6 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, August 17, 1958 Is That So? ANGORA GOAT SOUGHT Baghdad Via MEA Refrigeration is no problem for Kurds, Bedouins and other nomadic tribes of the Middle East. The reason is that the time lag between slaughtering and eating is only that -which is required for cooking. We had an excellent exam ple of this when we went to dine with a minor Kurdish cnief. As we neared the tent, two boys led up an Angora billy goat for inspection by a man standing nearby. He looked to me like a valuable animal. His coat of soft, silky hair, half grown after the spring shearing, was already beginning to lie against his body in matted ringlets. J paid no more attention to him There were sheep nearby, and on the basis of past experi ence that was what we would have for dinner. Muilon Was Angora The mutton we got, how ever, was Angora. When din ner was served some hours later, on the floor, the main dish consisted of two goats roasted whole and brought in on enormous trays of brass. It was a special honor. The Turks, to whom the Kurds are nearest related, have" long preferred Angoras to any other breedof sheep or goats,' in fact, to any other kind of meat at all. They have good reason. The meat was de licious. But judging from the gusto with which our host waded into the roast goat he prob ably regarded our visit more as an excuse for a good feast than anything else. He had one regret that he couldn't offer us any pasang, one of the wild goats which he used to hunt as a youth in Kurdis tan before the Russians closed the frontier. At a gesture, one of his men disappeared briefly and re turned with a set of pasang Clever Classmates I ' ' SIZES in 1 1 Teens!

By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist horns from one of the animals he had killed. The horns were a good 18 inches long. They had a scimitar-like, backward sweep. The resemblance to the famous cutting weapon of the Middle East was heightened further by their sharp front edges. They were so sharp I exam ined them carefully to see if they had been edged by man. They hadn't been. The buck had done it himself, as one could tell by the wear on the bosses that lay at irregular in tervals, like small knobs, along the horn.

Hoffa with a sign its labors were bearing fruit. Court - appointed -monitors for the Teamsters Union late Friday recommended proceed ings which could lead to oust er of Owen (Bert) Brennan, Teamster vice president and Hoffa's close buddy. The monitor's action brought praise from members of the committee, which de veloped testimony that led up to the recommendation. A 'Good Sign' Chairman John L. McClel lan (D-Ark.), said the moni tors should "move to the lim it of their power in areas where the committee's inves tigation has revealed corrup tion and wrong-doing." Another committee mem ber. Sen. Karl E. Mundt.(R S.D.), said the action was "a good sign the monitors mean business." Monitors Urge Charges The monitors by a 2-1 vote urged that Brennan be charged by the union with misuse of funds and engaging in activities which bring the 1,500,000 -member organiza tion into disrepute. The mon itors fixed a 10-day deadline for the union to comply with their recommendations. They presumably could ask a fed eral judge for a court order to enforce the proposals if the union balked. At issue was the payment of $75 a week for two years from Teamster welfare funds to Embrel Davidson, a former Detroit heavyweight boxer once managed by Brennan. Mrs. Reuben Cock of Kerby.

NEALON Table Rock A monster rattle snake, 48 inches long and having nine rattles, was killed recently near the John Peterson place by Mrs. Wil liam Bishop and Mrs. Nor man Matteson and their child ren. Several members of the group took part in the kill. The two families were re turning home from a trip to Grants Pass when the reptile was noticed crossing the road. Paul Schulz, Sams Valley farmer, combined grain here i last week and reports the yield lighter than usual, with a heavy growth of weeds caused by late rains. Keith Hockersmith, nutri tional specialist for the Grange Coop, was browsing around these parts Thursday trying to find out how much money, if any, farmers will have left after harvest to buy fertilizer for next year's crop. He says all the storage space at the Coop is now filled with local grain wnich win run them until the first of the year. Mrs. William Bishop and four girls left Tuesday for their home in Kansas City, Kan. after some six weeks spent here with relatives and friends, during which time they were kept busy, with picnics and parties given by their friends, and the weather man putting on two miniture cyclones to add a Kansas touch. The youngsters seemed to enjoy themselves immensely, back among familiar scenes and among the many cousins, aunts and uncles. Starting on their arrival here with play houses and taming old black puss, kittens, finding the wood peckers home in the big pine and watching mother woodpecker bring food to the little red heads, seeing the brown cow milked, and wondering if she gave homo-' genized milk, ending their last week with daily swims in Rogue river. Having such a lively, happy bunch of kids around for several weeks makes us feel a bit lonesome ! since their departure. The first working model, which has since been revised somewhat, of the X - Plorer Rocket toy, now being manu factured in Medford by a company employing handi capped persons, was designed and built by Ed Pierce, a former Table Rock resident, according to his brother, Bert, an employee of Modoc or chard. Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Geb hard and infant son are now living in the J. L. Nealon house vacated some time ago by the Stanley Wallin family. Our story about William Gore fording Rogue river on horse-back was misleading as it read as if Gore had to swim. It was the horse only, the rider just couldn't hold his feet high enough to keep dry. Roy Carley, a Sams Valley farmer, whose side hill land is adapted to the growing of rye, was a recent caller here and brought us a loaf of rye bread baked at the Big Y bakery. The rye flour was Carley's rye and was ground at the Putman mill at Eagle Point, on the same stone used when the mill was built some 86 years ago by Dick Daily who started grinding flour, July 3, 1872. The 22-oz. loaf given us was really delicious and we wondered if the combination of Carley's rye, being stone ground, and baked by some one who knows how to make dark bread, made it so won derful. TouVelle Park has become very popular as a place for picnics. A recent Sunday the park was host to some nine picnics from birthday anni versaries to bee keepers.

