3 Jumpers Dropped
On Klamath Forest
Three jumpers were dropped
Monday on the Klamath National
Forests, the only forest fire of the
week to call out the Siskiyou
Aerial Project crew.
Wednesday the observation
plane was attempting to locate a
fire believed to be in the vicinity
of Gold Beach. Poor visibility ham­
pered the attempt to pin-point the
suspected blaze. Jumpers were to
be dropped if the fire was located.

Outweighed and Outnumbered IVHS
Meets Redmond Under Lights Tonight
Smith Names Starting
Lineup for Opening
Contest of Season
3 New Bridges
Planned for '199'
Outweighed 18 pounds ta the
man. the IVHS football eleven
tackles the Redmond Panthers in a
non-conference opener at the nigh
school field under the lights start­
ing at 8 p.m. tonight (Friday).
Coach Stan Smith has been em­
phasizing pass defense with his
squad to stop the double wing pass­
ing offense of Redmond which has
accounted for most of its scoring
so far in the season. Redmond beat
Sacred Heart of Salem 13-0 and
tied with Bend in the Central
Oregon jamboree.
Small in both weight and num­
bers, the local boys will face a team
sporting four linemen over 200
pounds which, unlike IVHS, has
sufficient depth to make use of the
double platoon system.
Employing a straight T-form-
ation the offense of Smith’s
charges is built around the full­
back, who is Warren Cook.
The probable IVHS lineup for
this first contest of the 1952 seas­
on as announced by Coach Smith
is:
Left end, Mel Barton; left tack­
le, Orlen Pickle; left guard, Rich­
ard Bliss; center, Wayne Spencer;
right guard, Arnold Mellow; right
tackle, Hubert Blue; right end,
Bob Kester; quarterback, Stanley
Campbell; left half, Doug Plumlee;
right half, Louie Watson; fullback,
Warren Cook,
Pickle will captain against Red­
mond.
Also slated to see action are
Stanley Dick, Larry Maurer, Jack
Cooke, Earl Reinoehl. Joe Spal-
inger and Ko Krauss.

Highway 199 between Grants
Pass and the California border is
scheduled for three new bridge*
and some major maintenance work
within thè next five-year program
of the state highway commission.
In a report to thè county chani-
ber of commerce, Ralph Moore of
Grants Pass, of the interim com­
mittee of the state highway com­
mission said the Applegate river
bridge and two ‘199’ bridges in
the Valley are slated for replace­
ment.
The three structures will be re­
placed as soon as engineering work
is done and steel assured.
The report conceded that High­
way 199 is carrying a larger load
than for which it was designed.
In addition to bridge replacement
moderate re-surfacing and widen­
ing at strategic places is planned.
The bridges over both forks of
the Illinois have been the scenes
of many accidents lately. The west
fork bridge is but 17-feet wide,
hardly enough for safe passing of
two vehicles.

ter Copenhagen, and from Stock­
holm the four flew to Helsinki
where they spent the next three
weeks attending the Olympic
games.
“It took one hour for all 60 par­
ticipating countries’ athletes to
march into the huge, 70,000-seat
stadium.
“While the Olympic torch was
being lighted, a 300-voice choir,
dressed in Finnish costume, sang
the Olympic hymn. The whole cere­
mony lasted about two and a
half hours and it rained all the
time,” Miss Peterson said.
ENJOYED TRACK, BOXING
"Of all the events, I enjoyed the
track and field and the boxing
the most. While the papers in the
U.S. were filled with the attitude
of the Russians, we observed them
all to be good sports, very polite.
All of them looked older, on the
average, than any of the ather
participants, but perhaps they ju»t
looked that wav. The Russians and
the Hungarians were the only
countries who had bodyguards for
their athletes.
"We saw the Russian-USA bas­
ketball game—over half of ou
men towered over the Russians! I" ”
Flags from all the nations »ur­

The girls had the opportunity
to speak with six Olympic partic­
ipants from India, one of whom
who had been in the 1948 Olympics
in London. He told them the hous­
ing and food were better in Hel-
siki than they had been in London.
In Helsinki the athletes were hous­
ed in “Olympic Village”, with spe­
cial quarters having been construc­
ted for tha men (The Russian con-
tingent was the only group not in
the “Village"—they arrived at the
games each morning by bus.) The
press occupied all the hotels in the
i ity of Helsinki, so spectators had
to be housed in private homes.
"The people of the city were just
wonderful to us,” Miss Peterson
said.
LOSES BAGGAGE IN SWEDEN
After the games had ended, the
girls backtracked ti> Stockholm
and from there to Copenhagen. In
the process, Miss Peterson’s bag­
gage was left in Stockholm and
the loss wasn’t discovered until
she arrived in Copenhagen.
“What a problem! I had to find
a person who could speak Swedish,
Danish and English so a telephone
call could lie placed to the depot.”
Miss Peterson exclaimed. “I finally
found a girl who could speak the
three languages well enough to
be understood, but my baggage
couldn’t be located, so I had to
fly back to Stockholm where I
found my luggage myself.” She
explained all the many invaluable
color films she had taken of the
Olympics and the trip so far were
in the stranded luggage.
Germany, Switzerland, Italy and
Fiance in that order completed
the four girls itinerary. They found
the most bomb damage along the
Rhine in Germany, but found that
country one of the best of the
eleven they visited.
RAW MILK COMMON DRINK
“The only place in all eleven
countries where we found bot-
tied milk stamped ’pastuerized’ was
in th American zone in Germany—
elsewhere the only thing we could
get was raw milk.” She explained
that they were advised not to
drink the water in several of the
countries they visited.
