MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON
WEDNESDAY. MAY 22. 1963
Annexation Plan in
Ashland Referred to
City Planning Group
Ashland-Petitioners for and
gainst the controversial Bell
view area 3 annexation
crowded the council cham
bers here last night.
Petitions requesting that
the area - located south of
ashland - be annexed to the
city were presented. At the
same time. City Recorder W.
E. Bartelt reported receipt of
letters from five individual
property owners who had
signed the pro-annexation pe
tition requesting that their
names be withdrawn.
City Attorney Harry Sker
ry ruled that signers of a
petition have the legal right
to withdraw their names pri
or to a public hearing. Last
night's meeting was not a
public hearing.
Harry Hawk, representing
the annexation group, said
that more than the required
two-thirds of the property
owners in the area want to
be annexed.
Referred to Commission
The matter was referred to
the city planning commis-
sion, which next meets June
10.
"There has been much er
roneous thinking," Mayor
Richard Neill declared, speak,
ing on the annexation con.
troversy. "The city has noth.
ing to gain by annexation in
the immediate future. In fact
it would cost the city money."
To this statement, Milton
Hamilton, representing the
Anti - Annexation committee,
replied, "The city has approv
ed the Oak Knoll develop
ment with its proposed 300
residences as an economic as
set. Are 247 already here not
equally important'
Hamilton was referring to
the fact that the Ashland city
council granted city water
and sewer services to the pro.
posed Oak Knoll develop.

ment, which is outside the
city limits, making an excep
tion to its policy of refusing
such services to fringe area
residents unless they annex
to the city first.
Of Significant Value
The exception was made
because the Oak Knoll devel

nificant economic asset to the
community.
Other Bellview area res!

water service because they
are outside of the city limits.

for a new post office building.
The lease on the present
post office expires next February.
New Navy Steel
May Have Use
For Civilians
Washington - (DPI) - A Navy
project aimed at developing
a submarine twice as tough as
any now at sea promises some
side benefits for motorists,
farmers, builders and miners.
The key to the project is
the latest in a series of new,
high-tensile steels. Tagged HY
150 by the Navy, the new
steel has been produced so
far only in laboratories. An
alloy of the nickel-chromium-malybdenum
type, Navy en
gineers are aiming at using it
for submarine hulls that can
withstand stresses of 150,000
pounds per square inch. Subs
currently built with HY 80
steel can take stresses of 80,
000 pounds per square inch.
Thomas J. Griffin, chief
metals engineer of the Navy's
Bureau of Ships, said the new
steel could have great bene
fits in civilian applications.
"If successfully developed,
HY 150 could dominate areas
where high strength and light
materials are essential, he
said.
The most obvious civilian
applications, he said, could be
in further reducing the weight
of steam shovels, earth mov
ers, mining equipment, farm
machinery, bridges - and
even, perhaps, automobiles.
R. C. Bassett, technical in
formation officer, Bureau of
Ships, said:
"We would expect undersea
craft built with this new ma
terial to stand up better to
explosive charges and to run
ins with icebergs because they
would have better resistance
to impact and shock." He cau
tioned that the project was
still a long way from the ship
building stage. So far, he
said, no practical method has
been found to weld or join the
steel plates in the shipyards.
Griffin said civilian appli
cations "invariably follow"
developments of better ma
terials for military projects.
Some soaring structural
bridges were made possible
by steels developed original
ly for military applications,
he said.

