MAIL TRIBUNE
Turtles Once Harvested Here
The Mail Tribune's recent Sunday picture pages
with snapshots of earlier day people and scenes of
the Medford vicinity created a great deal of interest
and brought the offer of many more pictures than
we were able to publish. Also quite a few were
brought forth from old albums and other filing places
too late for inclusion in the feature. Among the
latter were two or three which started the news staff
searching back into local history for information
concerning an industry which flourished here over
fifty years ago.
fNE of the pictures shows a large number of
turtles in a pen which was located on the old
Potter-Palmer place, now known as the Modoc or
chard, near Bybee bridge on Rogue river. Gazing
at the huddled reptiles are a number of townspeople
who had gone to the spot, to enjoy a picnic and to
inspect pens where the turtles were kept until ship
ped out. Although the people in this picture are not
identified, another picture shows Miss Tex DeBar,
daughter of an early day Jacksonville doctor; Mike
Hanley, son of the first Mike Hanley that settled
in the. Rogue valley; and the late Mrs. M. L. "Mose"
Alford. Herb Alford, her son, long-time resident
of Medford, recalls the picnic and the picture taking.
Miss Claire Hanley, president of the Southern
Oregon Historical Society, who loaned the Mail
Tribune the pictures, thinks they were taken around
1900. She vaguely remembers her aunt, the late
Alice Hanley, telling her that large shipments of
turtles were made to Italy where they were fattened
for eating purposes.
Although the turtles found in this region are prob
ably of the edible variety, there is no record of their
having served such purpose locally.
"VTHER descendants of early day valley residents
were able to supply a few additional details con
cerning the turtles. Mrs. J. S. Richardson, daughter
of the S. M. Nealon family, which settled in the
Table Rock region many years ago, recalls that there
were large numbers of turtles in that vicinity in days
gone by, that the slough on her parents' ranch har
bored many of the reptiles and that a man made
regular trips to the spot to capture them. This man
told the Nealon children that the smaller turtles were
sent to San Francisco where they were mounted on
pins to be worn by fashionable ladies of that day.
O. W. Ike Dunford of
told about making a trip to Squaw lake in 1906 to
plant trout. The party made the journey on horse
back with pack horses carrying the fingerling trout
in big cans. The going was considerably rough, Dun-
ford stated, for the road had not been built at that
time. On arrival at the lake the trout planters found
the water teeming with turtles.
Curator Myrtle P. Lee of the Jacksonville Museum
has searched the back files of newspapers published
around the turn of the century in Jacksonville and
Medford but failed to find any mention of com
mercial shipments of turtles.
THE shell-bearing reptiles are few and far be
tween around here nowadays. Occasionally one
will be seen floating in a slough, backwaters of the
Rogue or some creek. They are very seldom glimpsed
on dry land. -
Whether the shipping operations cleaned out the
once flourishing turtle population to such an extent
that it was never able to regain its former numbers,
or later conditions hampered turtle life, could not
be learned definitely.
The Mail Tribune will be glad to receive any
further details of the turtle roundup which long-time
residents or their descendants may be able to sup
ply. E.C.F.
More Forest Funds Urged
Representative Harlan Hagan of California in
seeking an increase in appropriations for mainten
ance of recreational facilities and for the administra
tion of timber sales in the national forests, has called
attention to a situation long in need of correction.
The California congressman in a statement pre
pared for the House appropriations committee, de
clared that increases of $200,000 for recreational ac
tivity and $800,000 for timber sales as proposed in
President Eisenhower's budget are less than the
amounts needed.
He pointed out that funds for sanitation and clean
up work and for maintenance of existing improve
ments in the national forests have not kept pace with
the increase in the number of visitors.
THERE are many good reasons why more funds
A should be made available for Forest Service use
as advocated by the Congressman. For the past sev
eral years it hasn't been possible to make the additions
