Sleep Learning Exhibit Planned Mrs. Nancy Davis, of In ternational Institute of Sleep Learning, will have an exhibit at the Crater Lions Sportsfair this week end. The theme of the exhibit is "the last frontier on earth is that of the human mind." Mrs. Davis will have an exhibit on how to get all you want from life through the power of your own subconscious mind and the modern science of sleep learning. Sleep learning is a new science to your own learning needs within the privacy of your own home, the noted. Through your own subcon scious mind, while sleeping you can build codrdination, vitality or physical energy, which is what all sports en thusiasts need to better them selves in sports and daily life, she said. Mrs. Davis said there would be someone attending the booth during the Sportsfair to answer questions from the public on learning while you j sleep.

SP 2-6295 There's so much that's new, colorful and exciting in the sportswear picture, that one hardly knows where to begin describing the 1960 collec tions. Just looking at the. pants picture defies the telling . . . its a season for pants! Slim capri-styles flaunt a .variety of stripes: multi-colored horizon tal . ones,' madras types, pin stripes, woven rope types, and then there are plaids, plaids and more plaids. Shorts travel up and down in the briefest of styles to just above-the-knee walking types. Top notes in the sportswear scene are the boldest, bright est variety of tops. Most popu lar are the many variations of bverblouses. There are plunge placket pullovers, overshirts, tank tops, vests, tunics, ponchos and "smock" types. Sportswear knits are in cot ton, orlon and blends; they up textures and- patterns with stripes in the lead and plaids running a close second. More and more evidence of the ensemble theme runs throughout the sportswear scene. There's no limit to the many, many harmonious groupings that are made up for spectator and active sports doings . . . three-piece outfits with vest and pants or skirt plus blouse; one-or-two-piece playsuits with overskirt; blouse and short sets; coordin ates for mixing and matching in sets of shorts, pants skirts; overblouses, tank tops, vests, jumpers, blouses, T-tops and others. These ensemble by color, by trim, by print or by fabric but no matter how they go to gether, thev add ud for smart ! fun-time fashion. Bloomer dresses and tennis dresses take on a fresh and jaunty look for the new year. White is decidedly the fa vorite and is the foundation for many, many variations on sailor themes - white duck pants, striped tops, middy jackets. White serves as the focal point fr many tri-color com bo's such as the red, blue with white trio. Fashion salutes Hawaii in many sportswear themes, Sar ong styling . influences swim suits and beach dresses; Island prints spark tops, swim wear and beach accessories. Materials Noted The Oriental mandarin col lar, the kimona touches, the obi sash, the zori thong and brilliant Oriental-inspired pat terns are everywhere in the sportswear scene. Every exciting fabric con ceivable is used in the sports wear collections . . . just look - nubbed, slubbed, embroid ered, eyelet, polished, cord and an endless variety of other cottons. Linen, like-linens, like-silk. real silk, sharkskin, feather weight flannels, denims, chi nos, poplin, duck, sailcloth, twill, soft touch rayons, rayon blends, and on and on through the most fascinating line-up of natural fibers with a new look . . . all the miracle tex tiles . . ." and the harmonious blending of both. And it's color, color every where from the white, to the red, white and blue, to the palest of neutrals and to vi brant pastels that stress bon bon and ice cream tints. "Sporty Shorty" Volkswagen Convertible The VW Convertible shares every mechanical virtue of the sedans. The air-cooled rear engine can't freeze or overheat. No anti-freeze needed. All wheels are individually sus pended with torsion bars (uncanny control over the rough est roads). You get 32 mpg regular driving, regular gas. You can go 70 mph all day and park where others can't fit. The top of the Volkswagen Convertible is like no other. It is air-tight and water-tight because it overlaps the wind shield frame. It has a real giass rear window and is com pletely lined and padded no struts or crossbars show. atTTMOfflZCO DCALC MORSE MOTORS 6th and Ivy Medford Freight Company Observes Scouting In commemoration, of the Boy Scouts of America's 50th anniversary, Oregon Nevada California Fast Freight, Inc., and Southern California Freight Lines is sponsoring the "Boy Scout Special," at 24 foot line haul semi-trailer dec orated in color with a mural and message for Scouting's Golden Jubilee. 