I ' - MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. A Wednesday Feb. 24, 1960 A Man With Pull Last Wednesday morning we had a telephone call from a man who apparently is rath er fond of pink dogs, prefer ably poodles. "I think that's a pretty crummy column you wrote about the pink poodles," he growled. "Okay," we said. "Who' railing nlease?" i "Never mind," our friend snanried. "this is just some body, that's all - and I've got a little Dull!" Three more times we asked him to identify himself, and three times he refused. So we huns ud. Actuallv. we're sorry the conversation ended so abrupt ly. Our friend probably had some important things to say It would have been inter esting, for instance, to learn if he's in favor of pink fire hvdrants. Fnr nink dogs only, of course. The anonymous caller mentioned above, if he'i itill with us. might be pleased to hear that last Friday was one of the worst days of our life. We lost, not necessarily in this order, a car. camera equipment, electric raxor. some cloth ing, a little blood and our senses. Only the last item has been recovered, though there may be those who will ask for further proof. ..We were returning from the annual Oregon Press Conference in Eugene when our small foreign car at tempted to move Sexton Mountain. It was not suc cessful . The car was demolished " and the camera gear and electric . razor apparently were tossed - out onto the highway. The driver was scraped from a ditch and transported to a hospital in Grants Pass. No problems (financially, at least) about the car and doctor bills, but we would like very much to recover the camera equipment. The camera, a Nikon 35mm which cost about $300 a couple of years ago, was in a blue gadget bag along with two light meters,, a flash unit and other miscel laneous gear. If someone found it, or knows who did. we'd cer tainly appreciate a call. In fact, we'll even furnish a reward. And no, it won't be a pink poodle. Let's see now. At 5 cents per word, the classified ad vertising department .. will probably charge us about $10.30 for that last item. Maybe we can pay them with the money we're saving on gas. Speaking of classified ads, we note with some re- 10 lit eel By BOB WALTERS February 28th Leap Year: Who Needs It?

(Photo by Bob Routh) Dr. Graham Writes Article On Furnishing Classroom Ashland - Furnishing a model hish school social studies classroom was the sub ject of an article by Dr. Alva W. Graham, Southern Oregon colleee director of graduate studies, published in "Social Education, official journal of the national council for the social studies. Dr. Graham corresponded with social studies teachers all over southern Oregon to learn the needs for the model room which is planned as one feature of a projected new so cial science building on the SOC campus. The social studies class room should be a laboratory for citizenship training activ ities rather than a formal room for lecture and recita tion." Dr. Graham wrote. 'The use of a wide variety of instructional materials and varied activities promises more effective social studies instruction." Recommended Features Some of the recommended features and equipment for the model classroom include adequate space, direct out side access, indirect lighting, large windows, and several electrical outlets. Students should have the advantages of two and three dimensional man work, book displays, bulletin boards, and storage cabinets, Dr. Graham said. lief that the Lady Medford Beauty Salon, though still listed - under "Lost and Found." has been found. In these days of payola, however, it wouldn't be wise to tell you where they found it. Anyway, congratulations to the owners. With Your Family Wo4JcIjr Medford Mail Tribune The author also emphasized the necessity of providing a minimum of audio - visual equipment, namely opaque projector; slide, film, and film strip projectors; a radio; a TV projector; a phonograph; films; film strips, etc. "No classroom need be equipped initially with an abundance," Dr. Graham con cluded. "The teacher and his students, depending upon their developing interests and the resources of the commun ity, will add to the materials in the classroom." Rural Reflections Applegate Valley Joe Fos ser was in a reminiscent mood as to newcomers in the com munity and was telling about the time he and Ray Lampkin were racing cars on the same team in Canada and the Unit ed States 40 years ago, and that Ray was captain of an auto polo team. Mr. and Mrs. Lampkin ar rived from Culver City this week to take possession of their new- home, the former Hugh Scovel place. Joe lives at 1111 North Riverside in Medford, and says that he and Ray bought the John Ballard place on Beaver creek about 20 years ago, and Ray had a cabin there for vacations. He reports Mr. and Mrs. Lampkin were among the first to raise Weimeraner dogs in this country from which they gained nation - wide recognition. He says Ray has been connected with MGM studios for 35 years, and has planned retirement in Oregon for some time. By MARY KELL Mail Tribune Correspondent Gold Hill-A year book which explains the United Arab Republic's system of government was received by Sherman J. Kiger, eighth grade pupil at Hanby Ele mentary school. A plain white card on which was printed "With the compliments of Gamal Abdel Nasser, presi dent of the United Arab Re public" accompanied the book. Both are printed in English. In a letter to President Nasser last January, Sherman extended his congratulations on the progress of the Aswan Dam project and wrote that he would like to study more about him and his republic. When the book arrived this month, Sherman said he was pleased and surprised that a man of Nasser's importance would take time to think of him. The book is dedicated to be a meeting between the peo ple of the UAR, to those friendly peoples who eyed sympathetically the UAR struggle for freedom, to those who watched with interest the giant strides it made in the different sectors of devel opment and to those who put out a helping hand to offer support during the dark hours. Between the covers of the book, published in June, 1959, the compiled data of scien tific facts, fieures and statis tics taken from their particu lar sources are arranged in specific parts and chapters so the reader may understand details of the UAR system of government. Officials of the UAR believe sharing this knowledge is essential for ine development and growth of their country. ImDortant events from July 23, 1952 through May 22, 1959, inclu sive are listed on the pages of the volume as well as pic tures relative to outstanding affairs. Republic Described Two regions make up the United Arab ReDublic. The Syrian region situated on the western corner of the Asian continent is an area of ap proximately 23.000 s a u a r e miles. The Egyptian reeion nrrn- pies the northeastern corner oi tne African continent an area of approximately 360, 000 square miles. Both rt. ions represent the kevs to thp Arab world, and they occupy an important geographical po sition because of their situa tion in the midst of the old world, x In the book, an at tempt was made to record the realities of life of the peo ple of these two regions. Among some of the major topics covered in the volume include various phases of the Suez Canal; the UAR eco nomic DOlicv; transportation facilities; the UAR interest in international exhibitions and fairs; foreign trade; exports; imports; currency affairs; tax ation and customs; industrial progress since 1952 and facto ries and industries relative to electricity; the Aswan Dam; foodstuffs; raw materials; ag riculture: minerals: living standards set by the state for public Health; rules and regu lations on errmlovment- waff ps and trade unions; old age in surance programs; atomic en ergy organization; scientific research; communications; ed ucation; apprenticeship and vocational training programs. economic Policy One asDect of the TTAR nomic policy is to include ex D e n s e s ' for vocational anrl technical training for students and employees of the Institu tion for Economic Develon- ment within the country and aoroad, as well as administra tion expenses for the Eco nomic Council. Special efforts are made to provide Youth Welfare activ ities to create good citizens. The objectives of physical training are somewhat similar to those in the United States Their local and international sporting activities are encour aged through sports unions and clubs. The state plays an impor tant role in developing the talents and hobbies of their young people.

