PAGE NINE CASEY STATE PARK EXPECTED TO BE Greater Use Is Foreseen As Improvement Program Advances at Recreation Center On Rogue River High School News by STUDENT REPORTERS (By Bill Ctplw.) Thl morning at 9 o'clock, 83 mem ber of the Medford high football tam, with Bill Bowerman, head coach, and the team managers, left on a chartered Greyhound but for the annual game with the Rom burg Indiana. The bua waa rented by the Med ford high achool especially for transportation of the team. Cawy state park, on the Crater lake highway, has become an Important recreational area during the past year aa a result of the lncreaee In the number of persons seeking outdoor recreation and the work performed by a group of CCG enrolleea In pro viding facilities to make the park unable. Until last year, the area had for many years been operated a a pri vate resort. Facilities Installed by the private operator Included picnic tab lea, benches, cabins, a store and a res taurant. Acquisition of the area by the state for use as a state park made the present CCO activities pos sible. The COC work Is being done under the general supervision of the national park service In cooperation with the Oregon state highway commission. Although other tracts are owned for state park purposes, the Casey area constitutes the only state park de velopment In Jackson county. Bor dering the Rogue river and surround ed by steep wooded hills, the park is one of the most scenic In Oregon. Be cause of Its scenic charm, together with good trout and steel head fish ing In the river, Casey state park of fers exceptional recreational oppor tunities. Extensively Used Tt was extensively used during the 1037 season by picnickers en route to and from Crater lake national park and by people of nearby com munities. Approximately 30 per cent of the visitors were anglers and. their families. The park visitors frequently numbered 200 a day. Park officials believe that this number will be greatly Increased as the park becomes better known and as the Improve ments now underway are completed Tentative plans for the COC pro gram of development In Casey state park call for the removal of certain of the old buildings and their replace ment by more park-like structures. New picnic tablee and benches made of heavy-hewn timbers are to replace the present crude tables In the picnic area which covers approximately 15 acres of choice grassy woodlands. Camp fireplaces are planned to elim inate the present open fires which constitute a forest fire hazard. To complete the program, a nature trail that will afford access to Interesting points In the park may be built. 4 (Br Barbara temmon.) J. W. Balrd. representative of the National Asoclatlon for Fire Preven tion, spoke before a student body as sembly In the auditorium of Medford senior high school, October 6. at 10 o'clock, to impress upon the students the need of national observance of Plre Prevention week. The speaker brought attention to the fact that over 10,000 lives are lost and three and a half billion dol lars worth of property destroyed an nually by fire. This, he stated, was due to carelessness and the tendency of people to become panic stricken when there Is danger. He told the assembly that the his tory of Fire Prevention Week goes back to a day some years ago when 138 school children were killed by fire. The fire chief of that city took It upon himself to institute a week each year during which all people should be fire conscious. This week Is still observed and in time, accord lng to Mr. Balrd, will cut down the loss of lives and property. As an appropriate ending for the assembly. Mr. Smith, high school principal, had the entire student body practice evacuating the assembly hall in a fire drill. The student Dooy cleared the building In two minutes. (By Ula Henderson.) Have you seen the beautiful young redwood tree on the front lawn of the high school grounds? Sequoia Sempervirens is its botanical nam; it stands a tall and stralgt ever green among the deciduous oaks. It la a tall and tapering single- trunked tree with many small branches which bear cones on the tics of their flat-leaved branches. The redwood forest near Crescent City fostered the tree which was brought here in 1908 by Rev. John K. Harwood. It was then six and one-half feet tall and 14 years of age. It Is very unusual to see this type of tree growing in the warm interior melons, for their natural home is along the cool, fog-covered coast. The name. Sequoia sempervirens, was derived from Sequoia the name of an educated Cherokee Indian, who invented an alphabet for his tribal inncnmcD. and semoervlrens two words, meaning always living.

Lewis will gather leaders or his committee for Industrial Organ! aatlon about him next week to tal- Inventory and devise new strater for the bitter fight with the Ameri can Federation of Labor. His chieftain said the conference was intended primarily to canvatt the organization's work and "con sider reports upon its administrative affairs and policies." but there ap peared little doubt today that the CIO hoped to match any public at tention attracted by Its bitter rival for labor supremacy. Green Denoupnced Lewis, In a New York speech Mon day night, opened this campaign b;. denouncing some accusations of Wil liam Green, federation president, c "nothing more than a politic? '. wheeze." He contended "there Is no securlt. as far as economic peace Is concern ed' In the action of some corpora tions he accused of signing workei employer agreements with the AF1 to avoid negotiations with the CIO. Lewis leaders, discussing actio, they make take next week, profess: little concern over the possibility that the A. P. of L. might decide to expe; unions which bolted to Join Lewis. "We are a going organization al ready and we don't care whether the;, expel ua or not," one of Lewis' aide said. In contrast to the present Denver convention of the A. P. of L.. no government spokesman has been in vited to speak. J. Warren Madden, chairman of the labor relation, board, addressed the federtlon at Denver Tuesday. Few Spokesmen Lewis, John Brophy, director of the C. I. O., and Sidney Hlllmen, chair man of the textile workers' organiz ing committee, probably will be the only speakers. Nearby will be such other leaders as Philip Murray, chairman of the steel workers' organizing committee; Homer Martin, president of the Unit ed Automobile Workers, and Harry Bridges, director of the committee's west coast maritime organization work .

The world's reputedly tallest hu man he stands eight feet six Inches In bis stocking feet and weighs 425 pounds alleged public scandal and ridicule, disgrace and publlo hatred, contempt and aversion had been heaped upon him as result of the article. He filed his suit In circuit court where some day he hopes to appear is a practicing lawyer. A copy of the article in the Feb ruary 13. 1937, Issue of the Journal which discussed his case so candidly was attached to the bill. The American Medical association article, written by Dr. Charles D. Humbert, Barnard, Mo., and filed with the complaint, said in part: "His expression Is surly and Indif ferent and he Is definitely Inatten tlve, apathetic and disinterested, un friendly and antagonistic. His fre quently votced plaints are 'It's not my fault that I am this way,' and 'I didn't have anything to do with my getting to be like this.' His soured attitude has embittered him very much and he Is Introverted and morose." SALEM. Oct. 8.
