Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 14, 1963 Construction by Power Firm in Area on Schedule Portland - Construction of new transmission lines and substations and expansion of distribution system capacity to provide more electric fa cilities to serve growing pow er loads throughout the Pa cific Power and Light com pany service areas in the Northwest are all on schedule, the company has reported. E. Robert de Luccia, vice president and chief engineer, reported Tuesday PP&L's mid-summer milestone check on the total of $58-milIion of construction had placed the work on pace despite the late start on work in western Ore gon. He noted the dollar volume of the 1963 construction and related payroll was at a one year record level for regular system facilities. Already in Service Already in service are a 230,000-volt transmission line and a new substation which delivers energy from the big Wanapum project on the Columbia River into PP&L's system at Walla Walla, Wash. The Wanapum-Walla Walla line, built jointly with Wash ington Water Power company, represents $1,500,000 of Pa cific Power's more than $10 million going into major transmission circuits in the current year. Completed or nearing com pletion are substation expan sions and 115,000-volt circuits providing large capacity or alternate lines supplying Oak land - Winchester, Lebanon Sweet Home, Prineville, Kla math Falls, Roseburg, Med ford, Albany and Corvallis in Oregon. The largest single PP&L project in progress is a $25 million expansion of the big coal-fired steam-electric gen erating plant near Casper, Wyo. The 200,000 - kilowatt turbine-generator will double the size of the station, making it the largest in the Rocky Mountain region. The Medical Roundup by 0 Emeruus Consultant In Medlelnt Mayo ritnic Emeritus Professor of Medicint Mayo Clinic (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1963) pry Fichfner Warns of Driving Motorcycles City Police Capt. Clyde C. Fichtner warned parents in Medford today that it is ille gal for anyone under 16 or an unlicensed driver to operate light weight motorcycles which are becoming increas ingly popular in the state. Captain Fichtner said that since the two-wheelers are classified as motor vehicles, the same laws apply to their operation as those covering automobiles. This means they must be operated by a licensed driver at least 16 years old. A 15-year-old who holds an instruc tion permit still is not able to drive a two-wheeler because the law excludes use of an in struction permit to operate a motorcycle. Captain Fichtner also warn ed parents that such vehicles offer little protection to the rider in the event of a fall or collision and that riders should be thoroughly familiar with the vehicles before at tempting to operate them in traffic. Fighting Infectious Diseases I recently read that last year, in one of our greatest American cities, there were only 44 cases of polio. Why weren't there a few thou sand as there used to be? Because some years ago the people of this country of ours lusu up Alvarez una iuuk a hand in helping us doctors to conquer this terrible disease. As everyone now will re member, our people raised much money with which to support research and to help in the treatment of the chil dren of poor parents. First, a killed vaccine, and later a live vaccine, was made, and as a result of giving these vac cines, last year, wherever mo thers had taken the trouble to have their children vaccinat ed against polio, the disease was almost wiped out. One reason why paralysis in chil dren did not disappear en tirely was that there are a few rare viruses which can produce a disease that much resembles polio, and these viruses are not controlled by a polio vaccine. Such paraly tic disease can easily be con fused with polio, unless an expert study of the causative virus is made. Tuberculosis, also, was al most wiped out years ago when all good people took a hand in helping the public health workers. But then, our people rather lost interest, perhaps because they thought the disease was practically gone. And, as a result, it is coming back, and is now worrying health officers. Would Disappear The big problem today is to find the many people witli an active tuberculosis who are infecting the people-often children - who are living with them. If we physicians Indonesia, Malaya Said Nearing War San Diego - (UP1I - Indonesia and the Federation of Malaya are moving headlong toward war, according to Dr. John Gange, former State Depart ment official. Dr. Gange, now director of the University of Oregon's In s 1 1 1 u t e of International Studies, said that "even if the cold war nations withdrew, Indonesia and Malaya would continue on their collision course." In an address at the 21st annual Institute of World Af fairs, Gange charged that Secretary of State Dean Rusk has "overlooked the threat to internal peace in Southeast Asia." He also criticized the news media for concentrating too much on the Cold War and not enough on the "deeply rooted tensions in Southeast Asia." and the public health nurses could only find these people and then treat them, and cure them, we could soon make tu berculosis disappear. Today there are many grandparents with a chronic cough who are dooming their adored grandchildren to a miserable death. I am sure tliey would come forward and be treated if they only realized what a terrible thing they are doing to their loved ones.

(UP1) NOT JUST FOR DRESS Stockton, Calif. - lUPIl -Charles Hawkins, chairman of the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors, sug gested Tuesday that county employees be required to wear uniforms - so the public would recognize public ser vants on the street, in coffee shops and in taverns, when they should be "minding the store." The Jackson county elec tions department has received petitions calling for a special election on the tax program enacted by the 1963 leigsla ture, it has been reported.
