6 A THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 13. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Study of Oregon Earthquakes Shows Some Interesting Items have the "give" of wooden buildings and are more easily damaged by an earthquake; Berg commented. r Basin areas commonly have) sizeable faults that can perit odically produce earth shift; and shocks, he said. Feeding the Family Corvallli - A study of Ore seph W. Berg Jr. dreds of shocks in California Dr. Beorge and Charles D OSU has had a seismograph tensity shocks will produce great damage (as in Iran). The recent tremor at Lebanon was about a 4 intensity - felt very briefly with no damage. The sensitive seimograph instruments will record a 1 intensity quiver but it won't be felt by humans. Magnitude is related to the energy of the earthquake and has no upper limit except that imposed by the earth. It is a scientific measurement of how much strain the earth can take before it breaks. This will vary from region to re gion, depending on earth crust and lower layers. Brick structures, unless they are reinforced, do not gon earthquakes made by the No particular region of the state appears to be much more free from earthquakes than another, although the bulk of earthquakes noted in the 117 year study period were in the populated areas. This likely stems from the fact, however, that there were simply more people around to feel and re port tremors, many of which would go unnoticed in thinly populated sections. Earthquakes At Sea The earthquakes at sea were out about 100 miles from the Oregon Coast, on the average, along a probable ex tension of the San Andreas fault that has produced hun over the years. Earthquake reporting in Oregon was incomplete be fore the turn of the century, it was noted. In fact, only 30 earthquakes were reported between 1841 and 1900 and 210 between 1900 and 1958. The OSU scientists stressed that violent shocks "can hap pen here" even though the majority of the earthquakes up to now have been of the mild, dish-rattling kind. Cal ifornia and Washington have had giant earthquakes and there have been some tremen dous upheavals along the ocean floor of the general area, Berg pointed out. Baker, research assistant, did the literature study on earth quakes in preparation for ex tensive OSU long-range basic research on seismic waves, earthquakes, and the earth's crust across Oregon and un der the ocean off the Oregon Coast. Last month, OSU became part of a world wide network of seismographic stations that will be providing the most de tailed information ever on earthquakes around the globe. New and highly-precise seis mographic equipment valued at more than $20,000 was awarded OSU for use in the work. station - only one in the state -for more than 10 years but the new equipment is marked ly better than previous instru ments. The new OSU studies will provide much new informa tion on the earth's crust and seismic activity in and off the state. Berg stressed the difference between "intensity" scale readings and "magnitude" in measuring the size of earth quakes. Intensity scale readings go to 12, which represents com plete damage. An intensity of 4 rattles dishes; 6 breaks weak masonry; 10 to 12 in By ZOLA VINCENT, Food Iditor Oregon State University de partment of oceanography for the period 1841 through 1958, reveals some interesting items, department officials have announced. A total of 167 earthquakes were reported in newspapers or Journals "on land" in Ore gon during that period and 73 at sea off Oregon. Only 14 of these earth quakes were sizeable jolts that registered greater than S on the 12-point , intensity measurement scale. This does not mean, however, that Ore gon is "immune" from violent shocks, according to Dr. Jo- THE DANMOORE HOTEL 1217 SW. Merriien St. : PORTLAND, OREGON : All transient suetts.

Prune plums too are briefly avail able fresh but 84 per cent of all those deep purple prune plum beauties are going to be dried and packaged and there by made available the year 'round. Our Pacific slopes grow H8 per cent of all commercially grown pears and far and away the majority of prune plums to please consumers throughout the world through out the year. Peareminders We love words like that. Funning two words together "pear and reminder" Is a coined word obviously design ed to attract attention. Fresh pears are eaten mostly out of hand no matter what we say. They also are enjoyed In salads; are good stewed, baked, fried, pickled, glazed; are used in Jellies, Jams, mar malades and baked goods; are canned in great quantities and some are dried. Fresh pears make a delight ful addition to Waldorf salad by simply replacing half of the diced apples with diced fresh pears and adding the usual amounts of diced celery and chopped walnuts. Try the French custom ot serving a plump pear with a wedge of fragrant cheese as dessert. Serve pears cool but not Icy. When they are too cold, they lack some of their bou quet, are not as refreshing as when cool. Bartletts Burgundy Unusual Salad Treat California wines have long served many purposes, have been contributing their Illu sive flavor and fragrance to wine vinegars for decades. Gourmets long have been blending wine and wine vine gar with salad dressing to heighten flavor. In recent weeks, a burgundy dressing has appeared In markets blending a full-bodied Cali fornia burgundy wine with wine vinegar, oil. tarragon and other spices. We used it in this pear and stuffed prune salad for which it seemed to have a special affinity. For each four servings: 4 ripe Bartlctt pears. quartered and cored 18 whole, plumped prunes, pitted 2 '3 cup Burgundy dressing 3-ounce package cream cheese i cup slivered almonds Salad greens Pour dressing over pears and prunes; marinate two to three hours in refrigerator. When ready to serve, cut cream cheese into 16 cubes or wcdc.es and fill prune centers; arrange stuffed prunes on pear quarters on individual plates underlined with any favored greens. Sprinkle with slivered almonds. Serve addi tional salnd dressing on side for burgundy dressing en thusiasts.
