The same is done, Burrrll said, by labor unions, farm groups, busi nessmen and the like, and will be done by the united professional group. One public Issue in par ticular Is now aimed directly at one of the professions, that of so cialised medicine, and the council will undoubtedly try to go to bat for the Interest of the medical profession In that respect, Burrell said. In addition to working for the preservation of Its own member ship, the council can be expected to take It stand on other Issues, much In the manner adopted by the chamber of commerce, labor organisations and the like. The membership of the newly organised body Is enthusiastic over the potential workings of the coun cil and In another year or two expects the organisational move ment among professional groups to be statewide. The Klamath Palls council Is not a closed dub, but will con sider admission of any recognised professions.

Unique Floating Bridge, Once Center OfHotWashington Row, Now Paid For nv mm ayai into M A Klaff Correspondent SEATTLE NKAi Alter JO years of arguing, a year and a half uf building, and nine years of toll collrclliu. the only Ousting brtilge in the United Htatca was paid for this summer 1 years ahead of schedule. Seattle lias one of the world's four civilian pontoon bridges be cause an Irate young man missed a ferry In IDItt. As he watched the lerry paddle arnvsa Lake Washing ton toward Mercer Island. Utile more than a mile away, Homer M. llatlley, a young structural en gineer, decided he had missed the boat for the last lime. He would build a bridge. He found he had chosen the world's worst brlitite site. A lake depth of 150 to Duo feet underlaid with 100 feet of mud made the cost of a fixed bruise enormous. Hut Hadley continued to study the lake and, a few months later, he had the bridge built on paper. The Initial reaction to his floating-bridge plan was definitely not favorable. People said It would hamper ship traffic and mar the city s beauty. Hadley continued to show his plans to various civic organisa tions. Impressed by the Ionic and economy of his suggestions, they launched a "Uuild-a-Hrldgr" cam paign that eventually had the en tire slate in an uproar. To settle the dispute, a Hlale Toll Undue Authority was created lo study all methods of bridslnu the lake. Alter months of research, the board presented a solution In corHrallug virtually all of Had ley s ideas, and, In HMD. construc tion of the unique structure began. As work jn the "mou-loot floating section progressed. opponcnla lu Ihe brtdiie at first were not con vinced that the 4458-ton concrete pontoon wouldn't sink. Ilut the un broken four-lane esprrsa hluhwav across the lake, held In place by N) go-ton anchors, has safely ridden out the miMt severe storms. Although the water level of l,ake Washtnguxt Is controlled by gov ernment locks, possible water level fluctuations were not Ignored. Rent ing on a system of hydraulic rock ers, the bruise ran tolerate vari ation of three feet without harm. No (lather I.ak shipping has never been hindered by the bridge. It literally comes apart to form a passage way for lame, ocean-going vessels. By drawing the channel pontoon In to a sscially-designed "bay" In a divided pontoon, a loo-foot opening Is msde In the bridge. On June SO. 1IH0. II months after work began on the iMMl.ooo pro ject, the first automobile "floated" across Lake Washington. The bridge eliminates mors than U miles ol travel Ihruugli con gested residential areas to reach the expending east shore, ft pro vides a direct route from Heelll lo Ihe transcontinental hlahway through th CaM-ade mountains.
