Its area of 37,300 square miles with a pop ulation today of approximately 1,725,000 has been ruled by many countries over the cen turies. Today it is a constitu tional monarchy with a bicam eral parliament. Life in Jordan is primitive with an estimated 50,000 nomads and 120,000 semi nomads. At least 95 per cent of the total area is desert. However, as in all countries, there are favorite recipes that appeal not only to the "natives" but to foreigners as well. Lamb Rice Turnover is one of these, according to Jordan representa tives to the United Nations. We are inclined to agree. cup salad oil 2 pounds cubed lean lamb 2 large onions, peeled and sliced 1 large or 2 small heads cauliflower, sliced 2 tablespoons salt 1 tablespoon ground allspice 4 cups rice 1 green pepper, sliced (optional) Pan-brown lamb in quarter cup oil in a four-quart kettle.

The Agriculture Department's research service has just come up with an item that should make an ideal gift for the hard-to-buy-(or granger or husband man. ! It's a fallout shelter for cows. ! Talk about agrarian status symbols! 1 would rather have a bovine fallout shelter than an atomic-powered churn. According to the department, this type of shelter has a dual function. It will provide fallout shelter (or 50 cows. And in be tween nuclear attacks, it can serve as a dairy barn. Shelters Farinci Also The shelter also has space for six people. This will, the depart ment notes, "permit the dairy man to care for his livestock during a fallout emergency with out leaving the barn." The department, as you can see, has thought of everything except how the farmer is going to deliver the milk. Another new development by the agricultural research center also is designed to reduce dam age from falllout, but of a some what different type. It is an improved floor for turkey cages. The department reports that it reduces from 10 per cent to less than 1 per cent the number of shells that a tur key cracks in laying eggs. Still another development that I found captivating is the re search service's answer to the alfalfa weevil problem in the The Teen iilMUMMilIM fjf W&'" kvC U lllinLjNO MONEY DOWN It's unbelievable but TRUE!. ..you get "Pammy" the famous teen-age fashion doll, complete with 11 arate costume changes, and for a fraction of the price you'd expect to pay!

The alfalfa weevil became established in the East about 12 years ago and has been go ing great guns ever since. It has caused far more damage than it ever did in the West. Well, sir, one of the boys down at the lab has figured out the reason for this. It's because the alfalfa weevil is not beset by natural enemies as it is in the West. The department has moved to remedy the situation by bringing in anti-weevil insects from California and other places, including Europe. Should be an interesting experiment. I hope, however, that some one at the department is giving some thought as to how we are going to get rid of the imported insects once they have done in the weevils.

(UPI) -Marion County sheriff's deputies hoped today to be able to ques tion a Cloverdale man in con nection with a gunshot wound which shattered his upper lip and tore off most of his nose. Deputies said Simon Watson, 52. drove up to a Turner market Wednesday and collapsed as he got out of his car. He was reported in fair con dition following surgery at Sa lem Memorial Hospital. Deputy Sheriff John Wilkerson said a 30-30 deer rifle, from which one shot had been fired, was found in Watson's car, but that it did not appear Watson had been shot inside the car. Wilkerson said Watson's wife and children were unable to ex. plain the incident, and that Wat. son apparently had been in good health. Watson was employed at a fir tree farm southwest of here. Prison Escapee Nabbed by Agents PORTLAND (UPI) -Billy Francis Jones, 42, an escapee from the honor farm near Wash ougal, Wash., was arrested at the U. S. Veterans Hospital here Wednesday. FBI agents said Jones had been a patient at the hospital since shortly after his escape Nov. 8. He told agents his feet had frozen while walking away from the prison farm, John H. Williams, special agent, in charge of the Portland office, said. Jones was lodged in the in firmary at Multnomah County Jail following a preliminary hearing before the U. S. Com missioner. He had been sentenced at Se attle in 1962 to 20 years in the Washington State Penitentiary for armed robbery. ELD'S THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1963 Unique Species of Animal Life Being Found Off CORVALLIS - Oregon State University occanographers who are making the first extensive inventory of ocean animal and plant life off Oregon are dis covering some unique species and recording scientific infor mation that offers tremendous potential and benefits for the future. Because so little work had been done earlier, almost every trip by the OSU oceanographic vessel, Acona, produces some "new - for - Oregon" species of animal life fish, squid, shrimp and plankton according to Dr. William G. Pcarcy, who is in charge of work on the small swimming animals of the ocean. More important, the oceanog raphers are gathering detailed information on the inler-rcla-tionships between ocean water and animal lite. They are ob serving how the distribution of species changes from season to season; how the fish, shrimp and squid migrate vertically throughout the day, and what the members of food chains are. This will provide data on the potential food resources of tlie ocean. Another Goal Noted Another goal of biological oceanography is to predict movements and concentrations of animals by knowledge of their environment, such as tempera ture, salinity, oxygen and the production of their food The project on small swim ming organisms which are intermediate in the food chain between plankton and larger fishes and whales is now in its third year under Pcarcy's direction. Collections are made year round with midwater trawls and large plankton nets at locations extending up to 165 miles off Coos Bay, Newport and Astoria. The upper 200 Love BEE?

Recently, a species of squid never before reported in scien tific literature was collected by the OSU oceanographers. It is unique in that males of the species lack "hooks" that are standard equipment on the main set of arms in squid. Females of the species, oddly enough. have the hooks, though weakly developed. Studies Are First The studies bv Pearcy are the first ever made on squids off Oregon. Up to now, 17 different species of squid have been identified off Oregon by the OSU researcher. Seven of the 17 species had not been report ed earlier in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. Squids feed on fish and Crusta cea and in turn are eaten by many whales and other larger fishes. Pearcy has just been awarded a $52,000 grant by National Sci ence Foundation to continue his project another three years. Earlier work was supported by the Atomic Energy Commis sion.