and improvements needed to keep up with the great
ly increased public use. In fact, it hasn' even been
possible to employ sufficient manpower to keep ex
isting camping and recreational areas in satisfactorv
(condition.
Many of the campground facilities once available
have fallen into disrepair and in some instances a
health hazard has resulted.
TI7HEN it is considered that government timber is
fT bringing higher prices than probably ever be
fore, that many bids must be processed in almost
every instance where stumpage is put on the auction
block, that huge sums are being realized from such
sales and that the public lands constitute a valuable
asset both in the way of recreational opportunity for
the people and as a revenue producing source, it does
seem , that a more generous share of that revenue
should be plowed back to the ultimate benefit of all
concerned. E.C.F.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Let's talk for a moment today
about little things such as colds
in the head.
Ike has SLIGHT SYMPTOMS
of one, so he called off (un
doubtedly on OR ELSE orders
from his doctor) all his morning
engagements including a ses
sion with Republican congres
sional leaders.
In London, a slight cold pre
vented Prime Minister Church
ill from attending the Lord
Mayor's luncheon welcoming
Princess Margaret back from
her recent trip to the Caribbean.
That also was undoubtedly on
flat orders from Winnie's phy
sician. TlfHY this extreme solicitude
" as to the health of the Pres
ident of the United States and
the Prime Minister of Great
Britain?
Well, it's like this:
When you get as important as
President Eisenhower and
Prime Minister Churchill you
mustn't trifle with your health
because you must keep at TOP
EFFICIENCY all the time. You
must remember that your job is
to make TOP DECISIONS upon
which the lives and the fortunes
of millions of people hang.
If your decisions are to be
RIGHT, you must keep in as
sound physical and mental con
dition as is humanly possible.
VJ7HEN you get to be as im-
" portant as President Eisen
hower or Prime Minister
Churchill, you must realize that
your life no longer belongs to
you alone.
It belongs to ALL THE PEO
PLE. lyiTH that out of the way,
'let's consider for another
moment the stock market,
which is presently under in
vestigation by an able commit
tee of the congress.
Why the investigation?
The answer is simple. It tracks
back to an ancient proverb: "The
burned child avoids the fire."
Back in 1929, we. got our fin
gers terribly burned. The scars
of ,that frightful burn are not
yet wholly healed.
, We don't want . to get them
burned again. -
"T ET me repeat what has been
said here before.
Wisely and ably and honestly
managed security markets are
INDISPENSABLE in our Ameri
can economy. They make it pos
sible for the people to invest
their savings in shares of owner
ship in our great American cor
porations. In no other way can
the best sums needed as capital
by our great industries be pro
vided. .
In no other way can OWNER
SHIP of our great corporations
be scattered among ALL THE
PEOPLE instead of being con
centrated in the hands of a
FEW; as is the case in too much
of the rest of the world.
RUT-
Unavoidably
Two elements are involved
in the purchase and sale of
shares of ownership in Ameri
ca's great industrial enterprises:
1. Wise and sound investment
of savings.
2. Enhanced capital value of
the shares that are purchased.
"DOTH are important.
Savings must be wisely and
soundly invested if SAVING is
to be profitable. Enhancement
of the capital value of what you
own is highly desirable. When
you buy a house, you want to
feel that its value will increase.
But
If you buy a house and later
sell it at a big profit, you run
the risk of becoming so en
tranced with the idea of getting
rich quickly and easily that you
may be tempted to quit your job
and start buying houses and sell
ing at a big QUICK profit
and without much work.
That's gambling.
TACK in 1929, we became en
tranced with the idea of
buying stocks low today and
selling them high tomorrow. As
a result, too many of us quit
our jobs and became speculators
(which is a more polite word
for gamblers.)
Everybody knows what hap
pened. We don't want It to happen
again.
Hence the present concern
about the stock market, which
has been rising so steadily over
so long a period of time as pos
sibly to tempt too many people
to try to get rich quick by spec
ulating. Court Records

