Accord ing to the day camp commit tee chairman, Mrs. W. H.

The girls in Jacksonville will also be pick ed up about 8:30 to be taken to Camp Logtown which is six miles west of Jacksonville. Plans for Scouts in the Jackson-Lincoln neighborhood will depend on how many girls are registered. Some of the history of pio neer Logtown has been sup plied the day camp commit tee by Mrs. Thomas Eslinger, of the established camp com mittee. Mrs. Eslinger is a des cendant of John McKee, one of Logtown's original settlers, who came to Oregon in 1852 from Missouri. Logtown was a busy village of about 500 people and was named be cause its buildings were of logs. Located on the old Jack sonville-Crescent City pack trail, Logtown was never very big, and most of the trading was done at Jacksonville. According to Mrs. Eslinger, her aunt, Mary McKee Higgin botham, who now lives near Central Point, has told her of how her mother, Minim Mc Kee would take her children into the fields to hide from the Indians when it was neces sary for her father, John Mc Kee, to go to Jacksonville for supplies. She has also spoken of one of her sisters being buried on the hill back-of the house, before the Logtown cemetery was started. Twelve children were born to the McKee's at Logtown. John McKee was the town blacksmith, repairing tools and mining implements for the white and Chinese miners. The only thing to mark the site of Logtown today, except the cemetery, is the famous "Logtown Rose." The first rosebush planted in Jackson county, and believed by some to be the first in southern Oregon, is yellow, was some thing of a floral wondr in Students Are Guests Three Medford High school girls were guests at a Zonta club luncheon Thurs day at the Jackson hotel.

Miss De Wanda Winchell, who will attend Girls' State this year and Miss Maureen McCurdy, who will be awarded the Zonta scholarship to Southern Ore gon College in June at grad uation. The Medford Zonta club has established the custom of classification talks from new members. Speaking Thurs day were Mrs. Eleanor Bolt, co-owner of Homestead on the Rogue, and Mrs. Olive Lowry of the Newcomer's Ser vice. Mrs. Bolt traced the devel opment of motels from the beginning when they, were "auto-camps" to the modern motels with swimming pools and hotel service in the lux ury class. Mrs. Bolt said that the first auto camp was built at Depoe Bay, Ore.', in 1914. Auto-camps began to develop about 1925 on the Pacific coast; tourists at that time having to carry a bed roll and cooking utensils, she said. At the present there are 60,000 motels in the U. S. with 4,000 under construc tion. Mrs. Lowry described New comer's Service of which she is owner and originator. She explained the manner in which the service functions to inform new residents in Med ford about business firms and services, such as utilities, about churches, schools and cultural activities. Mrs. Low ry also has a similar service in Roseburg. The tight skin of garlic is easier to remove if the cloves are put under hot running water for a few seconds.

Today, the Logtown rose is in sad danger of being com pletely exterminated, because of people indiscriminately tak ing slips, to start bushes of their own. Tenative plans are being made by the Girl Scouts of the Medford District to suitably mark and protect this historic spot, so that girls in future years may be able to enjoy this rose that made the long journey across the plains, and has survived all the hard ships to the present time. John and Mirum McKee are both buried in the Logtown cemetery; Mirum' s- parents are buried at Jacksonville. Aunt Mary Higginbotham was born at Logtown as was Mrs. Eslinger's father, Ernest Mc Kee.
