I noticed that a neighbor had both snowdrops and primroses in bloom. Spring in our climate continues from January to June and I like the length of it. Today I added a new bird to my year list and my home list. It was a myrtle warbler. A few myrtle and Audubon's warblers always winter here. The myrtle has a white throat, whereas the Audubon's shows at least a faint wash of yellow. Both always keep the yellow rump patch but otherwise are rather dull at this time of year. In spring they will brighten ud with well defined patches of white, black and vellow. Monday, Jan. 27 I find good relaxation in looking for birds on Monday mornings. The day may be dull and a little drippy, but with one year lists so small in the month of January it is pretty easy to find new birds, and that is fun. Today I added 11 to my year list, bringing it to 78. J. H. stopped for me at about 8 and we visited some of the ponds north of Medford. Now that duck hunting season is over, duck watching season begins in earnest. We saw a small group of shovelers and a very pretty canvasback as well as more numerous mallards, ruddys and a few teal. We enjoyed seeing a whistling swan flying over at close range. But the most exciting thing we saw was a prairie falcon, one of the swiftest and most skilled of avian hunters. It struck and captured a blackbird in flight. In the prairie country near Camp White we noticed a number of field mice and saw even more of their runways and burrows. In that area we also saw a shrike. Shrikes are robin-sized birds that feed on mice as well as crickets and such larger insects. We have seen more than usual this winter, perhaps because of the mouse infestation. There are also many sparrow hawks working on the mice. Tuesday, Jan. 28 The most impressive thing today was the rain which continued without stopping the whole day. As I was crossing Bear Creek on Barnett rd., I stopped to look at the rushing torrent that it had become. It made high waves, like the ocean, but I hated to see its rich brown color because that meant soil washing away from our valley. At home I saw a townee taking a bath. It seemed strange for it to be taking a bath in such weather, but at least there was plenty of water for it. There would be nothing to dry it but its own body heat, but I suppose that would be sufficient, since birds have a higher normal temperature than people. Wednesday. Jan. 29 The water was rising up so close to the floor level of one of our buildings that I decided the time had come to clean out the ditch around it. I got wet and muddy in the process but at least I stopped the rain. Anyhow it stopped soon after I finished. - In the sunshine that came out before noon two yellow rrocusses opened up in a planter on our oatio. Thev made a kind of echo to the brightness of the sunshine which seemed unusually pretty after the world had been washed so clean. Thursday, Jan. 30 I finished reading "The Bird Watcher's Anthology", a book that was given to us for Christmas. It is edited by Roger Tory Peterson, the same man who wrote the pocket field guide that most of us take with us when we go out birding. I enjoyed the whole book, some parts more than others, as is inevitable with anthologies. The best selections are toward the end. I especially liked one written by Aldo Leopold about the Sky Dance of woodcocks in Sand County, Wis consin. The courtship practices of birds fascinate me. I euess I like romance in the feathered creatures as well as in people. Friday, Jan. 31 From my study window I saw a cock pheasant showing off as he circled around a hen. He fluffed his pretty feathers and spread his tail. This might be a sign of spring but 1 think I have seen it going on at all seasons. Perhaps it is the pheasant's way of expressing the exuberance of life, just as a meadowlark does when he sings on any bright day of winter. T.M.

