Boys to Remember
Camp Experiences
By DICK LAMB
District Executive
Crater Laic Araa Council
Another season has ended for
the Scouts of the Crater Lake
Area council at Camp McLough-
lin. Lake O Woods.
In the years to come, more
than 600 boys of the council will
look back on the weeks spent at
camp. For some, the memories
will be of the first meal in Elk
Lodge. They will remember that
Paul and Francis Throne were
the cooks again, and if anything,
the food was better than ever.
Safety Rules
Others will remember rather
seriously some of the rules for
safe hiking procedures after the
experience one week of two
boys being confused and spend
ing a safe but exciting night
away from camp and on the trail
after they failed to follow in
structions. They will remember,
too, such simple things as the
sun sets in the west, and how
to tell directions from a watch.
Six hundred Scouts will re
member this, and some day, it
may pay them a rich dividend.
Other Scouts will remember
their pleasant hours on the lake
under the able supervision of the
waterfront staff. They will re
member how Leon McDougall,
the waterfront director, told
them the rules for safe swim
ming and boating; how Wilson
Gilinsky, Wayne Breeze, and Bob
Paine spent nearly all of the day
light hours working with them
to teach them to swim; how to
save the lives of others, and how
to maneuver a boat or canoe. In
years to come, these things, too,
may return great dividends.
To Remember Campfires r
All of the Scouts will remem
ber the camp fires. They will re
member such things as the open
ing ceremonies, when Larry
Hammond, dressed, in full Indian
regalia, addressed the four
winds and as if by magic, fire
came to the fire lay. They will
remember the skits put on by
John Grubb. and what a good
sport John Van Dyke, the camp
clerk, was when the staff put on
some of its stunts.
They will all remember the
Saturday night Courts of Honor
where those Scouts that had ad
vanced in rank were recognized
for their efforts. J. A. McDou
gall, the Council Scout commis
sioner was present for most of
the courts, and served as the
chairman of the Court of Honor.
Sing of Old Smoky
The Scouts will also remem
ber the fun they had singing.
Even now, many are still sing
ing about a mountain called Old
Smoky, that Jerry Sliger, the
rifle instructor taught them and
led from time to time.
Their memories will include
the men and young men who
served on the camp staff. They'll
remember them as one of the
finest groups of young men ever
brought together. Dick Clark,
Jim Gordon. Bob Glover, Mike
Barnum, and Mike Forbes are a
few of them. Dennis Patton.
Brian Schroeder, Jim Boyd and
Glen Allison are others. All of
these young men worked for six
weeks to provide an exciting,
worthwhile and enjoyable ex
perience for these Scouts from
Yreka. Cave Junction, Grants
Pass. Etna. Mt. Shasta, Pondosa.
Medford and all the other parts
of this Crater Lake Area council.
Many Activities
There will be hundreds of
memories hikes up Brown
Mountain and Mt. McLoughlin,
learning S handle and shoot
safely a .22 rifle, how to shoot a
bow and arrow, the experiences
at the handicraft area where
boys learned to make things and
express themselves, and learning
the phases of Scoutcraft under
the direction oi their Scout
masters.
And finally, we hope that they
will remember the words spoken
to them by the program director,
Jack Holmes, at the campfire on
the opening night that "the Law
of our camp is the Scout Law .
And we hope that they will re
member through the months and
years to follow the pledge that
they took and will take again,
that "On my honor, I will do my
best, to do my duty to God and
my country ..."
Yes, the 1956 camping season
at Camp McLoughlin has ended,
but we hope that these memor
ies and others will stay with this
600 boys and enrich their lives
and help them to grow into man
hood as good citizens of our
communities.

Hells Canyon Bill
Seen If Adlai Wins
Salem-jll.BSen. Wayne Morse
(D-Ore.) said Friday that if
Adlai Stevenson is elected presi
dent "Hells Canyon legislation
will be put through Congress by
March 15."
Morse, on a campaign tour
calling for 14 to 17 stops a day,
told a coffee hour audience that
there was also the possibility of
favorable court action to "save"
the Hells Canyon site for federal
development. Idaho Power Com
pany is currently building
Brownlee dam in the Hells Can
yon stretch of the Snake river.
Morse said he favored con
struction of John Day dam on
the Columbia by the Klickitat
county PUD, providing the fed
eral government could not build
the project. The Klickitat group
announced it was filing for a per
mit to construct the dam.

