Members of the Gardener Lake Ski club have been both improving their techniques and improving facilities for the Western Regional tourna ment of the American Water Ski association. The tourney will be conducted on the southern Oregon lake Friday through Sunday, Aug. 8 through 10 under Crater Lions club sponsorship. Each member of the club has been assigned a part of the necessary work by Presi dent Lon Skinner. There has been bustling activity particu larly on Saturdays and Sun days but on many another warm evening a group of ski enthusiasts has been at the lake until dark. First job was realignment of the slalom course, a series of floats or buoys offset alter nately from a center line or boat path.

He's 6-2 weighs Television showing of the Roy-Harris-Floyd Patterson heavyweight title boxing bout on Aug. 18 will be at the Cralerian theater here. There will be no home tele vision. about 240, and at 47 he's still rough'n a stucco bath tub. He and my uncles, Jack and Bob, have mellowed some now, but the oldtimers still skier rounds each buoy in turn crossing the tow boat wake from right to left and left to right between mark ers. Precise location of the markers was accomplished in May with Myers Jones and Art Ekerson and Bill Brooks and Cliff McGinty making up a pair of survey . crews and Skinner, Bill Wall and Nor man Capsey manned the boats. Since the original sur vey the buoys have been reset and adjusted by measurement with long ropes in the water for perfect continuity of rhy thm necessary in the event Three new docks were as sembled in June to provide added facilities for the region al meet. Bud Simmons ar ranged for a pre-cut the lum ber and obtained barrels. Wall, Jack Day and Bob Shepherd have reconstructed the. jump which was smaller than regulation size. Utilizing new wood stringers and ply wood on the old steel frame, they have assembled a 24 by 12-foot facility. They are put ting a surface of many coats of oil and graphite on the jump. Victor Gardener, owner of the lake, has been doing road improvement and extra clear ing for parking space. Mc Ginty and Day have hauled in sand and granite for the beach and landing ramp. Jones and Brooks are build ing the judges stand. The regional will attract ex pert skiers from 11 western states and more than 100 en trants are expected.

BEER PIPELINE London (UPD Indian-born architect Dharam C. Wadhwa, who is building a house back ing onto the 16th hole of the famous Wentworth golf course, has decided to do something for his friends who get thirsty before the "19th holes." He intends to fix a beer pipeline from his bar to the edge of the green. A tele phone will be installed by the nozzle and "my friends who are on the last lap can 'phone up and I'll switch on in the house," he. said. ' SATURDAY, SPECIAL EVENT POWDER PUFF DERBY Watch the Women Tear Up the Equipment! VALLEY VIEW SPEEDWAY One Mile North of Ashland on Highway 99 CLIP THIS and THIS COUPONS " Admits One Adult Man Harris Could Whip like to tell about some of the scrapes they got into back in the days when life was 'a lot more rugged here in the "Big Thicket." , . It used to be that folks in these parts just used to fish and hunt, farm a little bit and maybe tend a whisky still. They had their own law and a high code of honor. The less they had to do with outsiders, the better they liked it. When the law from outside would come in and take some one in to the jail in Conroe, my granddad, John Wesley (everybody called him "Cus sin' " Harris) would go into town and get them out of trouble. He used to be a jus tice of the peace in Oklahoma and nobody could put much over on him. One of the first things any body asks me is where our town of Cut 'N Shoot gets its name. From what I just told you about it, you have to ad mit it fits like a 50-cent shirt after a hard rain. Nobody knows for sure just how the name started, but the way we usually explain it is that if you stand around long enouh you'll get cut, and if you try to run you'll get shot. In 1932, they found oil, and that changed a lot of things. Conroe, our county seat about five miles from Cut 'N Shoot, was the boom town and the population is about 11,000 now. People in the Thicket fought against the oil com panies. My dad and uncles were the ring-leaders. They organized a gang and went around on horseback, tearing down the fences and oil rigs and whipping the roughnecks. They finally had to bring in the Texas Rangers to quiet things down. Uncle Jack set up a team ing camp, with 18 - mule teams. They dug slush pits and cleared land for the drill ing rigs. He hired the toughest fellows he could find, and one of his muleskinners for a while was Roy Tipton, who had been with the Machine Gun Kelly gang and was bid ing out from the law. I was born about that time, and that's how I came by my first name from Roy Tipton. We don't think Cut JN Shoot is so wild anymore Strangers make out that it is, but we can't get wide-eyed about it because we live here and are used to the way things are. I only wanted to tell about it so that you can see why it is I don't back away from Floyd Patterson or anybody else. Around here, they say that us Harris boys were "born in condition." I've been fighting most of my life, and I've never taken a drink or smoked or chewed. It all adds up to how bad I want the heavyweight championship. Patterson has "it, and I aim to take it from him. i CARDS EYE TOUR St. Louis (UPD St. Louis Cardinal officials are making plans to take the club for, a month-lone tour ot japan after the end of the season.

