8 IB. fx v' . c -j'Cq ATTEND SCHOOLS This week, seven Naval Research from the Medford area commenced six months of active duty at naval schools on the west coast. This group, in addition to four others already -in train- ing constitute a record enrollment from a single electronics division in the 13th Naval district under the new accelerated training program. The men are, left to right, Dick Coolant for Aluminum Engine Found by C hem ica I Com pa n ies UPI Automotive Editor Detroit, r IUPII - Chemical ; companies have solved the problem of providing a cool ant for cars with aluminum engines. There has been little fan fare about the formulation of a ' new coolant solution for aluminum engines because the new formula was developed by Union Carbite Chemicals Co., which makes antifreeze for companies which market it under their own labels. ' Because of this setup Union Carbide Chemicals doesn't talk about its developments but lets the private' label com panies proclaim the merits of their products. ' Auto Industry engineers, however, say , the new formu la, which is being marketed Under the same labels carried on the old formulas, is a much improved product especially ' for aluminum engines. h ., ,.. ''. , Must Follow Procedural ; Although the chemical com panies claim the old formula antifreezes provided adequate protection, for aluminum en gines, they admit it was nec essary for a motorist with an aluminum engine to . follow the recommended 'mainten ance procedures to the letter to be completely safe.i , , ., The pew formula provides at least as much protection for aluminum engines as the old formulas did for cast Iron engines. And it provides much better protection for cast iron engines than the old formulas and protection at- least equal to the new "miracle" anti freezes brought out recently, chemists say. The new formula actually provides much longer protec tion for any engine than the old formulas did for cast Iron engines alones But its longer effective life probably will not be promoted because a motorist still would be asking for trouble if he failed to go through the . regular spring and fall radiator drain and flush. System Mutt Be Checked Although the new solution will hold up for longer periods of time, the cooling system it self still has to be checked for leaks and worn out parts. "No matter how good a coolant is, an engine still can become overheated if the cool ant is allowed to drain out through a leak," one engineer said. The engineer' pointed out that radiator hoses usually last only about two years and cooling system , connections can work loose and begin to leak in less than six months. The best part of the new formula is that, unlike the new "miracle" coolants, It will be marketed at about the tame price' as old formula coolants which were designed ' primarily to protect cast iron engines. The chemists, however, em phasized that even old formu la coolants, with proper main tenance, would provide ade V 0 quate protection for cars with aluminum engines for one season.' .':' ' ' t No Insurmountable' Problem They pointed out that many auto companies have used aluminum components in the cooling system in the past. And motorists' driving these cars had no problems although they were using old formula coolants, they said. 1 Really, they said, there is no insurmountable problem . in providing protection for alum inum engines.

Harriet R. - Mother doesn't trust us to be on our own. Mrs. L. R. - Harriet doesn't like to take orders from any one.' : . " ' ' ' ' ''', Harriet R. - I am 13 arid I have a younger sister, 11. My father has been ill re cently and as a result my mother has had to go to work. My father is working now as well, but Mom is working to make up for some of the ex penses accumulated while he was ill. ., Mother wants my sister and me to go to the home of her friend after we come from school. This lady has a daugh ter of 12 and two little boys. My sister and I don't like these kids.. We want to 4tay on our street and play with our own friends. I feel that I am well able to take care of the two of us. But Mother doesn't trust us to be on our own. , Mrs. L. R. - It's not that I don't trust the girls, but I know I, would worry about them while I'm at work. My friend is a very reliable per son and I would have ho wor ry at all if I knew the girls were under her care. ; There have been several un pleasant , happenings involv ing teenagers in our neighbor hood recently. These children came from respectable homes, yet they managed to get Into trouble. I also worry about the girls getting into squabbles. Har riet is very bossy and her sister resents this. Harriet doesn't like to take orders from anyone and I suspect that is why she wants to be on her own. , j . .'.-.. i The Council) We think Mrs. L. R. is right in' her belief that teen-agers or sub-teens need supervision these days. At one time a 13-year-old girl was expected to under take considerable responsibil ity for younger children, but today the teen years seem to be a danger period and a teen-ager may well require "Mobilheat" The Oil To Burn WE GIVE pa I GREEN STAM PS, MEDFORD FUEL CO.