1 The decorated truck and trailer will be at the Sports fair this week end. The mural trailer, which was first viewed at two San Francisco parades Feb. 6, is participating in Scouting cele brations throughout the com panies' three-state operation area of Oregon, Nevada and California. The "Boy Scout Special" is expected to travel approxi mately 35,000 nv'es between Mexico and Canada during 1960 while participating in commemorative events in most every major metropoli tan area on the Pacific Coast. This is the third mural trail er sponsored by Oregon Neva da California Fast Freight Inc., and Southern California Freight Lines since the com pany adopted the policy of promoting civic events on the sides of over-the-road equipment. Early last year the first mu ral trailer was painted to help the State of Oregon cele brate its 100th birthday, later in 1959 another was decorated to promote the Winter Olympics. 6 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. IB Friday, March 25, 1960 Sportsfair Funds To Be Usedfor Various Activities The Crater Lions club has announced that a portion of the Sportsfair proceeds will buy needed equipment for the hard of hearing kindergarten. A total of S974 will go to buy a specially designed group - teaching hearing aid, which is needed to replace outmoded, worn apparatus now in use at the school. The new equipment works from a ceiling microphone and has individual control boxes and head sets so that volume level may be adjusted to meet each child's needs, club of ficials said. One of the main charitable projects of the Crater Lions is their sight and blind fund. In 1959, 26 children were exam ined for need of corrective vision aids and in nearly every case glasses were pro vided. Money spent in this area totaled $1,285.82, offic ials said. The average cost to the Crater Lions for each child helped in this way was nearly $50. Lon Skinner, Crater Lions president, said there are at least 10 more cases pending at present. Major Project . Although the sight and blind fund is considered a major project by the Crater Lions club, other charitable disbursements for health and welfare far outreach the mon etary outlay for corrective vision aids. In 1959 money spent in this area totaled more than $4,499.62. and of this $2,800 was raised at the recent tele vision auction for the wading pool, which it being incor porated into the swimming facilities at the new Jackson park. Some $1,699.62 was given toward other charities which included $750 to the support of a foreign exchange student, $450 to the School of Hope, and $107.36 to the Crater Lake Area Council of the Boy Scouts. Sportsfair dates are set for March 26 and 27 at the Arm ory south of Medford on High way 99. Dave Franklin, general Sportsfair chairman, "said 'the third annual Sportsfair is the biggest ever undertaken by the group. This is due to en thusiastic sponsors, merchants and sports clubs demanding more space and participation to the point that Crater Lions, as managers, have increased the Sportsfair two-fold in al most all respects.

And it's a good idea to have a life line hanging over the side to grab onto. Helps to climb aboard, too. Vacation Prizes Offered at Fair Dave Franklin, chairman of the 1960 Crater Lions Sports fair, reports that visitors will have an opportunity to win a five-day free vacation at either Fish lake, Willow Creek reservoir or Hiatt res ervoir resorts. The vacation prize is being j offered by Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd j Morris, owners of Fish lake j resort, and partners with Mr. i and Mrs. Bert McConochie of ! Willow lake, and Mr. and : Mrs. John Bowman of Hiatt j lake. Drawing will be heldj Sunday evening, March 27, j the last day of the Sportsfair. j Persons are not required to j be present to win. j Included in the prize is the use of a boat and a motor j for the full five days, plus a modern cabin at Fish and Wil- low lakes. Fish lake was cleaned of all trash fish last year bv the State Game Commission and I should present good size fish this season. They also have fallen all the old snags and will have the lake cleaned by the end of this season. Willow Creek reservoir is one of the newest resorts in southern Oregon area. Com plete facilities for all types of camping are provided, nd the man-made lake is furnish ed with a portion of beach which has been sanded and sloped for safe swimming. John Bowman, owner of Hiatt lake resort, stated fish ing should be excellent this year since the lake will be drained low to install fish screens at the dam. Five new cabins have been built for the season. Visitors to the Sportsfair, March 26 and 27, are urged to visit the resort's booth. - . . COURTESY AIDS SAFETY Courtesy on the water is as old as tradition itself. Cour tesy toward fellow boatmen will also insure safety, for most rules on our navigable waters are really based on common sense and regard for the other fellow. Trailers are ever increasing the areas where boat owners can enjoy themselves. ' Some sportsmen shy away from them because they be lieve it takes a special knack to drive