The Raiders got their lone touchdown in the second quar ter on a 58-yard slosh by Ron Maurer. Lance Locke's extra point kick was good and proved the margin of victory. The Raid ers' own fumbles and stubborn Viking defense held down the Southern Oregon attack. Women's Golf Adding to her growing collec tion of trophies, golf balls and assorted golfing memorabilia, Mrs. William Miller once more pulled into the winning circle in the Women's Golf association at the Rogue Valley Country club. This time the prize was the Trans-Mississippi golf medal lion, offered in regular Thurs day play last week. "Steady" Miller, head down into a fierce wind that tried the patience of most contestants, followed through with a hot 88, net 78. The group winners last Thurs day were: A group, Margo Col lins, net 84; B group, Lois Walk er, net 80; and, 9 hole group, Jo Mclntyre, net 39.

It Is one of an annual series of travel stories sponsored Joint ly by the Oregon State Motor association and The Orego nian. BY JOHN A. ARMSTRONG Scndair EUtor. Tne Oregon :ae Construction of a new stretch of highway 101 from Gold Beach to Brookings, now partially un der way and scheduled for com pletion by 196L will iron the kinks out of the present 38 miles of road with its some 375 curves. For this accomplishment, un told thousands of touring par ents who have dealt with a back seat full of carsick children will be grateful. But there are advantages other than this. The new highway, which for the most part will skirt the edges of the surf, will open up for public enjoyment, miles ot spectacular coastline and scores of attractive beaches and in lets, that hitherto have been seen only by crews of offshore fishing boats and a few hardy sheepherders. More than this, the comple tion of the new waterboard route should increase by up to 100 per cent the number of tourists continuing north into Oregon from California on U. S. 10L Present Road Bottleneck For some years, businessmen along the Oregon coast have re garded the Gold Beach to Brookings secton of 101 as a bottleneck which funneled inland tourist traffic coming north from California. In actual fact, this is true. Bradley Page, manager of the Del Norte chamber of com merce at Crescent city, frankly admits that about half of the motorists arriving in Crescent City from the south say that if the curves ahead on Oregon's 101 are anything like the ones they just came through on Cali fornia's 101, they're heading in land, Page says. According to his figures, there is about a 50 per cent loss of .tourists business to the Oregon coast because of the bad reputation of the pres ent Brookings to Gold Beach highway.

This week, C. H. Armstrong, superintendent of state parks, said that he will be sending parks department personnel to Curry county shortly to make a study on what can be done about developing new state parks along the relocated high way. Armstrong promised that the state would develop all areas suitable for public use, with an eye to showing travelers from out-of-state the recreational ad vantages that the Curry county coast offers. AAA Car Covers Area We drove this stretch of high way on a recent Oregon State Motor association motorlog to the Curry county vacation area. We survived it admirably, and we would recommend that Ore gon! ans not wait until the new highway is completed to visit this wildly beautiful stretch of the Oregon coastline. We would advise, however, that you avoid filling the kiddies with soda pop and candy before tackling the Gold Beach to Brookings stretch and that you take the precaution of plying them with a dramamine before hand. Forewarned thusly, the road should prove no bugaboo. Driving south towards Curry county from Coos Bay, we took a side jaunt at Bandon on the beach loop, a portion of the for mer highway, narrow, twisting but paved. It offers some out standing views of the needle rocks, which are unique along the southern Oregon coast. Rock Besieged At Port Orford, stop for a minute at the Battle Rock state park, which commemorates an incident of 1851 when nine men from the ship "Seagull" stood off an Indian attack, later mak ing their way inland to safety. The highway from Port Or ford to Gold Beach is now fast and modern. The last section of the new sea-level route, 8.8 miles from the Rogue River at Gold Beach north to Greggs creek, was opened last week. Don't let the fast, easy run keep you from stopping at the Humbug mountain state park, one of the Oregon coast's most picturesque and finest ap pointed. Besides the fine beach j area, attractions include a pret i ty, winding trout stream, a i winding trail to the 1750-foot top of the mountain,' swimming, picnicking, tent and trailer sites, showers and laundry facil ities. The folks in Gold Beach are friendly, and anxious to please the visitor. Feel free to stop in at the Curry County Reporter and introduce yourself to the en ergetic young publisher. Bob Van Leer, or his wife Betty. They'll tell you of the opportuni ties for vacation fun in this area. Or drop in at the courthouse any weekday and chat with County Judge Guy Forsythe, ex state police sergeant and a man who knows the nooks and cran nies of the Curry county area. The Rogue, that much pub licized mecca for salmon an glers, is of course one of the stellar attractions of the area. In April the spring chinooks start running, followed by sum mer chinooks, silvers