(UPD Junior High School Name Change Voted By School Board Grants Pass-The Josephine County Unit school board voted this week to change the name ot Monument Junior High school to Fleming Junior High . in honor of the late County School Superintendent Elmer W.

WATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate, .) Cows Now Have Cause To Worry About Hide Market Seems like, just when cne branch of our economy gets firmly on its feet with its head in the clouds and is making money hand over fist, along comes an imitation, or an im provement, on what may have been a good product in the first place. Whammo, the new material or product comes out and knocks the props out from under one that was doing al right. : Maybe this is the way of progress, but when it happens, somebody else gets hurt. The industry now threatened is one that has to do with the hides of cattle, from which leather is made. Man has found many uses for the hide of the cow, one of the most important of which is in the manufacture of shoes. And, for a very import ant reason, leather is porous to some considerable extent. It is actually perforated with thousands of tiny pores, or holes, which allow the feet THfATRI INFORMATION PHONE 773-7323 METRO - GOUJWYH MAYER . JOE PASTERMK POOtY I..HOM i DORIS . SlimbN . .JIMMY .

Attempts to make a substi tute for the uppers of shoes have resulted in failure; plas tic materials have pivved too warm, and therefore uncom fortable. Leather Needed The soles of shoes can be made ot synthetic materials, but the uppers needed leather. So leather has been a multi million dollar a year indus try, and nearly 90 per cent of the 700 million dollars worth of leather went Into the manu facture of shoes, especially the uppers. Over the past few years. many materials have been tried that were hoped to be suitable, but most proved to be unsatisfactory due to the lack of breathing pores-a nat ural part of leather. But the boys with the test tubes, the drawing boards and the active imaginations kept on looking, experimenting and trying out various synthetics. It was a challenge. They had lready perfected materials that could be made into cloth ing, and a host of other arti cles, so why not a material that could "breathe" as well leather? Search Continued The search went on for years. In the meantime, back at the ranch, or in the pasture and the barnyard, the cattle, source of hundreds ot millions of dollars worth of leather, kept on eating, giving milk, yielding meat and munching grass, with never a worried look on a single bovine face. And all the time, the cattle were being held together with cowhide, the same material, that, after processing, went into the manufacture ot the uppers for shoes. If the cattle had any thou glit in the matter at all, they gave no sign. They prob ably figured their position in the economy of the hide bus iness was secure. Right up to the present It was, but now things are beginning to look a little dubious for the hide bus iness. At last, it seems the busy bovs in the lab have come up with something ana most oi the results, so far, have been highly encouraging. They've developed a plastic material, a synthetic that la literally peppered with thousands ot microscopic holes through which human feet can breathe," and as comfortably TONIGHT TWO COMPLETE SHOWS 7:00 AND 9:25 I ITS TRUTH S-,- YOU WILL T ""DERSTAND, After lovin' 1 1 O ft JUD liked ! ! !6m3' fightin best 1 1 v)" j afterlight.!' fUf I r ' HUD liked Vf smi-- lovin'bestl - tJf5 HI .
