MriHnrrt .11 3ml St., Ahlsml BESET BY SKUNK F. A. SItcox. chief of ths United Statu forest service at Washington, D. C. Friday came to the am of Ho mer Hlxon. district ranger of the Rogue River national forest at Union Creek. For weeks Mr. Hlion has been harrassed by a skunk which has tak en ud residence under an era house. How the pole cat, or Mr. Hlxon for that matter, is getting along could not be ascertained yesterday as the ranger had his hsnds full combatting forest fires. But Mr. Hlxon should feel relieved when he knows the for est ctilef Is anxious to help film. Mr. SUcox offered his help at the reauest of the Mall Tribune. His solu tlon arrived by mall Friday. The chief agreed It was an exceedingly serious case and before he reached a solution he found himself engross, ed In poetry. Here Is the result: Whenever a Ranger discovers a skunk Under his house or under his bunk, He should always send In an appeal to the Chief To furnish the means of affording relief. The Chief will at once send out an Inspector To act as the Ranger's especial pro tector. The inspector, with roving aaslgn. ment, Will get the skunk's tall In proper alignment. ' With quick eye and skilled Hand he will yank the said skunk From under the bouse or under the bunk. Will swing him around and toss him away; With alignment of tall no odor should stay, But If he la caught with some odor ous juice, Hla roving assignment will be of great use. He can rove by himself and air In great spaces Until he's prepared to Handle new cases. The Ranger, relieved of his trouble some guest. Can settle himself down and take an earned rest.

Instead of formal speeches as in the past, round-table discussions, led by authorities, will feature the pro gram of the Pacific Northwest Avis- tlon Planning Council conference here September IS and 17, It was an nounced Friday by A. H. Banwell, program chairman, upon his return by plane from Portland where he at tended a general committee meeting Wednesday and Thursday. Instead of having to sit through all the speeches as at past conferences, delegates at the Med ford meeting, may take part In only :e round table sessions In which they are In terested, Mr. Banwell pointed out. This, he believes, will create a great er interest In the conference. Tentative program Hats these topics for round-table dlscusslsn: airports, needa and classifications, location and construction, legal and legislative as pects and how PWA can cooperate; fixed base operations: feeder lines; airplane manufacturers, airline ant non-alrllno; educational side of av. atlon, amateur aircraft building aric Junior activities; private filers; an national defense.

"I am very optimistic over the con- ference," Mr. Banwell said. 'Pr pecta are that attendance will b. good and that It will be eminently successful. The substitution of round- table discussions for set speeches will be attractive to everyone Interested u aviation as each mav attend the sessions discussing the particular phase of aviation In which he Is In terested.
