the Titan, whose power plant
is "particularly adaptable" to
exploration of space.

companion to the Air Force

Groundhog Sees Shadow
By R. E. NEALON
Table Rock Groundhog
Day. Feb. 2, which fell on
Sunday this year, locally was
greeted with warm, balmy
weather, meadow larks were
ringing, cattle were pawing
as they do later in the spring
the sun's rays burst through
the haze about 8 o'clock and
the groundhog surely saw his
shadow if he ventured out.
We saw ours, anyway, and
according to the old adage
the groundhog, after seeing
his shadow, goes back into
Kis winter quarters for a six
week stay as there will be
wintry weather for that length

The other day we went to
inspect the honey bees of M.
H. Goodlin, a former neigh
bor now in California. We
took along, to get in their
good graces, a snack of honey.
As everything seemed to be
too quiet for healthy bees, we
started tapping on the hives,
when all of. a sudden bees
shot out the exit, one of them
pasting us almost in the left
eye. Our first impulse was to
kick over the hive of the un
grateful insects, then 'we
thought about turning the
other cheek, but a glance
showed that they w.ere com
ing out in force, looked well
kept and were heavily armed,
so believing that discretion is
still the better part of valor,
we vamoosed, which "Web
ster" says means to depart
hurriedly. Goodlin claimed
that the bees were alergic to
Sam Glass because of the hair
oil he used. We wondered if
he may be right, as we had
used some mange remedy the
day before.
in a recent talk with the
nutrition specialist at the
Grange Coop, we asked him
about the frequently made
claims that alfalfa grown in
Klamath county and northern
California had a greater nu
tritional value than alfalfa
grown in Jackson county. He
replied, that in his opinion
there was nothing to it. The
only difference as to quality
of hay is brought about by
the way it is put .up. We think
like many others it is high
time w e should b e getting
aver this foolish notion, and
use the alfalfa grown by farm
ers who pay taxes here. Also,
the idea that choice beef fed
on local feeds cannot be pro
duced here.

trees under production, owned

of Medford, and well versed
in the growing of fruit trees.

RETIRED PRESIDENT DIES
New York OP Folke E.

were disclosed oy Air force
Secretary James H. Douglas
in testimony before the House
Armed Services Committee.
He testified as:
Senate Democratic Lead
er Lyndon B. Johnson assert
ed the U.S. is on the thresh
hold of "exciting develop
ments" in space.
An atomic expert pre
dicted development of nuclear
rockets for propulsion of
spacecraft.
Explorations of Space
Douglas told the House
committee that the Titan's
power plant is "particularly
adaptabl e," not only for
launching big satellites but
for exploring the depth of
the solar system.
The Air Force already has
staged four test-firing of the
Atlas, whose designed range
also is 5,000 miles. Develop
ment of the Titan started
about a year after the Atlas
Douglas said Atlas tests
will continue "at an accelerat
ed pace." He repeated that the
first operational Atlas unit
"will be in place" by Decem
ber, 1959.
Turning to space research,
Douglas said it appears that
the Air Force now has rocket
engines which, in combina
tion, could send "sizable
manned and unmanned" space
vehicles into orbit around the
earth and provide power for
craft to explore space beyond
the rroon.
Will Take Time
"Such projects will take
time," Douglas said. "But the
significant thing is that we
believe we have the impor
tant tools now to undertake
them as may be desirable."
Col. Jack Armstrong, the
Atomic Energy Commission's
assistant chief of aircraft re
actors, said problems remain
ing before a nuclear rocket
were "less difficult" than
those faced in making an
H-bomb and A-bomb. He said
when perfected nuclear rock
ets could develop two to four
times the thrust of chemical
fueled rockets.
Johnson, expected to take
over chairmanship of the new
Senate Outer Space commit
tee, is believed in favor of
having a civilian agency take
over direction of the nation's
space exploration effort.
Under compromise legisla
tion approved by Congress
Thursday, space projects as
signed by President Eisenhow
er will be under the Defense
Department for the next year.
Congress and the special Sen
ate committee will decide on
ultimate control.
Street Vacation, Other Items
Approved by Medford Council
The Medford city council
Iat night approved thevaca
tion of D'Anjou st. from
Spruce st. to Cherry st. fol
lowing a public hearing. .
The vacation was requested
by Rogue . River' Orchards,
Inc., which plans construction
of a $150,000 packing build
ing on the site. The company
offered the city an easement
for a storm sewer and water
main, and will pay costs of
publication notices for vaca
tion' and cooperate with the
city in eliminating the drain
age problem in the area.
Medford Fuel company,
which owns several lots in
the area, opposed the vaca
tion. The company main
tained it would not be able
to serve its lots with a rail
road spur if one was installed
by Southern Pacific.
Proposed Amendment
Action on a proposed
amendment to the city traffic
code was deferred to the Feb
20 council meeting when it
failed to pass by a two-thirds
vote. The amendment proposes
to add a section to the code
which reauires drivers to
maintain a proper lookout.
City Attorney Roy Bashaw
said the amendment had been
recommended by law enforce
ment officials. Experience in
dicates that the provision is
generally accepted by the
public as a reasonable regu
lation, they said.
The council passed an
amendment to the fixed plas
tic awning ordinance lower
ing the minimum height from
eight feet, six inches to seven
feet. The amendment also re
moved the section which
would allow the city manager
or the city coucil to order re

necessary.
