McGee Leads City
Police in Shoot
At Practice Meet
Lt. Orlo McGee of the Med
ford police department shot
a score of 98.8 to lead the
police force in shooting ac
curacy In a practice shoot at
the old Camp White shooting
range last week.
The entire department took
part in the shoot and aver
aged 88.78, whin is the best
the department has ever done,
according to Chief of Police
Charles P. Champlin,
First platoon (midnight to
8 a.m.) led the other platoons
with 9045 average. Next
came the second platoon with
87.24. the third platoon with
82.48 and the detectives and
services division with 87.73
Each officer was required
to shoot 80 rounds with a .38
caliber revolver from varying
positions and distances from
the target.
In Second Place
Following McGee In second
place was Sgt. D. F. Tusow
with a score of S8.4, in third
was Lt. L. C. Perkins with
97.6. fourth was Officer
George L. Lucas with 97.2
fifth was Officer Glen Bundy
with 96.8, sixth was Officer
Milton Hanson with 94.2 and
seventh was Chief Champlin
with 93.4.
Besides being the best av
erage the department has
ever shot, Champlin said that
Wednesday's score represents
an Increase of 10 points from
the same average three years
ago.
Being able to shoot well Is
one of the most Important
requirements of any police
man, Champlin said, and he
feels it Is vital that members
of the force be proficient In
the use of firearms.
The Camp White course
ii of the same type used by
the FBI end the department
holds practice shoots there
very other month. Champlin
said that reloaded ammuni
tion Is used In practices,
which Is less expensive than
the bullets used in the normal
course of police work.
Pear Condition af
Markets Studied
Corvallli - What condition
are Oregon winter pears In
when they arrive on midwest
and eastern markets this time
of year?
The answer to this question
it being sought by two Oregon
State college staff members
who are visiting wholesale
and retail outlets in Chicago,
Boston, Hartford and New
York.
Dr. Elmer Hansen, OSC
horticulturist, and Walter M.
Mellenthln, tuperlntendent of
the Mid-Columbia branch ag
ricultural experiment station
at Hood River, have gone east
to observe condition and eat'
tug quality of Oregon pears.
They are particularly Inter
ested in pears that have been
held In controlled atmosphere
storage. This is the first sea
son tor such storage to be used
commercially for D'An)ou
pearl In the U.S.
Hansen pointed out that In
specting fruit when it is
shipped doesn'' necessarily
reveal what the appearance
and condition may be after
transportation, ripening, and
handling by the marketing
trade. It is important to obtain
first-hand information on ar
rival condition, ripening abil
Ity, market quality, and trade
reaction to the fruit, he said.
The Oregonlans also are in
terested In learning details of
new pre-rlpening and pre
packaging methods being used
by eastern markets. Some of
these developments may re
quire changes In Oregon's
handling procedures.

For nearly 10 years, the
writer has been mystified by
the nature of an attraction
for tourists a little beyond
Gold Hill, called the House
of Mystery.
Tales of the grotesque Illu

force, counteracting the force
of gravity, have been told by
the many who visiiea me
area, held by the Indians to
be "forbidden ground."
A meeting with the late
John Lltster some years ago
Is recalled, when the man
who publicized and develop
ed the "Oregon Vortex" re
viewed the details of his "dis
covery" of the spot after the
bis depression In 1930.
Through arrangements maae
by District Post 7, of the vet
erans of Foreign wars, aomi-
ciliary members have been
making the trek to the phe
nomenal place at this time.
Scientific explanation leaves
one cold. You have to experi

effects to appreciate one of
the wonders of nature that as
yet has not been explained
fullv or satisfactorily.
When the eye can no long

pression of what it sees, then
you know that something Is
haDDcning to disturb this
sense.

