Marilyn . Cordy, Bill Charley
nd Patsy Charley, Central Point,
and Nyla Murray, Medford, have
taken into their homes 4-months-old:
puppies which, after a year's
training by the youngsters, will
be shipped to the guide dog
school - for the blind at ' San
Rafael, Calif. The pups were do
nated by Mr. Larry Turner of
the Ore-Cal Kennels, Central
Point. 1 . . '
To Learn Commands
While they are in the homes
of the 4-H members, the dogs
will learn the basic, obedience
commands ordinarily taught
dogs, except that they will not
be trained to heel,- as a dog
trained to heel can not be broken
of the habit.
The youngsters are raising the
dogs as a public service project
in their 4-H club work. If a dog
should fail to pass the require
ments of the school, the person
who raised the dog has the r;ght
to receive him back if he so de

their services to see that the
dogs remain healthy.
At No Cost
' William Johns, executive di
rector of the guide dog school,
states that the dogs will be given
at no cost to some blind person
who can make use of them in
furthering his productivity in
the community. Any person who
could make reasonable use of a
guide dog is eligible to . make
application to the school to re
ceive a dog. All services of rais
ing and training the dogs are
donated by various individuals
and groups.
Another pup is being raised by
Grace Smith, 1288 South Colum

now being made to place some
pups in the Ashland-Bellview
area, according to Glenn Klein,
county 4-H club agent.

older people interested in par
ticipating in the program may
obtain more information from
the county agent's office.

week. At the first sale, some 75
lumber firm representatives, 12
of them from companies in Oro
ville, Happy Camp, Yreka, and
Medford, attended.
Estimates Vary
Various estimates of the am
ount of fire-damaged timber to
be put up . for. sale have been
made, some of them running up
to a total of 400,000,000 board
feet.
Lumber interests in Jackson
county have shown considerable
interest in the salvage timber
sales in northern California, it
was reported last week. Bid in
formation was distributed to a
number of firms, and many of
them were planning to send rep
resentatives to the sales.
One of the big difficulties in
the way of local companies, how
ever,, is the distance of the tim
ber from local mills, resulting
in considerable transportation
expense. The availability of the
northern California timber is ex
pected to make some difference
in log supplies here, but it was
pointed out that the overall ef
fect would not be too great, since
Jackson county's annual cut in
recent years has ranged be
tween 500,000,000 and 700,000,-
000 board feet.
