EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Red Cross Tea Given at Home In Eagle Point Eagle Point The American Red Cross of Jackson county gave a tea at the home of Mrs. John N. Winton on Long Moun tain road October 5. Mrs. Frank Fairweather spoke on home service responsibilities to the members of the armed forces and their families. Man- ville Heisel, fund chairman, said that the Red Cross hoped to raise $30,000, the money would be used for the bloodmobile, the mo tor corps, first aid, Junior Red Cross, staff aide service, the blind, the nursing service, chron ically ill children, the aged, and the baby and home nursing ser vice. This work is partly carried on by the Grey Ladies, who also do much work at Camp White, writ ing letters for the ill, and teach ing crafts to the handicapped and blind. Their work is volunteer, and without enumeration. A committee was chosen to so licit in the Eagle Point district. Mrs. Frank Hopewell, Mrs. O. W. Turnquist, Jean Hugo, Mrs. Don Pulley, Mrs. Nat Etzel, Mrs. W. H. Lemmon and Mrs. Mark Hoefft are the workers. Mrs. E. A. Littrel is chairman of all volunteer services. It was pointed out that if the Red Cross had to pay for the blood that was used in this county this past year, it would have exceeded the $30, 000 they are striving to obtain this year.

Mail Tribune Managing Editor For many years people in the Illinois valley, and in the Apple gate area, particularly the Wil liams creek drainage, have want ed a short-cut between the two sections a road which would also provide a route from Med ford to Cave Junction through the Applegate valley. They have long pointed out that it is only a few miles from a forest road along Grayback creek, just north of the Oregon Caves, to the paved road which runs far up the west fork of Wil liams creek. Made Trip I made the-trip last week, in the company of Curt Nesheim, warden for the southwest Ore gon district of the state depart ment of forestry, who has charge of forest fire protection for much of the area involved. From Cave Junction, we drove toward the Caves on Highway 46 to a point just beyond the Gray back Forest camp of the Siskiyou National forest. Here we turned to the left, following along Gray back creek on a forest road. For several miles the road was high type forest road; later it narrow ed and became rougher as we en tered an area used almost solely by logging trucks. When we were well into the hills, we came to a recently logged-over area, with the main logging road going one direction, and a steep, dusty, and recently gouged-out "Cat" road going up hill the other way. We took the uphill road. Cleared Ridge For perhaps a quarter-mile, we bumped and jounced upward, then found ourselves on top of a cleared ridge, the line between the Grayback creek drainage and the west fork of Williams creek. Another quarter - mile, and we were back on a well graded log ging road twisting down through virgin stands of timber. In a few miles more, we came out on pavement, and returned to Medford by way of Williams. Provolt, Applegate, Ruch and Jacksonville. ' The entire round trip was made in one afternoon. The "Cat" road connecting the two logging roads has been there for sortie time, apparently a cas ual connection between two log ging shows, but in recent years it was unused and impassable. Re cently, however, one of the log gers, at Nesheim's request, ran a 'dozer over it again, making it passable to standard vehicles at least until the rains come. This was done for fire-control pur poses. The trip cannot be recommend ed or a family car. It's a difficult to find unless one knows the Central Point Circle Plans Harvest Festival Central Point The Second Annual Harvest Festival will be held by the Women's Christian Service circle of the Presbyterian church of Central Point on Fri day and Saturday, October 12 and 13, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The sale will be held in the for mer pharmacy building in Cen tral Point and will feature fancy wark, baked goods, plants, rum mage, and harvest goods. v - A -V .fir.

RIVERSIDE MEDFORD "Your Appearance Is Our Business" Sunday, October 7. 1958 From Oregon Caves proper turns; it's rough and dusty; on week days the roads have heavy logging truck traf fic, and after a rain it is doubt ful whether even a four wheel drive rig could get over it. Basis for Future But the road is there, and it may serve as a basis for future development. Only about 15 mil es of it is unpaved, and only about five miles is less than good standard forest road.

Remedial English tests, an an nual event at MHS, were given to the seniors last Monday in the school auditorium. Students took the exam with little hope of passing it, but with a curiosity as to what material the remedial course dealt with. Since this was the main object of the test, students didn't feel too badly when they had completed the exam and felt sure they had failed. Senior counselors were busy people before and after school this past week. Seniors were getting their graduation petitions filled out so that they will be able to graduate next spring.

According to a rough speedometer check last week, the distance via the hill route is 59 miles, so even with a straighter route, the distance sav ing would be little if any.
