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.

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.

NOT JUST FOR DRESS
Stockton, Calif. - lUPIl -Charles
Hawkins, chairman of
