Couple Gels ; Trip To Montreal A Medford couple, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Paradis, will re ceive an all expense paid trip to Montreal, Canada, this month to attend the North American Van Lines Agents' convention, James D. Edgett, president o the Lines, has announced. Con vention dates are Oct. 16-19. Paradis, owner - manager of Paradis Transfer and Storage Inc., was selected as one of 95 agents to win trips on the basis of their quality record in esti mating accuracy, sales of ship ments and performance effi ciency of 90 per cent. This was in packing, storage, hauling and making destination calis on in coming customers. The Paradis agency has been associated with North Ameri can Van Lines for five years. Southern Oregon offices are at 1015 North Central ave., Med ford, and 260 Fourth St., Ashland. Jet Age Marks Fifth Birthday By ROBERT J. SERL1XG urt aviation trtilor WASHINGTON, (UPI) - Five years ago this month, a Pan d years ago this month, a Pan American World Airways Boe ing 707 took off on a New York Paris flight that marked the birth of America's Jet Age. Accompanying the plane on that Oct. 26, 1958, flight were a number of pessimistic predic- GLASSES ON CREDIT! ti?)E Grten Slampi COLUMBIAN OPTICAL CO. MEDFORD SHOPPING CENTER tions about jet transports, to wit: At more than $5 million per aircraft, they were too expen sive to make money and too big for passenger demand. They were too fast to fit into the antiquated air traffic control system and collisions were inevitable. They were too tricky to fly because of their swept-badk wings and enormous weight. ! They exposed crew and cut , tomers to such high altitude hazards as cosmic rays, poison ous ozone and radioactive fall lout. At the time of Pan Am's inaug ural jet flight across the Atian- tic, the airline had only two i 707's. Five years later, the na tion's 11 major airlines were op ; erating more than 400 jets. From their half-decade of ex ! perience has come impressive ; proof that all the pessismistic ! predictions were far off course. iNow Breaks Even No airline has yet armortize ! its jetliner purchases. In their early stages they had to be flown at least three-fourths full I to make any money, but gradu ; ally, the airlines have reduced jet operating costs to the point where they can at least break even with only a half-load and some earners can earn profits a jet only 45 per cent full. As for public acceptance of what was a radically-different plan five years ago, the jets from the very start smothered propeller-driven planes on all competing runs. Today, seven out of every 10 air passengers fly by jet even though only one airliner out of six is a pure jet. Too fast? in five years, there has been only one collision in volving a jet a United DCS and a TWA Constellation over New York in December, 1960. Atop Federal Aviation Agency spo kesman says: "the safe handl ing of jet traffic has surpassed all expectations and while there still are problems, it's getting better all the time."

Officials said the delays af fected 21 Polaris missile subs and 10 torpedo-armed types de signed to combat enemy subma rines and surface shipping. Sub marines being delayed are equal to the total number of nuclear types 31 now in commis sion. A "significant part" of (he construction delay was attribut ed to stringent new safety pre cautions undertaken after ine Thresher submarine dis a s t e r which took 129 lives last April equipment and uorkmanshjp are eomnosmng t actors, we Navy said. Questions Answered Stetchy details on the holdup in construction were given in answer ts questions by news men, but only after several days of consultation at top Navy and Oetense Uepartment levels. The Navy said it could not estimate (he length of delays and did not discuss the possible effect on fleet combat readiness. Vice Adm. Hvman G.

The jets actually have a better safety record than piston-engine planes, mainly be cause of the airlines' ruthless "fly 'em by the book" training programs. Engine reliability is up to 20 times superior to the pistons. Since 1958, there have been only four fatal accidents in volving jets operated by U. S. Airlines on scheduled flights, one ot them the collision mentioned. a Get Your Fall Gardening Needs From Southern Oregon's leading Garden Stored Spray Peach & Other Trees Now With MILLER'S MICROCOP This is a "must" spray.

