10 A WEDNESDAY. JULY 31, 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON .S. Air Force in Europe Stands Ready To Assist in Major Disasters By WELLINGTON LONG Wiesbaden, Gcrmany-OIPIi-Some Europeans call the U.S. Air Force in Europe (USAFE) "Samaritans with wings" be cause of the help it brings whenever disaster strikes in its area of operation. The people of Skopje, Yu goslavia, learned this week just how true that descrip tion is, as more than a score of other nations already know. USAFE'S main job in Eu rope is defense, and with to day's nuclear weapons, it has the capability of inflicting destruction more awesome j culcs" than any of the 26 disasters to which it has flown aid. But thi3 destructive power is something USAFE hopes will never be needed. Its relief work is on constant call. The USAFE specialties are flood and earthquake relief. which usually require large quantities of aid material quickly, and often It is need ed in inaccessible places. Helped 21 Countries Since USAFE started keep ing track of its emergency aid operations in January, 1953, it has been involved in helping the victims of 26 dis asters in 21 countries, and scores of other events less serious. The backbone of the dis aster relief operation is the 322nd Air Division, function ing from Evrreux. France. Its pot-bellied C130 "Hcr- aircraft are familiar wherever disaster strikes. The turbo-prop planes have helped relieve the distress of floods in Britain, Holland, Syria, Iraq, Germany, Iran, Jordan, Libya, Kenya, So maliland, and Morocco, and of earthquakes in Turkey, RESIDENTIAL HOTEL FOR ELDERLY COUPLES lt II ll II IP H wft1:-ri ni d J ii m M fcHtjM u in it i M HKvvfnt n 0 tt ft a m ir-Fi-fit f it ii fj A 4 L FOREST GLEN SENIOR RESIDENCE Enjoy the freedom end comfort of a modern resi dential hotel.

Montgomery Johnson said that the insecticide kill- i cd at least 95 per cent . of the loopers but "there was absolutely no fish kill." Johnson said that more than 400 water samples were tak en from creeks in the spray- l ing area. He called it the "most ir.lenaive water moni toring program in the world." The project, which was sponsored by Weyerhaeuser and Crown Zellerbach, was completed Monday night. It was the final phase of a massive program involving both the state and private timber companies, to eradi cate the looper on almost 70, 000 acres of forest lands. lifts medicines to prevent i anxious to go when the SOS epidemics, and sprays wide comes in areas against locusts.

She surrendered to Honolulu police when she ran out of funds and waived extra dition. Accompanying her is United States Marshal Yee, who escorted her from Honolulu. (UPI) New Weyerhaeuser Plant Unveiled Coos Bay-!UPIi-Weyerhaeuser Co. Tuesday gave community leaders and news media rep resentatives a preview of what it billed as the nation's newest high-speed, automat ed forest products plant. Manager Howard Hunt said the plant here will begin pro duction early next month with 150 employees. He said the plant cost more than $5 mil lion and will produce 100 mil lion square feet of 3-8 inch plywood annually. Ultimate plans call for 300 employees and a production of more than 200 million square feel, he said. Plywood superintendent Bert Hammond said the main features of the plant are im proved lathe design, an auto matic grading line, high speed packaging, a combination high speed sawing and sand ing line and a 36-opening hot press, the largest in the industry. soon as the extent of the dis aster became apparent, USAFE figured out what it ought to do to best help, and informed the Yugoslav gov ernment this was what the Americans could do if Bel grade asked for it. Pilots Were Ready The American planes gath ered at Ramstein, West Ger many, one of the major nu clear bases, and loaded the army field hospital. r"iiois began straining at the leash. The precise sequence is un certain, but at one point, the lead plane took off before diplomatic clearance for the flight over Yugoslavia had been given. Remembering the time several years ao when nervous Yugoslavia gunners knocked an Ameri can Air Force plane out of the sky, control officers called The Family Council Editor's note: The Famllr Council consists of a.

The planes, when they fi nally got the go-ahead, flew directly to Belgrade, where they unloaded. The mercy convoy immedi ately drove south to the dis aster area. The U.S. Army trucks bearing gleaming white stars were escorted by Yugoslav military police wearing shiny red stars. As the Americans drove past, Yugoslavs applauded and yelled "Ziveli Ameri kanci" (Long Live the Americans). McGinty Leaves on Hawaii Training Cruise Portland-iUPD - The Naval Reserve training ship USS McGinty was to sail today on a three-week summer t. ny; cruise to Hawaii.

Noreen N. - I'd like a taste of being in charge of myself. Mrs. I. N. - What sense can there be in a young girl mov ing to separate quarters when her parents have a sumptuous home a mile away? Noreen is 22, holding down her first job as a trainee in a department store. To live alone in a pre sentable place would take her whole salary. Besides, it may give young men she entertains the wrong idea. Noreen N, - I don't want to be like some of my friends who take out-of-town jobs or even jump at the first mar riage proposal just for a chance to set up housekeeping on their own. Why can't an unmarried girl try it? My par ents are more concerned with what "people" will say than with whether I can swing this change. It's a natural step for me, The Council: The unspoken fear of this mother leaps from between the lines: "How will Noreen ever get a nice hus band? She'll look like a sub stantial catch with us and our lovely house as a back ground." And insofar as a suitor wonders why she left her home (a big family fight? horrible parents? quest for date3 and social adventure?) Noreen must be very clear herself as to her reasons. As stated, they are valid. The success of her move will de pend upon her maturity. It is this which will dictate how she conducts herself with no one around to remind, censure, or censor. All birda, Mrs. N., must fly the coop. Yours isn't being pushed out, or plucked out. Instead she's taking a deep breath and lifting off solo. And since there'll be a continuing friendship, she'll certainly touch home base fre quently - especially with a heavy (and hungry) date . . . Of bourse remember, Noreen, independence is a two-way stretch. You make all de cisions alone, but you cry alone, too! Simpson Participates In Strategy Seminar Maj. Hugh G. Simpson, Ashland, was a recent parti cipant in the Defense Stra tegy seminar-63 at the Na tional War college in Wash ington, D.C. Simpson, public relations director of Southern Oregon college, attended the semi nar with about 200 other re serve officers.
