MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1110 Traps Being Set To Catch Moths University Park, Pa. (UPD- The U. S. Department of Ait riculture lg setting 10,000 traps this summer over an 8,225-aquare-mile area in cen tral and eastern Pennsylvania. Department agents are try ing to round up the. gypsy moth, a devastating insect that can turn hardwood for ests into a shambles. Phillip M. Schroeder, the area pest control supervisor, heads the trapping expedition, which is being conducted in cooperation with Pennsylva nia State university's agricul tural extension division and the Pennsylvania department of agriculture. The moth traps being used in the program are, in them ; selves, unique. They are hol lovi:. metal cylinders which have a fly paper lining. Eight inches long and four inches In diameter, the traps are not exterminating devices, but are used merely to determine the presence of gypsy moths. Once a moth is trapped in a given area, then the sur rounding woodlands will be sprayed with' an insecticide. Fallout Low in South Hemisphere Washington - (Science Serv ice) - Radioactive fallout from nuclear test explosions is "considerably lower" in the Southern than in the North' em Hemisphere, four Naval Research laboratory scientists confirmed here. They said studies of the debris thrown into the atmos phere . when nuclear bombs ere exploded also showed that air in the stratosphere mixes only slowly across the equa tor. They compared the emounta of radioactive tung- eten-185 and strontium-90 in the air at various times after the 1958 nuclear tests in the Pacific. The usefulness of tungsten 185 as a tracer of fallout from the Hardtack test series is rapidly nearing an end be cause most of the element's radioactivity has disappeared. The report on radioactive con tamination of the atmosphere in Science is made by Drs. L. B. Lockhart Jr., R. L. Patter son Jr., A. W. Saunders Jr. and R. W. Black. Devices May Lower Television Costs New York - (Science Serv ice) - The little radio was made of two tiny new devices called "compactrons," yet it sounded as good as a fair sized table radio. Shown to reporters here, the radio was compared favor ably with a five-tube radio. It was said to surpass a seven transistor radio. The compactron is a tiny, single unit that can perform electronic functions now done by as many as three separate electron-control devices. Com pany engineers said the de vices' multi-function operation end small size would help make color television less bulky and less expensive. Ten compact-ons could replace 15 tubes and three diodes or 24 transistors and 11 diodes used in modern sets. The compactrons, which look like conventional tubes, are now in pilot production in Owensboxo, Ky. Powerful Magnet Planned for Lab Washington - (Science Serv ice) - A new national re search facility containing the world's most powerful magnet will . be built at Cambridge, Mass., for study of the funda mental properties of matter at temperatures near absolute zero, which is 459.7 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology will operate the facility under a multi million dollar contract with the Air Research and Develop ment command of the Air Force. The Air Force an nounced the project as a step to fill a void in the facilities available to the scientific world for extremely high, continuous magnetic fields. The laboratory is expected to be completed in 1964, An initial investment of $5.6 mil lion for construction and man agement of the program will be made during the Federal fiscal year 1081. Soap Said Harmless To Eczema Sufferer Chlcago-(Sclence Servlce) Eczema patients may use ordi nary toilet soap without fear of making their skin disease worse, five Cleveland physi cians report after a one-year study of 250 patients with four different kinds of skin rashes. Drs. Richard B. Stou ghton, Lew W. Potts, William Clendennlng, Stuart Fisher and Morton Kress, University hospital, collaborated on the report, which appears in the Journal of the American Medical association. wards ft MONTGOMERY WARD TT DRIP-DRY ARNEL1 SHARKSKIN SKIRTS A WONDERFUL SUMMERTIME SALE PRICE Summer white in Arnel Tri-acetatel Flutter of 4.47 piears mar stay mi a-its. r: n S3 STOCK-UP SALE!
