An informal effect in a traditional decor is achieved here through use of random width paneling. Knotty Pine Still Tops For Wall Paneling There has been a steadily grow ing revival of interest in color, texture, and pattern in the walls of every room in the house. For both traditional and con temporary settings, knotty pine paneling is more popular than ever. Wood provides the cheerful warmth that is sought in keeping with the kind of casual living that many families are trying to achieve these days. At the same time, wood panel ing offers a wide variety of deco rating effects that permit the home-owner to achieve a certain sense of individuality. For instance,' paneling from the 20 Most Important Insect Pests Listed For State A list of the 10 "most impor tant" but least wanted crop and forest insect pests in Oregon for 1958, has been released by the State Department of Agriculture which notes these insects consume over four billion dollars a year of agricultural crops on the na tional scene. Joe Capizzi, survey entomologist with the department and entomolo gist cooperator with the federal Agricultural Research Service and Oregon State College, picked the year's 10 based on the importance of individual pests rather than on crop or host importance. '"It is true that most insects are beneficial but most of us think little of this; instead we concen trate on the few thousand insects that are destructive to man's be longings and his agricultural pro duction, Capizzi said, adding. "This selection has been made for the information of agricultural workers and to establish trends and pinpoint areas in which work needs to be concentrated. In a second "top 10," Capizzi named insects which he rates as most important to "man, animal and household." Both ratings were made after consultation with mem bers of the state college entomolo gy department and co-workers m the state department of agriculture. The crop and forest pest list in cludes: 1. Codling moth, one of Oregon's most destructive - fruit insects. Without an adequate 'and costly) spray program most of the apples grown in the state would be wormy and unsalable. 2. Pear psylla, small insect with a big appetite. A large headache to our pear industry. 3. Western Cherry Fruit Fly, lays its eggs inside the cherry fruit. Spray programs are directed against the adult fly as it emerges from the ground in the spring. 4. TheJSarden Symphylid, not an insect but a delicate white animal that lives in the soil and eats al most any crop. Very difficult to control, this pest is increasing in importance each year. 5. Spider Mites, pests of many crops and always a problem. There are several kinds of these tiny pests, and their damage is done by sucking out the plant juices. 6. Balsam Wooly Aphid, an in sect now present in epidemic pro portions in Oregon sub-alpine fir forests. No controls are effective as yet. - 7. Spruce Budworm, another for est insect, still causing a great amount of damage, particularly in the northeastern part of the state. 8. Cabbage Looper. This was a "looper year" and these caterpil lars were a season-long, expensive insect problem in vegetable grow ing areas in Multnomah, Marion and Washington counties. 9. Aphids, everywhere a prob lem on crops from wheat to rose garden. 10. Beet Armyworm, an unusual pest in Oregon; attacked vegetable crops, mint, sugar beets and even ripening orchard fruit from mid summer until November. Capizzi's list of insects and re lated pests of man, animal, and household, together with his ex planations follows; 1. Cattle Grubs. These damage meat and hides and are common anywhere cattle are raised. 2. Mosquitoes, cause a conside- erable problem in irrigated areas of eastern Oregon and along the rivers and log ponds everywhere in the state. 3. Houseflies, always a source of possible contagion and great nuisances in all areas. 4. Earwigs, particularly an un happy pest in this state where damp climate is so favorable fori their existence. 5. Termites are very serious and costly insects to the unwary home home owner. Modern home con struction that permits wood con tact with the sou has permitted a serious increase in termite dam age in the past few years. 6. Carpet beetles are tor some unknown reason causing mcreas of sheep and costs t h e sheep ranchers of Oregon many tnous ands of dollars each year. 7. Roaches, always important be cause of their presence around food and their transmission ol dis eases to man. 8.

In their natural state, pon derosa pine, Idaho white pine, su gar pine, white fir. Engelmann spruce, and lodgepole pine are considered light woods. Larch, in land red cedar, and incense cedar are on the dark side. Douglas fir has an intermediate tone. Ponderosa pine is popular for its large but relatively few knots while others, such as Engelmann spruce and Idaho white pine, are favored for small knots. For an informal atmosphere, the panels are frequently combined in random widths. Random width paneling can consist of two differ ent widths alternated regularly or three different widths in regular progression say 6. 8. 10. 6. 8, 10 or a step-up, step-down pattern 6, 8, 10, 8, 6. The most informal feeling is created by catch-as-catch-can random taking the boards as they are picked up. Among the most popular pat terns of paneling are V-joint and bull-nose -for expressing simplicity and contemporary feeling, the but terfly and double butterfly for more ornateness and more tradi tional decor. One of the most interesting new developments in the use of knotty- pine paneling is the way people are finishing it in color. Virtually any color can be given to the wood through the use of brush-on-wipe-off finishes that permit the natural characteristics of the wood to show through the color. As examples of some strikingly different color finishes, there is a series of six folders each contain ing six recipes. For free copies write to: Western Pine Associa tion, Yeon Building. Portland 4.

Exactly 60 days later, on Oct. 6, she rose to the surface and glided into New London, Conn., having set a new record for con tinuous undersea operation. To many, the feat was just an other in the seemingly endless stream of broken records brought about by an advanced technology. Navy brass divided their senti ments between awe and elation, realizing that the Seawolf's per formance had revolutionized tra ditional concepts of naval war fare. But to Max D. Lislon the record dive was the happy outcome of a task that started seven years ago. Although it takes up less room than a wardrobe trunk, Liston's atmosphere analyzer has defeated the submariner's worst foe poi soned air. Before the analyzer was per fected, submarine commanders had no way of knowing whether their air was being poisoned and had to surface at least once every 12 hours for safety s sake. But now, working in conjunction with a vastly improved air purifi cation system, the analyzer has helped turn the submarine from a vulnerable hit-and-run weapon into an undersea arsenal capable of gliding unnoticed from ocean to ocean and delivering its de structive might to almost any part of the world. Even though the basic principles of the analyzer have long been known, Liston's job as chief re search engineer at Beckman In struments Laboratories here was to apply these principles in a sin gle compact unit that would fit into the cramped interior of a submarine and would withstand the roll of heavy seas and the shock of exploding depth .charges. As he explains it, there are four toxic gases produced during an extended undersea voyage: carbon Fiberglass Boat Building Materials The Gun Store 714 Maia fa. TU 4-383 dioxide, the by-product of human metabolism; carbon monoxide, which results from combustion; freon, which may leak from the vessel's refrigeration system, and hydrogen, from storage batteries used in emergencies. The hydrogen detector was com pleted in short order, but the other three required an apparatus based on the property of these gases to absorb heat from characteristic frequencies of infra-red rays. A model was. then designed which beamed the infra-red into three chambers at the absorption frequency of each of the gases. Then, it measured how much of the infra-red, or heat, energy ex panded the gases. This was done by detecting the movement of an extremely thin sheet of gold foil at one end of the chamber. The model worked in the lab oratory but the shock of the relatively heavy air and gas mole cules against the translucent sheet of foil soon ruptured it. Installation of a new sheet could not be un dertaken outside the laboratory. Lislon and his co-workers' spent months trying to solve this prob lem until List on came up with the idea of removing most of the ir and gas from the sampling cham ber. He reasoned that it was only the proportion of the foreign gas that had to be measured, and that a lower denjity there would mean fewer molutules battering against the foil. It was tried and it worked, with standing the severest tests. Today the analyzer is standard equipment aboard the nation's atomic submarine fleet, and the undersea sailor's fear of poisoned air has been conquered.