Coolants can easily be com pounded to protect any one metal from corrosion. The more difficult problem, which has been solved by Union Car bide Chemicals, is to develop a compound which will give the best all-around protection for all types of metals. ; ! .. ' j even closer adult supervision than a younger child. . ' It should be remembered, however, that these adolescent youngsters, naturally have a longing for mature responsi bility and should be encour aged In their yearning to grow up. Therefore, the supervision must be of a different sort from that given to younger children. . , ..'., .. ' We suspect that Harriet is somewhat put out because she Is being sent to a home where. there are younger chil dren. Possibly her mother's friend treats her like one of her own youngsters - just one of the kids. . , Perhaps it would help the situation if Mrs. L. R. would tell-her friend that Harriet would like to be considered a young lady. Since she has a girl who will soon be Har riet's age, she may be quick to understand that when a girl enters her teens, she requires slightly' different treatment than that accorded youngsters just below that important di viding line, ' It might help Harriet to be given' some special responsi bility when she comes from school. Possibly . she can do some of 'the marketing or take over the mending or other chores her mother usually handles. Perhaps she can give her mother's friend a hand with some job around the house. This will enable her to build up her status among the younger children. Harriet's "bossiness" of her younger sister may be just a substitute for doing something more adult. When she is given useful, i important tasks, her sister will respect her more and there will be less resent ment and squabbling.. ; (Copyright 1960. General Features. Corp.)

The Domiciliary received honorable mention in last year's contest. The contest is in conjunction with Fire Pre vention Week Oct. 9 through 15. The White City Domiciliary has been active in fire preven tion programs since its start in 1948. Since 1948, there has been no loss of life by fire. Property damage has amount ed to less than $500. Visual aid and lecture pro grams are used in focusing at tention on fire prevention. White City also has its own fire department. OIL BUSINESS " About two million persons are engaged in the oil business. MEDFORD MAIL Air Force By JOSEPH L. MYLER Washington-IUPD-Birds, bees, beetles, not to mention scor pions; spiders, v and snakes, may help to make the ballis tic beast a little less stupid They already have provid ed clues for improving hear ing aids, computors, speed' ometers, and other elcc- speedometers, and other clec' Ironic or mechanical devices, Eventually they may - give man better understanding of himself. But according to Brig. Gen, B. G. Holzman, people -usually manifest amusement, re vulsion, incredulity, or even alarm when they hear the Air Force is spending the taxpayer's money for research on such creatures as bats, lizards, newts, and toads. The Air Force, however, Isn't trying to concoct a bet ter witch's brew. It is inter ested in improving the qual ity of modern military gadg- etry, and the study of animal nervous systems and animal senses, Holzman says, is one way of doing this. 1 Unique Characteristics ' . Holzman is vice command er of the Air Force Research Division of the Air Research and Development Command. In a recent article published by the American Association for the Advancement of Sci ence Holzman says nature has produced many animals "with unique and highly developed characteristics far beyond those of man." . 'These animals," he says, "perform complex chores be yond the capability of the most sophisticated computers available today." A lot of people consider the manned bomber obsolete in this era of missiles. ' "But the missile," Holz man writes, "is a stupid beast. It only goes where you tell it to go. If you don t know where to send it, it is virtual ly worthless. A manned bomb er is infinitely more versa tile than a missile. . "But a missile operated by a computer that works like a man's brain would indeed make the manned bomber ob solete. And this, among other things, is what we are search ing for in our biology research program." Can Learn Principles From study of how nature has solved her control and communication problems, Holzman says, scientists can learn principles which in turn "can almost certainly lead to an increase in the versatility of future instruments." ! Library Notes Increase in Use Circulation books from the public library of Medford and Jackson county increased 30 per cent last month over Sep tember, 1959, Omar Bacon, li brarian, has announced. A total of 19,219 books were checked out last month, compared to 14,801 a year ago. Medford residents checked out 13,935 books, an increase of 14 per cent. Central Point residents were the next most active library users with 1,5751 book borrowings, an increase of 178 per cent. Phoenix was next in terms of percentage increase, with a 168 per cent rise. Books checked out jumped from 195 in 1959 to 524 in 1900. Library branches in sur rounding communities loaned 5,284 books in September, an increase' of 104 per cent over September, 1959.
