O MAIL TRIBUNE. Mc4fBl. a, . t b0ld HlllMayr Star Ranerer Station Has 'Tough Season' Outon a Unto Br BOB WALTERS A Dog's Life Generally, we're very fond of dogs. Tall dogs, short dogs, long dogs, fat dogs and skin ny dogs. Saturday afternoon, how ever, we saw a dog which we did not like. It was a poodle, and it was pink. Very pink. This pooch, nestled in the arms of its female owner, looked pretty silly, which is an understatement. It also looked embarrassed, which it had a right to It's bad enough to see one pink pup, but think what might happen if this sort of thing became a fad. Some fly-by-night operator might hit town and set up a business. He'd have to have a good catch slogan, of course: DYE YOUR PUPPY PINK! AMAZE YOUR FRIENDS! WIN NEW ENEMIES! But let's be objective. There surely must be a place in this big, wonderful world of ours for pink dogs as well as the people who dye their dogs pink. Perhaps they'll dig it soon. Sam Be II ah. former Olympic athlete who was the subject of a feature story in Sunday's Mail Tri bune, says he did a brief stint in the newspaper busi ness. He covered the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden for one of the Port land papers. He wrote several stories during the games as well as a wrap-up article after the U.S. team came home, he says, and "they printed very story I wrote and wanted more." "Matter of fact," he adds, somewhat wistfully, "they still owe me S20 for one of them!" Give them ,time, Sam. You've only waited 48 years. Last Wednesday, we de scribed the difficulty most of our first-time visitors have in finding the right door out of the news room and asked this question: What looks funnier than a well-dressed gentle man saying 'Thanks for your help" and then dashing into a two-by-four men's room carrying a brief case? Mrs. Marjorie Hochstatter of Medford took the question- Resources Meet Gold Hill - Mayor Milton Steinmetz attended the Rogue Basin Flood Control and W ter Resources association meeting held in Grants Pass Monday evening as a voting delegate representing the Gold Hill city council. Alva A. Walker, longtime resident of Gold Hill, was among the five directors who were re-elected. Others were Bill Jess, Shady Cove, How ard Norwood, Rogue River, and Ben Hilton and Fay Bris tol, both of Grants Pass. These men comprised the original board of directors, elected in 1956, Walker said. Walker represented the Gold Hill Lions club and Gold Hill Grange as a voting delegate. Mrs. Alva A. Walker and Leonard Andrews attend ed as representatives of the Amethyst Rebekah and Odd Fellows lodges. Walker stated that there are about 110 sponsoring groups. The Gold Hill groups represented Monday were among approximately 40 or 50 organizations which had voting delegates at the annual session. He said a number of other residents of this community attended the meeting. FIRE DEPARTMENT MEETS Hornbrook - The local vol unteer fire department at its meeting last Wednesday ap pointed a committee to go to Grenada to inspect a truck the department is considering buying. The meeting, con ducted by Fire Chief Glen Shinar, was attended by 20 persons. SIM tos Rural Reflections By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley-It is most fun to write about folks when they don't suspect it. Lucy Sample says she doesn't make a good news reporter because when something ex citing comes up, she gets car ried along with it and forgets all about reporting. . Bill Barker is busy with his state meat inspection job these days, and was trying to send his daughter Madge to 4-H electricity meeting. It was his son Louie who wanted to go. mark literally and came back with this answer: "A woman in the same pre dicament!" Her letter was signed, "Ex perienced." Ed Singmasler, whose resignation from the chair manship of the Ashland public library and from membership on the hospital board was accepted "with regret" by Ashland Mayor Richard L. Neill last week, was, we're told, doing a top notch job in both capacities. His reason for resigning was that he had moved out side the city limits since being appointed to the two boards, a fact the mayor and council apparently had overlooked because of Sing master's excellent work. The issue, we understand, was not an issue at all until "it was "pushed" by one of the town's newer and. largely because of his posi tion, more prominent residents. CP Dimes Drive Tops $1,600 Mark Central Point - More than SI, 600 was donated to the March of Dimes by Central Point residents during the re cent drive here, Chairman Ernie Kennedy has reported.

Sutfell Reviews Activities of Past 8 Months , Ranger Lauds Public For Controlling Fires By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley - In re viewing the past eight months of activity in the forest serv ice, Ranger Neil Suttell at Star Ranger station expressed his appreciation for the pub lic's cooperation in control ling fires last summer. "It was . a tough season," Suttell said, "and with 30,000 visitors using McKee camp ground and considering hunt ers and countless other recre ationists using the forest areas - supposing they, had been careless? We wouldn't have had a chance." "They did a wonderful job," the ranger added. One of the early fall proj ects included nearly two miles of range fencing on the Siskiyou summit to eliminate trespassing cattle between Rogue River National forest and Klamath National forest in California. Fencing also was erected in Glade creek drainage area as a part of range manage ment planning. This is a zone fence which will divide graz ing areas into very large pas tures, and will set up deferred rotation of pasturage. Spraying of 10 acres of al der as a range betterment project also was accomplished with application of 24-D and 245-T. Motor Trip Another project of the sum mer was a combined motor trip of 30 forest service men and members of Oregon State Cattlemen's association over the range to discuss prob lems and to observe brush fields, timber types, water trenching, and condition of cattle.

The proj ect was attached to the Steve Fork timber sale, and was completed by the Double Dee Lumber company with Bob Jacks of Gold Hill doing, both the road and 'logging .con tracts.