By ALINE MOSBY
Paris-tUPIt-Tlie French capi
tal has launched an all-out,
no-feathers-barrcd drive to
make Paris
p I g e o nles9.
Before "Oper
ation Pigeon"
began a few
months ago,
Paris pigeon
p o p u 1 ation
f 1 u ttcred be
tween 60,000
and 80,000.
Now it's been
halved, and Pierre Roger, a
prefecture (police) official in
charge of the campaign, esti
mates Paris should be com
pletely de-pigeonized by 1964.
Operation Pigeon, explain
ed Roger in an interview, is
fourfold.
First of all, a law effective
Jan. 1 made it illegal to toss
food to the birds that swarm
around the Opera, Notre
Dame cathedral and other
roosting spots of Paris.
Secondly, for pigeons who
need further persuasion to
seek their living in the coun
try, Roger has opened a mam
moth pigeon forced re-settlement
program.
Each Tuesday and Saturday
morning, crews of pigeon
caichcrs slip out at dawn be
fore bird lovers are about.
They set up a five-foot high
stand with long arms like a
windmill lying sideways. Un
derneath they scatter grain.
Ensnare Birds
- While the birds peck at
breakfast, a net flics out of
the contraption, the ensnared
birds are popped into cages
and whisked in trucks 124
miles from Paris to the vil
lage of Gouy-en-Artois.
There the city of Paris has
builv three huge wooden avi
an, where the emigre pigeons
are fed and housed for several
days. They then arc released
from the "refugee camps" to
live as wild birds in the coun
try. The third action of the
pigeon blitz Is the systematic
dcsiruction of all pigeon eggs
found in bciltowcrs and at
tics of public buildings,
The fourth, and perhaps
mort difficult, task Is to brain
wash the public into believing
that "Operation Pigeon" not
only means a cleaner, healthi
er Paris but also a better life
for the pigeons.
The last-named job occu
pies much of Roger's time in
his office filled with anti
pigeon posters, pigeon statis
tics, research documents and
a somewhat desperate air.
Propaganda
"We arc starting propagan
da on radio and television"
he said. "I explain that pi
geons arc captured carefully
and taken to the country, that
they are not killed. The So
ciety for the Protection of
Animals agreed with us on
this action.
"Now imagine you arc a pi
geon in Paris. Crowded, push
ed around, hungry, sick. You
know. 60 per cent of the Paris
pigeons are sick. Malnutrition.
"In the country the pigeon
is content. He has a family
and food. Our experience
shows that if they remain
certain period In these coun
try aviaries, they are lost,
they cannot find their way
back to Paris."
Three years ago Paris tried
another plot of feeding doped
grain to pigeons so they could
be caught while asleep and
shipped to the country. Many
of the pigeons, however, never
woke up, evoking the wrath
of pigeon lovers.
"Also the drug gave the
birds muscular contractions
and people complained they
were In agony," he said. "The
same persons are not shocked
to poison rats who die slowly
or to cut off the head of a
chicken."
He sighed. "I am neither
pro nor anti-pigeon. I was
told to solve a problem and
I have.
Old
Used for Tour
Across Country
Atlanta -UPI1- Sturgis Bates
and his wife are among the
growing number of Americans
who are determined to turn
back some of this Jet speed
modern living.
Bates, whose father was
once a railroad president, in.
herited a love for trains at
an early age and therefore can
be excused for perking up one
day when he read In a maga
zine about a fellow In Chica
go who had bought himself a
Pullman car.
The thing that Interested
Bates about this particular car
was that its owner, Maury H
Klebolt, a Chicago business'
man, planned to fill it up with
railroad enthusiasts and take
them around tha country,
"Now wouldn't that be
nice," Bates mused to his wife,
"taking a train trip around the
country?
When he added "let's do
it," Mrs. Bates balked at first,
then reluctantly agreed to ac
company him to Chicago.
There they found an old
fashioned pullman car, ornate
ly painted the way they did
things at the turn of tne cen
tury,, and occupied by, 16
strangers . they had never
heard of before.
For the1 next two weeks
their car clickety-claoked
around the country, hooked to
the rear of first one train and
then another,
Format for the trip was to
pull into a town and spend
the day on a siding while the
occupants of the car toured
places of Interest. Then, late at
night, a train going someplace
else would hook on to their
pullman and off again
"Generally, the car (tops in
each large city," Bates said
"The passengers get off and go
their separate ways, shopping
or renting cars tor sigmseeing
You eat a leisurely dinner
and get back to the train about
11 o'clock at ' night. Next
morning you wake up in
different city."
In New Orleans, the Cham
ber of Commerce took the
train riders on a yacht ride,
and other cities plan special
receptions.
Us lust about spoiled, us
for any other means ot irav.
el," Bates said.
Highway Commission

poned to June 10, it was an
nounced today.
Many Space
Dollars Used
On the Ground
New York UPD Space Is a
funny thing. To get there,
about 40 cents of every dollar
spent has to pay for things
that aren't going anywhere at
all - ground support equip
ment like the $4 million gan
try for the United States' man
ned moon missile.
Some of the fascinating
hardware the taxpayers' dolt
lars are buying these days has
been tracked down by Steel
ways, official publication of
American Iron and Steel in
stitute: -Insulated steel tanks that
co, lid keep boiling coffee too
hot to drink for two years but
are actually used to store
liquid hydrogen - major rock
et fuel - at 423 degrees be
low zero.
-A multi-million dollar
space simulator for testing
vehicles in an atmosphere
about one-billionth of that
here on earth at sea level, yet
this is but a billionth the
vacuum that exists In actml
space!
-Miniaturized steel ball
bearings for Instrumentation
that arc so small it takes 32.
400 of them to make a pound
and that pound would cost
more than $162,000 though
the special steel the bearings
arc made of costs about $2 a
pound.
Little wonder that satellite
launching costs are currently
estimated to run $1,000 to $2.-
000 for each pound of payload
In a 300-mile orbit.
Stcclways says one of the
most incredible aspects of the
entire space effort is the nc
mand made on human perfec
tion: each of a rocket's com
ponent parts can have a re
liability rating of 09 9905 yet
when the thousands of com
ponents are Joined resultant
total reliability can be brought
down as low as 50 per cent.

offee Squeezed
From Tube Among
ackaging Ideas
New York - lUPtl - Coffee
squeezed out of a tube In
paste form is among the pack-
ging developments now on
the planning boards.
While the collapsible metal
tube is commonplace for such
items as toothpaste, the big
area for expaniion is in a va
riety of items other than den.
tnl aids and cosmetics, an in
dustry source said.
In England and on the Con
tinent, tubes are the conven
tional way of marketing many
items not familiar here
such containers, according to
the Collapsible Tube Manu
facturing council.
One of the advantages ot
the tube is that the metal
takes printing colors, pic
tures, text by lithography
and other methods very well
the council said. A tube pro
duced recently for mayon
naise used rich, dark colors
with vivid yellow splashes to
convey a visual impression of
the contents. t ,-
Test 'marketings of foods in
tubes have gone over very
well., according to manufac
turers and distributors who
have tried such containers:
Besides mayonnaise, ketch
up and even such items as
coffee in paste form are some
of the food items on which
planning is being pushed '
However, the manufactur
ers' group believes tne big
area for expansion is outside
foods, cosmetics and medicin
al preparations. '
Such products as court plas
ter in semi-liquid paste form
Is a commonplace in vending
machines In bowling alleys
Bowlers use it to make It pos
sible to grasp a ball more
firmly.
Among other products In
vending machines at the point
of sale are bug repellents,
skin protective cream, sun'
tan lotion, boot waterproofing
grease, gut grease, fish bait
a reel lubricant, a liniment
in paste form for the sports
man's back, an epoxy adhe
sive and a ski wax.
