Cavemen Tighten Defense
for Third Go at League
Leading Tornado Quintet
With two victories over Grants
Pass already under their belts,
Medford's basketball squad again
will clash with the Cavemen at
8 p. m. tomorrow on the local
court in a benefit game for the
Infantile paralysis fund. .
Although 50 per cent of the
net proceeds from the game will
go to the polio fund, the contest
is part of the regular schedule
and will count in the Southern
Oregon conference standings.
Seek Thirteenth Win
The undefeated Black Torna
does go into tomorrow night's
game with a record of six con
ference and six non-conference
wins and no losses and by the
book should have little trouble
with the third place Cavemen,
As pointed out by Coach Al
Simpson today however, Grants
Pass took two straight from
Klamath Falls 1 over the week
end. Members of the Medford
squad who attended the encoun
ter Saturday night reported the
Grants Pass zone defense was
clicking much better than ear
lier m the season and might give
the Tornadoes some trouble to
morrow night.
Ross Will Start

Evan on the West Coast
where so many people help
build ships and man them it s
no easy task to picture ocean
shipping these days. It's like
trying to keep, up with the
astronomers and their million
billion distances.
What can give anything so
big its sense and direction?
Well, just think of a man with
a wheelbarrow. Before the war,
Pacific Coast ship operators
were men with amphibian
"wheelbarrows." Somebody
would say "Deliver this flour
or "Move those bricks." Then
they had a job. Often they had
to trundle their "wheelbarrows"
home empty.
Then came . the war. Ship
ping expansion was terrific.
New ships poured from the
ways in hundreds. But they
didn't start to pay off until they
began hauling the stuff. That's
where the ship operators came
in. They had the stamina and
the managerial know-how re-
3uired when Uncle Sam sud
enly needed everything deliv
ered everywhere.
What a job they've done!
Yet, today, that job is bigger ,
than ever. We're at Japan's
door. But that's so far away it
takes, roughly, three ships to
"git thar" with the goods that
one ship could deliver to ear
lier, nearer battlefields. Japan's
hope is that it can't be done.
Ship operators know they have
the answer Can do! in team
work. Already this teamwork has
done wonders. To achieve it,
ship operators have submerged
their identity and passed up die
chance to receive personal cred
it. No longer can you tell which
man, which company or which
"wheelbarrow. But, whoever
or wherever, the American peo
ple realize no team ever made
better record.

Enter Crater Park
ostwar Vacation
Advice in C. S. Monitor Article
XEd Note: The following ar
ticle on Crater Lake Park which
appeared recently in the Chris
tian Science Monitor, was writ
ten by Miss Jeunesse Butler of
Medford, under the pen name
M. LeTour.")
Here is a scenic spot to Jot
down in that postwar vacation
notebook: Oregon's Crater Lake
National Park, situated in the
southern part of the state.
As a matter of fact, those in
the Pacific Northwest who are
within legitimate traveling dis
tance from this park will be in
terested to learn that it will be
opened -this year for the first
time since the start of the war.
Officials say plans now call for
the official opening about the
end of June the park to remain
open for three months.
In prewar days not only was
Crater Lake park a haven for
summer visitors, but during the
winter months it afforded ex
cellent snow facilities for ski
enthusiasts. However, the park
will not remain open during
the winter - months until after
the war.
Chief attraction for the sum
mer visitor to the park is Crater
lake, on the very crest of the
Cascade mountain range, in the
heart of Mt. Mazama, an extinct
volcano. Destroyed many years
ago, when the top apparently
was blown off, a vast crater was
left which gradually accumu
lated water. - The lake is six
miles wide, 2,000 feet deep, cov
ers an area of 20 square miles,
has a shoe line of 26 miles, and
cutis that rise from S00 to 2,000
feet above its surface.
Lake Delights Visitors
It matters not the number of
times one gazes into the depths
of this moody blue water, there
Is always fresh interest and de
light in revisiting Crater lake.
visitors to the lake are inter
ested in the Sinnott Memorial,
where daily lectures are given
and exhibits and relief maps
help them to understand and ap
preciate the scenic and natural
scientific values. In the writer's
opinion, no one really has seen
Crater lake until the rim drive
has been taken.
High point of interest Is. of
course, the ancient volcano's cra
ter known as Wizard Island, a
cinder cone rising 776 feet above
the lake's surface. It may be
reached by boat. The crater it
self is 95 feet deep and 460 feet
in diameter. Phantom Ship (it
seems to disappear with certain
climatic conditions) is a little
island resembling a ship under
sail.
For perhaps the most inspir
ing view of the lake and sur
rounding region, the visitor may
ascend Garfield Peak, 8,060 feet,
reached by trail about one mile
east of Crater Lake Lodge, The
Pinnacles, slender pumice stone
columns, some of them 200 feet
in height, are located in Wheeler
creek near the east entrance of
the park.
Operated on Wartime Basis
During the past three years,
the park has been operated on a
wartime basis, with a very lim
Ited staff for providing mainte
nance and giving protection
from fire. Despite this shortage
of help, however, there has been
a large number of visitors, states
Superintendent Ernest P. Lea-
vltt. These visitors all came by

