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

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. 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,

this year. The bloodmobile will
be in Trail October 9, and in Ea
gle Point October 10.

MAIL TRIBUNE
Trip Made
Into Applegafe Area
Br ERIC ALLEN JR.
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

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. All
petitions .must be returned by

rough speedometer check last
week, the distance via the hill
route is 59 miles, so even with a
straighter route, the distance sav
