o WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. IKS MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. A 9 Jewish Observance Of Rosh Hashana Will Begin Tonight Washington - (UPD - The most sacred period of the Jewish religious calendar be gins at sundown tonight with the observance of Rosh Ha shana, the Jewish new year. Rosh Hashana, a Hebrew term which literally means "head of the year," opens a 10-day period of repentance and rededication which ends I at sundown Friday, Sept, with Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. During this period, com monly called the "high holy days," devout Jews engage in sober introspection and spirit ual stock-taking. They review their conduct in the year gone by, repent their shortcomings and resolve to live up to high ethical principles in the year ahead. Tonight's ceremonies will Inaugurate the year 5721 on the Jewish lunar calendar. Orthodox and conservative branches of Judaism observe Rosh Hashana . for two days Reform Jews have a one-day observance. Unlike the celebration of the Passover, which centers in the home, Rosh Hashana is primarily an occasion for corporate worship in the synagogue. Yom Kippur, which begins 30, is the culmination of the sacred period and is regarded as the holiest day of the Jew ish calendar. Many Jewi ob serve it with total abstinence from food and drink. Gorillas may be thin or fat, and their facial expressions vary greatly. Some reveal marked family likeness, just as people do. The eastward "jet stream" in the upper atmosphere, sometimes speeding at more than 250 miles an hour, is higher in summer than winter. ANDERS' of VALUES!

On dais with him, to the left, is United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. tufl ielepnoto) Hurricanes Cost Hundreds of Lives, Billions in Damage Washington - (Science Serv- ice)-The ladies are expensive. Hurricane Donna and her sis ters have cost hundreds of lives and billions of dollars. The lives can be saved and the damage reduced - but that will take a lot of money, too. Especially diffi:ult to pre dict and warn of, even with advanced techniques antici pated In the future, will be storms such as Ethel, Donna's younger sister that came to life suddenly in the Gulf ot Mexico. Gulf storms are dangerous because they can reach land within two days of their birth. This is the word from the U.S. Weather Bureau as esti mates of Donna's damage climb to more than a billion dollars and deaths in the U.S. and West Indies add up to more than a hundred. Storms Watched Plastic Coating Used in Garden Fertilizers New York (Science Serv ice) - The latest in garden wear - for fertilizers - are plastic coatings, Dr. Kirk Lawton, professer In soils at Michigan State university, re ported here to the American Chemical Society meeting. The purpose of the coating is not to minimize odor. The dresscd-up fertilizers can cre ate "lush lawns and gorgeous gardens" better than conven tional uncoated fertilizers be cause the coating slows down the rate at which their vari ous constituents are released to the soil, he explained. The plastic coatings on fer tilizer makes It possible to meter out the nutrients more nearly as plants require them, Dr. Lawton said. Less Potassium Loss Laboratory and greenhouse experiments carried out by Dr. Lawton showed that a coated fertilizer lost only S.4 per cent of its potassium (an important fertilizer mineral) while the same amount of un coated fertilizer lost 81.3 per cent In the same period of time. Most fertilizer used on farms and gardens and lawns in the United States is ap plied before or at the time e crop is planted or starts growing. The components ot soluble fertilizers, therefore, are largely free to react with soil minerals. At this time the nutrient requirements of seed lings or transplants are small. Plastics used for coatings In the experiment included vinyl acetate, paraffin, acry lic resin and polythylene, ill of which were effective in reducing the rate at which soluble fertilizer normally dissolve In soils. Smith, Neuberger Suggest Ways To Improve Economy By United Press International Methods to improve Ore gon's economy were the ob jects of suggestions today by Oregon's two rivals for the U.S. Senate. Elmo Smith, the Republican nominee, urged a new agency to coordinate all forestry ac tivities. His Democratic rival, Mrs. Maurine Neuberger, pro posed a government spon sored tourist promotion pro gram to encourage Europeans Albany Plywood Firm Acquired Albany - (UPD - Control of Hub City Plywood and Three Sisters Plywood, Inc., both of Albany, has been acquired by Vancouver Plywood Corp., according to Elton Disher, general manager of the two Oregon firms. He said Vancouver Ply wood acquired about 51 per cent of the stock for a price In excess of $100,000." But recently installed and highly expensive radar now enables the , U. S. Weather Bureau to watch storms like Donna and Ethel better than ever. Carol, in 1954, was one of the most convincing argu ments for this new equipment. After moving sluggishly off Florida and South Carolina, Carol dashed one night for New England, where citizens slept unaware, By noon, some city areas were under eight to ten feet of water. Carol cost about S500 rail- lion. But Diane, in 1055, top ped that. And now Donna has over-reached both. Only twice in this century. before 1954, had the North east been in the path of se vere hurricanes. With the new equipment, a hurricane is usually noted first by radarmen at Cape Hatteras. But soon thereafter the hurricane can be seen on the big. $300,000 radarscope here. This radar has an ef fective range of about 250 miles - about 100 miles far ther thin earlier sets. Knowledge Used Radar data is combined with ship and hurricane recon naissance plant reports. Pre vailing weather conditions and knowledge of the turns and paths of earlier hurri canes are also used in the forecast of a new hurricane. Soon data may also come from satellites. A Tiros weather satellite scheduled this year will be "partially operational." That is, some of the pictures will be rushed to the Weather Bureau for use in predicting storms' paths. A fully operational weather satellite called Nimbus is planned for 1962. The satellites will probably help in predicting the paths of hurricanes. They will also provide early warnings and permit good estimates of a hurricane's size. Precious Information . But they may also reveal information more precious still: data on the mysterious birth of the storms on or near equatorial fronts. Apparently the spin of the earth combines wtih other weather factors to produce these hurricancs-but scientists need to know more. Some scientists have sug gested that with this further data, man can diminish hur ricane's force by rainmaklnj- by causing rain to fall before a storm reaches an area and thus "starving" the hurricane. Columbia Salmon Fishing Declines Portland -0IPD- Catches so far have been slim in the Co lumbia river since the com mercial salmon season opened this week, buyers and fisher men reported. One buyer said Tuesday he did not believe more than 3,000 pounds of salmon had been landed between the Van couver bridge and Mount Pleasant and that catches were small downstream. The Oregon Fish Commis sion said reports from Bonne ville Dam indicated the salm on run was down. Between Aug. 1 and Sept. 18 the salm on count there was 93,000 compared to 179,000 last year. Fishermen said apparently most of the fall salmon had reached Bonneville before the commercial season opened. Hunters Asked To Help FS Officials Yreka Supervisor Charles Yates of the Klamath Nation al forest has asked deer hunt ers for their help in protect ing young timber stands against porcupines. The porcupine population in recent years has increased to such a high level that they are doing serious damage to young pine stands on nation al forest and private timber lands. Porcupines damage pines by girdling, which gen erally results in deforming the trees so that they become valueless for growing into fu ture sawtlmber. Yates said that contrary to poplar belief, porcupines are not protected by law. The Klamath National Forest has a yearly control program to reduce the numbers of porcu pines In areas where they are doing the greatest damage. Control work was done on 31,700 acres of pine timber lands on the Klamath forest last winter. Deer hunters can be a big help to the control project by shooting porcu pines that they see in tne woods while hunting, Yates said.

