K 1 : r 'TMBUNl.M.a.rf.e,. Shady Cove School Students See Archerv Demonstration By Evalyn P. Walton Mail Tribune Correspondent Shady Cove -Trail - Stu dents of the Shady Cove school saw a program of arch ery put on at the school Fri day afternoon by Mr. and Mrs. Duke Gordon of Santa Monica, Calif., under the aus pices of the National School assembly. The Gordons, who are in their fifth year of this work, demonstrated the art cf arch ery to the students, including all types of skill shooting. They shot through six maga zines with hunting broadhead to show that the bow and ar row is not a toy. Their equipment ranges from a 17th century crossbow to the most modern archery equipment and Mr. Gordon has bows that he shows from all over the world, some dat ing back 300 years. Audience Participates Teachers and students also took part. Don Cattanach, 8th grade teacher, shot the cross bow rifle; Jim Brewer, a stu dent, the cross bow pistol and another student, Diane Stelle. shot the blow gun. Harry and George, puppets, are used in stead of live models for tar gets. . . Gordon, who started arch ery as a hobby in 1940, nas been working with the Na tional School assembly for the past five years, and has traveled through 29 states on tours of grade schools, high schools and colleges. The Shady Cove school was in cluded in the first elementary circuit they have been on in Oregon.

Award Winner Gordon previously was en gaged in youth work with the Open Your Heart association in Los Angeles, which was composed of 13 archery clubs, that took boys who were wards of the court to the arch ery ranges once each month. He was the national award winner for field archery in 1940, and has made two mov ies, "Introduction to Field Archery" and "Instruction in Safety," produced by the Har old C. Ambrosch productions in Glendale, Calif. Included in his equipment are 40 and 41-pound bows for exhibition purposes and a 61 pound weapon for demon strating penetration possibili ties. Also exhibited are mod ern and ancient Turkish cross bows and an all leather quiver made in Persia by an Ameri can major. The bow collection is valued at $3,000. The Gordons left informa tion necessary for starting an archery club in the area with William Shepherd, Shady Cove School principal. They emphasized that archery is not only a sport for the young but can be continued in later life. They are personally acquaint ed with men who are 87 and still shooting and recently met an oldster who was just giv ing up the sport at the age of 91. Field archery covers 20 acres and is laid out like a golf course. There are 28 tar gets which range in distance Pot, Cup After Cup... x VACUUM PACKED from 10 yards at a 6-inch bullseye target to 80 yards at a 24-inch bullseye target.

REGULAR GRIND restaurants all this century Outon a Limb) By BOB WALTERS Colorful Canines Poodles, telephones and Life Savers have something in common. They all come in as sorted colors. Pink poodles were bad enough, but now there's a gold one sniffing around the area. An Eagl Point couple were celebrating their golden wedding anniversary and their grandchildren, decided their dog should get in the spirit of the occasion. So they used some yellow food coloring on the poor hound. This could be carried a step further. Several steps further, in fact. On Christmas, they could paint a star on the unsuspect ing pup's forehead and deck it with tree lights. Or maybe bows of holly. For a birthday party, they could bake it inside a cake. At tne rigut moment, the c.og could leap through the top of the cake, bark (or shout "Happy Birthday" if it hap pens to be a talking dog) and break into a quick soft-shoe routine. But the Fourth eJ July would be the clincher. Then they could dye it red, white and blue, put an Amer ican flag between its teeth and strap it to a rocket. Dogs have always howled at the moon. It's only fair that a dog should be the first one to get there. An ad in yesterday's pa per aroused our curiosity. ,The owner of a 1960 model car offered to sell his $750 equity "or trade for four horse team and wagon wilib ten mile nosebag." . Craig Gates of Phoenix, who placed the ad, said he's leaving the area and has to sell the car in order to get a pickup truck to haul his . belongings. He'd rather jusi s.ell th,e equity, but he would appre ciate a call if you are in terested in trading the wa,g, on learn. The horses, he said, should get at least 2i0 miles to a pound of oais. When Mrs. Jess L. Groves sets out to bake some bread, shes' like the legendary post man who trudges through a blizzard to deliver the mail. Nothing can stop her. Mrs. Groves, whose home is on Old Stage rd., was doing some baking one clay last week, reports Central Point Correspondent Doris Hughes, when a flue fire broke out. CP. Rural firemen rushed to the scene and extinguished it, but not without the usual mess that goes with putting out a fire. In the midst of the general excitement and disorder, Mrs. Groves, known to many as "Ma," pulled her electric stove aside, plugged it in and continued with her bread baking. The lady commended the firemen for their efficiency and for cleaning up the debris, but said she was sorry they didn't stay longer. They left before the bread was done.

Rural Reflections By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley John Gribble was telling about the time he was forest ranger here around 1912, and was hauling hay from a neighboring ranch with a span of mules. He decided to ford the riv er, but when the water reach ed to the hay rack, he decid ed to drive the long way around to get home with his hay, and use a bridge a couple of miles downstream. Gribble lives in Medford, and as a member of the Isaac Walton league, has joined the fight against highway billboards, and expects to contact Apple gate organizations on the sub ject. Harlan Cantrall is viewing his 12 acres of sugar beets with optimism this spring, and barring trouble with bugs, he is looking for a bumper crop of beet seed. He says the bugs took a nip here and there last summer. He has been in the business about 20 years, and has joined the ranks of the crop dusters. Eagle Point Youths Arrested for Theft By DOTTIE HARBISON Mail Tribune Correspondent Eagle Point - Two -Eagle Point youths, aged 19 and 17, were arrested late yesterday afternoon for stealing at least 45 gallons of gasoline as well as the wheel from a man's car.

Thieves broke into Eagle Point High school, the grade school and Putnam Brothers Cold Storage and Feed store.