ILLINOIS VALLEY
Storms Said Spectacular
By FRANK STRICKLAND
Cave Junction An hour after
sunset Monday this valley was
treated to a spectacular electri
cal storm. Coming as a thunder
head from the southeast, dark,
swirling, clouds quickly encir
cled the region, promising the
first rain of the season. Blinding
ribbons of forked lightning shot
from heavens to hills. Some cou
rageous citizens watched the
show through dark glasses, while
we timid ones sought cover from
the unpredictable electrical
charges.
When the upsurging clouds
merged overhead and the elec
trical display faded out, resi
dents settled down to enjoy a
typical Oregon shower, which
was scarcely enough to lay the
valley s dust.
Earth-shaking explosions heard
south of Cave Junction's business
district last week came from
blasting out the fourth and last
bedrock excavation preparatory
to pouring foundation for the
midstream pier on the new High
way 199 bridge crossing the east
fork of the Illinois river.
Extensive improvements and
drainage along "Old Stage
Road," now an improved resi
dential street in Cave Junction,
are nearing completion. The
"road," which parallels Main
st. three blocks east of the city,
was once the only north-south
passage across the Illinois valley
and was used by stage coaches
between Grant Pass and Cres
cent City, Calif.
Spitz field, a Veterans of For
eign Wars recreational park two
blocks east of Cave Junction
business district and off State
Highway 46, has been prepared
to accommodate the crowds ex
pected to attend this region's 16th
annual Labor day celebration.
Row after row of concession
stands have been- set up under
huge shade trees. A concrete
dance platform occupies the
park's center, with a small recre
ational field and grandstand to
the north. Many games, contest,
and exhibitions have been added
to the festivities since the official
program was brought out. The
celebration will run the first
three days next month.
Wooddy's Farm and Garden,
one of this valley's feed and seed
stores, located at Cave Junction,
announces thrice-weekly veteri
narian service from the store.
Drs. Robert Lee and Leonard
Wood of the Pacific Veterinary
hospital at Grants Pass will be
on call from the store Mondays,
Wednesday and Fridays each
week.
Two of Cave Junction's super
markets have improved their
store fronts recently with new
porches. The Illinois Market, op
erated by Homer Smith and Bill
Carter, recently installed neon
strip lighting, while Charlie's
Market on South Main, operated
by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Liss,
erected a rustic veranda with old
fashioned "hitching" post
Clifford, Nate and Oscar Sar
gent, 50, 73, and 53 respectively,
of Coquille, Ore., were arrested
by Cave Junction police and
tried Monday on drinking and
traffic violation charges.
The brothers were fined and
their car impounded and sold
locally by order of Municipal
Judge Paul Glines. The driver,
Clifford, was operating the ve
hicle while his drivers license
was in suspension. According to
the court this was his third traf
fic violation since his operators
licenses was picked up. He was
fined $154 for Monday's viola
tion. Nate, registered owner of
the automobile, drew a $25 sus
pended fine as did his brother,
Oscar.
Fire Wednesday destroyed the
Southern Oregon Archery Sup
ply Co., at Kerby, two miles
north of Cave Junction. The fac
tory, owned and operated by
Claude Reinholdt, manufactured
archery equipment and supplies
which were shipped to dealers
throughout the U.S. According
to Cave Junction police, who
went to the fire to direct traffic,
the loss will approach $35,000,
on which there was no insurance.
Our social correspondent,
Frieda Thayer, left Wednesday
to take over a job not too often
held by a woman. Frieda took
off early for Serpentine Peak,
some 25 miles from Cave Junc
tion, to "man" the fire lookout
tower for the U.S. Forest Serv
ice. According to Frieda, she has
done this kind of work before
and thoroughly enjoys the lonely
vigil, which keeps her up in the
air for as long as three months
some seasons. At times she has
occupied a small "crow's nest'
atop a tower on the summits of
southwestern Oregon's highest
ranges. While doing her lookout
stints, the only contact she has
with the outside world is two-
way .voice radio. Her only com
panions are wild animals includ
ing chipmunks, which she much
prefers over the average run of
the lot. When asked what she
does in spare time up there
Frieda said, "train chipmunks.'
Leslie Pearson of O'Brien,
eight miles south of Cave Junc
tion, swerved his automobile to
avoid another car on the Illinois
River hill south of the business
district here Sunday, and over
turned his '56 Buick, completely
wrecking it. Pearson and a man
whose name was not learned
were severely shaken up, but
neither suffered serious injury.

Neuberger Asks Indian Hearing
Portland (U.R) Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger has requested the
Indian Affairs subcommittee of
the U. S. Senate to hold a hear
ing in Klamath Falls sometime
in October on the reservation
termination program affecting
the Klamath Indian tribe. Neu
berger is a member of the sub
committee. "Unless Congress puts a legis
lative brake on this whole hasty
proceeding," Neuberger said. "I
am convinced that great damage
will be done not only to the
Klamath tribe, but also to the
entire economy of southwestern
Oregon. It is obvious that the
vast ponderosa pine timber stand
belonging to the Indians must be
kept in sustained yield, under
some form of government super
vision. Otherwise, it might be
gutted and looted, with resulting
disaster to watersheds, wildlife,
and the people, both Indian and
White, of that area."
Neuberger expressed hope that
the Senate committee could
come to Oregon after a meeting
on Indian problems to be held
under sponsorship of the state's
religious leaders on the Willam
ette University campus in Salem
Sept. 27. He said conclusions of
the church group might be of.
benefit to the Indian affairs sub
committee in analyzing the
Klamath termination question
and the issues at stake.
