In September 1861 a little group of Bactrian camels from the Gobi desert, Mongolia, were driven from San Francisco to Nevada where they were used for transportation purposes on the Comstock Lode.

N-X WILL TAKE Til PLAYER SELECTED BY Just a big little thing to remember The Pursuit of Happiness is a wonderful institution, and we're all for it but not at 65 miles an hour ... or 70 ... or 80. Not nowadays, anyhow. The Call of the Open Road is another grand American in stitution, and at the very core of our business but the small voice of Safety must get atten tion first. Particularly now! To you people who are our friends and customers, we have no intention of preaching. You know this post-war situation as well as we do. Yet we'd like to remind you of one thing which, when you climb into the old bus and head for the far away, it's verv human to forget very, very, very human. - No longer can you depend on your own skill as a driver to keep you out of trouble. No longer can you depend on your own car to pull you through every split-second, hairline situation. Your reactions and your car's may be as fast as ever. But what about the other fel low? Maybe he's not the driver he was four years ago. Maybe that heap of his is really ready for the boneyard. Maybe his tires are only ten miles from a blowout. One other thing it's easy to forget is this. In the months to come everybody must read just to new and snappier gaso lines . . . new and snappier cars . . . new and slightly different tires. You'll do it all right. But to must other folks! Maybe this era of mechan ical uncertainties will spread caution in such a way that we'll never go back to those days when highway casualties made peace deadlier than war, and more of our people died behind the wheel than behind guns. We hope so, don't you? t (lag wfth 4 itorr, V owardtd to our Richmond Rtfacrr Darrell Riggs, captain, and left end of the Medford high school football team, was chos en athlete of the month for Oct ober by a special committee of the Medford Athletic Associa tion Saturday night. Selection of the athlete of the month, either amateur or profes sional with the stipulation that the feat for which he is select ed be accomplished in Medford. will be made on a year-around basis by the association with an award card to be presented. Riggs was selected on the basis of his generalship and playing ability in steering his team to the pinnacle it has reached In state prep grid cir cles. Numerous letters received by the committee named several Medford high grid players for the honor of being the first splected but Riggs received the majority of supporters. The sporting public is invited to submit selections for the athlete of the month, mailing them to Harry Chipman, sports editor, Mail Tribune, by the 10th of the month for the pre vious month's selection. MASK SOS FOR DAVIDSON BATTLE The Gray Mask, one of the most hated grapplers ever to set foot In the Medford wrestling ring, has signed a contract with Promoter Mack Lillard to face (Blood and Guts) Davidson in the top half of a double main event at Medford armory Thurs day night.

Ashland Man Wins Prize in Lamport Big Buck Contest S. R. Morris, Ashland, won first prize for the largest mule tail deer to be entered in Lam port's Big Buck contest, which concluded recently. The animal weighed 233V4 pounds. Largest blacktail deer was entered by Milton Gordon, Cen tral Point, and weighed 194V pounds.

