Y The five million pages of papers cover all of the late President's life from an announcement message written by his father a few minutes after his birth to what are believed to be the last words he wrote "Let us go forward with strong and active faith. Boa Constrictor Roaming Colorado Plateau Country fasti Rnck. Colo.. Mar. 21 (II Pi Ranchers of this high alti tude cattleland were convinced todav that a tropical Boa con stridor is roaming their range- lands, One was pretty sure that the boa, which kills by crushing its victim in its coils, had atiacKea nnp of his cows. The ranchers were pretty cer tain of how the boa arrived from the tropical Jungles to the wild west. Eteanad From Truck A boa was among several tro pical snakes that escaped three years ago when the menagerie trnrk nf a trave ine carnival were Involved in a collision near here. No one took time to look for the snattes since it was oeneveu that they couldn't live for more than a couple of days in the sub zoro temperatures and arid con ditions of the high plateaus. But, the ranchers said today, the boa apparently survived. "How any tropical snake could live at an altitude of close to 7.000 feet is fantastic," said Rancher Norman Smith. "But there definitely is a boa constric tor here and its on my place." Wide Track Seen Smith said he has seen a four Inch wide track In several places on his land. He and his ranch hands tried to follow the marks but couldn't find the snake's hiding place, he said. Sheriff John Hammond said a rond worker told him he saw the constrictor crawling through the sandy loam near whpre the highway crew was working re cently. The road man said the snake was "about six Inches in Saucer Mystery Talk Subject At Meeting The mystery of the flying saucers was ''cleared up" by Manville Heiscl, Medford attor ney, at a meeting of the Medford Toastmastcrs club here Inst night. Leaving technical terminology to the scientists, Heisel said his theory Is that the "ghosts" in the atmosphere are four-dimensional, and he pictured a cone which disappeared through "recession" rather than flight, giving an il lusion of motion. Other speakers Included Rich ard House, who bewailed the tendency toward regimentation: Cliff Oulett, who spoke on the gradual disintegration of consti tutional rights: Jim I.andgon, speaking on "Spring Is Spning." and Henry McCullough, discuss ing the "Egg and I." E. T. Hamilton, deputy gov ernor of the Toastmastcrs Port land district, was a guest. Easter Seal Drive Progress Satisfies The first week of the annual Easter Seal sale of the Oregon Society for Crinnled Children and Adults has been "most sat isfactory," Jesse Ropenhaum, LaGranrie, soclctv president, has advised Mrs. C. B. Partch, Med ford, Jackson county chairman. Rosenbaum said statewide re sults "are such as to give us everv encouragement that the society's program will be car ried on without curtailment dur ing the coming year." All coun ties. Including Jackson, are meas uring up to pre-campaign hopes, he reported. The society president urged the 3ft county chairmen in the state to "exert every effort dur ing the next three weeks so that the children's hospital school, the craft shoo for the handl rapned and other projects of the Easter Seal agrnov can face the future with confidence." 17 Pow.ll at Market LOCATED IN THE CENTER Of SHOPS AND THEATERS diameter. The snake drew considerable attention after another rancher, Ed Campbell, reported that one of his cows suffered long gashes in tne loose lotas ot us throat last week. The gashes, said Campbell, could have been caused by the constrictor. Can Freesa Solid "I'm not satisfied that it wasn't," he said. In Denver. Zoo Superinten dent Clyde Hill said it was "un reasonable" that a boa could sur vive the winters in Colorado. He admitted that "an alligator, also a cold-blooded reptile, can freeze up solid and then thaw out." Forest Highway Agreement Reached Portland, Ore., Mar. 21 (U.R) The U. S. bureau of public roads has reached an agreement on the forest highway nroeram for 1050 with the state highway depart- ineius ana iorest service offices in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. W. H.
