
-was held from Feb. 21 to 27
by the Rogue Valley Section
of the Professional Engineers
of Oregon, as well as other
engineering groups through
out the nation, according to
R. L. Adams, of Myrtle Creek,
president of the local section
. The observance this year
hes the theme "Engineers
Greatest Challenge - The
1960'i," and emphasizes the
unlimited possibilities for en
gineering achievements for
-the coming decade.
- A review of the past dec
ade, the 1950's, indicates the
following accomplishments in
the scientific and engineering
field:
' The first man-made ther
monuclear explosions; the nu
clear power submarine and
the first voyage under the
North Pole; space satellites
around the earth and the sun;
'the intercontinental ballistic
missile; a rocket impact on
the moon, and a rocket sent
around the moon; electric
power from atomic reactors;
supersonic aircraft flight; jet
powered air transports; the
discovery of radio emmission
from hydrogen in space; the
discovery of the Van Allen
radiation belts around the
earth; the overthrow of the
party principle in basic phy
sics; the bevatron; the de
velopments and utilization of
the transistor; the maser; the
discovery and use of the
tranquilizers and the Salk
polio vaccine; the whole fami
ly of acrylic and polyester
synthetic fibers; coast to coast
TV broadcasting, and a defi
nite start on the problem of
controlled thermonuclear fu
sion. Engineering Challenges
The major engineering
challenges of the 1960's, at
least as far as can be seen as
the decade opens, will most
likely be in such areas as the
control and use of nuclear
fission and thermonuclear
fusion to produce electric
power; the automating of
production and assembly
lines and processes in indus
try; the design, testing, opera
tion, and production of ve
hicles capable of carrying
man safely through space and
returning him to earth, and
the design and utilization of
electronic computers with the
ability to "think" on a level
with our best human brains.
Hard on the heels of these
major challenges will be a
long list of other problems in
electronics, structures, chem
istry, radioactive waste dis
posal and the use of radio iso-
K-Day Chairman
Named for City
Mrs. Gordon T. Elliott, 1951
West Main st, Medford, has
been named chairman of the
1960 K-Day canister cam
paign for Kidney Disease, Ed
ward R. Fay Jr., executive
director of the National Kid
ney Disease Foundation, has
announced. .
. The community-wide cam
paign will include placing
canisters at locations through
out Medford under Mrs. Elli
ott's direction.
Mrs. Elliott noted that kid
ney diseases remain the na
tion's fourth-ranking death
cause, and there is a need for
improved patient services
improved patient services and
crash research programs in
many other kidney diseases
as well as nephrosis.
"Ten years ago," she noted,
"most of the childhood vic
tims of nephrosis, one of the
serious kidney diseases, did
not survive. Today, through
medical research, most of
these children can live normal
lives."
She noted, however, that j
kidney diseases still cause
many deaths, and the national
foundation's campaign will
seek funds for research into
the causes and cures, and for
patient care.

Paul Christerson, secretary
to the State Board of Engi
neering Examiners introduced
Engineers Week Jan. 15 in
Medford with a talk on the
new Oregon registration law,
some of the problems which
the board faces in administer
ing the law, engineering eth
ics, engineering unity and
public relations.
Major Change
The first major change in
the law was to provide for an
Engineer-In-Training Certifi
cate, and he stated that dur
ing 1959, 13,000 EIT exams
were given in the United
States.
The first EIT exam in Ore
gon will be given March 18,
and the board has processed
120 applications for EIT
exams and 120 applications
for total registration. Another
EIT exam will be given at
OSC in June covering another
300 applications. EIT exams
will cover engineering funda
mentals science, math, eco
nomics, materials, fluids,
thermodynamics, and others.
The second major change
in the Engineering law was to
raise the required experience
from six to eight years to con
form with other states.
The third major change
was the so called "eminence
clause" which provides that a
person 45 years of age or
more who has had twelve
years experience as a prin
cipal engineer may be regis
tered at the discretion -of the
board on an oral exam.
Administrative Problem
Some of the administrative
problems which the board
must handle are:
Non - registered engineers
practicing engineering; en
couraging all engineers to in
dividually police the profes
sion since the board cannot
act as investigator, prosecutor
and jury; checking classified
directories for violation of
law; urging engineering cor
porations to have one of the
corporate officers a registered
professional engineer; inter
pretating of engineering - ar
chitect relations; the problem
of Oregon registered profes
sional engineers residing out
side of the state who are also
non-residents; the relation of
land surveying and profession
al engineers; and, the relation
of the Oregon state board to
the National Bureau of En
gineering Registration.
In regard to ethics, Chris
terson states that the board's
only authority was for ad
ministering the engineering
law and, since ethics was not
part of the law, the board had
no right to interfere with
ethical questions which
should be administered by the
professional societies.

However, the board recog
nizes that since, in the ma
jority of cases, unethical peo
ple are also incompetent and
operating outside of the law,
it is well to consider ethics
in the administration of the
law.
The Rogue Valley Section
of the Professional Engineers
of Oregon, which is com
posed of approximately 70 en
gineers from the fields of
electrical, mechanical, civil,
agricultural, logging, mining,
chemical, structural, hydraul
ics from Jackson, Josephine,
Klamath and a portion of
Douglas county meet monthly
to keep its members informed
on up to date accomplish
ments in the engineering
fields.
Its other purposes are:
Improve Standards
1. To promote and improve
the standard of professional
engineering by keeping in
close touch with school cur
riculum, and practices of en
gineers and those in the en
gineering profession.
2. To promote and work
with local high school stu
dents to help them in choos
ing engineering as a profession.
3. To help promote and
formulate new legislation
pertaining to engineering for
the improvement and status
of engineers.
4. To bring to the attention
of the general public, through
various newspaper, radio and
other media, achievements of
engineers in their particular
localities and to present the
benefits of such achievements
to the general public.
5. To promote better pro
fessional and social relations
among its members and with
the public.
Education Committee
The groups education com
mittee headed by professional
engineer Frank Ross, recently
screened four high school
senior boys to select Jack
Hoffbuhr of Phoenix High
school to compete for a civil
engineering scholarship.
In 1959 six students from
Klamath High were sponsor
ed by the Rogue valley en
gineers to the JESSI program
which is the Junior Engineers
and Scientists Summer In
stitute held at OSC each sum
mer. Each year members appear
at the high schools and junior
highs in this area to present
talks about the engineering
profession for vocational
studies.
Present registered profes
sional engineers who are of
ficers of the Rogue Valley
Section of the Professional
Engineers of Oregon are presi
dent, R. L. Adams, Myrtle
Creek; vice president, L. M.
Stinson, Medford; secretary
treasurer, W. L. Warren, Med
