Bo 1331, Medford Phon.: TA 6-2090 New York -UPD- A plan of life he designed as an Indiana farmboy has led Raymond E. Umbaugh along a path from successful farmer to scientist to corporate executive. His plan was a simple four point program-research, earn capital, contribute to political progress, contribute to educa tion. "I'm now in phase three," says Umbaugh, a young-man-in-a-hurry type who at 39 years of age lists the follow ing among his varied accom plishments: -He heads his own aircraft corporation which last week began mass production of the Umbaugh-18, a new hybrid aircraft that takes off vertical ly like a helicopter, but flies like an autogyro. Own Chemical Company -He formed his own agri cultural chemical company, which now is a multi-million' dollar firm, with headquarters at Ocala, Fla. -He conceived the idea for egg transfer in cattle, provid ing a means of gathering fer tilized eggs from good cows and transferring them' into the reproductive systems of scrub cows, where the eggs grow into prize calves. -During his war service in the Air Corps, he aided in the development of an electronic sub-spotting device and de velopment of an anti-fatigue pill for pilots. After the war, Umbaugh drew on his farm heritage to create a new approach in soil fertility practice and crop yield. Noting the trend to scien tific farming and large farms and ranches, he applied a principle of soil analyzation and tailor - made, prescription fertilizers and chemicals to big - scale operations. It was then he formed Umbaugh Ag ricultural Chemical company Using airplanes and heli copters instead of a u t o mobiles, he and his salesmen flew right into the farmer's backyard to tell their story, analyze soil and sell custom chemicals and fertilizers by the carload instead of the sack. Soil analysis is available from Various . government agencies, but few farmers and ranchers took advantage of it because of distances, time in volved, and other factors. They welcomed the new Um baugh service. ' The success-of this business venture made Umbaugh real ize the importance of aviation in the business and profes sional fields. Loan League Cites Two for Service Recognition for 25 or more years of continuous service was. given to W. J. Warner and Glenn O. Taylor, Medford, at the annual convention of the Oregon Savings and Loan league in Eugene recently. Both men are officers of the Jackson County Federal Savings and Loan association. Representing the local asso ciation at the state-wide meet were H. J. Field and J. H. Pletsch accompanied by their wives. Highlights of the confer ence included a panel discus sion, "Your Public Image," and a speech entitled "The Good Life," by Dr. William C. Jones, acting president of the University of Oregon. Eu gene Mayor E. E. Cone pre sented the welcoming address, and State Treasurer Howard C. Belton spoke to the group. A luncheon was also held at the newly opened Village Green Motor hotel for the wives of the delegation, after which they toured the Chase Orchid gardens. Jaycees Discuss Future Events Medford Junior Chamber of Commerce members discussed a variety of topics at their meeting last week, including an up-coming book drive, a "Bosses Night" dinner, and other future events. Omar Bacon, librarian of the Public Library of Med ford and Jackson county, ex plained the book drive to be sponsored by the Jaycees. The project is headed' by Gary Colton. Bill Tope said plans are now being made for the "Bosses Night" dinner to be held Nov. 22. Douglas Peters showed a film of the 1959 Jaycees na tional convention in Buffalo, N. Y. At the meeting Nov. 1, Bob Jones and David Curzon, YMCA general secretary and physical director respectively, are scheduled to discuss the YMCA physical fitness pro gram. West Palm Beach, Fla. -fllPD -U. S. Ambassador to Cuba Philip Bonsai returned to this country Saturday. The event was viewed as a possible pre lude to a complete break in diplomatic relations with the island nation. He saw the need for a low cost ah craft for businessmen, farmers, professional men and technicians. He engaged the services of , some of . the na tion's top aero engineers and they developed the Umbaugh- 18, a rotary wing aircraft de- signed to sell for under $10, 000. "Keep it big and it will dominate," said Umbaugh, so he has set his first year sched ule of production at 10,000 aircraft. Industry experts regard his goal as unrealistic, pointing out that aircraft manufactur ers in all of the United States produce only 6,500 aircraft annually, both private and commercial. But already de posits have been made more than 6,000 planes. A native of Argos, Ind., Umbaugh likes to look at nis success as a credit to the American way of living. One of a family of nine children, he worked his way through. college, at and Clark high school and tending Purdue Universities. His formula for success: "Operate big and. keep it simple in this forward-looking country, and you will succeed."
