THE BEND BULLETIN The Bend Bulletin, Thursday, June 21, 1956 He Used fo Raise Catfle Now Has a 'Human' Ranch By DON H. HK10INS 4iill.tln Stuff Writer COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -J. .Selby Young is a sturdy, brown eyed man of SO years with stubby fingers tliat look strong. He oper ates a human ranch. It used to be a cattle ranch. He was born and grew up here and makes a lot of money. " Selby looked up In mild surprise when: I interrupted our interview on his favorite subject with this abrupt question: "Are those your own teeth?" " He seemed a little uncomfort able,' but he has a lot of poise and he said yes they were his own teeth. "How many fillings do you have?" I inquired : Selby said a little impatiently he had one filling, his teeth were sound, he could crack nuts with them and did I want him to show me? - ' Never Hurt Him '. "No," I explained. "The reason ;i asked was that I knew you grew up drinking fluoridated water and I wondered if it ever hurt you any fend if it helped in making strong teeth." ' "It did," said Selby Young, "and 'It npvpp hurt me anv." So we resumed his favorite sub ject of busy, prosperous Colorado Springs, the city that started out by selling mountain air and just about nothing else. - Selby Young is one of the big wheels of this metropolis which now boasts about 61,000 residents nnrt 'minnph outside the nerimeter to make 100,000. It expects 135,000 by 1960. When J. Selby Young bawled his POLIO TAKES A LICKING There were at least 75 per cent fewer cases' of polio among children . vaccinated' with Salk polio vaccine last year than among unvaccinated young ten, according to Surgeon General .Leonard Scheele. Dr. Scheele recommends that vac cination programs continue all summer to give best possible protection. way into the world 50 years ago mere were s.uuu residents oi uu- lla f unnnn" ns thp tnwn WAfc fhpn affectionately called by a number of Britishers wno uvea mere.

What nf it? What am I trvinc to prove off here 1,200 miles from home? Why ain't I back in Bend picking up local items like I'm supposed to be doing instead of writing about some tycoon in Colo rado Springs who is making a lot of money running a human ranch? It's like this: I'm on vacation. Came over here to see my son. who is a light colonel m me Air Defense Command. (A "light" colonel is a lieutenant colonel and is written "Lt. Colonel" and yoll can't pronounce "Lt.," and "lieu tenant" Is too long to say. so tney call them "light" colonels. Easy does it.) Robert W. Chandler, as editor ,! tuihluiixr nf The Bend Bul letin, fixed it up so I could make this visit. Then, thinking as presi dent of the Bend Chamber of Com merce, he mentioned in an off hand way that it I found some ex tra time I -might drop in on j. Selby Young, an old friend of his. and pick up a story on the pro motion of Colorado bpnngs irom a small town into a city. Called Illm l'p Then he gave me three days of extra time in addition to what I had coming, and said not to both er about the story unless it was I felt like 1 ought to I use an hour or two of it with J. Selby Young, anyhow, and caneci him up and made a date. We met in the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, a piusn outfit full of sloeans. secretaries, Hirwtnrs and oamDhlets.

I knew he didn't get any as a chamber of commerce worker. He admitted to being a Kina oi rancn ni rattlo ns a sort of hobby thing, but said he made his money ranching humans.
