Two-Day Autorama Opens on Saturday A glittering assemblage of personalized autos will be on display Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings at the Medford Armory. . The occasion is Mike Bat inich's second Southern Ore gon Autorama. His show will include some 42 customized, hot rod and antique automobiles, making not only a colorful array but depicting engineering ingenui ty. The big number of the en tries will give a sample of the originality of individual designers o ftoday. They show an interesting variation of conceptions for automobiles of tomorrow.. Manufacturers do not underestimate the poten- r.t it a n-utiva minds he- Ufll VI (hind such cars. From such have emerged the regular de signs of today. And, many of the ideas may be accepted in the future. . , mere are exmouurs h numerous Oregon and Cali fornia communities and from Idaho and British Columbia. Many of the custom cars will have parts and accessories from a variety of other makes 3f autos in addition to re designing features. It is stressed that the Auto rama is not a hot rod show but one of creative ability and some of the cars are said to be fantastic creations, the result of the automotive en tbusiasts trying to outdo each " ether. The show will be complete ly new from the first Auto rama last January with the exception that two of last year's sweepstakes winners will be entered. Batinich has offered huge custom car and hot rod sweepstakes trophies. There will be a trophy aiso for the best local entry and the antiques will have their share of attention.

Exhibitors from within the Rogue river valley will in clude Bill Snyder and Keith Wilson, Ashland; Buzz Heard, Talent, and Don Burnison, Mike Gorman and Jerry Coop er, Ashland.

Riverside Medfcrrd Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss Top-Rated Clubs Bill Tests Most people, when they take the time to stop and look around, realize we are some of the luckiest people on the face of the earth. There aren't many of the world's popula tion who can live next door to the variety of recreation we have right here in the Rogue River valley. Even if we don't use what we have through some active type of sport, we can still glory in the scenes and views that are ours with only the effort of opening our eyes and looking. PLEASE DON'Tl ' There has been an active campaign for the past sev eral years to lessen the mountains of trash that lit er our state and spoil many of our scenes and views. Beer bottle breakage and tin can contamination is spread ing to such a degree that it isn't safe to take off your shoes in a public place. All of the reminders to the po tential litlerbug have had little effect and we are now forced to take the next step in trying to stop the gradual spoilage of our outdoor liv ing room. MORE LAWS There are people who crab about all the laws it seems to take in order for us to live to gether. We wouldn't need the laws if we lived apart, it's the living together so closely that brings them to be. Now we have laws for the litterbug. A $100 fine or 30 days for litter ing highways or private prop erty and a fine of $50 for lit tering within 100 yards of any stream, lake, reservoir or pond. The laws seem to be necessary, but they aren't go ing to be worth the paper they're written on if the law isn't enforced when it's brok en. Anyone who visited the picnic area at McKee bridge this summer would agree that some of the carelessness of our more rude and crude neighbors should be curtailed and if it takes a $50 or $100 fine to convince them, then that should be tried. WHAT WAS THE INTENT? It is the understanding of this writer that the Howard Prairie death trap isn't the only one of its type to have . been built by the bureau of reclamation. It seems that Colorado has had the expe rience of having a canal built in the same way through a migration route of a dear herd and suffer ing heavy losses of deer through drowning in the canal from which there is no escape. Heretofore, I was of the opinion that the How ard Prairie fiasco was a mis lake on the part of engi neers who thought they could think like deer. Now, I am more of the opinion that the people of the B of R just don't give a darn. WHO'S RUNNING WHO? Is this the action of a gov ernmental agency that is operating as an expression of the best interests of the peo ple as a whole, or is it the action of a group of people who feel responsible only to ward a small select group of individuals who will directly benefit from their work? It's high time that this particular agency was curtailed in its wholesale destruction of val ues which have a high prior ity in the minds of most peo ple. When experts make a recommendation regarding that which they are trained to know, the recommendation should not be cast aside with the ignorant remark that "we don't think it necessary." Let's make a halter for the B of R. THE ANGLER'S LOG The water behind Savage Rapids dam has been re leased and the Rogue should take the week end to clear enough to be fishable. The silvers are in the Illinois and will be held below the falls until the r;ver has a raise. There are a lot of chinook with them and since they fall victim to the hook sometimes, the angler should know a legal silver from an illegal chinook. WHAT A SILVER? The silver salmon can be told apart from a chinook by the -whitish lip lining and mouth. The chinook has a black mouth. 'The silver has small spots widely scattered over its upper body where a chinook has many large spots. A female silver -sometimes is confused with a female steel head and can be easily identi fied by the fact of its stiff salmon-like tail as contrasted with the soft pliable of the steelhead. The steelhead has the . completely white mouth characteristic of all trout. THAT KLAMATH! , Those fishermen with a California- license ought to take the hike over the hill to the Klamath river. There . are some wild stories being whispered around and if . they're only half true, there ought to be some good fish ing there this week end. Where are the fish? Well, it's a long river and those carnsarned fish just . don't stay in one spot. If you go up the river you might get skunked and if you go down the river you might get skunked. I know - which rock was good last week but this week it may be just hard and not hot at all. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER It's too bad we need so many laws in order to live together but we all need to be reminded we are living with others. I don't think any of us litter the countryside with the intent of making it United Press1 International Defending state champion Jeferson, top-ranked Medford, always-strong Marshfield and South Salem get their tough est tests to date this weekend in their 1959 high school title bids. , . Jefferson and its high scor ing quarterback, Mel Renfro, run up against unbeaten, un tied Lincoln in the Portland showdown. Medford, which lost to Jeff in last year's title A-l , game, meets Grants Pass on its home field with the winner getting the district crown. Marshfield, unbeaten in its district, plays North Bend, which has lost one district game. J. i : Yoncalla, Powers Meet , South SaIem,4-0 in district play, tangles with North Sa lem, 3-1. look ugly. It's just that we don't think beyond the imme diate moment and figure that the little bit of litter we're causing won't hurt anything. It takes time to learn. GOOD LUCK! Sandy, Pendleton and St, Helens already have quali fied for A-l playoff berths. David Douglas and Central Catholic are leading contend ers for the other. Central Catholic meets Astoria ' and David Douglas plays Clacka mas this weekend. In class A-2 Willamina and Philomath, both 7-0,. clash. Si uslaw meets Reedsport and Coquille plays Myrtle Point in other important games. The top class B game will see Powers at Yoncalla Sat urday for the distcict 4 title. The winner wil be favored for the state crown. White wall tires were speci fied on 55.2 per cent of all new cars purchased in 1958. Among automobile owners who replaced their tires, 40.8 per cent specified white walls. Mail tribune, MedW, or.
