Humane Society Gets More Than Bargained For in Agreement Southern Oregon Humane society officials got more than they bargained for last week when they agreed to find homes for some dogs whose owner was about to be hospi talised for several months. When the owner arrived with the animals, the society was dumbfounded to discover his canine family numbered no less than 14. Homes have already been found for three male dogs, but the society is frantically seek ing good homes for the 11 fe males. Most of them are part terrier and ages range from three or four months to about l'i years. Prospective owners would have the privilege of naming the dogs. As it is, they all answer to the same name "Doggie". So far, most of the dogs are a little shy, but members of the society said they are be coming more friendly as they get acquainted with their new surroundings. Anyone inter ested in "adopting" a dog may come to the humane society and choose his pet from a vast selection, it was pointed out. Prison Escapee Gels Life Imprisonment . Albany (U.R) Ernest Loring Uibson, one of four -prisoners who escaped from the Linn county jail here last Sept. 7, was sentenced to life imprison ment Friday on an assault and robbery while armor! with . dangerous weapon charge stem ming from the escape. The life sentence for Gibson came after a Circuit Court jury had deliberated only 10 minutes. The 32-year-old prisoner sat t the defense table, apparently unconcerned through the trial, and wrote a letter to his father. At the time of his escape, Gib son was awaiting an appeal from an earlier life sentence. That sentence was meted out after he was convicted of slugging the Linn county treasurer and es caping with $8,000 in January oi last year. No defense witnesses were called in behalf of Gibson and the court appointed counsel, John Bootch, callenged only one Juror before Gibson told him, "let 'em all go." Car Theft Cleared With Boy's Arrest Theft of an automobile be longing to Michael Thornton Roberts, 30 Rose St., Medford, Friday morning was cleared by city police with the arres of a 17-year-old Medford boy. Officers said the car was re ported missing a short time be fore the youth was arrested for having no operator's license. In vestigation revealed the vehicle he was driving was the same one Roberts had reported stolen. The youth had been driving the car for about 45 minutes, po lice said. He also admitted to officers taking the car without the owner's permission on sev eral other occasions. Keys had been left in the vehicle. Since Roberts did not sign a complaint against the boy, he was not held for the car theft. However, he was cited to appear in municipal court on a charge of driving without a license. Since the first United States mint was established in 1792, it has struck off coins in gold, silver and other metals valued up to $8 billion, according to present estimates. 1 Right and left shoes were made for the first time in the U.S. in 1822. Before that the left and right shoes were made from the same pattern and could be worn interchangeably. Reserve Advisor Discusses Proposed New Armory Here Lt Col. Frank M. Kehoe, Army reserve unit advisor here, has provided additional informa tion on the proposed federal armory that may be constructed on part of the Jackson County Housing Authority site. Kehoe discussed reasons why Army reserve units could not train at the new $400,000 Na tonial Guard armory, now near ing completion at the county fairgrounds. The unit advisor said depart ment of defense and congression al policy is to provide separate facilities for the Army reserve and National Guard. The two agencies have differences in op eration arising from differences between federal and state con trol, he said. Requirements Differ Because of operational differ ences, Kehoe explained, require ments for training installations are not the same for state and federal units. Combining them has proved impractical and un economical in the past, he added. Kehoe said the federal proj ect is part of an overall plan, approved by congress, to pro vide adequate facilities through out the nation for training of Army reserve units. Army-community use of a re serve training center is permit ted only if non-profit organiza tions are involved and if there is no interference with reserve training activities, he said. According to Kehoe, the train ing center could be used by Boy Scout troops and church, civic, PTA and other community groups when the facilities are not required for reserve unit training. Motion To Dismiss Equity Suit Granted Circuit Judge H. K. Hanna has granted a motion to dis miss, without prejudice, a $1. 077.15 suit in equity, filed in circuit court here by the city of Medford against Earl Fehl, Loretta I. Callamy and Delbert Fehl, of Medford, heirs to prop erty owned by the late Amanda M. Fehl. The motion was filed late last week by City Attorney E. R Bashaw, representing the city in the case. According to the city's complaint, the property was al leged to have received city im provements on whir-h assess ments were never paid. , Fehl early this month filed a demurrer and a hearing had been set for Monday. Fehl was to represent himself in the case. 1957 Westinghouse PkYEk NOW ONLY $! 095 Model D-104 The only electric Dryer that blows warm air directly on to clothes, not through the machinery!

The si ren didn't sound like a bell ending the period, and it was too short for a fire alarm. The problem was solved by investi gating teachers who discovered that the fire siren switch had accidently been pulled by Al icia Abbott. Alicia," who was working alone in the office, had intended to turn on the lights but wasn't sure which switch was the liehts. so she just pull ed a switch. Alas, it was the fire siren, not the lights, which came on. Tnterestinff experiments are being conducted in the Biology lab. Culture dishes were passed around Friday, Jan. 25, which had bacteria growths on them. The growths were started by students " coughing, breathing, and exposing the dishes to the open air.
