Bimini, Bahamas U.R) An
Ohio fisherman failed to win the
blue marlin fishing tournament
here despite his catching a huge
445 pound fish. The winning mar
lin, caught by Victor Till of Del
ray Beach, Fla., only weighed
209. S. J. Henry, of Youngstown,
Ohio, said he was "jinxed" by
Friday the 13th, for when he

disqualified.
the discussion. International
good will stands at Medford's
doorstep."
Possibilities of such a project
include sponsorship of a sports
program, visit in home of valley
residents, trips to surrounding at
tractions, and an information
clearing-house and interpreting
service.
The Mexicans, brought there
by the fruit industry because the
local labor market will not sup
ply the needed workers, live at a
center at the Medford airport.

a flash-flood which temporarily
closed the Klamath river road
between Beaver creek and the
Walker bridge. The road was
covered by about a foot of water,
mud and debris which had
washed down from the moun
tainside all of which was an
other consequence of last Sep
tember's tragic and costly forest
fires which burned off the un
derbrush and ground covering
that normally hold the rains and
prevents the run-off.
The Forest Service reported
several small fires were caused
by the lightning, but were quick
ly brought under control.
