IAKOVOS Archbishop Of The Greek Orthodox Church of Norlh and South America Written for UPI Lent is the period during which we prepare by fasting, prayer, repentance and con fession for the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in his resur rection. Inseparable Part of Life Fasting, which is both ma terial and spiritual, is an in separable part of the Chris tian way of life, resulting in the purification of man and the glorification of God. That is why St. Paul exhorts the Christian to "glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Cor. 6-20). Some Excused In order to be acceptable to our Lord, fasting, both ma terial and spiritual, should in volve more than negative ab stinence from certain foods and passions. It should be positive and accompanied by good deeds that are the result of repentance. 'With affection and under standing, the church excuses 1 M.I FREE PARKING MUCIAIISTS IN HOMiWAKtSI 245 S.

But those who are in good health must observe the fast of Lent in full. Thus, during the season of Lent, fasting, prayer, repen tance and confession crown the Christian v i r t u e s and make us worthy to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Walsfon Broker Held for Theft New York - (DPI) - A Wall Street broker was under ar rest today for what may be the first electronic embezzle ment of the push-button age. Frank B. Haderer, 50, was accused of transferring $250, 000 irom a firm account to his own by juggling the holes in punch cards in the firm's accounting machines. He had been a vice presi dent of Walston & Co., one of the nation's largest brokerage firms with 70 offices in the United States and abroad, for 11 years, had been in charge of installation of the complex electronic accounting system and for, the last three years had been manager of the ac counting depaitment. Haderer was said to have admitted taking the money over a nine-year period, and confessed he lost most of it gambling on four trips to Las Vegas and in local betting on horses, football and base ball. County Court Awards Contract for Tires The Jackson county court Wednesday accepted the bid of $17,500 from the Oregon Tire company for new tires and tubes for the county road department. The bids were opened last week by the court. Eight bids were received from seven companies.

Highway Protection Committee Includes Both Major Parties Portland - Politics end at the road's edge for members of the Highway Protection Committee. Leaders of both major parties are cooperat ing to promote an initiative measure for control of sign board advertising along most major highways of the state. Petitions are now off the presses and are rapidly be ing placed in the hands of circulators throughout the state. Filled petitions began arriving back at the office of the Highway Protection Com mittee in a scant three days after the first petitions were placed in the mail. Committee Members Listed Republican members of the committee include ex- State Senator Rudie Wilhelm, Portland, chairman; ex-gover nor Charles A. Sprague, Sa lem, and State Treasurer Howard C. Belton, Canby. Jjemocratic members in clude Senator Richard L Neuberger, State Senator Al fred H. Corbett, both of Port land, and Mrs. David C. Epps, Sweet Home, widow of the late Democratic state chair man. The committee seeks to se cure the 33,712 signatures needed by July 7 to put the measure on the November ballot. Principal effect of the bill would be its requirement that the general run of large ad vertising boards outside com mercially zoned districts be at least 660 feet from Inter state Highways and Through ways over the state. Law Would Be Unchanged The bill would leave pres ent law unchanged with re gard to Throughway signs of benefit to tourists, land-owners and local business inter ests, and would make similar modifications for Interstate Highway signs. Wilhelm said the purpose of the bill is to protect the state's investment in Oregon highways, and to give the best ask for the 1 Vodka mm RGUKiA WDC FROM GRATR IT L tELSKT & CtE, RARTF0RQ, COWL OSC's Hail Research Study For Pear Industry Described By WILMA MORRISON One of a series of ar ticles on the research and public service projects be ing carried on by the state's colleges and university written for the State Sys tem of Higher Education by Mrs. Morrison, long - time reporter of Oregon educa tion. A collection of real pearls can't complete for drama with the magnified pictures of Rogue Valley hail stones when you get the hail story from the meteorology re searchers at Oregon State college. Describing a recently- launched southern Oregon weather project, Dr. Fred W. Decker, head of the Atmos pheric Science Branch of the college's Science Research In stitute, said, "Hail which oc curs infrequently and in small areas seems to be the most difficult thing for nature to do." But - and this is what brings the researcher's gleam to Dr. Decker's eyes - "Hail mav be the most vulnerable feature of weather in the mat ter of control." "We can't endorse cloud seeding as a general panacea," the OSC man said, "but we are far from pessimistic about the control of weather." Last summer Oregon State's meteorologists began the slow, scientific approach to the Rogue Valley fruit grow ers' evil genie, hail. They .are trying to find out under what conditions hail forms. It is not so spectacular as the cloud seeding that has been going on there for years but they believe it more promising of ultimate defense against hail. They are working on the prin ciple that, until you know the storm conditions and process es that produce hail you don't highway service possible to the tourists, who constitute an important part of state rev enue. "This bill leaves plenty of room for proper use of sign board advertising," said Wil helm, "but it will preserve the scenic beauty which bill board companies . have no right to exploit." The full committee: Wilhelm; Miss Elizabeth Ducey, secretary, and Edwin H. Armstrong, treasurer, all of Portland. Executive committee L. C. Binford, Corbett, Sidney King, Thornton T. Munger, Charles H. Potter and George D. Ruby, all of Portland; Mrs. P. C. Knox, Gladstone, and Elmer McClure, Milwaukie. Organizations Listed Honorary vice chairmen Belton; Sprague and Chand ler Brown, both of Salem; Neuberger; E. B. MacNaugh ton, Robert Snodgrass and Aubrey R. Watzek, all of Portland; ex-State Rep. Ed A. Geary and Mrs. Marshall Cor nett, both of Klamath Falls; Mrs. Epps; J. W. (Bud) For rester, Pendleton; ex-State Sen. W. Lowell Steen, Milton Freewater; ex-State Sen. Wil liam E. Walsh, Coos Bay; Ro vert Wilmsen, Eugene, and Mrs. Marion Weatherford, Ar lington. Wilhelm also announced or ganizations which are sup porting the committee's ob jectives.

