TULIP SHOW TODAY Order Your Bulbs From Actual Flowers BIG Y FEED & SEED GO. Highway 99 North Switzerland's Hail Research Program Reviewed at Meeting Dr. Raymund Sanger, head of the laboratory of atmos pheric physics, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zur ich, Switzerland, Friday after noon explained the extensive hail research program carried on in his country. The Swiss research is aim ed primarily at what makes hail stones grow, while re search in the Medford area is concerned with what produces hail stones. Dr. Sanger showed slides of greatly magnified cross sec tions of hail stones, made from slices two-tenths of a millimeter or 100th of an inch thickness. To study hail stone forma tions, Dr. Sanger uses a wind tunnel and apparatus to sus pend a frozen droplet, then shoots jets of water at it to artificially develop a hail stone. Such research reveals that hail stones start with a hard kernel and consist of only 30 per cent water and 70 per cent air. Polarized light fil tered through the transluscent hail stones revealed the air pockets and the various lay ers of development. Disprove Theory The stones (are developed by a freezing and re-freezing process. Four years of re search has disproved the theo ry that thermal currents fig ure prominently in their de velopment. Dr. Sanger said. Seeding of clouds with sil ver Iodide crystals has indi cated precipitation can be changed with this process, but has not been confirmed, the Swiss scientist said. Cloud seeding does not seem to af fect hail growth, he added. Growth of hail stones is d e p e n dent on atmospheric pressure, but aerodynamics does not apply, the Swiss re searchers have learned "There are many ways to pro duce hail," Dr. Sanger said Jud Parsons, Medford, who heads the hail research pro gram's local field work, asked that everyone observing a hail storm collect the stones and call SPring 3-4088 so research ers may nick them up. Observ ers should have a pre-frozen ice-cream or cottage cheese carton in their deep-freeze in which to keep the stones. They should note when the hail fell and for how long, Local Study Results Dr. Fred W. Decker; of the Oregon State college school of science, said local studies have revealed that a hail storm over any one area of the Rogue valley will have a scat- ered effect. Hail distribution is not even over any particu lar area, he explained. U. S. scientists have been using radar for some time to probe storms which may form hail. The Swiss researchers are just beginning to make use of radar. Dr. Decker not ed. Two radar machines have been used in this area for hail research. Main goals of the local re search program are: (1) to de termine the geographical dis tribution of hail occurrence; (2) determine the size of hail stones and their frequency of distribution; (3) to determine Welfare Conference Planned in Salem Salem-The annual Oregon State Conference on Social Welfare will be held May 8 and 9 in Salem, Conference Chairman Arthur E. Gravatt has announced. Approximate ly 400 are expected to attend. A keynote address, small group workshops and a panel discussion will center on the theme "Social Change Is Ev erybody's Business." William Lowther of the Marion coun ty public welfare commission is program chairman. Participating In the confer ence will be many staff mem bers from state and county welfare commissions, the gov ernor's committee on aging, Oregon state hospital, division of vocational rehabilitation, Lewis and Clark college, Port land university, Oregon state employment service, civil de fense and others.

Mutt Be Understood The hail stone formation must be understood thorough ly if hail storms are to be suppressed eventually, Dr. Decker said. Size and hard ness of the stones coupled with the information on the hail formation process will help reveal the kinds of storms which cause the great est damage, he noted. Pear growers have suffered considerable damage from hail Annual Fair Will Include Home Show The Crater Lions club's an nual Sports fair this year will be combined with a home and garden show May 5, 6 and 7 at the Medford armory. Dick Hawkins, chairman of the 1961 event, said that Invi tations had been sent to past participants, and that plans are under way for new dis plays, exhibitions, and demon strations to be included. The fair will Include model room exhibits, home furnish ings, appliances, new ideas in home construction, sporting equipment, hobbies and crafts, do-it-yourself ideas, films, gar den arrangements, a horse show, carnival booths, and an aqua show.

A hail sup pression program was spon sored by the Medford Pear Shippers association for 10 years, but was discontinued. Hailstorms hit an all time high in the summers of 1957 and 1958.
