ford Armory in the Southern Oregon Auto

let Corvette motor is all in chrome, also.

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. The local
sweepstakes award will go to
the best car entered frpm
within a radius of 75 miles of
Medford.
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.
Among the antiques, which
provide the contrast to the
modernistic autos will be Dr.
Russell Barnes 1917 seven
passenger-Studebaker touring
car. The Medford doctor's ma
chine has 38 horsepower, a
speed of 50 miles per hour. It
is reportedly one of less than
five remaining in this country.
There will be a charge for
admission to the show. There
will be a lesser price for chil
dren. Youngsters under six
years of age will be admitted
free. Doors will open at noon
both days. Closing times will
be 10 p.m. Saturday and 8
p.m. Sunday. Trophy presen
tation will precede the Sun
day closing. -

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
