Newspaper Page TextIn the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Well, it has happened. itussia is iirst to send a man into space, orbiting him around the world in 89 min utes and bringing him back alive and unhurt to a land ing at a predetermined spot in his own country . , , thus proving that a space vehicle can be GUIDED BACK after performing its mission. LONDON, Sir Bernard Lovell, director of Bri tain's Jodrell Bank Observa tory, says: "It is the greatest achievement in the HISTORY OF MAN." Alton Blakeslee, distin guished Associated Press sci ence writer, put it this way in his story: "In an awesome, daring and thrilling ride, a Soviet astronaut has Just turned a MOMENTOUS PAGE IN HUMAN HISTORY -for he has realized the ancient human dream of vaulting into space and com ing back safely to earth again." (In the Greek myth, Icarus tried it, but he soared too near the sun, which melted his home-made wax wings and sent him crashing back to oblivion.) TT IS a staggering achieve- ment. The world is thrilled. If there are OTHER worlds out in space, and inhabited by living beings with advanced communications systems, they too are thrilled. Sir Bernard Lovell , is probably right in calling it the greatest achieve ment in the history of man. SEARCHING question: Why was Russia first? THERE may be a hint in dispatches from Moscow. Here is a sample paragraph from one of the stories: "As word of Gagarin's achievement spread through the city, Moscow's streets be came reminiscent of Pitts burgh after last fall's World Series victory - or Times Square, on a NEW YEAR'S EVE, .- "Snowballing pro cessions of students swarmed down Gorky Street (Moscow's main stem) in a spontaneous dem onstration. They, weren't just having fun. They were cele brating a SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENT." . In Russia, it appears, scien tific progress is regarded as immensely more Important than HAVING FUN. WE HAVE this in our, favor: There is as much differ ence between an average American home and an aver age Russian home as between their man-ln-space record and ours. But . Maybe we're devoting too much thought to achievement of the abundant life and too little thought to some of the more serious phases of mod ern life. ' At least, it's worth consid ering. ' HOPEFUL thought in con clusion: Prying open the secret of the atom bomb was an Amer ican achlevement-with help from some smart Britons. The Russians now know as much huuui me ;nium duuid us we do. Our Wright Brothers were the first to prove the feasi bility of mechanical flight. Now EVERYBODY knows about mechanical flight. Pre sumably, in time, we'll catch up in space exploration. HOPEFUL thought: Suppose both we and the Russians should become so interested in developing space exploration that we would forget to GO TO WAR! That would be SOMETHING.

Telephoto) 'Lightweight' Shows Promise at OSC CorvaUls "Lightweight" concrete made from Oregon produced expanded-shale ag gregates shows promise -for special purpose structures such as highway bridges, ac cording to research by an Oregon State college engi neer. . The expanded-shale aggre gate concrete weighs only about two-thirds as much as conventional sand-gravel con crete, with similar strength and workability. The reduced weight makes transportation and erection of pre-cast struc tures less costly and also per mits some flexibility in design not possible with - normal- weight concrete. Churchill Flies Back To London New York-(HPD-Slr Winston Churchill,. 86, flew back to his London home today after a two-day visit to the United States that he never expected to make. He left TCew York Interna tional Airport. The former British prime minister showed, fatigue as he was put aboard a Pan Ameri can World Airways jet this morning by his old friend, Bernard Baruch, 90, and his cruise host, Aristotle Onassis. He had given his famous V-for-victory salute as he left Onassis' yacht for the trip to the airport, but he only doffed his hat briefly for photograph ers at the plane. Sir Winston told friends during his 1959 visit to Wash ington, Gettysburg and New York that he did not expect ever to return to the United States. But Greek shipping tycoon Onassis' yacht brought him here from a Caribbean vacation Tuesday night for what may be Churchill's last glimpse of his mother's home land and his own wartime ally. PHONE SP 2-4030 I Suit- ffi Wt, a Spanish Monestary in 1835 . . . . -. M. Batlle, monk of the Abbey he learned the parchment Concrete Engineers have long recog nized the advantages of the light-weight aggregate con crete, but limited knowledge about its properties particu larly shrinkage and expan sion have kept it from wide usage. ' The new studies by Gordon W. Beecroft, assistant profes sor of civil engineering at OSC, provide basic data on the light weight aggregate concretes, and will serve as a valuable guide to their usage. The shale aggregates are found in abundance in some Oregon areas. Aggregates Are Crushed For the lightweight con crete, the shale aggregates are crushed, then heated to an almost molten , state. Under heat, they expand and when cooled are full of tiny honey comb type holes. The result is a light material, weighing about half as much as an equal volume of gravel. The project was conducted by the Oregon state highway department in cooperation with the federal bureau of public roads. Beecroft worked for the highway department before joining the OSC staff in 1958, and has continued the work during summers since then. Findings were presented at the annual meeting of the fed eral highway research board earlier this winter in Wash ington, D.C., and at the Northwest Highway Engi neering conference in Seattle, Music Course To Be Offered af College Ashland-Music in the ele mentary school, Ed, 407, 507, will be offered as one of the Southern Oregon college 1961 summer sessions, July 31 to Aug. 11. It will be instructed by Miss Helene Robinson, as sociate professor of music. The object of this course, which offers 3 hours credit, is to develop a program to pro mote and aid children's musi cal growth in: appreciation; musical understanding; skills in singing; playing classroom instruments; physical inter pretation of music; and read ing musical notation; listen ing; and creating music.

