Lent Is Period to
Grace of Lord in
By THE MOST. REV.
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.

from fasting those who are
infirm, who are on difficult
journeys, who are in the serv

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.

measure for control of sign
board advertising along most
major highways of the state.
Petitions are now off the
presses and are rapidly be

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

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

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

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."

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

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.
