Site 220 NORTH BARTLETT next to Greyhound - Phone 773-4394 USE OUR CONVENIENT PARKING IOT Mining Claims in National Forest To Be Examined by FS A Held survey and exami nation of mining claims is un der way in the Elk creek Fredenburg butte, and Star gulch areas of the Rogue Riv er National forest, Supervisor C. E. Brown has announced. The examination by the for est service is the first step in the procedure authorized by the Multiple Use Mining Law of July 23, 1955. , The pu.pose of the exami nation is to locate claims with in the area which were in possession of, or worked by, the claimant before -he dale of the law, and to determine whether a claim to surface rights on such claims is valid and effective. Brown explained that the determination of surface rights on old claims in the areas being examined will in no way interfere with the claimant's rights to prospect, mine and develop minerals, use Hie surface and timber on a claim for mining pur poses, or to patent his claim in accordance with the law. Favor Development After a claim is patented. both surface and mineral re sources become the property of the claim owner. The de partment of agriculture has always favored the develop ment of the mineral resources of the national forests and will continue to cooperate with legitimate miners. Formal public notice re garding the determination of surface rights on mining claims in the areas will ap pear in local newspapers for nine consecutive weeks. In addition, a copy of such no tice will be delivered to per sons whose names and ad dresses are determined as pro vided in the law. The owner of a mining claim located prior to July 23, 1905, will Classrooms Used At Full Standard Eugene Space utilization studies recently completed at the University of Oregon show that in the 1962 fall term classrooms were being used to the full standard of 30 hours of use per week estbalished by the state board of higher education, Univer sity President Arthur S. Flem ming has reported. This is an increase in class room use from 28.7 hours per week in the fall term of 1961 and 26.6 hours per week in the fall term of 1960. The report also showed the university use of laboratories has grown from 17 hours per week in 1960 and 17.7 hours ! per week in 1961 to 18.6 hours per week in 1962, or 93 per cent of the board's objec tive of 20 hours per week.

Has Two Options A claimant has two options under the law. He may -nore the notices, thereby waiving rights to the surface until the claim goes to patent yet main taining his original mining rights. The claimant may file a verified statement asserting his rights to the surface. In that case his claim will be examined by mineral exam iners. Brown explained. Claims of questionable va lidity will be considered be fore a hearing officer of the bureau of land management, department of the interior, who will make the final deci sion, Both the claimant and the forest service will present their testimony at the hear ing. Whatever the decision, the claimant will retain his min eral rights. If the decision is in the claimant's favor, he also retains all surface rights. Maps of the areas now be ing examined, and copies of the Multiple Use Mining Law of July 23. 1955, and of the procedure for the determina tion of surface right- set up by law are available for in sneclion at the forest super visor's office, room 315, post office building, Mcdford. Blast of Cold Air Moves Over Plains By United Press International A blast of cold air moved across the Northern Plains to day, dropping temperatures from Minnesota to Montana. The rest of the nation contin ued to enjoy mild spring-like weather. Colid wave warnings were issued for Montana, with bit ter temperatures expected to extend to Minnesota by to nigh. The mercury is expected to fall to 20 degrees below zero through Montana and the Dakotas tonight. Warm weather blanketed the nation east of the Missis sippi river while clear skies kept the temperatures across the Southwest in the 50s and 60s. Beverly Hills. Calif., had an 80 - degree reading Tuesday, highest reported in the na tion. Sprinkles swept the Pacific Northwest but the tempera tures stayed in the 30-40 de gree range. Minuteman Missile Problems Flare Up At Cape Canaveral Penguin Death ToI At Portland Now 24 Portland -IUPH- Two more penguins died at the Portland Zoo Tuesday, bringing the toll to 24 since zoo director Jack Marks returned from Antarc tica with the birds last month. Marks said autopsies and laboratory tests performed on 13 of the dead birds by Dr. J. G. Kilian of Oregon State University showed staphylo coccus infection to be the prin cipal cause of death. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Beginning this week, it costs five cents to mail the let ter we formerly mailed for four cents. It costs four cents to mail the card we formerly mailed for three cents. It costs eight cents for the air mail let ter that formerly went for sev en cents. In other words, anything postmarked after midnight Sunday must carry a penny more than before on first class and air mail letters and post cards. BUT You will sav That's only a PENNY more than before. What, in these modern days, does a penny amount to? partment, reduce our taxes? It seems reasonable that it should. But it is quite prob able that it WON'T. One sus pects that our government will just SPEND MORE. WAIT a minute. An up of a penny on the letter you formerly mailed for four cents is an increase of 25 PER CENT. An up of a penny on the card you formerly mailed for three cents is an increase of thirty-three and a third per cent. Incidentally, an increase of a penny in the air mail letter you formerly mailed for seven cents is an increase of only 14 per cent. Which is to say: These new rates, small as they are on the individual unit, are expected to add $459 million annually to post office revenues. A small increase on a HUGE volume of business runs into quite a little money. QUESTION: Will this increase of $459 million in postal revenue (just under HALF A BILLION dol lars in total), by reducing the deficit in the post office