You drive down a narrow
street in the city of Birming
ham, Ala. It is late afternoon
of the second day of public
school desegregation. The tem
perature is in the 90s.
A group of Negro youths is
playing touch footbali on the
asphalt street. A lanky fellow
holds up his hand, signalling
your car to stop. You follow
instructions because these are
touchy days in Birmingham.
The Negro youth just wants
to finish a play ; then he motions
you on and the "team" throws
up a greeting sign.
You are looking for a certain
house where a Negro girl by
the name of Patricia Marcus
lives. She and Josephine Powell
were the two Negroes admitted
to West End High School in Bir
mingham, an event that touched
off a demonstration and boycott
; by white students.
! Wednesday, on their way home
from school by car, a brick
' crashed through the front win
dow opposite the driver. Despite
I the heat, the windows had been
I closed a precaution being
taken quite a bit in the tense
city where rock-throwing at cars
j is getting to be about as com-
inon as jay-walking.
You find the house. A Negro
I youth the one who was driv
; ing the car at the time comes
: out on the porch. He asks what
1 you want. He is nervous and
suspicious. You are invited hesi
tantly into a small living room.
Both girls are there, still tense
but much more composed than
; members of the families who
' are in a twitter of excitement.
1 Would the violence against
them the first incident so far
i against any of the five Negroes
enrolled in formerly white
schools of Birmingham deter
! them from further attendance
at West End? They quietly say
it will not.
These are not mature adults
but school children in their mid
teens. Until recently, their
names were known by few
others than their families, doc
tor, preacher, school teachers
and a limited circle of friends.
Suddenly, they are in the spot
light of world attention.

Television cameras dog their
way every footstep, wait (or
their every exit and entrance
from school. Microphones are
constantly in their faces.
Reporters repeatedly ask
"How did it go today?"
The youngsters, disciplined
and trained in the new art of
leaving it to their lawyers to
express their emotions, dutifully
respond to every question, "No
comment."
The brick that smashed
through the window of their cat
also smashed through their bar
rier of silence, if only momen
tarily. "1 leaned back on some of
the glass and it cut my back a
little," one of the girls said.
"My hair was just full of
glass," said the other.
Outside, you look at the car,
a late model Dodge. The force
of the brick had shattered the
glass and torn loose a section
of window trim.
Upward Trend
In Pesticide
Sales Expected
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Agriculture Department esti
mates a longtime upward trend
will cause pesticides sales in
the United States to increase 10
to 12 per cent in 1963.
In a review of the pesticide
situation in 1962-63, the depart
ment said pesticide usage in the
United States increased in 1962
over previous years. Exports of
pesticides also increased.
The department said sales of
synthetic organic pesticides at
the primary producer level
were up . 14 per cent. The
value of exports of all kinds of
pesticides was up 22 per cent.
Weather Has Effect
Infestations in the United
States were average to below
normal in 1962 with no major
outbreak of pests. A severe mid
winter freeze throughout the
Southern States early in the
year, the cold rainy spring
while grasshoppers were hatch
ing in the West and Midwest,
and the prolonged summer
drought in the Northeast all con
tributed to reducing the control
operations usually needed
against a number of major
pests.
The department said sales of
synthetic organic pesticidal
chemicals by primary producers
in 1962 amounted to $346.4 mil
lion. This compared with $303
willion in 1961.
DDT Production Down I
Production of some major pes-1
ticides was less in 1962. DDT ;
production was down 2.6 per ,
cent, methyl parathion was ;
down 12.8 per cent, and benzene ;
hcxachloride gamma basis was j
down 56 per cent. The depart
ment said this indicates the
growing importance of proprie
tary chemicals produced by sin
gle firms.
The department said insecti
cides accounted for 59.2 per cent
of pesticides sales in pounds in
1962. Fungicides accounted lor
15.2 per cent, herbicides 15 per
cent; fumigants, 9.8 per cent;
and rodentieides 0.7 per cent.

University Study of
Korean Cities Processed
Class Catalog Is
Available in Area
Portland A catalog of both
credit and noncrcdit evening
courses available through the
Division of Continuing Educa
tion of the Oregon state system
of higher education, and a time
schedule of fall term classes to
be offered throughout the state
are now available, according to
Dr. R. Duane Andrews, direc
tor of the DCE continuation
centers.
Included in the catalog are
details on courses offered via
evening classes in liberal arts,
the sciences, and technical
fields during the 1963-64 three
term academic year. Instruct
ors also are listed, and expla
nation made of fee schedules,
facilities, and other points of
concern to persons who are con
sidering enrolling in evening
classes.
DCE evening classes include
courses and instructors from
other member institutions of
the Oregon slate system of
higher education, including Ore
gon State university, the Uni
versity of Oregon, Southern
Oregon and Eastern Oregon
colleges, Oregon College of
Education, and Oregon Techni
cal Institute.
Though many persons parti
cipate in evening classes who
are not seeking graduate or
undergraduate degrees, Dr. An
drews noted, credits may be
earned toward degree programs
through the satisfactory com
pletion of such courses. Details
on the transfers of DCE-award-ed
course credits may also be
found in the catalog.

