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.

which they had canned or frozen
themselves during the semester.

A screaming siren echoed
down 'PHS' halls Thursday at
the end of third period. 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

Culture dishes were passed
around Friday, Jan. 25, which
