o O o 4 HAIL TRIBUNE, MedfonJ, Ortgon, THurt.ay, May 13, 1958 1 ... - - f-Z , ' Alt OLD DOG Shep, a 17-year-old Austral San shepherd belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bezoff, Willow Springs rd., Central Foint, doesn't care to chase rabbits any more. In fact,, all he does is lie around the yard now, dreaming of the "good old ays" when he was a pup. By human stan dards he is the equivalent to about 120 years old. Shep also is getting a little deaf and Bezoff, above, had to shout to get him to shake hands for the picture. The dog grew up with the Bezoff children, Terry Lee and Jeannette, who are now 12 and 8 years old, and has lived with the family in Weed and Klamath Falls before they came here three years ago. Is That So? Id Granda Via TWA Two tftings hit me hardest about Cranada The Alhambra end the underground, the lat t being strictly non-political. Many of you know more about the Alhambra than I do because you have already read Washington Irving'" fam ous book by that name. I'll read it when I get back. The Spaniards here seem to know it as well as Don Quixote. But for those of you who haven't read it, the Alhambra is both a fantastically beauti ful palace and a mighty fort ress covering 33 acres. It is so breathtaking that when I heard the Duke of Welling ton refused the gift of it, as "impractical," I thought he must have been out of his head. The Spaniards offered it for his help in driving Na poleon out of Spain. As for the underground, that is literally what it is. Some 2,500 people Gypsies, mainly live there beneath the surface of a section where the Mooris facloners By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist used to live. The reason is they like it. I refused to believe it, even after being in a couple of the caves which actually were clean, spacious and comfort able. Our driver suggested we go to Guadix. We did. In that town, a few miles to the northeast, there are some 10,000 troglodytes, people who live underground. Homes,- stores, taverns, are beneath the surface. Only the steeple of the church sticks out. The chimneys do, too, of ELECT Judge JAMES M. MAIN Circuit Court Position No. 1 Pi. Pol. Ad. Ben Day, Criimn., Gold Hill course. They are generally tubes of cones of whitewashed brick and motar that sit a few feet or yards back along the slope. In some cases there is a room on the surface or against the hillside, but us uslly there is just a door. One place we entered had 15 rooms, but there are oth ers with 20 or more. The troglodytes maintain their homes are cool in summer, warm in winter, that there is little danger from burglars and the the only thing that can burn is the furniture. Their scale of living seems to vary as much as surface dwellers! As we drove back to Gran ada, I tried to imagine my self getting a building permit for such a dwelling in the states. From New Jersey to California, I could see noth ing but puzzled disapproval on the faces of building in spectors and health depart ment officials.

THE GILL PERFORMANCE In the senate he opposed the Surtax in 1955, voted against the income 'tax increase in 1957, led the fight that reduced tax rates in the 1957 Special Session.
