Buy-Build Plan Is Favored by Chamber Members in Survey Members of the Jackson County Chamber of Com merce have indicated they favor purchasing a site and building a chamber office in Medford, according to in complete results of a poll taken of the membership. ; Manager Don McNeil re ported at a board of directors meeting last week that of 711 questionnaire post cards mailed to members, 308 re plies had been returned. Of those returned, he said 270 favored buying property and building, 27 voted to continue renting office space, and 11 made . miscellaneous sugges tions. - The question asked was whether the Chamber should enter into a purchase-building program within its rental budget or continue to rent space. The board authorized the building committee to con tinue its study, looking to ward an early decision. Clarence Young was ap pointed chairman of the new awards committee, which is in charge of selecting those firms and individuals, who merit chamber awards. Jerry Latham, vice president of the chamber, was assigned to make one of the awards to the Rogue Valley State Bank on . the opening of its new branch yesterday. Several other awards also were authorized. . Bill Dawkins, Medford, rep resenting the California Ore gon Power company, report ed on the recent Electronic Show and Convention in San Francisco.

The group specifically wanted to get ac quainted with top executives in the industry, to find out what the electronics industry wanted and needed in choos ing sites, and dispel erroneous ideas held by many people about Oregon. Dawkins said he knew of at least six firms which had already expressed an interest in Oregon, and said that Dave Irving of the California Ore gon Power, company who at tended the show and conven tion had been in California twice recently to provide ad ditional information on south ern Oregon.

Forest Industry May Speed Study Portland -IUPD - Oregon's forest industry may speed the work of an interim legisla tive committee on timber tax ation with a grant of $12,800. Rep. Clarence Barton (D Coquille), chairman of the In terim Committee on Taxa tion, said such a contribution would allow a crash program "that would have the infor mation ready for the 1961 Legislature." Otherwise, he said, the study might not be finished until 1963 or 1965. ' The Oregon Committee on Forest Taxation of the Indus trial Forestry association vot ed Friday to refer the sugges tion, to the IFA's board of directors, and the Timber Taxation Subcommittee of the Legislative Interim Commit tee on Taxation voted to ac cept the donation if it is of fered.

A UTUMM Seasons ST of a Hj a Bird Watcher W " NOW '4.00 OFF FOR 2 WEEKS Or3LY! SUMMER . The seasons are "changing again and so are the birds. It is only natural that with their power of flight, birds are always on the move. That is some of them always are. Some may find a place they like and stay close to it all their lives. We almost always seem to have a pair of tit mice around the home place and I suppose they are the same individuals, but I could never be sure without band ing them. - . ;- Speaking of changes, though, the first white crowned sparrow arrived back on our place on Sept. 11, three days later than last year. I immediately started throwing V little chick scratch on the grass where they are used to finding it and by now I have three white-crowns, the brown tow- hees that have been on the place all summer, one or two rufous-sided towhees that also recently arrived, one or more song sparrows, a good sized flock of quail and the inevitable house sparrows. Some of the quail were late in having their families this year; the young ones aren't fully grown yet. A brown towhee was feeding a full-grown youngster, too, so there , was evidently some late nesting. The movement of biiTj I mentioned is shown best by the birds on the home place because it. is the only place that observe very constantly. Last week I found 34 spe cies of birds on it compared to only 24 on a week in early July. . ' Yellow warblers' have been about the most numerous species. They and other warhlers flit about among the leaves of the trees so fast that it is hard to get the binocu lars on them long enough to make an identification. The lesser goldfinches (which are also yellowish) are much more accommodating about perching on a wire or a branch. As far as the summer goes, everybody seems to agree that it was unusually hot and dry in these parts. I don't know whether this had any serious effect on the birds. As far as I have been able to observe, though, the acorn crop is pretty small in the hills. I know that on our place the only trees that, are bearing heavily are the ones that grow where we have been running the sprinklers. If the acorn crop is short it would seem to be hard on squirrels, acorn woodpeckers, jays and many other acotn eaters. How ever, many of them lived through an even shorter crop the year we bad that severe killing frost on May 1. On our vacation this year we went to Portland and then to Wisconsin, where we stayed for 10 days, then to Chicago, to Denver, where we stayed for two days, and so home. Our primary purpose was to see grandchildren and in this we were very successful. We saw nine alto gether. Looking' for birds added a great side interest to the trip, though. Our total list for the three-week trip was 98 species.' This compares with 137 on our California trip last year, but we drove our car then. Identifying birds from a train window calls for some quick 'eye work and most of the time I didn't succeed. ? I took several short bird walks in the residential sec tion of Neenah, Wis. Once on such a walk I had a surprise interview with two policemen who got out of- their car quickly when they saw me. They said a resident had reported me. because I answered part of the description ("tall and thin") of an escapee from a mental institution. It is common to think that bird watchers are "nutty" but this is the first time-1 ever had the police after me. After a short talk they told me to go on watching birds as much as I liked. Two days of the trip were outstanding for birds. One was the day we went to' an attractive state park on the shore of Lake Michigan. There I saw Bonaparte's gulls for the first time in my life. j The other was a trip out of Denver to the top of Mt. Evans. Around the outlet of Echo lake, quite high in the mountains, the trees and bushes were jusf alive with birds. I identified nine species in a short time, including red crossbills, but our time was limited. Bird life continued all the way to the summit of this more than 14,000 ft. mountain. Along the highest part of . the road and also at the summit the birds I saw were water pipits.-T. M.