Fir Q The four accidents took 23? lives, underlining the inescap able tact that the death toll can be extremely high when a giant jet does crash. Despite those 237 fatalities, the jet fatality rate over the past five years has been about 20 per cent under that of propeller-driven trans ports. Unknown medical hazards? One of the nation's leading ex perts on aviation medicine, Dr. George Kidera of United Air Lines, gives this rundown: There is absolutely no evi dence that jet crews and pass-: engcrs have been exposed to dangerous high altitude radio-: activity. United equipped two! DC8's with special radioactive; monitoring devices, one plane: flying the Pacific, the other do-i mcstic routes. A third device was installed in Kidera's own office parked safely on the ground. The one of his office showed almost the same level of radioactivity exposure as the two airborne instruments. United repeated the lest short ly after the Russians exploded a 50 megaton H-Bomb and in the wake of reports that radio active debris was floating around at 30,000-40,000 leet the altitudes frequently used by jets. The second tests showed the same radioactive level as the earlier ones. Similar tests dis counted the menace of ozone, a toxic gas formed by exposure of oxygen to ultra violet rays. There is no evidence to date that jet flying takes a toll of pilots m a medical sense, uni ted s own experience shows that younger piston - engine pilots have a greater absentee rate than the older men flying jets. Nor is there any correlation be tween pilot heart attacks and the type of planes they fly, in spite of a widespread belief that jet captains are more prone to coronary difficulites. There is evidence that pas sengers suffer far less from mo tion sickness on jets. Kidera's studies show that air sickness ued to affect three out of every 100 passengers in DC3 days. It now affects only one of every 10.000 passengers flying jets. Kidera believes this is due to several factors radar-smoothed flights, greater jet stability. better weather reporting and less fear on the part of passen gers themselves. Caused By Tension "It should be called 'emotion sickness,' not 'motion sickness," says Kidera, "because it's most ly based on tension and appren sion." United's medical director says even stewardess complaints about jets virtually have dis appeared. In the first year of of the jet age, the flygirls were reporting such ailments as thrice - monthly menstruations and varicose veins. "The complaints stemmed from apprehensions about new KIMMY SAYS- Editor's note; This column is written by a Medford leen egei who has chosen the nom de plums of "KJi-jmy." Other teen agers in the area-ar.d. who knows, perhaps even patents b&filed at their offspring's behavior are inviUd to write to "Kimmy." in cai of the Mail Tribune, for suggestions ar advice on man ners, dress, behavior and similar subjects. Dear Kimmy: My boy friend comes over after foot ball practice and he is sore and tired and doesn't want to go out or do anything. Should I get another boy friend or keep him? Bored Dear Bored: 1 feel for you, but you'd better not let you're boredom show, or he'll be get ting another girl friend. Dear Unattractive: Beauty is only skin deep! It's what's in side that counts. Dear Kimmy: I love a girl bat 1 hate her at the same time. What should 1 dot Mr. Inbetween Dear Mr. Inbetween: Make up your mind fast. You may have to start searching tor a new girl if you keep this up! Dear Kimmy: If a band is going to have a dance and happens to lose a player and the dance is advertised, how could the band find another player? Or should we cancel the dance? A desperate player Dear Desperate player: Don't cancel the dance. They don't cancel a football game every time a player is unable to play Put an ad in the paper and you may have the very needed player before you can say "Hit it"! Dear Kimmy: Why is it so hard to talk your parents into something? Giving Up Dear Giving Up: Maybe you are trying to talk them into the wrong thing. Dear Kimiuy: Is Junior High very much fun? I will be in the seventh grade. Curious Dear Curious: It will be just as much fun as you make it. Wear Kimmy: I'm a queer looking girl and I like a very cute and popular boy. How should I get him? Unattractive equipment and new tasks to learn," explains Kidera, "They disappeared with more experi ence, better labor contracts and more efficient plans for cabin service." The public actually wrought the greatest change in the first five years of America's jet age. The airlines used to offer one third of their jet seating capac ity to first class passengers. The average jet today has only 20 first class seats to 120 coach seats. Dear Kimmy: 1 am going with a boy who is 16 and I am IS. We have been going steady for lour weeks. He said if I didn't like the girls 1 was going to run around with, he was going to drop me, and If 1 got my hair cut he was gning to drop me. Should I drop him? Mixed Vp Dear Mixed Up: Of course, don't waste your time on some' one who doesn't deserve it. Dear Kimmy: I am It and my mother won't let me go out to a show with a boy or even talk to one. Kimmy please help me. I wan to do things other girls do. What should I li? Lonely Dear Lonely: As I have said so many times before, obey your parents now and in the future it will really pay off. bond, alt iJqi&Uu jlel tote. wa!fp?oo!. sli , fgeoltt? Shh;.
