Ticket Vendors To Dispense Oergon Camping Services Ticket vending machines for collection of a service fee will be in operation this summer at 28 ofi the 850 campgrounds in the na tional forests of Oregon and Washington. This is an announce ment made recently by Regional Forester J. Herbert Stone Portland. The Wincma Forest has cur rently been engaged in a camp ground expansion program with projects under way at Lake of Ihe Woods on the Klamath Ran ger District and on the William son and Wood Rivers on the Chil- oqum Ranger District. One n( the w I n e m a campgrounds is planned to be on a service fee basis, but local forest officers ex plained that it is not planned to make a charge until facilities at Ihe camp have been completed Construction work has been un der way on the Aspen Point Campground at Lake of the Woods for the past two seasons .Currently there are contracts un dcr way for a central water sys tem and modern sanitary facili ties, when this work is com-! pleled, the Aspen Point Camp ground will be one of the best equipped national forest camp. grounds in the region, Supervisor Smith said. The Aspen Point Camp i lo cated on the east side of Lake of (he Woods and north of the Lake of the Woods Resort. It includes the area previously known as As pen Point, but has also extended to the north to include the former Salvation Army organization site. Improvements include both camp and picnic facilities, a boat launching site and adequate park ing for both cars and trailers. The camp also lies adjacent to a fine swimming beach, all of Which is accessible to full public use. When these new installations! are completed it is planned to make a nominal service charge of $1 per night for family use of a camp spot. Use will be con- I rolled, Smith said, through an automatic ticket vending ma chine. Campers will insert two 50 cent pieces in the slot, secure ticket which entitles them to exclusive use of a camp site of their selection. This procedure was used in two other national forest campgrounds last summer and found to be very satisfac tory. There will be no charge for day-use of the picnic and swim ming areas. There has been considerable local interest in our campground development program," Smith said, "-nd we encourage forest users to come and see the area leven though they do not plan to camp. i What happens when an air plane goes faster than the speed of sound? It causes sonic disturbance popularly termed "sonic boom." This noise may sound like someone shooting off a shotgun in the next room. It very often will surprise and disturb you strange as it may seem, it is your "sound of security." You ask. "How can a noise like that have anything to da with my personal security?" The answer is simple. The front line of this nation's defense is the so-called "century series let lighter - interceptor. Aircraft such as the F-101, F-102, F-104, F-105, and F-106 are easily capable of traveling at speeds exceeding that of sound, and arc expected to do so in the routine accomplishment of their duties. They can create a sonic boom with little effort. But we might remember that we are not the only country experiencing such noise Russians near it every day. An explanation of the sound is not nearly as complicated as it might at first appear. Pcopl throughout the ages have always heard a type of sonic boom . . . which they called thunder. When an airplane travels super- sonically, a funnel-shaped a i r mass surrounds its contour; in the case of thunder, a holt of lightning streaks from one area to another. The rest of the events are quite similar in both phenom ena: (1) air is superneatea ana expanded, (2 a shock wave is formed, and (31 a noise is heard Man-made thunder may also be created by F-101 "Voodoo's" in our Air Force. As one of our planes races across U.S. skies at speeds of around 760 miles per hour, intercepting a potential at tacker, this is what happens: A wall of air builds up in front of the plane. 2. If it could appear visible. the wall would be thick as it is BASIN BRIEFS Discrimination Bill Approved SALEM (UP1I A bill aimed at reducing discrimination in Ihel state apprenticeship p r n g r a m passed the House Friday and went to the Senate. Rep. Robert Packwood, R-Port land, said out of 2.01)8 appren tices, three are Negroes. Hr said the bill would set up a system of registering for anyone warning to he an apprentice. In an attempt to find and deal with discrimina tion cases. It also would require posting nil apprenticeship openings. Hep. Edward Whelan. D-Port-land, said it should have been "much stronger." Auxiliary To Organize The organization of an auxil iary of the Klamath Basin Sheep Producers will be conducted at a luncheon on Thursday, May 2, at 1 p.m. at the Pelican Party Room. The purpose of the organization is to promote the use of lamb and wool. The promotion work done in the Basin by the associa tion and other groups has been very effective and has attracted the a'tentinn of slate and nation al sheep producers groups. It is felt that an auxiliary can help urcfllly with these and other ac tivities. Any women intei-esled may re ceive more Information or make reservations for the luncheon by calling the reservations commit tee. Frances O'Connor. Merrill; Mrs. Ivon Trapp. Henley; Mrs IKinard Will.