automobile and included many
of the armed forces.
With no public service during
the war, officials at the lake say
there have been no complaints
from visitors. Limited accom
modations were and will be syll
able at adjacent points, such as
Union. Creek, Fort Klamath, and
Diamond Lake. ' Some visitors
prefer remaining at the large
points such as Medford or Klam
ath Falls. Many visiting the
park last season were engaged
in war work, traveling from one
point to another, making the de
tour in order to include the
lake.
The public camp grounds con
stitute the present accommoda
tion, but after the duration the
lodge again will be open, also
the cafeteria and several types
of cabins. Accommodations vary
as to kind and price. Postwar
plans also include the resump
tion of other accommodations,
such as bus and boat service,
lodging, meals, and so forth.
Of historic, scenic, natural
scientific, and geologic interest,
Crater Lake National Park may
well be included in future trav
el plans.. Serving the park, the
Southern Pacific's railheads are
at Klamath Falls and Grants
Pass, Ore. Auto stages make
connections daily at both cities,
from July 1 to Sept. 19. For
automobiles, the west and south
entrance roads are maintained
all year as far as the rim of the
lake, the north and east en
trances being closed to traffic
during the winter. At Medford,
Ore., the park's gateway to the
west, is the airport of. United
Airlines.

HELD FOR HOUR
FOR F.D.R'S
Los Angeles, Jan. 29 (U.R)
If the streamliner City of Los
Angeles doesn t arrive here on
time loday, it won't be the fault
of Col. James Roosevelt because
the hour and seven minutes lost
waiting for the president's eldest
son to arrive in Chicago Satur
day night were made up by the
time the train reached Cheyenne,
Wyo., railroad officials said.
Col. Roosevelt and his wife,
who were returning to the west
coast from the inauguration,
were traveling on a Pennsyl
vania train which was more than
six hours late,
Someone wired ahead to
Union Pacific officials who or
dered the train with its 300 pas
sengers held so the Roosevelt
party could make connections.
However, no one seemed to
know who ordered the stream
liner's delay. Chicago and North
western officials, who handle
the train out of Chicago, said
depot officials ordered it held
but they didn't know who gave
the order.
Roosevelt denied he had asked
that the train be held and Penn
sylvania officials said the con
ductor of their train, had made
no such request.
More Experiments
Needed On DDT For
Service To Public
New York (U.R) Although
uui; tne most potent insecti
cide ever discovered, is living
up to military expectations,
much testing remains to be done
Before it can be released for
public use, J. A. Jenemann, sales
department manager of the Du
Pont Co.'s Grasselli Chemicals
department, told the National
Assn. of Insecticide and Dixin-
fectant Manufacturers recently
"We do not .know enough to
answer these four essential
questions for the postwar buyer
How shall it be modified to
be suitable for the householder?
What is it good for? How is it
usea7 What precautions, if any
are required?" Jenemann said.
He reminded the manufactur
ers that DDT Is made up for the
armed forces in six different
compounds and never used in its
pure state. DDT compounded
with other materials Into dusts,
solutions, suspensions, emul
sions,, aerosol mists, and pastes
are possible forms lor consumer
use which must be thoroughly
investigated, he said. ,

Keep your pipe clean.
Change pipes dally so they
can dry out.
Don't knock out ashes by
Banging your pipe against any

Face Paint Helps
To Conceal Yanks
From Enemy Guns
Jersey City, N. J. (U.R) Be
fore the war young men may
have been annoyed by painted
faces, but today, as soldiers,
they are grateful for face paint
which helps to conceal them
from the enemy.
The paint is manufactured In
stick form, fitting in a metal
tube one inch in diameter and
three inches long, and comes in
loam color blended with green,
white or sand, depending on the
type of terrain where the sol
dier is fighting.
Upon application, the face as
sumes a dull hue which will not
reflect light, as untreated skin
would. The paint contains In
sect repellent and will not come
off in rain or through perspir
ing, but is easily removed by
soap and water.
The Quartermaster Corps has
purchased more than 4,000,000
containers during a recent three
months period, according to
David P. Davis, procurement