Smith told a Rotary club meeting in Sweet Home Tues day that "Oregon's forests can produce more jobs if we Just get maximum efficiency from our forest resources." He urged state and federal government agencies and In dustry to get together to ex change ideas on forest prac tices. The forest industry, he said, "greatly needs stabiliza tion In management and mar keting. Up-to-date Inven tories to help obtain a full al lowable harvest each year would mean more jobs for Oregon, he said. In a speech prepared for delivery at Redmond, Mrs. Neuberger said the Central Oregon area offered poten tial as "the Switzerland of North America" because of year-round recreation attrac tions. This country, she said, does little or nothing to encourage Europeans to tour America. There is a $1 billion per year discrepancy in favor of Ameri can travel expenditures In Europe over European travel expenditures in America. Democratic candidates were to wind up a four-day tour of Eastern Oregon at Madras to night. They make a three-day tour of the coast starting Sunday. The battle of words between Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr., and his Demo cratic rival, Monroe Sweet land, picked up in intensity. Appling was critical of Sweetland for saying persons who turn 21 on the day after the November election are eligible to vote. He also took a verbal swipe at the state senator for what he termed a "garbled" bill to replace the coroner system in Oregon with the medical examiner system. 'Neaativa' Campaigns Hit Sweetland, speaking in John Day Monday, criticized point' cal campaigns run on a "nega tive" basis. He said he was against campaigns that are "high on criticism but low on substance and are loaded with platitudes but void of solu tions to urgent problems of government. Sweetland said In Burns Monday he would urge his Senate colleagues to recon sider their decision and accept the anDointment of E. B. Lem on to the State Scholarship Commission. A Senate com mittee voted against Lemon 3-2 last week end. He said Lemon "is probably the best qualified man In Oregon on the practical side of scholar ship problems." In Portland, Kennedy-Johnson headquarters said Orvillc Cutsforth, an Eastern Oregon Republican and former Elsen hower campaign worker, has announced he Is supporting the national Democratic tick et. He was quoted as saying the present administration had not fulfilled farm prom ises and that the Democratic platform comes closer to "giv ing us the kind of program the Oregon Wheat League has worked for." Cutsforth is a Lexington rancher. Brick Smashes Portland Window Portland 4ITPD Part of a brick was thrown through a large plate glass window at the headquarters of the strik ing newspaper unions early today, police reported. Witnesses told police a car sped from the scene about the time the window was shat tered. Other unions followed the stereotypcrs on strike against the Portland Oregonlan and Oregon Journal last Nov. 10. 1 -kI NEW PLYMOUTH The 1961 Plymouth, which is available in 26 different models, five engines, four different transmissions and 14 body colors, will be available at the Dick Knight company and Hamlin Motor company, both in Medford. The 1961 model s f ul . 1 , Hi has a new look of beauty and a new ride of stability, according to company officials. The car has made major engineering and styling gains in the areas of economical operation, trouble-free driving, luxury-car appearance and solid riding characteristics. Drug Industry Backs Stricter Label Decision Washington - (UPD - Food and Drug C o m m 1 s sioner George P, Larrick said today it probably would be the end of the year before the govern ment issues its final order re quiring stricter labeling of prescription drugs. Larrick told United Press International that the drug Industry "generally supports" the FDA's desire to issue stricter regulations covering the labeling of drugs. But he said the industry is in disagreement about how the public and the medical profession can be better ad vised on the nature of drugs on the market. The FDA, on July 22, is sued a series of proposed changes in its drug-labeling requirements. Complete Information Under the proposed regula tions, virtually all prescrip tion drug packages and print ed matter distributed to doc tors to promote the sale of a drug would be required to carry complete information on its professional me, in fects or necessary precau tions. Larrick said in an Inter ceding any hazards, side ef view that the American Pharmaceutical Organization and many drug firms have come up with alternative pro posals, largely of a technical nature which would have to be carefully studied before the FDA can spell out a final set of rules. The FDA said, in Issuing its proposal for new rules, that the large number of new medications "have made It Increasingly difficult for doc tors and pharmacists to keep adequately informed about them."
