- I ' I,,, , ' 1 mMMmm CHOW STOP If anything builds a healthy appetite the salt spray breaking over the bow of a small fishing boat in choppy waters will certainly do the trick. Ifere the carrier boys "invade" a cafe on the way home. This, year's trip for the carrier boys of the Mail Tribune was to Winchester bay for salmon fishing. 0 i..u...i fymm: ,-"' sr-fL 1 'kWtH':' , f ' I i iw ii i i if n'i " li-hiiMMi "ni,, EVERYONE IN? Each time the chartered bus stopped tue boys got out in a matter of seconds, but this was not the case when the time came for the trip home. Group chaper ons, members of the Mail TrU?jne circulation department, literally had to "count noses" each time the bus left one of the stopping places. The group left Medford at 4 a.m. last Saturday and returned about 8:30 "p.m. Hatfield Accepts Picnic Invitation Cave Junction Mark Hatfield has sent word feat he has accepted the invita tion to the Illinois Valley Re-d publican Women's club picnic to be held at Grayback park on Aug. 17.

C. (UPI) An Indiana housewife in a plane navigated by "her Sister-in-law touched down at Char leston airport Saturday at 12:09.467 p.m. (est) to become the first plane to "land in the 12th annual Transrnntinpntal rPowder Puff Derby air race. Mrs. Margaret Ringenberg of Gravill," Ind. a suburb pf Fort Wayne led a pack of 60 planes on the cross country race which began Friday morning at San Diego, Calif. M-T Carriers Catch Variety of Fish on Outing Along Coast A 19-pound Chinook salmon erthelesi. Boats at both lo- was the prize catch when 40 Mail Tribune carrier boys went fishing June 28. Other fish included three smaller Chinook, 24 Silver Sides sal mon and a flounder. The boys departed at dawn by Greyhound bus, escorted by members of the circulation department staff. After stopping for break fast at Roseburg, they enjoy ed a scenic drive along the Umpqua river- to Reedsport. The first destination was at Winchester Bay, where two boatloads of 12 each put out. The bus driver was instruct ed to take the others on to Charleston, "eight miles down the coast." It turned out to be 38 miles but they arrived on time, nev- cations . were chartered from Ray Self, . operator of the Sportsman's docks.. The boys quickly discover ed that salmon struck far more often than they could be hooked. While each of the group from Charleston felt two or three strikes at least, they caught only the four Chinook and the flounder. ; Rough, seas forced a return to port by mid-afternoon. The Charleston contingent was chagrined to hear of the 24 fish caught by the others out by Winchester Bay, but Jelt better when it learned all the latter had gotten seasick. After j. a hearty feast at a drive-in south of Roseburg, the boys arrived back in Med ford about 8:30 p.m. Spring Sowing of Forest Tree Seed Completed Salem Spring sowing of forest tree seed at the Elkton and Corvallis nurseries of the state forestry department has been completed with a plan ned production of 29,000,000 seedlings for the planting sea son of 1959-60, according to Don Maus, assistant state for ester. Elkton production will be 19,000,000 trees and Corvallis 10,000,000, he added. Four million of the Elkton seedlings are being grown for the U. S. forest service to be used in reforestation projects in western Oregon. The bal ance are being grown primar ily for planting under the conservation reserve program and Title IV, both under the Soil Bank, Maus stated. "Surplus stock is to be dis tributed for reforestation in the farm woodlands of the state, for industrial planta tions, to the various schools and other group organizations and to other forest land own ers who wish to reforest," Maus said. Rehabilitation Project "At the Corvallis- nursery 5,000,000 of the seedlings have been grown for the state re habilitation project. A large part of this production will go into the Tillamook burn with the balance going into denuded state forest lands, in cluding timber sales areas where reforestation is neces sary." : - ? Maus stated that doubling the production of the two nurseries over that of the past season should meet the de mands of the tree planters of the state. However, he indi cated that there might be a shortage of the white firs which are desirable in the Christmas tree plantation. Dif ficulty in securing the seed of the species has resulted in making this a short item, he added. Douglas Fir Holds Steady in Week The green Douglas fir mar ket held about steady last week, with a reasonably good volume of sales, according to Crow's Lumber Market News service. However, boards, both green and dry, are still scarce, and green prices have been pushed up a bit by the strong California demand. Plywood producers raised prices $4 per thousand on the index grade bringing the new level to $72 for sanded stock, the Random Lengths market letter reported. This is about equivalent to last year's price and comes after a long period during which Plywood prices dropped to less than $64. ine principal activity in lumber items was limited to transit sales made to buyers who needed t o cover commit ments before the holiday, or to sales made on the basis of immediate mill shipment, the letter states. Generally, however, the trading was slow during the week. Georgia is the largest state east of the Mississippi river. J WE ST I NG HOUSE 11958 REFRIGERATORS AT LESS THAN 1 948 4 ' PRICES!

Above, Dean Luehrs, Ashland, reels in his line after such an experience, as Jerry Burns and Larry Baker busily anticipate a bite. .

Menshikov, Russia's hitherto glad-handing ambas sador, slipped quietly back into Washington Saturday after a three-week visit to Moscow during which, east- west relations took a sharp turn for the worse.

Attends Meeting Menshivok went to Moscow June 15 to attend a meeting of the powerful central com mittee of the Communist party and, according to diplo matic reports, to advise the Kremlin on the state of Soviet relations with the United States. His return coincided with two new Russian demands that the United States "take immediate and effective meas ures" to prevent future "vio lations" of Soviet air frontiers, and for "indemnities" for demonstrations joutside the Soviet U.N. offices in New York last month. . Since assuming his .Wash ington post last February, Menshikov has broken all pre cedent for Russian ambassa dors with an, aDDroach in which he willinglyand smif- uigiy extonea xne joys co-existence to lunch clubs, press groups and other audiences. He became known as an ex ponent of the "soft sell." But while he was in Mos cow, Khrushchev reversed tactics and drove the tempera ture of the cold war closer to zero. f at her Too Weak To Come To United States ' Hong Kong (UPI) An American Catholic priest, who was a prisoner for five years in a Communist Chinese pris on, is too weak to travel to the United States, a source in the Franciscan Mission House here said Saturday.