de- ANOTHER question: Are thosb new postal rates HIGHER than similar postal rates ever were before? By no means. Listen to this: In 1789, when the first rales were fixed, it cost six cents to send a letter UP TO 30 MILES, and the price went up for longer distances to a mini mum of 25 cents for more than 450 miles. If that rale had remained in force until the present day, it would cost us two bits to send an ordin ary letter to San Francisco. BUT You ain't heard notlun yet. When the famous Pony Ex press which earned a let ter from St. Joseph, Mo., to Sacramento, Cal., in nine days went into service it cost FIVE DOLLARS to send a half-ounce letter. This admittedly stiff post age rate continued until the first transcontinental t e 1 c -graph became operative, re ducing the delivery time of a message from nine days to al-1 most no time at all if you hap pened to be at the point where the telegram could be deliver-' ed to you. j This competition promptly i became to keen that in order to meet it the postal rate was dropped to a dollar for a half ounce. That's what competi tion does. Cape Canaveral-OTi - The new year has brought some old problems back to Cape Canaveral. One is the Minute man missile's late-blooming inability to hit targets. Minuteman is the "Instant ICBM" that the United States declared war-ready last Dec. 11. Thus there is some concern that of Minuteman last four shots only one has been suc cessful. The latest mishap came Monday, it was the first roc ket shot of 19K3 from this sprawling misslic testing cen ter. The 54-foot rocket was blasted from the bottom of an 85-foot launching silo and aimed at a target more than 5.000 miles away. It missed. Reluctant To Talk The Air Force, which talks at length about succsses, managed to sum up the entire proceedings in two sentences which said little more than that the missile "fell short of its intended range." Other sources gave more in formation. The Minuteman. after a sparkling start, ran into upperslage troubles. The net result was that the rocket quit working too soon. Just why could not be determined immediately. Minute-man's problems, al though hardly of the magni tude of those in the Air Force's late Skyboll program, have reached the serious stage. One of the missiles blew up in a shot from Van denberg Air Force P.asc. Calif., Dec. 10 and another fell short of its intended target in a test from Cape Canaveral Dec. 20. The only success in that period was a rippling 5,000 milc shot Dec. 14. That was a test of an improved "Wing-2" Minuteman. The shot Monday also involved one of the un dated models which, among other things, has a peppier second stage and a modified guidance computer system. Second in Months This is the second siege of troubles lo hit the Minuteman program in four months. Fol lowing two blow-ups the roc ket was grounded for a spell last October until the prob lems-found to be m the guid a n c c computer- could be solved. Minuteman is a three-stage solid-fueled rocket which the nation is counting on as the bulwark of its ICBM force. The Air Force will install nearly 1,000 of them buried launching sites throughout the United States during the next three years. The first 20 already arc on station with nuclear warheads at Malstrom Air Force Base near Great Falls, Mon. Theo retically, all 20 could be launched on just 32 seconds' notice. Missile experts eventually hope to cut this "reaction time" in half, to 15 seconds. Liquid-fueled ICBMs such the Atlas and Titan l require at least 15 minutes' warning to gel off the gruund. DIES AFTER SHOCK Boston -HPli- The shock of seeing his wife scalded by an overturned kettle of hot wa ter proved too much for Ri cardo Savino. 47, of East Bos ton. He collapsed and died Tuesday while telephoning for a doctor. to aid his stricken wife, who was hospitalized with first and second degree burns of the leg.

Disposalism West Developing New Economic Theory in Basement Workshop By DICK WEST Washington - WPIl - During the recent holidays, I did a lot of work on a new eco nomic theory that I have been putting together down in my base ment work shop. The theory lam working on is called "dis posalism." All of the pieces Hut aren't in place yet, but I think it will be truly cataclysmic. It is founded on the prem ise that mankind's basic eco nomic motivation is in the process of reversing itself. Up to now, our chief interest and concern has been in acquiring things. Right? Well, it is my theory that from now on the emphasis will shift to getting rid of things. In some areas, the change al- ready has occurred. To cita on familiar ax ample, the government has accumulated vast amounts of turplui farm products but hat never satisfactorily solved the problem of how to ditpoie of them. To cite another, the disposal of radioactive waste materials has become a major problem in the development of atomic energy. "Disposal ism'' also has trickled down to the average American household-at least, it hs to mine. There have i bet, limes when we have 1 been without heat or lights and gotten along very well. But let the garbage disposal unit go on the blink or the trash collector be a day late and panic sets in. The significance of "dis posalism" was particularly impressed upon me at Christ mas. We were virtually inun dated by our own trash. In fact, I accidentally threw my son in the box his wagon came in. Using approximate fig ures, 1 calculated that the value of the gifts exchanged among and received by memben of my family was outweighed by the trouble it took to get rid of wrap ping paper that encased them. The theory of "disposalism" can be used to explain why a number of magazines are los ing circulation. Tilings have reached the point where the reading pleasure they provide is cancelled out by the tuk of disposing of the back is sues. This, of course, Is not true of old newspapers, which can still be used for wrapping fish. Eventually, I hope to show how the theory of "disposal ism" can be applied to our entire society, but I may never get it finished. I am kept too busy carrying out the trash. NEW AMBULANCE SERVICE C.
