MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford, Or. ' Wednesday, April 13, 140 Telephone Co. Puts New Name On Vehicles Here First outward indication of Pacific Telephone-Northwest, the telephone company's new organizational set-up, came to Medford Monday with the changing of the company name on trucks and cars here. Manager J. H. Creagcr said the new decals on all Com pany vehicles show the name as Pacific Telephone-Norm west," replacing the former "Pacific Telephone and Tele graph company" markers. Creager explained the name change followed the forma tion on Feb. 1 of Pacific Tele phone-Northwest as the new operating unit of the Bell Sys tem serving Oregon, wash Ington and northern Idaho. A new headquarters is in the process of being establish ed in Seattle. Walter W. Stra- ley, new president of Pacific will have offices there and in Portland also. Creager said the reason for the change was to bring top authority closer to the com- munities served, and make possible more effective atten. tion to local problems involv ing service, employees and the general public. IGY Information Being Published Cleveland - (Science Serv ice) - Between 90 and 93 per cent of the information col' lected during the Internation al ueophysical Year is ex pected to be in by the end of this year, Drs. Hugh Odi shaw and Pembroke J. Hart of the U. S. National Commit tee for the IGY told the American Chemical society More than 30,000 scientists of 67 nations have been get ting Information on subjects ranging from space probes to ocean depths since the be ginning of the IGY In July, 1957. This information is now be ing collected at three centers -one in Washington, D. C, one in Moscow, and one that is a cooperative effort on the part of various scientific so cieties in Europe and Japan. According to Dr. Hart, the nations seem to have lived up to their international agree ments on the exchange of in formation. The final results of the IGY research will, he expects, com prise 30 volumes of about 400 pages each, of which the first nine volumes have already been published. mm i r ; tf .'it . 7.

M Silicone Rubber Can Be Improved Cleveland - (Science Serv ice) - Silicone rubber can be improved by stretching it, then irradiating it with high energy electrons while stretched, the American Chemical society meeting here was told recently. M. Prober, G. D. Cooper and F. F. Holub of the Gen eral Electric Research Labo ratory, Schenectady, N. Y., said samples of peroxide cross-linked silicone rubber treated this way had higher tensile strengths than similar samples that had not been irradiated or had been irradi ated without stretching. rr '.

The Council reports on prohlems that bays been dejlt wl h by responsible agencies and counselors. Gerald K. - Am I too old for her? Mabel F. - She is nothing compared with his deceased wife. e Gerald K. - I am a widow er of 45 wlln two marriea children. I have been living alone since my youngest mar ried six months ago. I have not thought of re marriage until recently. I was too busy trying to help my children get started in their own lives. But now find my self very lonely. Recently I met a charm ing girl of 28 through some business associates. She is European and came here re cently through the efforts of her relatives. Both her par ents are dead and she seems completely bewildered. I showed her some of the sights In our city and I don't know when I've had more fun. I then took her to a concert and a few other places. She is so appreciative of everything done for her I feel I would like to be with her always. My sister think's it's a ridic ulous idea. see Mabel F. - I would like nothing better than to see my brother married again. He needs the comfort and com panionship of a wife and has gone on too long alone, sac rificing everything for his children, But I think the age differ ence is Just too much in this case. My brother looks young for his age, but so does this girl. She's a kid and he's a mature mnn. He needs a wom an of his own age or a little younger. This girl has been natter ing him and playing up to him because he has money and can take her to the best places. She wouldn't give him a tumble if he couldn't take her out in style. Gerald has built up a whole romance about her, but I've met her several times and find her very ordinary. She is abso- Statement of Power Gained Through Suffering Raises Doubts lulely nothing compared with Gerald's deceased wife. He's so silly. see The Council: Mabel is all wrong to downgrade the young woman merely because she considers the match unde sirable. Gerald finds her at tractive and companionable and Mabel's opinion doesn't figure into