EUGENE The data on a Uni
versity of Oregon study of Ko
rean cities and their patterns
of economic development have
been processed, and a full re
port will be ready for publica
tion and transmission to the Ko
rean government in January.
The study is being conducted
iiy Dr. Forrest R. Pitts, associ
ate professor of geography, who
has spent the past summer pro
cessing the data through two
electronic computers at the
University of Chicago and
Northwestern university.
The data processing was done
under a $1,500 grant from the
Western Management Science
Institute of the Graduate School
of Business Administration at
the University of California at
Los Angeles.
Material Gathered
Material for the study was
gathered by Dr. Pitts in '1959-60
when he was a member of the
University of Oregon advisory
group to the Korean govern
ment. The study is aimed at find
ing out the ways in which Ko
rean cities differ in the goods
and services which they provide.
Preliminary results have
shown that, except for the
largest cities, Korean communi
ties fall into one of two cate
gories. They either cling to a
"very traditional," undeveloped
economic pattern, or they have
moved into a "very progres
sive," economically well-developed
stage, according to Dr.
Pitts.
The report will pinpoint the
historical and economic reasons
for these differences and sug
gest ways in which the Korean
government can improve its
country's allocation of resources,
he said.

Science Tips Over That
Applecart With Our Ideas
"Tipping over the applecart"
is becoming a daily procedure,
for this is the age of skepticism.
Sometimes it's a terrible shock
to have believed in something
all one's life, then to have some
scientific discovery or invention
knock the props out from under
it, by proving it wasn t true in
the first place.
And today, the "applecart-tippers-over"
are so busy that the
old applecart has been upset so
many times it just might right
itself by natural revolution.
Unenlightened
The unenlightened must have
viewed with disbelief the idea
that "behind the clouds the sun
was shining." To him, it didn't
seem logical. It took years, too,
to prove the stars really didn't
twinkle at all, that it was just a
trick man's eyes played on him,
but they sure seemed to twinkle.
Even many pretty bright adults
had the idea they could hear the
roar of the sea when they held a
seashell up to their ear; they
must have been disappointed
when they discovered the same
roar was there when they substi
tuted an empty tin can.
The early Chinese, supposed
to be pretty smart, thought the
ebb and flow of the tide on the
ocean beach was the breathing
of the earth monster. It took
many generations of men and an
array of facts and figures to
prove what was right and what
was imagination.
Horsehair Snake
It's discouraging lo the small
boy to find out that a horsehair I
left in a tub of water, does not
turn into a horsehair snake, or j
that the groundhog hasn't the j
slightest idea of what he is do-1
ing, weathcrwise, when he peeks :
out of the burrow opening on
February second, to see whether i
or not he casts a shadow.
Probably the smug adult feels
pretty worldly and extremely
wise when he can assure the
small boy or girl that science
discredits such silly ideas, and
can prove there was never any
truth to them.
Dig Disappointment
That very young girl is sure
to be a little disappointed when
she learns there is no Santa I
Claus, or that the bunny rabbit
doesn't lay colored eggs on Eas-!
tcr morning; or that there really i
is no good fairy that leaves a
coin under a pillow, lo repay one
for losing a tooth.
Man himself, grown lo adult
hood and very wise, is constant
ly having many of his old ideas
shattered, too, by some expert
who with the aid of some new
machine or process can prove
how very wrong we have been
all this time. For a typical ex
ample, who would know about
that little faucet in our stomach
that drips, drips, drips acid in ;
such copious amounts. Pretty re
vealing; makes us realize that
right to a little while ago, we
were all cluttered up with silly
ideas with which we have lived
with some degree of comfort,
only to have science come along
and "tip over the applecart."
All facilities are open and
will remain open until cold
weather forces a shutoff of wat
er in the campgrounds on the
Applegate district of the Rogue
River National forest, the Med
ford office reported today.
Issuing a summary of condi
tions to September recreation
ists, t h e foresters described
roads, trails and campgrounds
as in good condition throughout
the forest.
Some wildflowers are still in
bloom on Dutchman Peak in
the Applegate district but they
are disappearing with the ap
proach of autumn.
Man Finds Leak
But House Wrecked
ATLANTA (UPI) - Smelling
gas in a vacant house he own
ed Thursday, Charles A. Wigley,
68, struck a catch to sec if a
small gas heater was working.
The resulting explosion wreck
ed the six-room house, broke
windows in neighboring homes
and hospitalized Wigley with
burns from the waist up.
Firemen said the fumes were
escaping from an open gas pipe
in the kitchen where a stove
had been removed Wednesday.
All lakes are open, but fish
ing in lakes and streams is list
ed as fair at best and poor on
the Butte Falls and Applegate
districts.
Heavy Logging Traffic
There is heavy logging traf
fic to be watched for on
Thompson creek road and mod
erate logging on Sturgis, Mid
dle Fork and Beaver Creek
roads where dust has made visi
bility poor.
neavy uuck trainc in connec-1
lion with the ski development in
the Mt. Ashland ilea makes
travel slightly difficult on the i
Tolman-Bull Gap and Ashland
Loop roads, the forest service
reported, asking motorists to
exercise caution. j
The nights arc now cold on
the Butte Falls ranger district
with Mt. McLoughlin in the
background and campers are
advised to take along warm
clothing. Blue Rock road has!
been surfaced and is in good
condition. j
On the Union Creek district, i
there is heavy logging traffic
on the Douglas-Jackson county
line roads and the Wizard creek
road.
The huckleberries are ripe
but they are few and widely
scattered.
