MEDFORD FUEL CO. Court nd McAndrewf WE GIVE 'S&H' Gemini Twins In Eastern Sky By FAY BENTLEY "By jiminy," a surprised voice exclaimed. Strange as it may seem this familiar expression originated from the name of a constellation of stars, Gemini the Great Twin Brethern. In mythology, Castor and Pol lux were the twin sons of the king and queen of Sparta. Jup iter had given to Pollux the gift of immortality but Caster was human. However, both boys were stronger, braver and more ac complished than any ordinary mortals. Close Companions Despite the difference in rank the youths loved each other deeply and were inseparable companions. Castor could ride the wildest horses and Pollux was reknown for running and boxing. As very young lads, they join ed Jason's expedition in search of the golden fleece. One night their ship was endangered by a terrible storm. Orpheus soon calmed the waves with the wonderful music of his lyre. When the storm had ceased, a bright star was seen to be hovering over the head of each one of the twins, and from that moment. Castor and Pollux were considered to be the patrons of seafarers. Carry Firgurehead A number of Roman and Grecian ships carried figure heads to represent Gemini, the Great Twin Brethren. The Apostle Paul, telling of his jour ney from Alexandria to Rome, writes in Acts 28:11, "And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria . . . whose sign was Castor and Pollux." Gemini is an old constellation and the slang phrase, "By jiminy," is a corruption of the old seaman habit of saying "By Uemim when taking an oath. The Twins who hated pirates as much as they admired sailors tried to drive all marauders out of the Hellespont. Their lives were so filled with successful ad ventures that people came to believe the mere presence of these youths would assure vic tory in any undertaking. Brother Killed While still a young man, the mortal brother, Castor, was kill ed in battle. Pollux, in grief and Forest Industry Discussed in IV Cave Junction Various phases of the forest industry were discussed at a meeting of tree farmers and wood lot own ers from Illinois valley. Grants Pass and Medford here last week. Sponsored jointly by the Southern Oregon Christmas Tree association and the forestry committee of the Josephine county planning conference, speakers for the meeting were from the bureau of land man agement, the Oregon state for estry department, the extension service, Southern Oregon Christ mas Tree association, Portola Lumber company and from a new hardwood plant at Sunny Valley. E. W. (Jiggs) Morris, chair man of both the Christmas tree association and the forestry com mittee, presided at the session. County Agent Harry Clark said more people have inquired about Christmas tree farming at the extension office in the last four months than during all of the past five years. Several wholesalers an nounced that between 1V4 and 3 million Christmas trees were burned In California last season as a result of oversupply. It was generally felt that overproduction would lower the market price and that coopera tives such as the Southern Ore gon Christmas Tree association could assist by providing only first quality trees, to be con tracted for a year in advance. 12 Schools Enter SOC Speech Contest Ashland Twelve Oregon high schools have entered the eighth annual invitational high school speech conference at Southern Oregon college Friday and Sat urday, Pan. 25 and 26, accord ing to Leon Mulling, associate professor of speech.