THRILLS CHILLS SPILLS AUGUST 2 Time Trials at 7:30 p.m. RACES at 8 p.m. COUPON hunting & Foshfing Southern (Oregon By MEL Within the past week as I was driving along in the Rogue valley I heard a radio fishing report that made me wish I could take off right then and there for some of the "terrific" fishing that was supposed to be going on in the surrounding , mountains. I was amazed to hear how good the ' fishing was because of the fact that I had been in telephone contact with these same places only two days previous and the reports with the exception of Upper Kla math lake were that the fish ing' was slow. There'isn't a fishing report er living that wouldn't be happy to be able to report that the fishing was excellent each and every week but un less you want to get back many miles in the "boon docks," the fishing isn't going to be this way. False reports do more harm than good as we in this valley know. TOURISTS GETTING WISE For years now the "fabu lous" fishing on the Rogue has been worn transparent thin and the tourists are getting wise. It is true that there was once fabulous fishing her butv even the most naive must admit that those days are down mem ory lane somewhere. We still have some good fishing but it is spotty. 1 APPRECIATE AID In the years I have reported fishing and hunting I have never, knowingly, given out a false report. It is true that sometimes my information was erroneous and this cor rection was made as soon as possible. I greatly appreciate the help I receive in reporting the fishing in this area from the resort owners and managers. I have found absolutely de pendable the reports I receive from week to week from Bob Sloan, Harriman's resort, Lloyd Morris of Fish lake and Willow Creek reservoir, John ny Koch of Diamond lake and Sid Blood of Four-Mile lake. I have checked these re ports many times with return ing fishermen and found them true each time. In no instance have they reported good fishing when it was slow. PROSPECTS The fishing for the past week and prospects for the coming week end are as follows: -Fish Lake and Willow Creek Reservoir Lloyd Mor ris says that Willow Creek reservoir is fair to good and picking up. With the water lowering in Fish lake the fish ing is starting to pick up. Lloyd says it is still not good but that he figures that it will increase now until it will be good 'ere long. There is, no algae problem this year and the weather is nice and cool! Four-Mile Lake A couple of weeks ago the fishing had been excellent but reports in dicate that it has slowed somewhat now. It should con tinue pretty good for the bal ance of the season with some days better than others. Diamond Lake Fishing is poor according to the lodge. There are a few fish being taken in the evening but gen erally it is very slow. Don't be misled into thinking that the fishing here is over for the season. Diamnd will slack off then get hotter than a pis tol again. Some of the finest fishing almost in the fabu lous class was had last Sep tember so keep tuned to this lake for some really good angling for big fish.

Water Skiing Record Sought Portland (UPD Two Port landers today began their at tempt to break the world's record for distance water ski ing on a Portland-to-Astoria course. Twenty-six - year-old Mark Carpenter, a Portland restau rateur and Jim Hemstreet, a 30-year-old contractor, started their marathon about 3:30 a. m. this morning as they left Swan Island under the tow of a helicopter. v The . aircraft, piloted by Wes Lamatta, of Helicopters, Inc., of Troutdale, was to whisk the skiers at a speed of about 60 miles per hour on a round trip to Astoria. After the first ' circuit, the tow would be transferred to a boat for the .remainder of the rec ord attempt. Carpenter said the world distance mark , is now ' 400 miles, but that the Portland ers hope to crack the 500-mile barrier. J Lru About the Construction Strike A. G. C.

Podoloff was expected to tell the Senators that pro bas ketball favors the bill for much the same reasons as pre viously expressed by leaders of pro baseball, football and hockey. Clarence Campbell, presi dent of the National Hockey league, testified Wednesday that inserting the words "rea sonably necessary" in.he lan guage of the bill, making it exempt only those sports prac tices which are "reasonably necessary" to operation, would force sports into a series of costly lawsuits.
