Kennedy Calls for
Steps To Combat
Pollution of Air
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD. OREGON
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1963
I Washington -0JPD- President
Kennedy has called tor a
- broad federal program to com
7 bat air pollution in light of
T recent scientific reports link
ing it to heart problems and
-to increased susceptibility to
1 respiratory diseases.
. The President did this in
.the special message he sent
.Congress Feb. 7 on "improv
1 Ing American health." Fea
tures of the program, sub
" merged in the many other as-
pects of the health message,
; included:
-Proposed legisla t i o n to
.' authorize the Public Health
. Service "to engage in a more
- Intensive research pro gram
'. permitting full investigation
of the causes, effects and con
trol of air pollution."
. Stimulation To Statu
-Federal "financial stimula-
tion to states and local air pol
lution control agencies
through project grants which
will help them to initiate or
I improve their control pro-
gram."
-A proposed bill for the
" Public Health Service "to con
. duct studies of air pollution
- problems of interstate or na
" tion-wide significance."
-Authorization for the serv
ice "to take action to abate
" interstate air pollution, along
the general lines of the exist
ing water pollution control
enforcement measures."
The President told Congress
that leading scientists in the
past year have stressed in re
ports "that there is over
whelming evidence linking air
pollution to the aggravation
of heart conditions and to in
creases in susceptibility to
chronic respiratory diseases,
particularly among older peo
ple.
Annual Damagt
"Economic damage from air
pollution amounts to as much
as $11 billion every year in
the United States," Kennedy
said.
He said the farm losses
alone totaled $500 million a
year, with crops becoming
stunted or destroyed, live
stock becoming ill, and meat
and milk production being re
duced. "In some 6,000 communis
ties various amounts of
smoke, smog, grime or fumes
reduce property values and -as
dramatically shown in Eng
land last year - endanger life
itself," the President asserted.
"We are currently spend
ing 10 cents per capita a year
in fighting a problem which
costs an estimated $65 per
capita annually in economic
losses alone," the President
said.

This Week's Plan for Home Builders
By HIAWATHA ESTES ,
Contemporary home extra
ordinary! And, as impressive
as the exterior may appeal to
you, it doesn't even hint at
the intriguing scheme con
ceived for the interior. Not
until you step into the entry
does this new design reveal
itself with full impact.
As an example of good cir
culation planning, the house
is a standout. Foot traffic is
directed to all parts of the
house from the front entry.
The quiet and formal living
room is just off the entry.
A wide picture window of
fers a view to the street while
cross ventilation is provided
by a shoulder high window
at the end wall. This high
window will not interfere
with furniture arrangement.
No divider has been used be
tween the living room and
dining ell so that one room
flows into the other and both
areas appear more spacious.
Next to the rear entrance
is a half-bath an especially
thoughtful provision for chil
dren playing in t h e yard.
More important, it eliminates
the necessity for them having
to constantly track through
the house to the family bath.
The kitchen is a complete
step-saving work center in
which you will feel like a
queen. Note the wide pantry
next to the built-in oven. An
eating bar over ten feet
long plus other cabinets
are the only separation be
tween the kitchen and family
room. The open planning of
these two rooms makes this
a multi-purpose area of great
flexibility.
Sliding glass doors along
the wall next to the patio
make friends with the out-of-
doors. A partial wall sepa
rates the family room and the
hall. This open planning plus
the glass wall greatly expands
this room visually.
This plan should appeal to
those people who always need
more storage space. There are
26 feet of wardrobe, all with
storage drawers below. Four
closets open onto the hall
while a broom closet is in the
service. The door of the over
sized garage has been offset
to provide a storage wall,
and there is a 70 square foot
storage shelf at the rear of
the garage.
Here is bathroom splendor
within your reach. It has both
a tub and shower, a recessed
water closet and two pullman
lavatories, separated by a lin
en closet.
Valley Bankers
Hear Discussion
01 Automation
'Bank automation, what is
being done today, and what
the future holds for bank
automation," were subjects
presented at a seminar' by
the Rogue Valley chapter,
American Institute of Bank
ing, Wednesday evening at
Hedrick Junior High school.
Lowell Brisbin, manager of
the methods department of
the U.S. National Bank In
Portland, and Ben Imper, as
sistant manager of the Elec
tronic Data Processing depart
ment of the First National
Bank of Oregon in Portland,
were moderators.
They spoke to a group of
about 70 Rogue valley bank
officers and employees and
explained the history of bank
automation. Models of the
e 1 e c tronic computers and
equipment and slides were
shown.
Some of the equipment, be
sides being used at the com
puter centers in Portland is
being installed in branches
near Portland.
Computer Process
By this electronic computer
process, a check with the new
coded symbol can be sorted by
a macnine wnicn reacts tne
bank and town to which the
check should go, the account
number of the customer and
the amount in dollars and
cents and makes a record of
the entire transaction, at the
rate of 600 items a minute.
The use of automation in
banking will mean better
service to the customer with
faster, neater and more highly
accurate records, and will en
able banks to offer more serv
ice at a lower cost, they point
ed out.
Gilbert Stuart, president of
the chapter in Medford, an
nounced a seminar will be
held on "The New Federal
Reserve System" in March,
and "Fraud, Embezzlement
and Robbery" in April.