Si know the vulnerable point at which hail can be stopped. To fruit growers hail spells culls in their pear crops, and the very word "cull" spells disaster. Hail doesn't kill or ruin the fruit: it puts a dimple in it. The peeler travels over this dimple leaving a hard spot, and the pear is a cull. Losses can run to many thousands when a flash hail storm strikes the orchards. The particular hazard of air science is the difficulty of being on the spot when an Act of God happens, the OSC re searchers said. Theirs but to sit and wait, or enlist amateur sky and ground watchers. Last summer, as a starter on their long-term hail study, they put out 230 hail recorders (plastic foam squares covered by foil to record indentations) in a planned pattern over the Rogue valley. In addition there was a small army of housewives drafted, to dash out the min ute hail fell and put samples in their deep freezes for examination and photograph ing by experts. And here they hit a jackpot. Hail stones up to 1V4 inches in diameter were preserved from one flash thunderstorm. Shapes, Textures Revealing It is the shapes and textures of these stones the OSC staff believes that throws light on where in the cloud the hail stones form and how they grow to damaging propor tions. The Rogue valley study is supported in its first phase by the industry. The bulk of the Symington for President Group Slowly Forming Washington - (DPD - A Sy-mington-for-president organi zation is slowly taking form with the unofficial blessing but without the formal en dorsement of its candidate. This organization, dedicated to winning the Democratic presidential nomination for Sen. S t u a r t Symington of Missouri, opened a national headquarters this month in, a Washington office building. Chicago. Man Manager Ir. " The headquarters manager is William H. Perkins Jr., Chi cago businessman and former backer of Adlai E. Stevenson. Perkins' official title is as sistant to Rep. Charles H. Brown (D-Mo.), national chair man of the "Citizens for Sy mington Committee," who has traveled 20,000 miles so far recruiting support for the Mis souri senator. Brown told a United Press International reporter the Sy mington cam paign already had formal organizations oper ating in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, O k 1 a -home, Utah and Washington state. He said others would be set up soon in other states. To Present Evidence Brown said the objective of these organizations was to present evidence to Syming ton that he had substantial support among delegates to the June Democratic conven tion in Los Angeles. Symington has made it clear he is eager for the president ial nomination, although he has not declared himself a formal candidate. by Bl When you visit this fascinating inland seaport, be. sure to stay at the FLAGSTONE MANOR MOTEL, Stockton's Garden Motel.

A request for money to continue what is expected to be a 853,000 project has gone to the National Science Foundation. The hail project is also making use of a radar-equipped truck. With radar it is possible to get a cross section view of a storm, see the actual patter of large drops of hail and sriowflakes. As in most other areas, automation is taking over the weather business. The "weath er man" with his clip-board, going out to take readings of temperature, humidity, pres sure, has been superseded in large part by electrical sens ing devices including radar. Last year there were 40,000 upper - air soundings taken over the country by balloon born instruments. Prized addition to the OSC meteorology teaching and re search activities, is a $250,000 weather radar unit scanning the skies from Mary's Peak. It was acquired along with research jobs that the OSC weather staff and meteorology students are doing for the Army Signal Corps. Research contracts have brought the meteorological research group $157,500 in past five years, Decker said. Most of this has come from the Army Signal Corps lab oratories at Ft. Monmouth, N.J. Projects done by Deck er, his staff and students, in clude an analytical study of weather effects on army oper ations in World War II and the Korean war; the working out of design criteria for weather equipment and tech niques needed for army oper ations; a syllabus for training army weather officers. From Topograph Study The huge truck - mounted weather radar unit on Mary's Peak came in connection with a current $33,000 army study of the topography of the west coast as it effects storms. This latest in weather equipment is housed in two specially built vans. It en ables observers to make case histories of the ocean storms that sweep across Oregon, sighting them as, far as 250 miles away. As an incidental service the radar watchers on the peak report current ob servations to the U.S. Weath er Bureau for transmission over the . aviation weather teletype circuit. Like many of the research projects being carried on at Oregon's tax - supported col leges and university, this Mary's Peak weather observ ance has turned up a by-pro duct discovery that may be more important than the original purpose. The weather watchers at Mary's Peak have discovered that, in contrast to the usual patterns, the rain gauges on the lea side of the mountain collect twice as much rainfall as on the ex posed side. This precipitation pattern has led into a new examination of air flows over the mountains that, Dr. Deck er believes, may open a door to toe- fundamental process of producing rain. The OSC meteorologists think that the unusual rain fall pattern in lea of the peak proves that the "wave train" - the crests of air movement which may come from two to twenty miles apart - is close ly related to precipitation oc currence. The National Science Foun dation has given the meteor ology staff $5,000 to look fur ther into this. naaffiG L L ROAMER - STOCKTON, CALIF. FREE!