Mary Wright, Reporter MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON RAT'S NEST OF DOCUMENTS Uncluttered Fiscal Affairs Make Figuring Income Tax Fairly Simple By DICK WEST Washington -(UPD- Financial ly speaking, I am a simple man mainly because I don't have enough money to be complex. In 1960, all of my income came from "salaries and wages." I had, 4.S therefore, no "gains and losses from Weit sales or ex- changes of property other than capital assets. Neither did I rake in any thing from "annuities or pen sions," or from "rents and royalties" or from "partner ships, estates, trusts and other sources."

Five Appear in Circuit Court In circuit court action this week, two men pleaded guilty to charges, two received sus pended sentences and one had an attorney appointed. Two men, James Earl Rains, 'Jacksonville, and Cloys Eugene Adams, Pros pect, each received five year suspended sentences from Judge Edward C. Kelly. The Mail Tribune had previously stated they appeared before Judge James M. Main. Rains was charged with burglary not in a dwelling, and Adams appeared on a charge of rape. Both had pleaded guilty to the charges. Appearing before Judge Main, Elmer Boyd Gravelle, 30, of Jacksonville, was sen tenced to 15 months in the Oregon state penitentiary on a charge of using a motor ve hicle without the permission of the owner. He pleaded guilty to the charge Tuesday and was sentenced Thursday morning. Judge Main appointed Ken Denman attorney for Fred erick Bernard Beck, 20, of Rogue River, when he ap peared on a charge of contri buting to the delinquency of a minor. Eugene Douglas Reedy, Myrtle Creek, pleaded guilty on a grand jury indictment of non-support. He was ar raigned before Judge Kelly, who continued the case pend ing receipt of federal bureau of investigation reports. He was released on $500 ball. IN T.R.'s FOOTSTEPS Boston-flJPD-A distinguished family in U.S. politics was represented today in the 14th annual Student Government Day at the State House. Tak ing part in the day was Theo dore Roosevelt IV of Paoli, Pa., great-grandson of the na tion's 26th president, who was named as a student state representative from Groton school. And, finally, I registered a blank on "Income (or loss) from unincorporated busi ness" and on "profit (or loss) from business or profession." If you asked me how I man aged to avoid enriching my self by these methods, I would have to say that I'm just lucky, I guess. At least I felt lucky when I sat down to make out my income tax re turn. Makes Job Easy My relatively uncluttered fiscal affairs spared me the task of figuring out how much I could deduct for deprecia tion and amortization, not to mention depletion of oil wells. Nevertheless, in order to satisfy the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service I am obliged to maintain and preserve two drawers full of old doctor bills, cancelled checks, gasoline receipts and other vital statistics. I got to wondering, as I was sorting out this rat's nest of deductible documents, just how much of a paper-saving burden is imposed on the citi zenry by various government regulations. Pharmacy as Career For Women Is Being Realized in Country CorvaUls A pharmacist is a "man" in most people s minds still, but about one out of eight pharmacists in Ore gon today is a woman and the number seems certain to Increase steadily in years to come, the dean of pharmacy at Oregon State college, be lieves. The suitability of pharmacy as a career for women is just beginning to be fully realized in this country, according to Dean Charles O. Wilson. Education Bill Speed-Up Urged Washington-IUPD-The House Education and Labor Commit tee started its own count down today to launch Presi dent Kennedy s education pro gram as one answer to Rus sia's man-ln-space achieve ment. Chairman Adam Clayton Powell (D-N.Y.) urged his col leagues to get cracking on bills to carry out Kennedy's $4.7 billion proposal to up grade American education. The Negro congressman took a personal pledge not to introduce proposals to bar fed eral aid to racially segregated