Dulles' Warning To
Chinese Communists
Tops News for Week
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
The week's good and bad news
on the international balance
sheet:
THE GOOD
1. Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles gave the Chinese
Communists a grim warning of
febffl! what, thev mav
expect if they
attack For
mosa and pos
sibly if they at
tack the Na
t i o n alist out
post islands of
Quemoy and
Matsu. If the
Reds engage in
"open armed
a -g g r e ssion,"
Charles McCann uuiies said in
a broadcast speech, it probably
will mean that they have decided
on general war in Asia. "The
United States," Dulles warned,
". . . has sea and air forces now
equipped with new and powerful
weapons of precision which can
utterly destroy military targets
without endangering unrelated
civilian centers."
2. The Communists suffered a
smashing defeat in legislative
elections in the state of Andhra
in India. The Reds had succeed
ed in unseating the Andhra gov
ernment, controlled by Prime
Minister Jawaharlal N e h r u's
Congress Party, on a confidence
vote. The Reds had held 45 Beats
in the state legislature, the Con
gress Party 46. The Reds hoped
to win the election and take
over Andhra themselves. Instead
they lost nearly all the seats
they had. In partial returns for
the 1 9 6-seat, legislature, the Con
gress Party had 117, the Reds
10.

A Nichol's Worth of . . .
Comment On
By HARMAN
United Press
Washington (U.R) A century
ago, folks were worrying about
the cost ofmailing a letter. Post
master Gen
eral James
Campbell had
just signed a
new p o s tage
bill. It called
for three cents
for each letter,
if the letter
didn't travel
farther than
3 0 0 0 miles.
After that it
would be 10
harman Nichols
cents.
The Comanches, Kowas and
Apaches of the Arkansas river
area received $18,000 for "the
purchase of goods."
The. Cherokees of Michigan
got a government, check for
$20.97 for "back interest."
The papers 100 years ago had
only one mention of President
Franklin Pierce. He had signed
an announcement for sale of
land in Mississippi. History
books covering that era reveal
that Jane Pierce didn't want her
husband in the President's choir.
She Hated Politics
' Jane and her husband were
visiting the graves of two of
their sons when a messenger
brought word that Franklin had
been nominated for the presi
dency. Mrs. Pierce hated poli
tics. She listened to the reading
of the notice and fainted. One
historian records that "Jane
Pierce feared that politicians
would drive her husband to
drink." There is no proof that
it did.
The attraction at the National
Theatre was "Myers and Madi
gan's Circus The Best Eques
trian Company irfAmerica." An
advertisement in one paper list'
ed the prices: "Gents with ladies
25 cents; single gents 37 cents;
family circle 25 cents; orches
tra chairs 50 cents."
Another ad said: ."Wanted, 25
good vest and pants makers."
Also of interest was a "closing
out sale of Havana cigars." It
was to be strictly an auction for

owe both ways. File your re
turn and pay your tax by the
method which costs you less.
Joint filing is generally it.
You may file jointly on any
of the three forms for individual
income tax returns; card form
1040A short form 1040; or long
form 1040.
If you and your wife filed sep
arate returns last year, there is
no bar to your filing jointly this
is evident that the internal situ
ation throughout the Soviet bloc
is bad. Following the fall of
Soviet Premier Georgi M. Malefi
kov, Hungarian Premier Imre
Nagy was accused by the Hun
garian Communist Party of "dup
ing the working classes." He
probably will be ousted. Like'
Malenkov, Nagy was blamed for
putting production of consumer
goods ahead of heavy industry.
THE BAD
1. Well informed American
sources in Tokyo were reported
fearful that a general war in
Asia may be only weeks away.
Dispatches from Washington,
London and Taipeh. Formosa,
said that Chinese Reds have
moved long range artillery and
a full air division of new Russian-built
MIG-17 jet fighters to
positions near the Nationalist
held offshore island of Quemoy
and Matsu. They said that de
spite Dulles' warning, Red Pre
mier Chou En-Lai seems deter
mined to attack Formosa.
2. A new dispute over the
Saar coal region threatens to de
stroy final ratification by both
West Germany and France of
the treaties which provide for
German armament. West Ger
many wants the way left open
for the full return of the Saar
when a German peace treaty is
signed. France wants to retain
its economic rights in the Saar.
3. Some powerful leaders of
three political-religious sects are
trying to overthrow the Ameri
can - supported government of
Premier Ngo Dinh Diem in
Southern Viet Nam in Indochina.
Dispatches from 'Saigon, the
capital, report heavy fighting be
tween Viet Nam national troops
and rebels of the sects, which
fear that Ngo's political reforms
may deprive them of some of
their ancient privileges.

Philadelphia' lager beer was
for sale at $3 per keg; quart bot

The National Era, a news
paper of the times, put its own
ad on the front page. Advertis
ing was 10 cents an agate line

A letter to the editor of the
Era began:
"I think you should publish
this letter but you are the best
judge of that."
. The writer complained about
the way the House and Senate
were "fiddling around" with a
bill that would have increased
the Army by two regiments of
infantry and two of cavalry,
plus one new brigadier general.
It would cost $2,500,000.
The letter writer was mostly
concerned about an additional
general. "We have enough of
those fellows as it is."