Two or even three waves slap loudly against the land. A shock wave can be visual ized if one thinks of the waves created by a speeding boat By nature, shock waves are strongest at their point ot ori ginthe interceptor's nose. When the plane slips below supersonic speed, the waves travels forward and away from the interceptor. It becomes ball-shaped and very rapidly weakens as it is incorp orated into the atmosphere. Naturally, to be heard, t h shock wave must travel all the way from the altitude of the plane to the ground. Because of this, the wave is greatly reduced in strength. (It has often trav eled five or six miles in space. I There are many elements that have affected the sonic boom be fore you hear it. Mountains, clouds, the temperature, and hu midity rob some of its power. After hitting the earth, it is lur- ther obstructed by such things as trees, buildings, cars and out door -movie screens. Usually a cool, crisp, cloudless dav promotes the intensity ot a sonic disturbance. Most oi me supersonic aircraft flying over this area will be at altitudes in excess of 35,000 feet. Sometimes you will hear two booms shock waves can also emanate from the tail portion of jet fighters. Sometimes no boom will be heard at all; other times some will be more audible than others weather conditions play an important role. If possible, supersonic nignis are directed away from residen tial areas. Not all flights can be so directed. Swift interceptors of the Air Defense Command guard the nation against possible ene my attack they challenge every unidentified airplane crossing the nation's borders. Often the fast est wav to the invader is by way of large coastal cities but the enemy is not going to tell us when or from where he is com ing. Can the boom cause damage? Yes. Occasionally minor damage is done. If It is proved through in vestigation that a military plane caused damage to civilian prop erty, the government will pay for it. But there is an important thing to remember: A shock wave must travel less than 250 feet from the aircraft to inflict struc tural or major damage to build ings or homes. To cause such damage is almost impossible. The aircraft, as staled, will be flying at approximately 35.000 feel from the ground. Now, what happens to the aver age homeowner when he hears a loud, explosive noise? Take the homemaker. lor in stance. One of the first things she may do is run to the base ment expecting the furnace to have blown up. No change ... the turnacc is (ine. She dashes back up the stairs, the help of Paul Monroe, who was passing by, removed tractor parts and other items. Joe Mol lette, a neighbor, came by with his Jeep and pulled it from tlie parage. The car was completely destroyed. takes a quick look at the rooms she's hurrying through scurries outside expecting to see smoke pouring out of her neighbor's basement window. No smoke. No thunderstorms Nothing. She sees other homemakers standing bewildered on their front lawns or porches. She has heard a sonic boom "Surely." she thinks, "a noise like that must have caused some damage." So, this starts a chain reaction whereby the whole lam ily can get into the act. The house is checked thorough ly for broken windows, cracked plaster, damaged dishes and broken mirrors. Nothing again. Everything is OK. She calls the fire station, news paper office, broadcasting sta tions, police, civil defense, may or, or nearest military base. She wants an explanation. What was the damage inflict ed? A few jangled nerves, per haps. And, occasionally a plaster crack widens as a result of the sharp report. Pressure, not noise, causes damage. The loudest thunderclap ever recorded by man generated pressure of about one-halt pound per square foot. The sounds normally heard in a noisy boiler factory are one pound of pres sure per square foot. The main difference is tnat one sound is heard periodically and unexpectedly; the other is a con tinuous blast not nearly as notice able (unless, of course, you live next to it.) i Scientists have experimented with the sounds produced by su personic airplanes and have de rived the following: At an altitude of 10,000 feet 10 pounds (ps.f.) of pressure is produced; at an altitude of 25.000 feet five pounds (p.s.ft.) of pres sure is produced. Remember, 35,000 teet is the usual altitude of a supersonic jet fighter or bomber. Can these thunderclaps cause real damage? No, not a bit. Can they break windows? Yes, sometimes they do, but not ouen. Can they scare the daylights out of us? An unqualified yes. Seventy (70) pounds of pressure is needed to do structural dam age to the flimsiest of construc tions. This is 65 pounds more than normally observed from a sonic boom. Other examples are: Flimsy building, 70 pounds (p.s.ft.); brick or frame bldg., 150-300 pounds (p.s.ft.); glass i well mounted), 18-70 pounds (p.s.ft.). City Briefs The boom force on a building is actually less than a good, stiff windstorm. A jet flying super sonically may aggravate plaster and mortar cracks; the sonic dis turbance does not have a pressure to cause the flaws. An F-104 jet fighter once flew supersonically 280 feet from a mountain top. It caused a boom of 33 pounds pressure per square foot. That was the strongest boom ever recorded from an airplane. The air defense mission of the Air Force does not include that type of flying. Tax dollars pay the costs of protecting America. Those dol lars come from civilian and mil itary paychecks. The Air Force MR. AND MRS. BOB ROB BINS have returned from a five- month winter vacation. They spent three months at the Mesa Terrace Mobile Estate in Yuma and one month at Parker Dam on the Colorado River. They also stopped at Las Vegas and Reno on the way home.

The cost of thoroughly investigating such claims amounts to over $80 in tax money. Let's face the facts. The boom, undesirable though it may be, is progress. It's here until some thing better is developed. Super sonic flight has been fully incor porated into today's weapons sys tems. The sonic boom is your assur ance that you are protected by trained men using the finest equipment in the world. The air craft are not flown as tinker-toys. They are deadly weapons systems manufactured to destroy the ene my and his death-dealing pay load. The incidental sonic booms they trigger, therefore, can thankfully be referred to as a sound of security! Driver Killed ASHLAND (UPH - George H.
