Jacksonville Youth in Navy
Visits Scene of Early W ars
Jacksonville, Nov. 20. (Spl) A recent letter from Preston
Card, Jacksonville boy who graduates December 1 from the
mechanics-woodworkers school at the naval station in Norfolk,
Va., tells of an interesting trip made by a group of navy boys
At Newport News he saw the
great shipbuilding- yard in
which the "America," largest
ship ever planned in this coun
try, is under construction. Next,
the group visited the Mariners'
museum, near town, where
models of boats from the earliest
type to the present liners are
on display along with navigat
ing instruments, firearms, fig
ureheads, pictures and some
parts of the ship "Bounty," of
mutiny fame.
Williamsburg was then vis
ited, the group inspecting the
oldest academy building in
America and also one of the
Rockefeller homes. Rockefeller
is spending some $13,000,000 in
restoring Williamsburg to its
colonial day appearance. Much
of the restoration has been com
pleted, according to Card's let
ter. The navy boys then visited
Yorktown, scene of the revolu
tionary battle between Corn
wallis and Washington. Trenches
and breastworks have been re
built, the old cannon are in
place, and the house which
Cornwallis used as headquarters
still stands with a cannon ball
imbedded in one wall. The old
est house in Yorktown, dating
back to 1600, still stands. It is
of brick, as are most of the
others in the ancient city.
Langlcy Field, big army air
base, was next visited by the
navy boys who saw one of the
huge bombers, termed a "flying
iortrcss," and so large there was
no hangar capable of shelter
ing it.
Next stop was at Hampton
where the boys viewed the old-
Albert Ballc, Eugene, driving
Just behind him, became con
fused by a large bus he was
meeting and una i idably struck
the cyclist. He died before he
could be treated at a hospital,
est public school in America.
From there they went to Fort
Monroe where President Davis
was imprisoned for two years
after the Civil war.
Returning to the Norfolk sta
tion the boys saw a beautiful
sunset from their ferry, the
golden colors tinting part of the
fleet and some old freighters
mchored in the distance. The
scene, according to Card's letter,
was much like those filmed by
James A. Fitzpatrick for his
travelogues seen In the picture
shows.
Hopes of a Christmas at home
were shattered for the Jackson
ville boy when he was chosen
from his graduating class to be
student instructor for the next
class, concluding January 28.

rnent of timber sales from Oregon-California
land to be ap
plied to the Oregon-California
land grant delinquent taxes for
the year 1936. was received to
day by County Treasurer Ralph
Sweeney. The money will be
segregated and distributed to
the county general fund and
school district fund as specified
by law.
This is the second federal
check received this month by
Jackson county for Oregon-California
land grant payments.
The first amounted to $32,295.91
as the county's share of money
paid this year on timber sales.
Mrs. R. L. Isaacs, of Jackson
ville highway, recently disclosed
the following adventure with
bears, experienced by her son,
LeRoy Isaacs, 15-year-old Med
ford high school student.
LeRoy, his father, R. L. Isaacs,
and uncle, G. D. Isaacs, were
hunting soon after opening of
the deer season, and the young
ster had been stationed on a
ledge of rock as a "lookout."
According to Mrs. Isaacs, her
son, who is rather small for his
age, was quietly meditating on
how he would bring down a
deer should one appear at close
enough range, when he suddenly
heard a rustling of leaves and
saw a mother bear and her cub
emerge from the brush. The
pair stopped directly in front
of him.
' As the season wasn't open on
bears in Jackson county LeRoy
didn't dare shoot. And to add
to the predicament he immedi
ately suffered a nauseating at
tack of buck fever, that strange
malady which smites hunters,
both old and young.
Realizing that something must
be done quickly as a bear with
a cub is extremely belligerent,
tne Doy managed to get his
tongue unglued from the roof
of his mouth and give voice to
a series of yells which would
have done credit to a Comanche
Indian.
The bears, apparently much
frightened by the noise, turned
tail and scampered down the
mountainside.
LeRoy, though sorry he could ;
not bag the brutes, felt lucky
to have escaped an attack by)
the mother bear. I
