Eschrich ran into some gravel
and cracked up at the Pomona
Road Races the Dean fans jab
bered "Jinx." The superstitious
cries grew when Dr. Troy Mc
Henry was killed in the same
race after borrowing two small
parts from the Dean motor.
'Lot of Balony'
But in an interview at the in
dustrial hospital he runs in sub
urban Burbank the doctor
scoffed that "all this supersti
tious reaction is a lot of balony."
"The motor had nothing to do
with either accident," he said.
"A machine is a piece of equip

NEWS NOTES from
Medford High School
Edited by James Boyd; Staff:
Pat Minnis, Sharon Koch, Mike
Traris and Charley Goodman.
A bird in the power lines al
most caused one student to mus
the National Merit Scholarship
test given Wednesday morning.
The power failure the night be
fore made his alarm go off late
and he arrived 15 minutes after
the test had started-. To add in
sult to injury, his father works
for the power company.
Edward McKinstry, Medford
city engineer, spoke to a group
of students after school Wednes
day, about preparation for an en
gineering career. He stated that
the students of Medford High
are "extremely fortunate" that
Medford offers these courses in
science since many high schools
do not. i
Mrs. Frances Dempster, assist
ant to Dr. Alfred Fosdal, spoke
on the opportunities in "dental
assisting" at another of the
after-school vocational confer
ences last week. The two speak
ers are but the first of many try
ing to help Medford students se
lect a career.
Jacque Coltor. was selected as
Southern Oregon's delegate to
the Northwest Area Council at
the Hi-Y, Tri-Hi-Y conference in
Klamath Falls Saturday, Oct. 20.
She will be one of 12 delegates
seeking to represent the North
' west at the national conference
held at Forest Lake college.
Medford High are students
will exhibit their work at the
American Association of Univer
sity Women's are exhibit in the
Medford hotel. The exhibit, to
be held November 1 and 2 from
7 to 9 p.m., will show work done
by professionals as well as stu
dents from other schools.
Marion Elkins of Medford was
installed as district secretary at
the Southern Oregon Conference
of Future Homemakers of Amer
ica in Grants Pass Saturday,
Oct. 20.
Highlights of the program
were a luncheon; "What's your
Glamour I Q ", a demonstration
given by two former New York
models; the report of the na
tional meeting and installation
of district officers. Ten schools
participated in this conference.
Yelling students ran through
the halls Friday afternoon while
the fight song reverberated
through the long corridors of
MHS. The serpentine, starting at
the band room and ending at
the "pep dance" in the boys'
gym, was part of the prepara
tion to meet the Ashland
Grizzlies.
longings is not normal. I raced
with Jimmy, and I'm sorry he's
gone. But I wouldn't walk across
the street to look at his motor."
Eschrich purchased Dean's
battered Porsche from a salvage
company that, in turn, had pur
chased it from the insurance
firm. The doctor paid $1,000 for
the wreck because, "It was a ter
rific bargain the special motor
alone was worth at least $4,000
new."
Motor Repaired
The, amateur racer spent about
$500 repairing the damaged mo
tor. He decided to put the motor
inside a Lotus body. The Lotus
he bought coincidentally turned
out to be the same Lotus Dean
had ordered but later cancelled
in favor of the fatal Porsche.
Eschrich's "Por-tus." as he
calls it, also has the frame and
near wheels from Dean's
Porsche, an MG transmission
and a rear end from an Austin
Healy.
The doctor gave the body of
Dean's car to another driver,
who sold it to driver Walt
Turner. Parts of the body were
used to rebuild Turner's own
old Porsche but that car had not
yet been raced.
The fo urarmed forces acade
mies sent representatives tu
speak to the boys of Medford
high this last Wednesday. Each
representative gave a film on his
particular academy followed by
a brief address. All the college
preparatory students were urged
to consider the academies.
Wet hair and pin curls are
the distinguishing mark now
carried by all sophomore girls.
They have started their annual
swimming classes in physical
education. The classes are being
held at the YMCA.
Forest Fire Damage
Listed Low This Year
Portland Damage from for
est fires on land protected by
national forests' fire control
forces has been extremely low
this year, according to Kermit
W. Linstedt, forest service re
gional fire control chief.
To date the number of burned
areas is about 1,500, only slight
ly above the record low of 1,435
acres in 1953. The average an
nual figure for the previous five
years is 17,367.
Lightning fires were most nu
merous. The total number of
lightning fires started by the end
of September this year totaled
1.378 on national forest protec
tive areas. The number of man
caused was 285. To date the
total number of fires is approxi
mately 1,763. This is almost
double the previous five-year
annual average of 912. The few
est number of fires ever re
corded was in 1948 when 642
blazes were started.
