12 C THURSDAY. JULY 18. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON OSU Study May Lead to Better Wood Utilization Corvallis - A study now under way by Oregon State university may lead to mote complete utilization and bet ter disposal of wood left-overs in the Medford lumber indus try. The study was requested by representatives of the indus try in Medford as a step to ward reducing air pollution. It will be conducted by the OSU Forest Research Labora tory and Engineering Exper iment Station. Lcif Espcnas, head of for est products in the Forest Re search Laboratory, and George Thornburgh, depart ment of mechanical engineer ing, and Martin Northcraft, department of civil engineer ing, visited Medford mills in June for talks with sawmill operators. One problem noted by OSU researchers is the location of the Medford area in a basin surrounded by hills. This leads to frequent atmospheric inversions which hold in the air pollutants. Other prob lems are the burning of mixed species in wood residue dis posal and a long distance to markets for mill left-overs. To Conduct Survey First step by Oregon State will be to conduct a survey this summer of the amount, types, and disposition of res idue materials developed by the forest industries in the Medford area. The Interna tional Paper company of Gar diner has made a preliminary survey of residue material available and this will be of use to OSU in its investiga tion. From this survey, OSU re searchers expect to point to additional uses for Medford mill left-overs and to areas where research should be in tensified. Because the best wood residues are sold as chips to the pulp and wood composition board industry, mills have had increasing dif ficulty in burning the remain ing sawmill residues. There is a need for a more efficient burning process and this has been under investigation by the Engineering Experiment Station. In 1958, a study was made by the Engineering Experi ment Station aimed at reduc ing the amount of unburncd materials from mill burners. Following the recommenda tions of OSU researchers, the Medford mills were able to reduce the unburned particle fallout. Medford mill operators have encouraged these continuing studies designed to reduce air pollution. They have agreed to make their plants avail able for further investiga tions and to financially assist the new study by Oregon State university. 4-H NEWS Nulty Nittan Needles The July meeting of the Nutty Nitten Needles 4-H club was held recently at the home of our leader, Mrs. Varncr.

By DICK WEST Washington - 1'Pli - It seems like only yesterday, or maybe last Tuesday, that kindly stat isticians were trying to help us understand a million dol lars. It was commonly supposed that a mililon dol lars was too large a sum for us to com- wm prehend a 1 1 by ourselves, so these statisti cians would undertake to ex plain it in terms we could grasp. I don't recall the exact di mensions of a million dollars, but the analogies they used went something like this: A million dollars laid end to end would reach from Hom iny Falls, W. Va., to Grit, Tex., or if placed one on top of the other would form a stack five miles higher than a giraffe on tiptoes. I'm sure lhey meant well. but, frankly, these compar isons were never of much., help to me in comprehend ing a million bucks. Whenever I tried to get a mental picture of dollar bills stretched out from Hominy Falls to Grit, my mind would take a wrong turn on the out skirts of Chili, Wis. Perhaps if they had used $5 bills, or had placed the dollar bills side by side rather than end to end, I could have grasped it. But I doubt it. At any rale, I have gone through life without having a very firm concept of a million dollars. And now I learn that I am hopelessly behind the limes. In a press release issued this week. Rep. Thomas M. ors to help us understand a billion dollars. Apparently someone raised the ante while I was trying to find my way back from Hom iny Falls. Pelly wrote that no one "is capable of conveying in ordinary, simple and under standable and graphic words usi how immense, how almost unmeasurably vast is a billion dollars." Nevertheless, this did not deter him from giving it a go As one illustration, Pclly noted that "with one billion dollars you could buy 500,000 new automobiles each costing $2,000." Maybe so, but you would need an awfully big garage. "Placed bumper to bumper these cars would extend 1,562 miles, about the distance from Cleveland, Ohio, to Salt Lake City, Utah," Pelly continued. On that point, at least, he speaks my language. I can readily visualize a traffic jam stretching from Ohio to Utah even if I can't envision a mil lion doilars end to end. "One billion dollars in dollar bills would cover a huildine lot that is 51 feet wide and 219 feet long - a lit tle more than a quarter acre -to a depth of 3 feet 1 inches," Pelly added. That might not be a bad idea. We could use it as a parking lot for some of those 500,000 cars. Nowasuntan lotion that keeps bugs away while you TAN!