Marcos Perez Jimenez, the ousted "Venezuelan dictator, may seek a temporary visa to the United States. State De partment spokesman Lincoln White said the U.S. embassy at Ciudad Trujillo, Domini can Republic, where Jimenez took refuge, had been advised that Jimenez was "consider ing" applying for the visa. White said that if found elig ible, Jimenez would be granted the visa. An average passenger auto mobile in the U. S. is 3.2 years old at the time it is traded in by its first owner. Green Cedar EAGLE FUEL CO. Union Heating Oils Phone TA 6-4081 By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington A major split appears to be developing be tween two principal groups that have put on the year-aft er - year cam p a i g n for a high Hells Canyon dam. These are the public power - mind ed or ganiza- i tions and the con servation groups, who a. Robt smito are in tne ear ly stage of parting company over Nez Perce dam, the proj ect described by the Federal Power commission as best adapted for full development of the middle Snake river be low Hells Canyon. The conservationists want none of Nez Perce because it would block the mouth of the Salmon river from migratory fish runs, unless a practical device can be installed to get the salmon and steelhead around that high dam. It was the public power groups, teamed through the National Hells Canyon asso ciation, which advocated Nez Perce in the FPC hearings on the Pacific Northwest Power company's application for Pleasant Valley and Mountain Sheep dams. Seriously Consider Filing So far no one has come forward offering to build Nez Perce, but reportedly the power company and the pub lic power groups are both se riously considering filing an application for it with the FPC. The FPC said it found Nez Perce economically feasi ble for private construction without federal assistance so it could presumably be han dled financially by either pub lic or private power groups. Inasmuch as the FPC has already dismissed the fish passage problem at Nez Perce as "no greater than many others" involved in such a large project, any applicant would appear to stand a good chance of getting a license, i The conservation organiza tions would stand little chance of preventing a Nez Perce license from being is sued, as things now stand. The conservation organiza tions would stand little chance of preventing a Nez Perce license from being is sued, as things now stand. Consequently, Sen. Richard L. Neuberger has dropped into the Senate hopper a seemingly minor bill to amend the federal power act (under which the FPC func tions) and prevent the FPC from issuing a license for any dam "until the Secretary of the Interior, after consulting with the U.S. Fish and Wild life Service, has determined that the dam and project works are not detrimental to migratory fish and game." Logic of Proposal The logic of this proposal, Neuberger said, is that it would protect the fishery re sources in river development just as another section of the power act protects navigation potentialities by requiring the Army Engineers to approve all dams from a navigation standpoint before the PTA can issue a license. The conservation groups are a power on Capitol Hill and at the Interior depart ment, where presently Secre tary Fred A. Seaton has criti cized the FPC findings in fa vor of Nez Perce. If Neuber ger's bill is enacted, as the conservationists hope, it would give them a powerful lever they now do not have to fight Nez Perce. , Neuberger has not only in troduced this key bill, but he is prepared to lead the conser vation groups out of their past alliance with public power:-A few days ago he met with the chief conserva tion leaders to map tentative strategy for the Nez Perce battle looming ahead. Leaders Listed They were Dr. Ira N. Ga brielson and C. R. Gutermuth, of Wildlife Management In stitute; Dr. Spencer Smith, Citizens Committee on Natur- Grange News Phoenix Grange Phoenix Grange had 50 un expected guests at the meet ing Feb. 28. Because of heavy rains and rising streams, it was quite a surprise to see so many who came from quite a distance. Represented were Granges from Gold Hill, Eagle Point, Central Point, Upper Apple- gate, Upper Rogue, Bellview and Griffin Creek. The program, under the di rection of Maud House, lec turer, preceded the regular meeting. The first number was a skit entitled "Weather Wisdom" by four girls, Carol and Gayle House and Cheryl and Karin Bolz. Following that Robert Church of the weather bureau gave an informative talk on weather, the whys and where- fors of storms, and the man ner in which those who work at the bureau arrive at their conclusions, and why some times their predictions fail. He described weather bal loons and the devices sent aloft in these balloons which give the necessary informa tion enabling them to predict the weather. They reach a height of 60,000 to 80,000 feet and are released 'at 3:30 a.m. and 3:30 pjn. daily. Church told several humor ous stories and related pecu liar requests which they some times receive concerning the weather. Following the program Mas ter Charles Johnson called the meeting to order. Escorted to the Masters Station were the following guests: Roscoe Roberts, state steward and deputy; Robert Bitterling, Jackson county Pomona master; Cyril Farns worth, master of Griffin Creek; Al Simms, master of Roxy Ann; Herb Carlton, Master of Upper Rogue; Frank Malin, master of Bellview Grange. This being a social evening reports of committees were short. Current events, legislature on the local level, budgets in