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,

One of our reporters, who

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. "; ."

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.

Schedule Set for Schools'
Physical Education Show
By MARY KELL
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Gold Hill-Gilbert A. 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.
Mack said the marching is
valuable in that it is the
means by which large groups
move from place to place with
safety and speed. Education
ally it develops leadership,
fellowship, and .active good
posture, he said.i.
The program will be high
lighted with a bugle call by
Billy Jones for the presenta
tion of colors by a color-guard
in Scout uniforms, consisting
of Greg Applin, Dave Force,
Gregg Schmidt and Ronald
Brown to lead the flag salute
and national anthem. Then
Yell Queen Toni Morrow and
Yell Leaders Judy Post, Lin
da Walker and Pamela Free
man will present the school
yell and song.
Square Dancing .
An exhibition of square
dancing will be given by Mrs.
Ida Van Buskirk's fourth
grade after the march. Rhyth
mic activities are helpful to
children's physical growth in
that they contribute to the
improvement of the perform
ance of all basic skills and
fundamental movements,
Mack said. 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. Lead -up skills can be
learned by youngsters in the
intermediate grades, and can
greatly improve their ability
in certain game fundamentals
before they actively partici
pate in game competition.
Mrs. Mildred Black's sixth
grade girls will give a series
of tumbling and stunt activi
ties as a means of self-testing.
They will attempt to do,
in proper form, the forward
and backward roll, the mon
key roll, the cartwheel and
the head stand. Some of the
girls also will do a back bend
and attempt to walk on their
hands.
Games Demonstration
The sixth grade boys,
coached by Allen Hill, will
give a demonstration of games
that develop skills which are
needed and used in various

Under Discussion
Gold Hill - Preliminary
plans for a summer recrea
tional program for boys and
girls in the Gold Hill area is
being discussed by several
community organizations. It
is hoped by those interested
that the proposed project can
be organized into a commu
nity enterprise for the benefit
of local youngsters during at
least a part of the summer va
cation months.
Mrs. Ogden Kellogg, presi
dent of the Gold Hill PTA,.
says the organization is vital
ly interested in helping to pro
mote such a program.
Fred Lester, president of
the Lions club here, reports
that his group also is showing
considerable interest in the
community enterprise.
Mrs. Clarence Parsley,
ways and means chairman of
Amethyst Rebekah lodge, an
nounced that the group at its
session last Wednesday voted
to contribute all proceeds
from their next luncheon and
card party which is scheduled
for Wednesday, March 23, to
wards the recreational pro
gram if it is organized here.
Individual members of the
Gold Hill Grange expressed
the view that their group
would also want to help orga
nize and probably would be
willing to contribute finan
cially -to a youth program.
Gilbert A. Mack, principal
of the Gold Hill school, said
he felt the student body could
contribute $100 to help fi
nance the program. Mack also
stated that Lee Myers, Hanby
teacher and coach, had agreed
to be available as a supervisor
for three hours a day for a
six-week period.
Several city residents ex
pressed the opinion that the
city of Gold Hill would no
doubt be interested in neip
ing further the program.