The theme for a scries of eight discussion groups during the week is "Campus Gods and Christian Faith." Dr. D. K. West of the Med ford First Presbyterian church will begin the series today with a discussion of "Humani tarianism." Rev. R. L. Corn wall, Ashland Assembly of God church, will continue with a talk on "God." "Ma terialism as a Campus God," by Rev. Clynton Crisman of the Medford Friends church, will complete today's sched ule. Thursday, Rev. John Rey nolds of the Westminster Presbyterian church in Med ford, will speak to SOC stu dents on "Security." Rev. E. E. Crawford, Ashland Nazar ene church, will discuss "Con formity," and ' Rev. C. E. Goins, Ashland First Baptist church, will talk on "Prog ress."

Dallas Mc Neil, from the Klamath Falls First Methodist church, will conclude the series Friday, speaking on "Scientism." United Arab Republic began last year while he was study ing Africa in Dean Robert's seventh grade social studies class. His topic was on poli tical divisions. Although his teacher suggested that he might obtain more complete information by writing to Af rican countries, it was not an assignment. However, Sherman, deter mined to make a good report, selected six different African countries to write letters in which he asked what they thought of United States for eign policy as well as about problems which existed in these various countries. About two months later he received his first communica tion, a letter from President Nasser thanking him for his letter of Feb. 2, 1959. In this mesage, President Nasser said one of the most dangerous fea tures of the external policy of the United States is the "ap parent deviation from your ideals that were declared dur ing and before the last World War." (This letter was pub lished in full May 10, 1959 in the Mail Tribune.) 'Happy New Year' Sherman received a second message from President Nas ser about the first of January, 1960. It was in the form of a card similar to our "Season's Greetings" except that it op ened just the opposite. Inside was printed "The President Gamal Abdel Nasser extends his best wishes for, the New Year." Sherman is the 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Kiger Sr., Gold Hill. He has one brother, Darrell, a sixth grader at Hanby. Mrs. Kiger said Sherman has definitely broadened his interest in read ing of Africa, as well as other foreign countries, since he re ceived these communications from President Nasser. Besides his international in terests, Sherman participates in sports in conjunction with school activities. He was elect ed captain at the football ban quet held honoring the play ers last fall. His outdoor hob bies include fishing, hunting, hiking, panning gold, and ex ploring old mine shafts. Sher man also enjoys music, and especially likes to sing and play his guitar. Emphasis ins at SOC In addition to the discus sions of Campus Gods, Relig ious Emphasis week will in clude a showing of "Tangiers Story," the filmed narrative of two missionaries with a Mos lem guide who has been con verted to Communism. A special lecture by Rabbi Gerald Raiskin, spiritual lead er of Temple Sholom, San Mateo, Calif., will be given Wednesday at 1 p.m. in a gen eral assembly. The rabbi, rep resenting the Jewish Chau tauqua society, will speak on "Mysterium Tremendum." He is co-author of a text for the teaching of the Bible in He brew, vice-president of the San Francisco Zionist Organi zation of America, and a mem ber of the executive board of the San Francisco Jewish con gress. Final Activity The final activity of Relig ious Emphasis week will be a "get-acquainted tea" in Britt center Sunday afternoon. Dr. Elmo Stevenson, president of Southern Oregon college, will greet the guests, and a pro gram of spiritual music will be given by the college choir. The tea is proposed to give students and faculty an op portunity to meet the visiting clergy personally. Official's Mother Injured in Fall Central Point - Lyle Paull, city administrator, was called to Coquille last week due to injuries his mother had re ceived. His mother, Mrs. Martha Paull, who is 74 and a semi invalid, had slipped from a chair and fallen, breaking her leg between the knee and the hip. Doctors reported that heal ing would be a long, slow process because the bone had shrunk to the point that it was impossible to put in a pin, which would make for a speedier, more comfortable healing.

Lone Pine Home Damaged by Fire Lone Pine - Fire which started in a children's base ment "fort" caused heavy smoke damage to the 2570 Springbrook rd. home of Mr. and Mrs. William Esselstyn Monday evening. The fire apparently was caused by an overheated light bulb which set some blankets in the fort to smoldering. The blankets ignited oil which had leaked from the furnace. Esselstyn, a teacher at Wil son Elementary school, had returned from a local hospital only the night before after an attack of pneumonia. When his children discovered the fire, they awakened their father and local firemen were summoned. Mrs. Esselstyn was at work at the time of the mishap.