About 60 persons attended from local and out-of-state points. A picnic dinner in- the shade of the big oaks at the J. S. Richardson home was held last Sunday and was at tended by many relatives in honor of the Donald Richard son family of Portland. The Richardsons are spend ing their annual vacation here with home folks and are doing quite a little fishing in their favorite streams in higher ele vations, where the waters are cold and the trout firm and eager for grasshopper bait. Among the attractions they have visited is the Shakes peare festival and the Bill Bray Auction yards. Due to the heavy demand for- tables and space by pic nicers at TouVelle park, the caretaker has made a new ruling to the effect that those wanting tables and space must "stake their claim" by 8 a.m. lhe dav thev intend to use it. I Pear picking is underway in local orchards with plenty of help, some having been turned away. The Melvin Harper family of Portland and the. Chancy Harper family of Los Ange les were recent visitors with relatives at the Herschel Har per home. Dr. Inskeep was out this way the other morning for a supply of cantaloupes. A hun gry mosquito attacked the doctor, who is allergic to mo squito bites below the belt, which caused him to cut his visit short. Bessie says if we had a man like that running the health department the mo squitoes would have a rough time. A pretty Table Rock miss tells us she has discarded her modified sack dress, for which we commend her highly, al though she is of a type that could be attractive in any style of dress . she chose to wear. On the farm there are many kinds of sacks from 50 lb. potato sacks, to wool sacks that you can pack in some 200 lbs. of wool, from which they probably got the sack dress idea. We hope the fair sex doesn't go ' to the other ex treme now of wearing the knee length dress like they did some 16 years ago. We used to feel sorry for a modest little red head that stayed with us while her sol dier husband was training at Camp White. While seated around the fire place eve nings, she seemed to be con stantly trying to keep her skirt from creeping. Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Wehde of the Trail creek district were recent business visitors here. Wehde thought he had discovered a new weed which he saw in the Beagle district, te field being covered with a plant with a yellow blossom and prickly leaves like Ore gon grape. In checking, we found it was safflower, and was sown by Earl Peffley. The seed, it is claimed, is valuable for making medi cine. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Tay lor recently made a trip with friends to Canada, spending severar days along the coast in the Vaucouver province. Dick Morris is wearing a Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Hearing Secret Russia May Have Atomic Sub Too London (UPD One of the world's best informed naval authorities said yesterday that the Russians will have an atomic submarine soon if they do not already have one. The expert, who asked that he not be identified, said the Russians have had an atomic submarine under develop ment for some time. "It is a mistake to under estimate the Russians in navy design or . imagination,", he said. "Anything we can do, they can do." The Soviet Army news paper Red Star hinted Friday that Russian submarines are capable of matching the epic under-the-North-Pole voyage of the American atomic-powered submarine Nautilus. new style of head gear, un der which is a row of stitches that makes his cranium look like a new football.

Emmett Stoddard, director of field services for the West Coast Lumbermen's associa tion, said that the averrge log ging cost of seven of the largest operators in the coun ty was $32.03 per thousand feet, compared with the $27 30 range used by the Tax Commission appraisers. Norman Bjorklund, assist ant secretary of the Industrial Forestry association, testified that an analysis of logging cost figures of eight of Lane county's major operators re vealed a $32.45 average. Logging costs are one of the major factors in the set ting of timber values.
