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.

Korean Student
Addresses Shady
Cove Rotarians
By EVALYN P. 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.

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

Vanities of 1960, a variety
show with a cast of the local
townspeople. It was a two
night feature in the Montague
Community hall.

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.

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

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.

Jacksonville Law States
Dogs Can't Run at Large
Jacksonville-An ordinance
passed last week by the Jack
sonville city council may
cause considerable stir among
local dog-owners.
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.
. The ordinance apparently
became necessary after city
officials received numerous
