MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Monday, March 21, 1960 3 Out on a Limb By BOB WALTERS Kindergarten Two weeks ago we signed up members of the Happy Camp High school journalism class as correspondents. Now we've invaded the kindergar ten set. An incorporated kindergar ten, no less. But it won't be the tots who'll be sending in news Our new correspondents in Rogue River are the four di rectors of the Rogue River Community Kindergarten, Inc. They include Chairman Mrs. Richard Camden, Mrs Max Killingsworth, Mrs. Tho mas Buntin, and Mrs. Richard Bassman. Principal Doris Bur- kett also will contribute news item occasionally. Mrs. Camden plans to as sign each director to a "beat.' Since she'll serve as the group's editor, only her name appears on our list of cor respondents. Space had something to do with it too. Mr. R. E. Nealon had us in lhs dark for nearly 24 hours last week when his Tablets came in with this heading: "Kcorelbatretsim." We sent the copy to the printers Thursday night, but couldn't stop worrying about that word. Friday morning it hit us. It's "Mister Table Rock' spelled backwards. A friend was watering some plants in her husband's res taurant the other day. "I've got a little frog at home that I'd certainly like to bring down here for these, she said wistfully. "Trouble is, he might jump 6ut just at the wrong moment." Probably smack in the mid dle of someone's mashed po tatoes. The hotshot newsmen at the local TV station were at their best last Tuesday night. The "reporter" giving what the station fondly calls "Late Edition News" dutifully read through a stack of wire service stor ies, but made no mention of the murder which had occurred in Ashland 8Vi hours earlier. "Well, that's the news up to this moment," he con cluded. Then, just for good measure, he tossed in that humorous little punchline about more people getting their news "from this chan nel than from any other sin gle source in southern Ore gon." Sure. "I toven't gotten into any one's hair up here for a long time," said a citizen who ap peared before the Ashland city council last week. "In this council," retorted Mayor Richard Neill, "it's a little hard to get in their hair." Hadn't noticed it before, but hair is a scarce commod ity among the city's officials. City Superintendent Elmer Biegel and Recorder W. E. Bartelt seem to have the mar ket cornered. Maybe the councilmen ocould lake a lip from a young man we saw in Med ford the other day. He was a redhead with a flat-top haircut which left a bald strip on top of his head. The strip was colored green. He could have been cele brating St. Patrick's Day but the red-green combina tion reminded us more of Christmas. So deck the heads.

WATSON Mail Tribune Correspondent Shady Cove - Mr. In Suck Bak, a South Korean now at tending Southern Oregon col lege, spoke on the customs, languages and school systems of his country at a dinner meeting of the Shady Cove Rotary club last Tuesday. The young student was ac companied by Bill Brewster, who is serving as his sponsor during his stay in this coun try. Bill Brewster Jr. met Bak while on a 14-month armed forces assignment in Seoul. Bak is studying architecture and has a part-time job at the Rogue Valley hospital. In talking about . the cus toms of the Korean people, Bak mentioned the marriage custom where the two parties must be of the - same caste with the marriage arranged by the parents. The "young couple as a rule do not meet or see each other until the day of the wedding. The language of the coun try was originally Chinese but during the past 500 years many dialects and symbols have been added by the Ko reans. Students must memo rize as many as 1,000 Chinese characters in learning to read the language. Greater importance is stead ily being placed on the value of education in Korea, Bak said, with practically all young people attending schools of some kind. To work one's way through college as is done by many students in the U.S. is a' thing unknown in Korea. The entire burden of put ting a young man or woman through college, he said, falls on the parents as there are vir tually no part-time jobs avail able for students. Since World War II, con ditions have been changing in Korea with more of the Kore an language being used and the old customs being pushed aside for the new, Bak said. Awards at Gold Hill Meet By MARY KELL Mail Tribune Correspondent Gold Hill - Howard Meis ner, a Crater High student who resides in the Gold Hill area, and Willard Water- Rural Reflections By MAUDE 2IEGLER Applegate Valley -Don Bailey and Billy Deter, nine and 10 years old, find that their 4-H sheep raising is really easy compared to other kinds of 4-H work. It was a little tough when they were asked to announce band numbers offered by the older members at a recent 4-H program. Such names as "Melancholy Baby," "Cita tion," "Victorious" and "Dela ware" sent them scurrying for help on pronounciation. A couple of older 4-Hers, too, found a challenging bit to do Richard Bottjer pre sided over the meeting, as sisted by his secretary, Mary Ann Cantrall. The youngsters completed their jobs when they gingerly served cup cakes and coffee and washed the dishes. Other members of the Ruch Sheep club include Lin da Bettencourt, Lelah Mae Deter, Carol Deter, Madge Barker, and Kathy Larson. Variety Show Held By Montague PTA Montague The Montague PTA recently presented the Vanities of 1960, a variety show with a cast of the local townspeople. It was a two night feature in the Montague Community hall. Theme was "Around the World,'' with songs, skits, plays, dances, readings and a dog act. Each section repre sented a different part of the world! The conclusion was a song by the entire cast singing God Bless America. The pro ceeds . will be used by the PTA.

"Everybody who is inter ested in Phoenix, in making it a better town and who wants a recreation program for everybody is urged to at tend tonight's meeting," a club spokesman said. "The Community club is open to everybody . in Phoenix. It's their club." Approximately 100 persons attended the Phoenix Fire men's annual St. Patrick's Day ball Saturday night.

By MAUDE ZIEGLER Mail Tribune Correspondent Applegate Valley-Two wee bears, cuddly and playful but sometimes growling, are be ing made as comfortable as little bears without their mother can be at the Harley Hall home on Little Apple- gate. Sixteen year old Danny Hawkins, Medford High school sophomore and son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Hawkins, is the captor of the cubs, hav ing shot their mother in a hollow, tree (white fir) on Yale creek last Saturday. Hall ac companied him at the time. The cubs weigh two pounds each. The mountaineers had known about the "bear tree" for many seasons, but last Saturday was the first time they found the inhabitants at home. Presence of the cubs was a complete surprise to the men, after pulling the dead mother bear from the tree. Milk, Honey, Water The bruins require much at tention to keep them fed and warm. They have a formula of canned milk, honey and water. One sucks a bottle, while the other was advanced from a spoon to a dish. They get cold easily, even in their box with cozy bedding, and when they whimper with be ing cold and their box is plac ed by the fire, they have learned to move to the warm side. They get impatient with waiting for their food and do a bit of growling. They tum ble and play as kittens or pups. One is said to be sleepy, while the other is frisky. Ob servers . say the sleepy one may be younger. It is believed the cubs are about a month old. They are dark colored and their mother was brown. She was a small bear and said to be in fair condition. The advice of- a veterina rian was sought in regard to diet, and they receive two ounces of milk at a feeding. A little later they will have egg yolk added. The cubs have attracted much attention. More than 40 people called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hall Sunday to see them, and they have been photographed many times.

The new law, effective im mediately, . "prohibits dogs from running at large." In the past, dogs were not al lowed to run loose during the "garden season" - April through July. But the new ordinance is effective on a year - round basis. The ordinance states that it is unlawful for a dog to run vancement presentation to night and Rev. Munshaw has extended an invitation to the entire community to attend. at large unless it is "on leash and accompanied by some per son capable of controlling such dog." If a dog is found running loose, it states, it is lawful for "any officer of the city of Jacksonville" to take the dog to the Jackson county dog control office "to be dis posed of and dealt with ac cording to law." Conviction on violation of the ordinance could mean a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $50 or a jail sen tence of not more than 30 days or both the fine and sentence. .