the argument at all. Apart from this issue, we think Mabel is right. The age difference is a big one and it would probably play an unfor tunate role in such a mar riage. Even more important is the fact that Gerald and the young woman have found one another at a moment when they are not quite their nor mal selves. Gerald has just emerged from a kind of re treat in which he has had no thought of his personal hap piness. He is just getting his bearings as a free man. At the moment his freedom may seem a burden and rather frightening, yet is could be a mistake to dispose of it too quickly out of a sensation of panic. The young woman is also in a transition period, uprooted from her old life, about to en ter a new one and without a clear picture of what life in this country holds for her. She too, might be tempted to jump for security. Later, when she knows this country better, she could feel she acted too has tily. We also think Gerald, accus tomed to his role as father, finds this a convenient one to assume in relation to a young woman, but it can be irksome when two individuals live on the day-to-day level. He is likely to be much happier if he can find a companionable woman closer to his own age -and there are plenty of them around. FTC Examiner Suggests Timken Case Be Dropped Washington - (UPD - A Fed eral Trade Commission exam iner has recommended dis missal of government charges that the Timken Roller Bear ing Co. illegally requires dis tributors to handle its replace ment products exclusively. It was the second time examiner William L. Pack has recommended dismissing the 1956 charges against Timken, the nation's largest manufac turer of roller bearings, lo cated at Canton, Ohio. The FTC charged that Tim ken had employed unfair methods to prevent its dis tributors and jobbers from handling the products of com petitors in the replacement field. Following Pack's initial de cision in the case, the com mission ordered him to take another look at the evidence and produce a new report. This week Pack came up with another finding that Timken has not engaged in exclusive dealing arrangements with its distributors. Salesmen Testify He said that 39 Timken salesmen and executives testi fied that "as a matter of fact the majority of Timken dis tributors and jobbers do han dle competing bearings with out anv interference on the part of Timken." The examiner contended that the anti-trust laws per mit "a seller to push his own goods and, if he can, to induce or persuade purchasersrto han dle his goods exclusively." He said the only require ment of the law is that "the transaction must not be 'on the condition' that the custo mer will not deal in the goods of a competitor." Pack's recommendation is not final and may be appeal ed, stayed or reviewed by the full commission. BY BISHOP JOHANNES E. R. LILJE President Lutheran World Federation Written lor UPI That power can be gained through suffering is, of course, one of those paradoxical state ments. As in most cases, we may have our serious doubts whether a statement of that sort can really be true. If you want power, it Is certainly more effective to beat than to be beaten. And wasn't Nietz ache right when he told the Christians that their theology was that of the underdogs and that they Just made a pious philosophy out of the simple fact that ihey were unable to gain power and did not know how to do it? Another Side Still, there Is another side. Perhaps we cannot point to Mahatma Gandhi who paved the way for India's freedom by suffering, because his his toric mission was exceptional and cannot be repeated by everybody. But in a more personal, and at the same time more general way St. Paul speaks about the same phenomenon, when he states that the power of God will be fully felt in and through human weaknesses. Paul's own life is proof of this. He was able to fulfill a unique life-task in spite of serious physical handicap. He realized the miraculous help of God In the midst of tre mendous riifficiencies of man. To him, this was on a smaller scale the same experience as that of Christ who by under going sufferings and death turned the fate of the world. In a generation like ours, which had to bear a heavier burden of sufferings than many a generation before, we should help each other to un derstand that sufferings can become the source of inner strength if only we are pre pared to discover the bless ings which are hidden in them. rjjj Jji 1 1 MEDFORD PAINT and NT WITH Itcawttlaui Wallpaper Store 6th I Holly Dlnontlif Across (rem Post Ottlco PHONE SP 2-9321 Wo Gi S1H GRCEN S M c STAMPS S Security Insurance & Realty r IT'S JUST GOOD BUSINESS TO INSURE YOUR BOAT!
