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.

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

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.

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."