schools. Declaring that the challenge posed to Americans by the Soviet cosmonaut over rode all other considerations, Powell said he would sponsor no amendments tnat couia kill school aid. Powell has sponsored anti discrimination amendments to school bills In the past, and Invariably they have resulted In the death of the legislation. Powell arranged for a sub committee now working on Kennedy's $2.4 billion college aid measure to place a bill before the full committee by April 19. . , Ashland Teacher Gets Fellowship Ashland - Mrs. Selma Mc- Alaster, Ashland High school journalism teacher, has been awarded a fellowship to at tend a journalism seminar at the University of Oregon, Eu gene, June 19 through July 15, Mrs. McAlaster also teach es speech and English.

The seminar will include four weeks of concentrated work In a wide range of jour nalistic subjects. Approximate ly 20 teachers have studied at the U n i v e r s i t y of Oregon school of journalism under such grants the past three summers. Oregon Mutual Insurance Company LELAND CLARK Agency Personalized Service 15 Saving Over 60 Yeart 27 Yeart in One Location 7 North Bartlett Phone SP 2-4646 Fortunately, my curiosity could be easily slaked by hunting up a copy of the re vised "Guide to Record Re tention Requirements" recent ly published by the General Services Administration. 90S Entries in Guide You perhaps will not be surprised to hear that 10 ex ecutive departments and 17 independent federal agencies place on the public record keeping responsibilities of one sort or another. In all, the guide contains 908 entries that require various individuals and com panies to retain records any where from 30 days to "per manently." If, for example, you collect admission tickets to some event, you have to preserve the stubs at least six months. If you are engaged in the manufacture of smoking opi um, you must keep permanent records. Proprietors of bonded wine cellars are required to keep 35 different types of records. But persons producing wine for family use have to keep only one. The U. S. has about 110,000 pharmacists practicing today, with 6,000 or 5 per cent of them women. Oregon has ap proximately 1,150 full-time pharmacists with 145, or 12 per cent of them women. In some foreign countries though Latin America, Finland 90 per cent of the pharmacists are women. Looking : ahead, national leaders in pharmacy foresee the day in the not too distant future when half of all phar macists in the U.S. will be women, Wilson added. About 12 per cent of the students in pharmacy schools across the nation are coeds today, a sharp increase over past years. Oregon Slate Enrollment Oregon State has 44 coeds and 260 men students en rolled In pharmacy this year. "Fine and varied opportu nities" await w o m e n and men in pharmacy, Dean Wil son emphasized. Drug stores, of course, claim the majority of the nation's pharmacy graduates, but there are hun dreds of jobs in hospital phar macy, pharmaceutical sales, research, and other phases of Industry. Women get along well in pharmacy because there is no heavy work Involved, hours and working conditions are good, women are especially skillful in many phases of pharmaceutical practice, and they meet the drug store pub lic mostly w o m e n with ease and understanding. Work Opportunities Part-time" work opportu nities are exceptionally good for women trained as pharma cists, Wilson added. Many pharmacy graduates who are now homemakers supplement the family income and keep informed on new pharmaceu tical advances by working a few hours a week as a relief pharmacist in a drug store. If they should need to re turn to full-time work, jobs are usually available because the demand for pharmacists far exceds the supply, he noted. Pharmacy is a five-year course this year for the first time in all U.S. pharmacy schools, Wilson stated. The five-year program was adopt ed to Insure a broad educa tion for graduates along with intensive professional train ing . High school preparation lor pharmacy should Include all possible science and mathe matics, according to Wilson.
