si Limb By BOB WALTERS A recent best-selling record among high schoolers was a morbid little ditty entitled "Teen Angel." It was "num ber one" in this country for several weeks (it seemed like an infinity) but, according to a UPI story from London, the British want nothing to do with it. Britain's disc jockeys, the tory said, banned it for being "in very bad taste." The song deals with a teen age couple out for a ride in the boy's car. The car stalls on some railroad tracks, a train toots onto the scene and the boy drags the girl to safety. But the girl is a sentimen talist. She runs back to the car to get her boy friend's high school ring. Nothing sentimental about the train, though. It roars down the tracks, pulverizes the car and transforms the girl into a "Teen Angel." Throughout the remainder of the tune, the boy keeps ask ing sadly, "Are you some where up aboveAnd am I still your only love?" The British may be right about the -"bad taste" charge, but there is a moral: "She who keeps track of boy friend's ring is well trained." You've probably heard the slogan delivered by one of the local radio stations after each newscast: "When you hear it. it's news. When you read it, it's history." One Medford teen-ager, a wise young lady indeed, took the station's errors into consideration and para phrased it thusly: "When you hear it, it's rumor. When you read it. It's fact." Good girl. Those sonic booms last Tuesday morning reportedly unnerved several humans, plus at least one canine. One of our reporters, who lives on a farm, says her dog "came running in from the south 40 with its tail between its legs." The pup's mental condition may even develop into a prob lem for the Air Force brass Time to Send Your i Togs to Nu-Way Cleaners for Sanitone Dry Cleaning They'll come back immaculate, perfectly pressed, sparkling like new. And we make all minor repairs at no extra charge. Try Our Custom Laundered Shirrs Fir Better Look Better Feel Better GEBB 601 E. Main EP Council Discusses Seiver Project; Engineer Says Federal Aid Unlikely By DOTTIE HARBISON Mail Tribune Correspondent Eagle Point - The Eagle Point city, council discussed the sewer plant project at its meeting Tuesday night. Guest speaker was Archie Rice of the Cornell, Howeland, Hayes and Merryfield Construction Engineering .'company, Cor vallis. " Rice said his firm has in stalled water and sewer lines at several private homes and places of business in Medford, Rogue River and Gold Hill. He said he would need a de tailed plan of the project be fore he could provide an ac curate estimate of its cost. This could include the Camp White area, which is considering joining forces with Eagle Point for the project. - Rice said federal aid is un likely at this time since the President vetoed the bill on additional funds for sanitation aid. Federal help may be ob- over at Klamath Falls. "I'm going to write Kings ley Field," she says somewhat bitterly, "if our dog has a nervous breakdown!" Friday's mail included an auto registration card from the state department of mo tor vehicles. Trouble is, it's not for the new car, but for the one that tangled with Sexton mountain. Wherever you are. little car, we hope it's some con solation to know the state finally saw fit to enter you in its records. Rest in peace. If police had stopped Jack sonville firemen Friday morn ing and asked "Where's the fire?" they would have got ten a vague answer. The fire men didn't know. The blaze, which gutted the inside of a home owned - by Mrs. Hanna Smith, was at 305 East California st., but who ever phoned in the alarm simply blurted "Fire on Cali fornia street!" and hung up. Correspondent Bette Hos kins says the fire department asks that anyone turning in an alarm stay on the line un til the firemen have all the information they need. In Friday's case, it would have saved a time-consuming search. It might even have saved the house. "; ." Free Parking Right at the Door H. D. CHRISTENSEN St. Ph. SP 2-9169 llii nn in flfl tained through funds available for the purchase of bonds if private purchase is impossible at that time, he stated. At present, the sale of bonds is slow but Rice gave several suggestions on preparing a brochure concerning the growth of the area to aid the sale. Rice's firm has not been en gaged, but is being considered by the council. City Attorney Gregg Hor necker said the process of pre paring all of the legal work in conjunction with the sale of bonds is a slow one, but that all necessary steps have been taken and the papers complet ed so the city can engage their engineer at this time. Part of the delay was in the research of the Eagle Point charter it self, he said. Because of the need for. a jury in Eagle Point, an emer gency was declared, and a ordinance passed by the coun cil. This ordinance will be re leased at a later date. A motion to raise the judge's salary from $35 to $50 a month was passed.

Mack, principal of Hanby and Pat-1 rick schools of district 6C, has announced the schedule for the Hanby Elementary physical education show slat- ed for Thursday between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. in the school's gymnasium. The event will commence with a grand march featuring some 150 students.

Some rhythmic movements are done moving from place to place-walking, running, leaping, sliding, hop ping, jumping, galloping and skipping. -Others are done in place-such as swinging, sway ing, bending, stretching, turn ing . and twisting. Rhythmic activities also aid in develop ing poise, balance, posture, and endurance. Following the square danc ing, the fifth grade girls, also directed by Mrs. von Bus kirk, will perform a march ing drill. The girls have giv en similar drills at school as semblies, basketball games and before adult groups. The types of marching drills are single file, double file, squad, platoon and serpentine. Examples of lead-up skills, in this case, emphasizing bas ketball lead-up activities, will be given by the fifth grade boys supervised by Leon My ers.