Pictures of all contestants were taken and are available at Lamport's store, it was announced. Harry Chipman Mail Tribune Sports Editor This old malarkey about where the district 2 football playoff should be held seems sort of silly to us since Medford is the defending champion. If any team wants to argue Med ford's right to the crown, let them come to our field and fight it out. Why drag the champion to the far corners of the state for a game with every club with a record of no defeats In their own back yard? Of course, we feel Portland has a right to the state cham pionship game. Inasmuch as the metropolis will draw a much larger gate and result In a size able cut for the participating schools. Comparable records between Medford and North Bend should offer no trouble In helping the officials to make up their minds who the district 2 chamDion should be. North Bend beat Grants Pass 27-7. Albany 27-0 and Coos Bay 25-0. , Medford wolloped Grants Pass 73-0, Al banv 68-0 and Coos Bay 40-0. We feel the same way about any proposed playoff between Medford and Grant of Portland should Medford beat North Bend. Taking the champion to Portland to play the strong Grant eleven would undoubted ly draw a huge crowd to Mult nomah Stadium but would make the chamnionship game, also billed for Multnomah Stadium, nnti-climatic. Medford is a ble drawing card In Portland and we feel their annearance in the hits citv should be saved for the tit'e affair. Hood River looks like the big favorite to gain a berth in the finals and probablv would not draw as much against Medford at Port'nnd as would a game be tween Medford and Granf. But since Portland wants the cham nlonshiD game, we feel they should willingly give up the semi-finals to the other schools Darticinatinrr. Medford could nack about 7.000 peonle into the local stadium against Grant while the same game in Port land would draw about 25.000 But, should Medford beat Grant and play Hood River in Port land, we doubt the game would draw 10,000. Are they playing the game to determine a state football champion or to sink money in their coffers? FEW TfCKETS LEFT FOR EAST-WEST GRID GAME A few tickets from the block of 100 on the 50-yard line for the East-West football ' game at Kesar Stadium, San Francisco, were left today, E. C. (Jerry) Jerome said this morning. Any one desiring tickets Is asked to contact Jerome at once since un sold tickets must be returned to Shrine headquarters In San Francisco soon.

TO BE IN BLACK FOR FIRST Washington U.R Federal crop insurance may run in the black financially this year for the first time since the govern ment offered it to farmers In 1939, according to J. Carl Wright, manager of the pro gram. Insurance against weather, ln sects, disease and other hazards was revived on three crops wheat, cotton and flax after s tworyear lay-off of federal In surance. . Congress killed crop Insur ance in 1943 after early ven tures, covering cotton and wheat, proved too costly, run ning in the red more than $S7, 000,000 over a five-year period. Wright said the 1945 insur ance probably will come out on the profit side of the ledger un less flood or frost bring unfore seen losses during harvest. The Federal Crop Insurance Crp. expects to take a considerable loss on cotton policies, covering about eight per cent of the 1945 crop, but probably will take money on spring wheat and flax. Policies were written for vir tually all of 164,444 applicants Cotton led the list of insured commodities with 95,756 appli cations. There were 14,390 ap plications for spring wheat in surance, 31,131 for flax, 10,603 for corn and 12,564 for tobacco. Corn and tobacco insurance was on a trial basis. In 1947, In surance will be extended to citrus fruits, potatoes and pea nuts, also on a trial basis. Three new crops may be add ed experimentally each year, and after three years, with con gressional approval, continued permanently. Rates offered by the revived FCIC are about 10 per cent higher than under the old money-losing program. Blaze Brought To Waiting Firemen Upper Sandusky, O. (U.R) It's a new one when firemen are ready and waiting for a fire to come to them. But It happened when a blaze started in a carload of baled hay at Kirby, O. Firemen were asked to "meet" the blaze at the Pennsylvania sidetrack. Meanwhile, a locomotive snaked the burning car onto the main track and made a swift run Into Upper Sandusky, where local firemen made short work of the blaze.

London U.R) The Manches ter Guardian reports that the new rector and pro-rector of Heidelberg University, Ger many's oldest, have hopes and plans for rebuilding university life, but that the Job Is one they think will take years to accom plish. At present there are only stir rings behind the ancient walls, the newspaper adds, with 300 doctors taking a refresher medi cal course, but the two men hope that medical training for 1,000 students will begin shortly, with the theology department soon following. The Guardian states that the new rector. Dr. Karl Heinrich Bauer, is one of Germany's most distinguished surgeons, coldly re garded by the Nazis, but allow ed to go on teaching, while the pro-rector, Dr. Fritz Ernst, had managed to avoid membership in oie party. As quoted by The Guardian, Dr. Ernst says that the real prob lem of Heidelberg and all Ger man universities will be to start from the very beginning, teach ing the actual habit of thought, He pointed out that Nazis dis couraged and disliked independ- Military Insignia and Warplanj Buttons!!
