Durer gave many copies of this print to kings and princes ot his time in recognition of the esteem in which he was held as philosopher-artist whose many messages remain alive even in our day. Sewage Treatment To Receive More Study at College Corvallis - More efficient methods for treating sewage and industrial wastes - a growing problem with grow ing U.S. populations - will be studied by Oregon State col lege during the coming two years with a new $29,000 grant from the National In stitutes of Health. Improved waste treatment methods are a "must" if water resources are to be preserved from pollution in years to conic, it was pointed out. Com plex new types of industrial wastes are posing new prob lems too. The OSC research will pro vide fundamental understand ing of the basic physical and biochemical factors that influ ence efficient treatment of various wastes. Development of new tests for measurement of pollution and treatment ef ficiency also will be empha sized. Joint Project The research is a joint proj ect of the school of engineer ing and the department oi b.icteriology. Project leaders arc Fred J. Burgess, civil en gineering, and C. M. Gilmour, bactei'iolnsy. Working with them are Fred Mcrryfield and Martin B. Northcraft of the engineering staff, and J. K. Carswcll, graduate research assistant In sanitary engineer ing. Cooperating in the studies are the Oregon state sanitary authority, the city of Corval lis, and the new OSC water resources Institute. The 129.000 grant li i con tinuation and expansion of re search started in March, 1959, on trickling filters used in sewaue d i s posal. Trickling filters arc bed.e. of stones or other packing over which the jewage "trickles" during the final disposal process. Micro bial actiorf helps oxidize the sewage to make" it less In nocuous. Eetermine Tiller Me-fifct That work .is dniinfd to determine Intrita tf the filter! fir stcondary or final oiicla lioa of the liquid portion of the sewepe before it is ready to be emptied into streams and carried away. It is believed the trickling filters may have special value for use in areas ment systems, but basic work on loading rates needs to be done. OSC is also studying possi bilities for using low-cost waste oxidation lagoons for sewage disposal in maritime climates of the Pacific North west. The lagoons, inexpensive to build and operate, are widely used in the Midwest and Southwest by small com munities and industries which are unable to afford sewage treatment plants. Other larger communities arc using them to expand existing facilities. The OSC study is the first time the lagoons have been tested in high rainfall re gions. Results to date indicate the lagoons would be feasible for the area. Stevens To Speak At SAF Meeting Gordon Stevens, forester and appraiser with the Med forri office of the Oregon state tax commission, will be guest speaker at the January meet ing of the Society of Ameri can Foresters. The meeting will be held Friday at 8 p.m. at the lied Cross building in Medford, ac cording to Carroll Brown, supervisor of Rogue River National forest, and chairman of the Medford-chapter of the SAF. Paul Linigcr, forester aiid timber tax specialist with the Industrial Forestry a s s o c i ation. Portland office, will also be present to appear with Stevens on a panel to discuss forestry taxation. Rrown emphasized that any one in southern Oregon who is interested in the problcjn of timber taeatinn in the state is welcflmc to attend. Lumber men and local legislators were particularly iovited to'gttend. Court Records DISTRICT COURT Richard H. Ztmtnprmsn, viola tion of hasir rule. SIS. PouKlai W. Coffman. failure to top.

Thus prepared, his maturity finds him engraving copper with a mastery no one will surpass. By all standards he will remain Germany's greatest artist. Nevertheless, he is not Germany's greatest painter. First and foremost, Durer is an engraver, splen didly subduing the metal plate to the grandeur of his ideas, mastering it with the marvelous intelligence of his craftsman's hand. At 13, his self-portrait shows us a youngster in full control of silverpoint. He is apprenticed to a publisher of illustrated books, Michael Wohlgemuth, where he suffers from the pranks of a rowdy crowd of other apprentices. But he learns much, the art ing intricate stories within small rectangles of Jarintsd lines. glarit Travel At 19 he surlt hii four years of travel a a journey man, lie works in Basel where, 20 years- later, Holbein will shine and become famous. Durer apparently crosses the Alps for a short while and discovers Italy in the headi ness of the Renaissance. lie, returns with copies of things he has seen there, dis turbed by the new ideas which have taken hold in Italy. Clearly the Gothic world to which Durer belongs has been dying although Nurnberg had not. known it. Over the years Durer will bridge the two great periods, masterfully blending the vigor of the Gothic and the har monies of. the "New Learn- of the woodcut, the art of tell-ing." So masterful was he in this respect that the proud Italians will borrow from his engravings, will copy him outright both in their prints and in many paintings where both his compositions and backgrounds were used - ex tensively. Receive Dielinelien Durer, alone of all German artists, received this distinc tion from the Italian artisli who were creating in a fer ment of intellectual pride, the Rennai$.sance and the Golden Age of painting. Strangely, Durer'i i n f 1 u ence on painters waa that of a thinker. What we find bor rowed from him are concepts rather than things. These con cepts Durer best expressed in superlative line, creating "color" solely by black and white, the pure language of the engraver of fine prints. Oregon AFl-CIO Sets Discussion On legislation Salem - 1UPII - The Oregon AFL-CIO will hold a pre lcgislalive conference here Saturday to discuss proposed legislation backed by labor and priorities on several measures. George Brown of Portland, executive director of the AFL CIO Political Education Com mittee, said labor's agenda includes: -Improvements in w o r k- men's compensation. -Opposition to the "three- way workmen s compensa tion bill, giving employers the option of insuring their em ployees privately instead of with the State Industrial Ac cident commission. -Elimination of the "20 20" provision of the state un employment insurance law, an eligibility requirement of 20 weeks of work per year with earnings of at least $20 per week. Calls For Committee -Opposition to Oregon's pro posed "little Landrum - Grif fin" bill. -Collective bargaining for public employees with cre ation of an interim committee to study retirement, health and welfare and working con ditions of public workers. -Amendment of the liquor law providing fines instead of closure of businesses for vio lation. -Opposition to gross income tax and cigarette tax proposals of the Interim Committee on Taxation. -Improvements in the state community college laws to re move existing roadblocks. -Require licensing of contractors. There is a riddle here and also a paradox. The paradox is the grandeur of size which the viewer intuitively feels in any of Durer's composi tion, although the cupper plate on which he worked may have been no longer than the page of a popular novel. The-riddle is in the fascina tion of Ihe world which Durer, a man of the Gothic axe, created for all of ua who fol low him in time. It is world in which we are at home, in which We enter with a twinge of awe, as unaccustomed at we are to this emotion. Creates World Durer creates a world where sunlight and shadow have intimations of mystery under the crystalline clarity of form. It is also a sane world, unlike that of a vision ary Blake or a haunted Goya. It has depth but it leads to no nether ones. In his own lime Durer, on the sole strength of his prints, woodcuts and engravings, was received as a prince in foreign lands. He was the friend of philosophers and of Martin Luther. He had the friendship and respect of artists and of princes. But, by some mystery, he was more, much more than a man of his single time. Forti fied by the craft of the gold smith, his hand was superbly endowed to make us the heirs of a vision both timeless and universal. He deserves your study. (Copyright 1961, General Featuree Corp.)
