OREGON PAGE 9 A Experts Say Packed Goods Contribute To Living Costs NEW YORK (VP1 Housewives for a long time have been de manding packaged goods, and that, say the experts, is one of the reasons for the rise in the cn-t of living index. . y yKr A WORLD OF CULTURAL BACKGROUND is represented by these students in the sci ence laboratory of Henley High School, Cornelius Boshuizen, at the microscope, is w native of Holland; in his two and a half years as a resident of this country he has achieved an excellent command of the English language, Doana Reed, whom instructor Earl Graham is showing the operation of the vacuum pump, has attended schools in Turkey, Paris, Tokyo and other places. Jackie Williams, working with the microprojector, attend ed school last year in Fairbanks, Alaska. Daughter of Col. Jack Williams, commander of Kingsley Field, she has also attended school in Guam and in several different states. Staid English Never Sans Tea In Any Situation HORNCHl'RCII. England (UPD Mrs. Mabel Vaughan was hav ing tea under the apple tree in her garden when all the trouble started. Ronald Rlack. !!). and a friend, Mary Holmes, 27, were flying about the countryside in an American-built, single - engined eronea monoplane when the en gine began sputtering. Black zigged and (sagged over the local golf course, sending golfers running for cover. Watch ers sucked in their breath as the plane hit a 60-foot elm tree, spun twice and plopped' right into Mrs. Vaughan s apple tree. Black and Miss Holmes clam bered out, uninjured except for a slight cut on Black's forehead. Mrs. Vaughan sprang to her feet and quickly sized up the sit uation. "Would you like a cup of tea?" she asked. "Yes, please," they said. They had their tea, left the plane ip the garden and went home by cab. Companies doing that packaging find there is no way to go back to the days before packaging. So they are trying to lighten the cost factor in their packages. The Better Packaging Advisory Council has just conducted a 90- day study on that subject. The survey found that to meet the demands of the current buy ers market, firms are selecting packaging that helps to sell their products, reduce shipping costs. and breakage, and helps bring prices into line so that they can pass savings on to ths ultimate customers. The survey made on a nation wide basis to 800 manufacturers disclosed that today s trend in packaging is toward the increas ing use of fibre cans and tubes in place of p;1pcr cartons and wooden boxes, metal cans, cor rugated packages, glass and oth er forms of packaging. The advisory council, a nan- profit organization devoted to im proving packaging through mar ket and laboratory research, re ported that 30 per cent of the manufacturers said that at some time in the last five years they had changed over from other types of packaging to the more economical kind. BLY, OREGON Tuesday & Wednesday "THE FLY" In Clnematonpe A Technicolor Cartoon ARCH THEATRE Fifty two per cent of the manu facturers said their main aim was to cut costs so that the saving could be passed on to the custo mer. Other reasons for switching were better products, protection, convenience, better appearance. durability, facility of labeling and sealing, better display possibili ties, ereater consumer acceptance, possibility of mechanical tilling and temperproof packaging. Those manufacturers using fibre cans and tubes reported a sales rise averaging 32 per cent. Ninety ner cent of the companies report ing said their sales gains ranged upward to 100 per cent. The re mainder reported gains of 400 to, 500 per cent. The survey disclosed that the increasingly popular fibre pack aging greatly reduced shipping costs. A total of 68.1 per cent of the companies reported that be tween 1 and 10 per cent savings in shipping costs were effected. A total of 30.6 per cent reported their savings totaled between 11 and 25 per cent, and 1.3 per cent reported savings of 26 per cent to 50 per cent. The survey covered industry groups such as drug, food, auto motive, hardware, chemical, elec trical, toy, construction, aviation and housewares. Savings in freight from the new packaging method are made by the fact that there is less break age in the new method. The trend toward packaging has been going on for a long time to meet the demands of consumers. This is the first real attempt to shave costs so that some of the saving could be passed on to the consumers. ' i The objective of cost cutting for consumers proves again that the consumer is king, Bay the mar keting experts.

UHLIG'S 1026 Main 'Miracle Collision' Eyed By Prize-Winning Scientist By DELOS SMITH L'PI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPD Dr. Har old C. Urey, a Nobel Prize win ner and one of America's most distinguished scientists, believes in one "miracle." That is that "now and then" the head of a comet collides with the earth and causes an explosion that can be compared only to the blast of "some million or more atomic bombs. This would be a "miracle" (as well as a staggering disaster) be cause science can show such a collision is, if not altogether im possible, "highly improbable." But Urey acknowledged his belief in it while arguing with a scien tific colleague whom he accused of believing in a much greater "miracle." Urey implied that Dr. T. P. Kohman evidently believes earth like rocks can somehow accumu " late in the vast reaches of "the great cold vacuum" of outer Epace and there encounter the ex tremely hiah temperatures of some 2,700 degrees (F) needed to melt them. Urey was being, sar- , castic, of course, but for a pur pose. He was endeavoring to destroy Kohman's theory that tektites are not of this earth although they are found in some parts of it but are a very special kind of mete orites or cosmic debris which ac quired their highly individualistic properties in the space that sep arates tne stars. 1 Killed, 5 Hurt In Headon Crash MIAMI (UPD One man was killed and five others injured Sunday when two propeller-driven swamp boats collided head-on in the F.verelades. The dead man was identified as Joseph Melvin Malzoh, 31, of Mi Ami. The iniurcd all of Miami were Charlie Roberts, 33, Rich ard Thaysen, 31, George McFar land. Max L. Goode, 43, and Thomas S. Nunn, whose hand was amputated py a propeuer. The origin of tektites has been the subject of a scientific argu ment for generations. Tektites are glassy globs shaped like but tons or pears, indicating they had been in flight while in a molten state. They're entirely unique among the earth's large variety of stones and they're found only in widely scattered belts in Texas. North Africa, Australia and Czechoslovakia. Urcy's attack upon the Kohman theory was in support of his own theory that tektites originated on the earth. His theory has all the logic on its side, he said, since it accounts tor all the peculiarities. Their chemical composition is "remarkably similar" to the more acid of earth's sedimentary rocks, which suggests they once were sedimentary rocks. To make a sedimentary rock into a tektite you would need a melting temperature of 2,732 degrees (F) and no such high temperatures occurs naturally on the earth's surface. But if a comet s head collided with the earth such a high tem perature would be commonplace around the point of impact. And globs of sedimentary rock in the molten slate would be put into flight in a direct line away from this point of impact. In this way his theory accounts for the obvious fact that tektites once were in a molten state, for their distribution in belt-like pat terns, and for their chemical sim ilarity to the earth s rocks. Koh man had buttressed his theory by reporting the detection,' in trace amounts, of minerals not found on earth. This Urey dismissed by challenging the accuracy of the detection techniques. The argument is taking place in the international technical journal. "Nature," where Koh man will answer Urey in due course. Both are nuclear chem ists. Urey provided much of the chemical spadework for the atomic bomb. He is a University of Chicago professor currently wnrkme and teaching in tngiana, Kohman is a professor at the Carnegie Institute of Technology n Pittsburgh Oregon Food' t iiiiuilll 1 1 1 iiiiiui , W FREE Everv Day Al r. . yy' ma".r OREGON FOOD.'
