I was about midway through the volume when m y thoughts suddenly snapped their anchor chain and began to drift off in an other direction. If the Peace Corps is a good thing for the United States, I asked myself, why wouldn't it be a good thing for other countries to have one as well? I mean, wouldn't it be nice if other countries began send ing us teachers and techni cians to help us out In mat ters in which we are defi cient? Offhand I can think of a number of ways that this Festival Plays Tonight: "As You Like It." Wednesday: " C o r I 0 1 anus," Thursday: "Comedy of Errors." "A Thieves Bal lad."

There is no denying that we are backward in the pizza field, The ones I have been served would make good auto hubcaps, but as comestibles leave much to be desired. Then consider that we now have to import our Scotch whiskey. If Scotland would send a few Peace Corpsmen into the hills of Kentucky, I dare say they could soon have our moonshiners turning out a domestic blend that would pass for the real thing. U.

ORLC.ON We likewise are still one of the underdeveloped nations in the use of small foreign- built cars. They are used here primarily as a means of trans portation, which is an out moded concept. Peace Corps instructors from Hong Kong or Rome or Rio de Janeiro could quick ly teach us that these cars can be employed to better ad vantage in chasing pedestri ans off the streets, and some times off the sidewalks. It is to be hoped that other freedom-loving countries will recognize that we are an emerging nation in these fields and will get their Peace Corps men to us right away. Otherwise, Russia undoubt edly will move in with a Peace Corps of caviar experts.

Battery Russell Transfer Proposed Washington - IUPP -Rep.

Otherwise, the land would revert to the federal government. Norblad's bill would allow the parks division of Oregon to take it over. MffifflffllilHlTlK! '. . JUL. I Maybe Windmills Will Rise Again Mostly we look upon the windmill as a holdover from the days of the horse and bug gy. For the last decade or so the wind has been only a dis turbing agency, something to stir up dust, dry clothes, straighten out a flag, or as a temperamental power to pro pel sailboats, or for a small boy to sail a kite in. Even on farms and lonely ranches the windmill now is considered old-fashioned, and has just about been replaced by rural electrification. The age-old possibility of harnessing the wind as a source of power has intrigued the imagination of inventive man for ages, and found its highest perfection in the old windmill. But the uncertainty of the wind's constancy and force discouraged the adop tion of more elaborate wind machines, and we have turned to water power instead. Store It The old bugaboo of a fickle and temperamental wind can be easily licked today, merely by storing the power when it is available, for use when the wind does not blow. Storage batteries are a common enough piece of equipment, and if the need were created, large batteries, the size of a house, could be built, in which the power could be stored.

WATKINS . , (Registci and Tribune Syndicate 1962) few days during an entire year when a dead calm pre vails; over four days in any year are completely wind less. Of course, there are sel dom any two periods when the same wind force is present. It may blow from a mile an hour to a hundred miles per hour, but the average will be about 10 to 15 miles per hour for the year. Here is a great deal of power going to waste over our heads; cheap power that could do a tremendous amount of work. A power that never tires, and for which there is no charge. It would be silly to believe that wind-power alone would run a factory, but it would be a willing helper, and as one half of an "electric-wind" team would cut costs pretty severely. By storing the power generated during the night, when the shops are closed, enough power would be stored to last at least part of the following day. Wind Everywhere There are no windless areas on the face of the globe. Everywhere winds of varying force are moving across the earth. The manufacture of windmills is cheap; less than one-fiftieth that of machines necessary to convert a river bed into a power plant. And rivers of sufficient strength that can generate ample pow er are becoming scarce. We are going to need some other source, aside from atomic en ergy, to furnish our increasing demand for more power. Now, before you make up your mind that I am talking through my hat, let me hasten to report that perhaps this idea isn't so wild or silly as it seems. No lesser agency that the United Nations has a pro posed program of power de velopment by means of wind machines, on its agenda for the immediate future. The program calls for wind-power to be used as a willing half of a team, much as fuel or water power. It would be ironic indeed if this modern world would some day erect glorified wind mills to help turn the wheels of industry. Sometimes basic and fundamental truths are the surest means to a definite end. - 1462 em ok, 3 For Peope TL . . m in Luau onus ysvurw One Week Remain at Ashland - One week re mains before the 1962 Shake spearean festival closes its doors for the season.
