Oregon Collegiate conference
football opener for the Red Raid
ers from the Rogue river valley.
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

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

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

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.

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.
The state presently owns sev
eral thousand acres of land

county, purchased for park

purposes, which cuts a lot ot red
tape in the acquisition of the
highway right-of-way.
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.

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.
