SUNDAY, JULY 2B. 19(3 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Oompanies Sponsor Studly of Nuclear Power Plant Portland - Pacific Powe.' and Light company and nine other western utility compa nies Saturday announced co sponsorship of a two-year study program directed to the technological problems and economics of utiliting a 250,-000-kilowatt capacity nuclear, powered generating plant on a typical , electric company system. . In describing the study pro gram, D. R. McClung, PP&L nrpairlent. aid the lnvestiaa ture when nuclear-fired steam oil fuels are of higher cost and the company will study A prototype of the G-A gas- Colorado. He said the Colo steam - electric operation in Wyoming and its hydroelec tric operations in Washington, Oregon and northern Califor nia. The other utilities partici pating in the program include: Arizona Public Service, Iowa Public Service, Portland Gen eral Electric, Public Service of New Mexico, Pugct Sound tions are another torwara step In the company's continued in terest in the advancements being made in civilian nu clear technology. The PP&L executive said the utility group had organ ized as Advanced Reactor De velopment Associates (ARDA). Will Help Industry "The ARDA study program will help our industry be pre pared for the time in the fu generating plants might be come competitive with mo dern and efficient coal or oil- cooled reactor is now under construction. When it is com pleted next year it will be the world's first nuclear reactor to produce steam under high pressure, high - temperature conditions comparable to steam produced in modern oil or coal-fired power plants. McClung said the new study program will be based on the assumption that a 250,000 kilowatl nuclear plant was to be operated on the system of Public Service Company of rado utility, which serves a state adjacent to PP&L's Wyoming system, is generally typical of the participating western companies. "We are concentrating on the design and operating char acteristics and the economic potential of a nuclear plant for the future,'' he added. The information from the technical and economic stud ies will be available to Pa cific Power in making system power supply comparisons with the Pacific Power's the possibility that nuclear lired plants may be more eco nomic when large steam plants are needed to back up the low - cost hydroelec trie based systems. The PP&L official said the ARDA study program will be co-sponsored in assoc i a t i o n with General Atomic Corpora lion, the firm that developed an advanced -type gas-cooled nuclear reactor which PP&L and 10 other utilities are backing.

O. McKINNEY Mail Tribune Correspondent Haystack Mountain beside Highway 97 about seven miles north of Weed, Calif., shows its oddity both in its shape, and In its coloring. . While the surrounding for mations are irregular in the extreme, as is so often the case with lava, the coloring PET TALK By M. . L. HOW YOU CAN HELP Whether or not the crime and follv of cruetly to labora tory animals Is to be ended rienends entirely upon what members of Congress hear from the public. In Oregon, you can help by writing to Sen. Wayne Morse, Sen. Mau rlne Neuberger and Rep. Rob ert Duncan, to President John r. Kennedy and to Rep. Ken neth Roberts who is chairman of the House committee to which this legislation has been referred. Ask all of them to support Randall Bill H. R. 4836. This bill has been approved by the majority of humani tarians as being the most ef fective, and would rapidly Improve the quality of medi cal research and would save huge sums for taxpayers, be sides preventing cruelty. For details on the treat ment of laboratory animals read, "Is Science Cruel to An imals' in the current Issue of the Saturday Evening Post. Truth is often painful, yet we must not shrink from it; for only by the honest appraisal of facts can we equip our selves to fight cruelty whore ever It Is found and in what ever caoacity. Only an en lightened public can be ex nectcd to oppose the almost unbelievable atrocities that continue unabated in this modern day. Why Be Lonely? There are many lonely peo ple In the world. This does not necessarily apply to Isolated members of society In the midst of plenty (of humans) loneliness may still exist. But generally the hard est to bear is the Isolation endured by those who through death or maladjustment have been thrown on their own re sources to use time as best they can. It Is amazing the number of people who spend their lives without companionship of any kind. Often this is un avoidable. Accommodation re strictions frequently prevent the keeping of pet. This is tragic, for many a kind heart ; beat and possession- of some aort of animal would be bene ficial to owner and pet. There are, of course, people who, while not unkind to an imals, have never been deep ly Interested. Perhaps the ac quisition of a dog or cat would open up a new vista. An ani mal which is cared for as an Intelligent being ran give so much in the way of friendship and sympathy. It questions not, does not backbite, and. Its faithfulness and devotion can too shows the yellow moun tain is "different." Its shape is that of a pile of hay built to shed rain, its coloring is that of grass ripening in the sun, a striking contrast to lava. The yellow metamoiphic rock of Haystack Mountain contained gold in sufficient quantities to make mining profitable until spirallng labor and material cosui became too much for a governmental pegged gold price to show profit. No one ever finds gold in lava, and lava covers all lands that lies for miles across the land surrounding Hay Btack Mountain. Today this unusual moun tain beside Highway 97 with in a mile of the roadway Cottage Grove Man Waits Sentencing Lewlston, Idaho - IUPD - Jude C. Kaus, 29, Cottage Grove, Ore., awaited sentenc ing Friday after pleading guil ty to charges of attempted armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. Kaus entered the guilty pleas Thursday before 10th district Judge John Cramer. He was foiled in a holdup at tempt at a nightclub near Lewlston last Sunday morn ing when a musician, Max Durham, tried to take Kaus' 22 caliber pistol from him. Durham was shot In the chest in an ensuing tussle but is recovering from the wound. where thousands of tourists pass every day seeking inter esting sights is scarcely no ticed. One enterprising owner once tried to make Haystack Mountain a rendezvous for bighorn sheep when some Mouflon sheep from Corsica were given him. He thought they might adapt themselves to Haystack Mountain and nearby Shceprock. That ef fort failed. Today a remnant of the original band may he found near Dwinnell Lake on another mountain. A ' band of bighorn sheep there might slow down eager sightseers, but a mountain that contains plenty of gold In a region where untold mil lions of dollars of gold Jiave been burned out of the coun try surrounding it is never given a thought. . Neither are these the only oddities in the region through which Highway 97 runs. Whit ney Creek across which this road runs is dry throughout most of the year, and always when other streams are flood ed. But when most streams are dry, when the heat of a stifling summer lies over the land, Whitney Creek becomes a roaring flood. Another attraction seldom seen is Wind Cave a short dis tance from Haystack Moun tain. A current of chill air comes from the entrance to this cavern. Another cave not many miles distant has a room temperature where fresh meat is kept throughout the summer. MUTUAL FUNDS? INVESTORS MUTUAL. INC. INVESTORS STOCK FUND, INC.