a car with trailer in tow. With the right kind of trailer, properly loaded, they are surprised to learn how easy it is. Of course, they must be more careful in passing, have more space to fit in. They must swing wider at corners. And both braking and accel erating should be more delibe rate. Backing up takes a bit Boat Lifter to Be on Display Glen Woolridge, nationally famous riverman, will display his own lifting invention for use on river boats at . the Crater Lions Sportsfair. Called the "Jackass" lifter upper, the new device facili tates river boating by allow ing the boatman to hurdle or "leapfrog" over obstructions and shoals with no tilting of the motor needed. Woolridge said the shallow water barrier is prop draft, keeping the average boatman from exploring new water. His equipment is designed to overcome this barrier. Repeat orders from major firms and governmental depart m e n t s has proven the success of his invention. Wooldridge has been named "old man river himself" by leading national magazines in the sports field. He is the first man to boat all the way up the Rogue river rapids from Gold Beach to Grants Pass. He is also noted as the only man to boat all the way up the Salmon river rapids from Riggins to Salmon City, Idaho, commonly called the "river of no return". He has appeared on nation al television and has been featured at boat shows in Los Angeles and New York. The "Jackass" lifter-upper will be on display both days of the Sportsfair March 26 and 27. more doing. Watch a trailer truck backing up and notice how the driver turns his wheel to the right to make the trailer go left. That's the secret. Balance Necessary Balance is necessary. If you notice your trailer swaying, chances are that it is tail heavy and you ' should move the boat forward or move some of the weight in the boat forward, i It's a good idea to stop every so often during a long trip to check your hitch and safety chain, lights and tie downs. Before making a trip, check all fastenings to see that they are secure and that the winch rope is not worn. Have your service station dealer check wheel bearing and repack if necessary. Have him lubricate all parts that call for it. Be sure that lights work. Replace cradle padding and rollers if necessary. These things don't take more than a few moments and they can save a lot of lost time and grief. Scouts to Have Sportsfair Displays Cub Scout pack 3 and Boy Scout troop 8, that tied for first place by having the most outstanding exhibit at the Scout-O-Rama March 12, will show their exhibits this week end at the Crater Lions Sportsfair through the booth sponsorship of the U.

Used Boat Buyers Should Use Care in Selection of Boat If your 1960 budget isn't quite big enough for you to go out and buy a new boat and motor, don't let it get you down. Take a look at the used boat and engine mar ket. It's likely you'll run across just what you want and can afford. Many used craft are up fori sale only because their pre vious owners traded them in for something bigger, faster and more luxurious. Basical ly they're sound products and good buys. Naturally you have to use more care in buying used than in selecting a brand new product in any line. Take your time. First of all, see for yourself how the boat handles. Don't let someone else tell you or even show you (unless it's a friend.) Powerful Engine Is the engine powerful enough for the size and type boat? Will it meet your needs under all the conditions you will use it? Listen for knocks. When the boat has been hauled from the water, exam ine the propeller blades. Are there nicks in it? See if the shaft is loose or crooked. Try to find loose fittings of any kind. Is the compression good? Turn the flywheel to see if it turns easily. If it does, a re pair job is indicated. Look closely at all the chief structural parts of the craft. Look for loose floor timbers and broken frames. ; Give close scrutiny to met al parts bolts, screws, pro pellers, rudder - to see if they are pitted with corrosion. Look for rust streaks. Note Dry Rot Be sure that dry rot has not attacked the wood, particu larly in badly ventilated sec tions of the boat, such as be neath the floorboards, in lock ers and cabins. If you can pen etrate the wood easily with knife or icepick watch out. Don't be fooled by a slick paint job. ; It might cover a multitude of sins. On the oth er hand, if the boat is slop pily painted, it may indicate that its former owner wasn't too careful in keeping up his craft generally. If you are a novice in the boating sport, and don't feel qualified to make this sort of check yourself, ask one of the old hands to go along with you. One boat owner is always ready to help another. Remember, there are plenty of used boats on the market. One of them can be just the one for you and your family. Go in with your eyes open and you won't be sorry for the time you spent.
