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.

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.