the county, school support, taxes and other problems of interest to the community and Grange members were dis cussed by both visitors and Phoenix Grange members. Vaughn Quackenbush talked on propagation of dwarf fruit trees, and recommended them as a backyard tree. Charles Hoover talked of the current interest in re habilitating the unused build ings at Camp White. Said all Granges in the county had been contacted, and there had not been one dissenting vote. The Granges are 100 per cent behind this project. Secretary Lesbia Lattie read a letter from the Charles Hockersmiths to Phoenix Grange, in which they told of the interesting sights they had seen in Cuba, the weath er, which is warm and sunny and flowers, fruit and garden vegetables now at their best. Chaplain Flora Klarin re ported Enid Caster and Louise Norton ill. Edith Poe announced the HEC conference Monday, Feb. 3 at 11 a.m. in Roxy Ann Grange hall. There will be a potluck dinner at noon. She urged all HEC members to come, especially the chairman and her - committee of each Grange. She said they may gain much information that would be of benefit to them in their years work ahead. Roscoe Roberts announced the County Conference which will be held in Central Point Grange hall Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. Floor work will be demonstrated and their will also be a program. He urged all officers and commit teemen to attend and any oth er interested Grange mem bers. Mrs. Anna Scott of Upper Applegate announced the tur key dinner at their Grange hall early in February. She also stated water over the road in some places had pre vented several people who had planned to attend this surprise visitation from com ing. A group of Phoenix Grange ladies go to Camp White to sew and mend, the second Thursday in each month. Sev eral old clocks, radios, and material for weaving, also men's clothing, has been re ceived, but still more is need ed, according to this group of women who know the need for these articles at Camp White. Grange adjourned at 10:30 for refreshments. The serving committee was Mr. and Mrs. Al Lewis, and Mr. and Mrs. Bennett Austin. Publicity Chairman, Gertrude Lewin, al Resources, which repre sents about a dozen outdoor groups; Fred Packard, Na tional Parks association; Joe Penfold, Izaak Walton League of America; Stewart Brand borg, National Wildlife Fed eration; and Howard Zahniz er, Wilderness Society. Other Northwest senators, who with Neuberger, were leading the Hells Canyon fight, have yet to indicate which side they will choose when the gulf is opened wide between these two strong fac tions which have played im portant roles in the politics of both Oregon and Washington in recent election campaigns. CENTRAL POINT Cub Scouts Hold Meeting Family Council Mrs. L. B. I am dying to see our son and his child. Mr. L. B. I can't face him. e Mrs. L. B. Our son Her bert married two years ago at the age of 20. My husband and I were very much opposed to the marriage, not only be cause of his youth, but be cause this girl belongs to a different faith. Aside from that, she is sickly and will be a handicap rather than a helpmate to him all his life. At the time they married, my husband and I said we would never see Herbert's wife. We said he could come to see us any time he liked, but we wouldn't visit him. Herbert said that if we would n't acknowledge his wife, we just wouldn't see him again. Well, now they have a baby and Herbert has asked us to come to visit. I am dying to see my son and his child, but my hubsand says he won t go back on his word. Mr. L. B. I was willing to compromise. I told Herbert we would come if his wife wasn't present. He wouldn't give in. He said his wife had to be there or we wouldn't come. The way I look at it is this: Herbert's wife must hate ' us like poison. She knows how we feel about her. Surely she doesn't want us coming to her home. Herbert has talked her into it, but she certainly can't welcome us. How can we face her? What will we say to her? I hardly know how to face our own boy. I don't know what to say to him after all this time. Fortunately, we have a younger son and daughter. I tell my wife we've got to think about them and tear Herbert out of our heats. Otherwise this thing will al ways be a torment. The Council: Unfortuately, there is no painless way out of this problem. "This thing" is likely to be a torment one way or the other. We do think, however, that there is more hope for less torment through a reconcilia tion. The L.B.'s wronged them selves and their son when they took such a violent posi tion. They could have been firm in their opposition to the marriage without committing themselves to any future line of conduct. They should have foreseen the day when they would be driven by a desire to see their son and his child. As the years go on, recon ciliation becomes more and more difficult. Even now, we feel that Mr. L. B. is not so much concerned about going back on his pledge, as he is afraid of the emotional scene involved in seeing his son again. The reconcilation might be made a bit easier if the L.B.'s suggest that Herbert come to see them first by himself. There will have to be some tears on both sides. The strain of having Herbert's wife pres ent on that occasion may be too much. The L.B.'s should recognize that their son's position at this time is entirely justified. He cannot ask his wife to leave SAVE -jT. W . I JIM t M 1 SAVE By DORIS HUGHES Central Point Pack 40 Cub Scouts met Tuesday eve ning in the Central Point Jun ior High school library.