and final ly steelhead, with fishing excel lent until late winter. Tourists can enjoy a spectacu lar ride up the riffles of the Rogue by mailboat as far as Agness, completing the trip in one day. There are several lodges up the river offering tour ist accommodations. The Rogue is not the only fish able river in Curry county. Bob Van Leer lists among others the Sixes, Elk, Hunter creek, Pis tol river, the Chetco and the Win chuck, Surf Fishing Good Surf and salt water fishing is productive along this stretch of coast Among the many places for stopping and enjoying yourself south of Gold Beach the stretch of beach just north of Pistol riv er, where huge rocks rise like titans out of the sand and surf, some with hay growing atop and sheep grazing the breathtaking vista from atop Cape Sebastian and finally Harris Beach state park just north of Brookings, which has attractive overnight camping facilities. Brookings itself is a clean, new looking town prosperous appearing. At its south city limits is Azalea state park where each spring the wild azaleas are a riot of color, and the annual Azalea festival is held, general ly in May. The Chetco river offers both fresh water fishing for salmon as well as deep sea trailers. Southward are the lily and daffodil fields which each year bring over 51,500,000 to Curry county. And just a few miles on are the redwoods and California. Monday, October 14, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE Tuberculosis Germs M av Be harbored y Cats and IDogs By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (IP) Scientific investigation has disclosed that dogs and cats may be "reser voirs" of tuberculosis germs. This is important because if tubercu losis among human beings is ever wiped out, all "reservoirs" of the germs will have to be wiped out first. The investigation was notable because it was made in Glas gow, Scotland which has one of the most effective public health services in the world but also has as yet undetected reservoirs of TB germs that keep the "new cases" rate among people more or less steady. Other possible reservoirs had been checked and so a University of Glasgow team headed by Dr. V. M. Hawthorne looked into dogs and cats. First, they checked the human "contacts" of 14 dogs which were, most definitely tu bercular. Germ Contacts Studied These contacts numbered 60 but only 34 consented to medical investigation. Of those 34, the X-rays of 12 showed evidences of TB. That's a whopping 35.2 per cent. Three of the 34 had active TB, a rate of 8.82 per cent. In mass X-ray examinations of Glasgowans at large, the rate was 0.72 The scientists then reversed themselves by examing the household dogs and cats of hu man beings including 20 dogs and 15 cats. Two dogs and two cats were found to be containers of TB germs. This, the scientists said, "must raise the question of the advisability of allowing dogs and cats to live in tuberculosis households." Disease in Animals Hawthorne and his associates were chary as to conclusion- jumping.. They pointed out that weaknesses in their study-and weaknesses in existing know ledge of how TB germs behave in mammals other than human beings and cattle. For instance, their number of human cases as sociated with tubercular pets was small, and it may have been that the TB germs in the two dogs and two cats merely were "in transit" through the animals But they wanted public health scientists throughout the world to know what they were doing so they could look into the pos sibilities, too, and also so there would be "a wider appreciation of the possibility of the occur rence of tuberculosis in dogs and cats." Before medical science got TB in human beings under fair control and the disease still was "the white plague," there were no facilities for finding out if people and their household pets passed TB germs back and forth. But now there is the all import ant question of the "reservoirs" and where those "reservoirs" are. Victims Live Together They found that the tubercu lar owners of tubercular animals lived together rather intimately. The dogs in most cases were bathed in the same tubs in which the people bathed; and some dogs and cats were permitted to lick the dinner plates;- half the ani mals slept in the same rooms in which their masters slept, and some were permitted to get on or into the master's bed. In their report to the British Medical Association, the scien tists remarked that this "points to the ease with which mutual infection might occur." The first public weather serv ice in this country was estab lished in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1869. Columbia Power System Revenues Up Portland (IP) Cross power revenue of $66,399,970 for fiscal year 1957 for the U.S. Columbia river power system were an nounced Saturday by the Bonne ville Power administration, the highest figure since the incep tion of the system. Dr. William A. Pearl, Bonne ville Power administrator, said the gross revenues represented an 8.87 per cent increase over fiscal 1956. He said net revenues totaled $5,965,735. Industrial customers account ed for 42.89 per cent of the rev enue dollar, of which the alu minum industries represented 30.16 per cent. Sales to publicly owned utilities were 33.2 per cent of the total, privately owned utilities 21.76 per cent and miscellaneous 2.15 per cent. METSKER'S COUNTY MAPS Best maps for Sportsmen, Trails.