self adds to the Illusion by
being pitched at an angle on

direction.
Fred Coffman, who toured
the domiciliary members over
the ground, gave a complete
report on what is known
about the phenomenon, which
is little. We know enough
about radio waves and elec
tronics today to understand
that forces are about us that
can affect us mightily
The scientific part of the
story, Coffman says, does not
fascinate the visitors as much
the mystery disclosed,
which makes pygmies of us
He estimates that in 30
years, more than 2 million
tourists have visited the spot.
Leila Birch, VAVS repre
sentative of the VFW auxil
iary, and Mrs. Freddie Holt,
wife of the district command
er, escorted the members visit
ing the concessions in this old
gold mining region.
At the Old Oregon Histori
cal Museum, there were many
relics of the past. One in par
ticular, that of a mummified
Indian squaw, is believed to
be 3,000 years old. This gives
some idea of the length of
time, the earliest Inhabitants
of these shores occupied the
country before the coming of
the white man.
The fact that a primitive
ritual Is noted in the position
of the body, found Interred In
a cave, gives substance to
their belief at that time In
Immortality, similar to the
Egyptians.

Children's
Recommended to Legislature
(Editor's note) This Is
another in a series of ar
ticles in which the Gover
nor's Committee on Chil
dren end Youth report is
discussed. The series was
written by Ann Sullivan,
long-rime Oregon reporter).
By ANN SULLIVAN
A children's code commis
sion, charged with the respon
sibility for a comprehensive
review and recodification of
all laws relating to children,
is recommended to the 1961
Legislature by the Governor's
Committee on Children and
Youth.
The section on juvenile pro
tection services of the newly
released committee report
states:
"With Increase of our
knowledge of the needs of
children and of the methods
most effective in meeting
these needs, legislation once
appropriate no longer pro
vides the kind of legal base
from which programs can be
developed to protect and serve
and welfare of children."
The report charges a serious
legislative lag in efforts to
modernize such legislation,
largely limited to piecemeal
revision, and charges that this
is "very costly both in money
and in terms of human life"
because programs for children
tend to be Inadequate without
a coordinated and sound leg
islative base.
No Sweeping Revision
The committee's report
notes that the 1959 Legisla
ture did make a sweeping re
vision of the laws pertaining
to juvenile court procedures
and hailed this "a major
step."
The committee recommends
that a training course or
school for police be estab
lished at the state level, with
peclflc training directed to
ward selected law enforce
ment members who will be
juvenile officsrs or work with
juveniles. The report also
seeks an Increase in the num
ber of police officers assigned
to juvenile work on "an ade
quate and realistic level."
It is noted that there are
only eight police Juvenile of
ficers In Oregon outside of the
Portland law enforcement
agencies.
Other recommendations:
1. A system of uniform re
porting of juvenile offenses.
Etiorts to Uniformity
2. Continuation ot efforts
toward uniformity in proces
sing referrals to the proper
courts and agencies.
3. A consultant on police
juvenile services at the state
level.
The juvenile protection
study committee (subcommt
tee of the Governor's commit
tee) stresses need for continu
ing concentration on the de
velopment of a plan which
would help local juvenile
courts to Interpret their pro
gram more effectively and
gain community understand
ing and support. Much prog
ress has already been made,
the committee points out,
mentioning work of the Ore
gon Juvenile Judges associa
tion, legislative efforts and
others.
"Basic to effective Interpre
tation of the needs of children
and youth," the committee
members write, "Is an aware
ness that this cannot be ac
complished by professional
workers alone but must in
volve, participation of the to
tal community."
Juvenile Advisory Councils
The committee suggests ju
venile advisory councils be
appointed in each county hav
ing population of over 10,
000. These would operate to
both stimulate community in
terest in the problems of chil
dren and the functioning of
the juvenile court and also
communicate to the court
evaluation of Its services in
meeting needs of the children
and families in its Jurisdic
tion. Also recommended Is the
employment of a J u v e n 1 1 e
court consultant by the state
of Oregon. Fifteen other
stales have such consultants,
and they are credited with
having done a great deal to
Improve Juvenile court stand
ards and with solving many
administrative and relation
ship problems between the
juvenile courts and other de
partments.
A section on Institutions
(Villa St. Rose and the Louise
Home for Girls In Portland;
Hillcrest School of Oregon,
Salem, and MacLa'en School
for Boys, Woodburn) stresses
Gladys Durand and Mrs. Fred
Rchling. 1
A special invitation is ex

