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.
LEWIS IRKED BY
WASHINOTON, July 18. Labor's
non-partisan league, headed by CIO

hour bill.
The CIO leader went to Uie capltol
twice to exert personal pressure for
passage of the measure and, frustrat
ed, asserted angrily that there would
be reprisals at the polls.
The list Included names of several
men whom the A PL has endorsed.
The league, spokesmen said, nas
rated congressmen "A", "B", "C" and
"D", according to their labor views.

OF
Conference Here. Will Have
General Discussion Of
Aeronautical Topics In
stead Of Set Speeches.
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.
It la expected also that part of tli.
program will be aevoted to the i
oently-created federal civil aviatlo:
authority, Mr. Banwell said.
With the general committee ui
llmlnary meeting completed, arrange
ments ior me Med ford confer ,
are now entirely In the hands of tin
commltttes here, Mr. Banwell related
Ho said he would call a meeting t
all committee chairmen this week
after he had completed some corr
pondence suggested by U:e Portland
Bcsslon.
At the Portland meeting E. O. Har
lan, manager of the Boise, , Idaho.
Chamber of Commerce was elected
general chairman for the conference
here.
"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. I think we shall have the
best program of all the conferences
thus far held provided It Is carried
out properly. It Is now entirely up
w me committees here in Medford
to put the conference over. I am
sure It will be done."

Motoring Home, Roy Kelly
Sees Fire In Dry Kiln
House At Medford Cor

To a fortuitous circumstance Chief
Roy Elliott yesterday attributed the
saving of the Medford Corporation
from destruction by fire.
Shortly after 11 o'clock Friday
night Roy E. Kelly, employe of the
company, was motoring to bis home
In Central Point. As he passed he
glanced at his place of employment
on the North Pacific highway. He
saw fire In the dry kiln office
where electric instruments are hous
ed to register moisture and other
data.
Kelly dashed to the Pine Cone
and telephoned Medford fire head
quarters, A ward alarm was quickly
sounded and the firemen raced to
the scene, fearful of a fire that
would wipe out the company's build
ings and lumber yard.
Meantime Kelly had darted from
the Pine Cone to the company
plant, unwound a hose line and
was fighting the blaze himself when
the firemen arrived. Loss was con
fined to the dry kiln office.
Chief Elliott said the fire was
probably caused by something de
fective In the electric system. The
chief was generous In his praise of
Kelly's prompt action.