year. Similarly, if you filed joint
ly last "year, that does not mean
you must always file jointly.
Some Restrictions .
There are a few situations in
which you may not file a joint
return, but they apply only tc a
relatively small number of mar
ried couples. You may not file
jointly: If you were divorced or
legally separated on or before
Dec. 31; if you are married to a
non-citizen who does not live In
this country; or if you and "your
wife report your income on the
basis of different taxable years.
There are other prohibitions
which I shall come to. But first,
the argument for filing jointly.
When you file a joint return,
you add both' the husband's and
the wife's taxable income, di
vide the total in half, and pay
double the amount of tax calcu
lated at the rate which applies
to the half figure.
The tax you pay in this way is
generally less than you would
pay if you filed separate returns
and paid the full rate on the
husband's income and the full
rate on the wife's. This is par
ticularly true where the wife has
little or no income.
Dual Signatures Required
Yes, you may file a joint re
turn and use its income-splitting
provisions even if your wife had
no income at all.
If she had income of $1 to
$599.99 last year and wants the
refund to which she is entitled,
she may file a separate return
as a claim for that refund. But
you would do well to see whether
this would be better or worse
than filing jointly.
If your wife does have income
Babson . . How To Live Long
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Fla. (Special
to Mail Tribune) This story may
be valueless; or it may be most
important. It will not cause any-
one to eat less
canned or
frozen fruit
and ve ge
tables., but it
may develop a
new industry.
There is in
this village the
Florida Re-
aMXik-J search and
Borer W. Babsoa Water Com
pany. It owns the local water
company and is interested in
the study of live seeds small
enough to eat alive. It also be
lieves in "raw" water and "raw'
milk that is, pure spring water
which has not had the living
matter killed by chlorine, and
pure milk which has not been
pasteurized. It recommends the
eating of more "whole cereals,"
more "raw" vegetables, and
"raw" fruits,.: especially, those
consisting largely of live seeds,
like okra but they should be
ripe seeds; also live "sprouts and
buds."- It believes in juicing m
chines, but not for live seeds.
Let me illustrate: It is impos
sible to eat a peach -seed, and
probably unwise to swallow live
orange, acerola, or apple seeds,
unless they are ground; but ripe
tomatoes, strawberries, black
berries, blueberries, bananas,
figs, and pomegranates should be
eaten, seeds and all, uncooked.
Of course, all raw fruit and
vegetables should be carefully
washed.' The acerola berry of
Puerto Rico is reported to have
50 times the Vitamin C per
gram contained in an orange.
The second paragraph on page
59 of the Reader's Digest for
January, 1955, is thought-provoking.
Should Peas Be
Swallowed As Pills?
All agree that string beans
may be cut up and cooked for a
few minutes. Some people, how
ever, believe that sunflower
seeds, peas, small beans, nuts,
and psyllium, onion and celery
seeds should only be softened
in warm water and swallowed
like pills! The thought is that all
vegetables have three functions:
(1) Supplying vitamins, minerals,
etc.; (2) supplying much-needed
bulk; and (3) through their liv
ing seeds supplying that un
known and intangible "some
thing" known as life.
That people lived, before the
days of cooking, to 120 or even
400 years of age may have been
due to their feeding upon life.
Sufficient experiments have not
been completed to prove whether
live seeds should or should not
be eaten uncrushed, before they
are "killed" by juicing machines
or. boiling. They, however, are
part of my diet.

and files a separate return, you
may not claim her as an exemp
tion on your return. Nor may
you claim her as an "exemption
if some one else is claiming her
as one such as, if you are in
the service and she is living with
(and being supported by) her
family.
If you do file a joint return, it
must be joint all the way to the
bottom of the page. That is to
say, both husband and wife must
sign the return in the spaces pro
vided for their two signatures
(even if the wife had no income).
Both Must Itemize
If you and your wife file separ
ately, and one of you itemizes
all your deductions, the other
must also itemize. It is not per
missible for one to take the stand
ard deduction and the other to
list deductions one-by-one.
Marriage on New Year's Eve
is just as good as marriage in
June for tax purposes. Regard
less of when you were married
during 1954, you may consider
yourselves to have been husband
and wife for the full year, and
you may file a joint return.
Where does one file a return?
With the director of Internal
Revenue for the district in which
he lives. ; .
When? By midnight April 15.
When will you get your re
fund? As soon as your return can
be checked and your refund
check mailed to you. But the
sooner you file your return, the
sooner your refund will arrive,
if you are entitled to one, be
cause your Internal" Revenue
Service treats all taxpayers alike,
which means, as to refunds,
"first come, first served."
Age Has No Affect
On Life-Giving Powers
Boiling anything long enough
kills life. It is believed that
some canning, dehydrating, or
freezing also destroys this life
though not the vitamins and
minerals. However, the age of
peas, beans, and corn does not
affect their life-giving powers.
Corn kernels over 3,000 years
old, taken from Egyptian tombs,
will sprout the same as if gath
ered yesterday. It is debatable
whether we should eat raw or
cooked eggs. When I had T. B.
my doctor insisted that I eat
only uncooked raw, fertile eggs
containing life. He also recom
mended the uncooked coral of
lobsters and the live roe of fish.
All beautiful birds live only
on live seeds, live worms, and
live spring water. Their food
must be alive. The only birds
which will eat dead meat are
the horrible crows and buzzards;
dangerous insects ' and bacteria
will also eat dead things. The
same principle applies to animals
of the forest. Certain moldy
cheeses and yeasts contain life.
Live seeds in 15-cent envelopes
can be purchased at any hard
ware store.
Fish Diet Analysed;
Only Live Food Taken
Those who have seen any fish
(from mackerel to sharks) pulled
alive out of the ocean have been
impressed by their natural
beauty and proportions. When
analyzing the diet of these fish,
we learn that the smallest fish
live on minute animal and plant
life known as plankton and
algae; that the larger fish live
on the smaller live fish; and so
on up to the whale. But, all
insist their food be alive.
I am. not vouching for any
theory of life, but it does seem
as if the above evidence should
be considered when selecting our
diet. Once, no doctor had recom'