"open house" at the domi
ciliary library this afternoon
from 1 to S o'clock. Enid
Holmes, chief librarian, ar
ranged the event signaling
the opening of "library
week." Open house will con
tinue throughout the week.
The Sunday afternoon cele
bration also marks the open

station, and advantages ot the
new arrangements will be ex
plained. There will , also be

that they exist to provide spe
calized services to help chil
dren with behavior problems
and not for punishment.
Realise Necessity
'If the programs offered
are to be an effective part of
the total treatment program
for delinquent children," the
recommendations point out.
"communities must be helped
to realize the necessity for ac
cepting without reference as
to length of stay the release
of a child into the commun
ity."
The staff of the institutions,
because of its intensive work
with the child, is in the best

Landscape Design I
Course Scheduled
At Oregon State
Corvallis A study course
in landscape design, first of its
kind in the Pacific Northwest,
has been scheduled for May 5
to 7 at Oregon State college.
The course Is being spon
sored by the OSC extension
service and the OSC depart
ment of landscape architec
ture, In cooperation with the
Oregon Federation of Garden
clubs. It will be the first in a
series of four to be held dur
ing the next two years, accord
ing to Donald J. Martel, head
of the OSC landscape depart
ment and coordinator of the
course.
The series was set up to
help garden club members,
people in the landscape pro
fession, and the general pub
lic get a better idea of the
landscape needs of gardens,
parks, and city development,
Martel explained. People who
understand the art and science
of landscaping are needed in
every community and state to
serve on park boards, road
commission, school ground
committees, and other public
bodies that have to consider
landscaping problems, he
pointed out.
First Two Days
The first two days of the
course will give those attend
ing an opportunity to study
the history and art of land
scape design, landscape design
theory, planting designs, and
landscape practices of import
ance to roads and highways.
Professional landscape archi
tects as well as staff members
at OSC and the University of
Oregon will serve as faculty
members for the course.
An examination for Federa
tion Garden club members
who are working toward
their Appraiser's Certificate
In Landscape Design will be
held the last day of the course,
Members who pass all four
course examinations will re
ceive their certificates from
the National Council of State
Garden clubs.
Enrollment In the course
will be limited to about 200,
Martel said. More information
about the course, and enroll
ment forms, can be obtained
from local garden clubs or at
county extension offices.

The 100 people pictured here, plus about 999,900 other Americans, had cancer.
They have been cured. To a great extent, they owe their lives to the medical discov-,
eries made during the past decade. Some of them recovered as a result of improved'
techniques and new drugs which have made surgery more effective. Others owe
their lives to the new radiation therapy procedures. Withal, they could not have beertj
saved if they had not gone to their doctors in time.
But it is prevention of cancer that is one of man's most hopeful dreams, Its realization'
could result from the dramatic research being done today in immunology and virology!
looking toward the discovery of a cancer vaccine. Your money Is helping to support
much of the steady and encouraging scientific progress in the control of cancer. In the
last 14 years, tne American uancer society nas allocated about ITtTTT?S7T

Home Accidents Among
Leading muse ot ueums
Accidents kill more chil
dren than all the communi
cable diseases combined, Dr.
C. I. Drummond, county pub
lic health officer, reminded
residents recently.
"While significant progress
has been made against traffic
accidents, in terms of number
of miles traveled, we have
too long overlooked the fact
that home and other public
accidents now rank as Ore
gon's sixth leading cause of
death."
According to state health
board tabulations for last
year, 208 deaths occurred
from home accidents and 223
from public mishaps not in
volving motor vehicles. There
were 501 deaths from motor
vehicle accidents.

The average home, accord
ing to Dr. Drummond, con
tains dozens of potentially
lethal compounds, which
should be kept out of the
reach of small children at all
times.
Of the 503 cases handled by

The largest number ot acci
