Bowles, Oregon division IWL president, will be taken on a tour of the upper Rogue river Wednesday. . The jaunt will be made with the present hopes for flood con trol measures and with past pro posals for development of Rogue basin water resources in mind. Irrigation district and power plant turbines at Savage Rapids ana ooia nay aams ana n uie Ideal Cement company hydroel ectric facilities will be visited. Col. Paul Weiland, Medford IWL state director, and Cole Riv ers, Grants Pass, district fish bi ologist of the Oregon State game commission, and possibly others will take Pringle and and Bowles on the Rogue trip.

Pringle was elevat ed to the presidency after having served as chairman of the IWL national executive board. Jackson county Waltonians have expressed their favor to ward Rogue flood control but are opposed to any multi-purpose de velopment plan which would mean the end of salmon and steelhead runs in the river. Prin gle is expected to hear the views of members of all three chapters on the matter. Unscreened turbine intakes have been listed as possibly the No. 1 factor in decline of salmon and steelhead runs on the Rogue. Ideal is making prep arations now for screening in takes at its plant.

Sparta Buildina Phone 3-4564 Sunday, June 10, 1958 Fanfare Efforts of Frank Mprris, for mer AU-American track star at Medford high school, to over come the crippling effects of polio and return to topflight hurdle competition were related in some detail last week by Al Gould in his Campus Canvass column in the Oregon Journal. The Journal sportswriter de scribed Morris as "quite an ex ample for the faint of heart. Said Al, "He's giving it a big battle. Even if he never makes it all the way back to his goal, his perserverance in winning his lonesome personal battle will have won him fully as many admirers as did his tremendous competition on - the track in earlier days." Morris, who finished Medford high in 1951, set state records of :14.4 and :19.3 in the high and low hurdles for the Black Tor nado. He set the state AAU prep marks of :14.7 and 20.1. From Medford hS went to University of Washington where as a fresh man he -won both high and low hurdles in the Northern Division. Frank then transferred to Ore gon and it was during his year of ineligibility that polio struck. LEG MUSCLES DAMAGED The star athlete recovered from the illness but the mus cles of his legs, particularly the right, were hit. Many thought his track days were over. Not Frank. Gould re ported that Morris' gutty try. through fierce determination and personal sacrifice, have carried him a long distance toward recovery but that, even now, after hours of driving himself over the track and working out constantly, Frank is still far short of his goal of returning to rivalry on top flight level. His right leg, lead leg for hurdling, didn't have the re - action 'speed of his Medford high and Washington hurdling days. Gould said that Morris is spending most of his time at the high jump pit now and clearing 5 feet 9 inches con sistently. His leg isn't quite the handicap it is in hurdling. "In years to come," Gould concluded, "he might well be wiped off the books (by hav ing his records broken) but he'll not be forgotten. Fight ers like that live forever and are never forgotten." FISH STORY This is a fish, story we've been holding on to for some time: Ivan Ekberg of the radio sta tion KYJC staff knows how to catch that fish that got away the other fellow's fish. 'Angling with Orville Pettijohn on Rogue river one day this spring, Ekberg brought in a trout with a hook and leader in its mouth. The two went on another occasion to their fishing spot above Gold Hill. Ekberg caught another fish with a hook and leader in its mouth. They went a third time to the same place and the same thing happened. Each time the trout was eight or nine inches long. Ekberg swears that he kept the fish each time and that it was the same trout grabbing' his hook. PUTNEYS TO BEAVERTON Jim and Henry Putney, twins and third baseman and pitcher for Medford high school, were to leave this week end for Beaverton where they will make their home and attend high school next year. The two appeared at Roseburg on Fri day in the only Legion game they'll play in for Medford this season. Both will be much missed by the Legion squad this summer and by the Med ford high teem next spring. They will enter Beaverton high as seniors. DAVIES MOVING Mr. and Mrs. W. W.
