; MAIL TRIBUNI. M.dford, Or. 1 A Wednndir, April 13, 1960 Out on a Limb By BOB WALTERS Life in the Jungle Strange things have been happening the past few days at the apartment house where we live. First it was the screen door at the front of the house. The thing had been just sort of hanging there ever since we moved in, but now someone has fixed it by adding new hinges and a new spring. And boy, Is It spnngy. The first time we opened it and reached for the main door, the screen door whacked us across the south end and sent us careening up at least three stairs. That's not all, either. The trash has been hauled out of the yard (including a Mail Tribune dated Sept. 4, 1931), the grass has been cut and the shrubs have been either trimmed or ripped out com pletely. The reason for all this, we're fold, is that there's a new landlord, he's doing a fine job but if he wants to trim anything else, we hope it's the rent. Actually we kind of miss all that high grass and over grown shrubbery. Wading through the yard swinging a machete had gotten to be a standard part of our daily routine. And' ve were just starting to feel comfortable in that pith helmet. The . worst part Is that the young lady we used to meet in the yard every morning has probably moved away. Just when we were getting to know each other. She said her name was Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. Ashland's newest oily councilman, George Ward, had juit barely gotten used to his chair at last week's meeting when a city police officer came to the door. "Is George Ward here?" asked the gendarme. "He's light up there." quipped a member of the audience. "Do you have a warrant?" It would have made a good story, but 11 turned out to be only a phone call. Bill Hunting of Eagle Point went out to feed his bantam chickens the other morning, reports Correspondent Dottie Harbison, and found them all dead outside the chicken house. He opened the door and there, curled up on the roost grabbing a quick 40 winks, was the culprit. Hunting went back to his house for a gun and, without hesitation, put an end to the killer, a skunk. Wonder if Hunting's raising a big stink about losing all his chickens? , A story by Tiller -Drew fcorrepondent Viola Rogers concerning a recent meet ing of Club 227 read like this! "Mrs. Joe Zimmerman, treasurer, reported $10 was cleared at the opening dance in March. Members voted to buy four doien coffee cups." That fast action probably was a good idea. You can't lake it with you. Thought for the Day, again with apologies to Mr. R. , Nealon: A penny saved Is SO cents lost. At least when you've Just parked your car.

Furry Explains Proposed Phoenix Fire District Phoenix - Fire Chief Leo Furry explained the proposed rural fire district during the volunteer firemen's meeting at the Phoenix fire station last night. As it is now, the city volun teer fire department is strict ly forbidden by law to go to any fires outside the town's city limits, he noted. He outlined the boundaries of the Medford rural fire dis trict as they might affect the proposed Phoenix rural fire district boundaries. These are: Campbell rd. from the eastern end to north Phoenix rd., to Fern Valley rd. and across the bridge at Bear creek, across the South Pacific highway at the Phoenix north city limits ana along the Phoenix north city limits, across the South ern Pacific railroad tracks at the northern boundary of the school yard, south along the western boundary of the rail road tracks to the center of Houston rd. to its junction with Coleman Creek rd. and along the center of Coleman Creek rd. in northerly direc tion to its intersection with Carpenter Hill rd., then west erly along the center of Car penter Hill rd. to Pioneer rd. and Dark Hollow rd. and down the center of Pioneer rd. to Griffin Creek rd. The northern boundary of the Phoenix rural fire ' district would probably depart from the Medford rural fire district boundary at Pioneer rd. and Carpenter Hill rd. intersection and end the common bound ary, said Medford Fire Chief Gordon Barker. A public meeting is sched' uled soon on the proposed ru ral lire district, Furry said uniy property owners or those buying properly under contract can sign the petition for the rural fire district However, any legally regis- tcred voter can vote on its formation, It was explained.

Meyer. The revision in time will af fect text material at grade school levels of the entire district.) Industrial Arts In the Industrial arts de partment, Charles Moore, as chairman, is establishing s course of study in which var ious skills are learned in the order of their difficulty. He intends to do this in the four years of shop which he offers by providing six weeks of me chanical drawing and 30 weeks in the use and care of hand tools and in the con struction of small projects in Shop I, while in Shop II he will give instruction in draw ing up each project, use and care of machines, and skills involved In the production of intermediate projects. Students who master the basic skills during the first two years may take two years of advanced shop, which stresses advanced machine tool skills and practices - In cabinet making and boat building. Also under revision by Moore is the mechanical drawing field, in which two courses are available. In the first year, students are taught standard drafting and architectural drawing, while in the second year, they may go on to the study of working drawings, sectioning, auxiliary view and revolu tions. Culminating this ad vanced course is sheet metal, structural, o r architectural drafting, depending upon which the student would like as his specialty. Francis Willett is reorgan izing her department, home- making, into three clearly de fined levels of achievement. Homemaklng I develops basic skills in clothing and cooking techniques and responsibili ties plus relationships Willi others in family, school, and community living. Homemak lng II wilL teach advanced skills In cooking and clothing technlquea objectively in or der to create a desire to par ticipate in activities in the home, school and community. Homemaklng III stresses a higher degree of performance, g r e a re r personal responsi bility as a member of a fam ily, and the acquisitions oi high moral standards and ideals. Business Education In the business education department Martha Boshears and her committee are estnb- lishlnE a course which will train a student thoroughly and systematically In office prac tices. This training begins with first year typing in which a student is introduced to the elementary skills required. After completion of the sec ond year of typing, a student is expected to be able to type at least 60 words per minute and to be able to hold a job as a typist in a business firm. Supplementing these courses arc bookkeeping, business law and business English, in which the students learn the related skills necessary for office work. Culminating the courses and completing the student's proficiency in business educa tion are shorthand and sten ography, in which all the skills already learned are uti lized. Although any of the basic 1 courses can be taken separ ately for personal use, the en- , tire program Is being corre-! lated so that all the courses make up an organized unit designed to fully prepare a I girl or boy for a Joo in a nusi ness firm. ' Ed Knnpp. physical educa- tlon. is insuring that a physi cal education program be pro-1 vlded fur both boys and gins which will start In the lower grades and continue through hieh school.

Courses will be designed to offer form and continuity, eliminating unnecessary repetition. They will offer correlated curricu lum to evolve symetrically over the entire school years of study. Rural Reflections By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley-There al ways is the tug and the strug gle In letting go of the old and taking hold of the new, such as relinquishing the sweet scent of sun dried clothes for the speed of the dryer, and exchanging the painstaking recipe for the package cake ... There still is one who would not have a dishwasher because she does her best thinking while wash ing dishes at the sink. There is another whom April always found fondly caring for dozens of fluffy chicks, and October Invaria bly saw several family deep freeze units filled with tender fryers. This same one, while it is a little outmoded to cook for hired hands, still carries warm, pungent cookies and steaming coffee to the milker at the barn and to tired hands In mid-afternoon. But even she succumbed to new ways, and for Sunday night supper had barbecued chicken from the super market. Yreka Youths Cited For Five Offenses Yreka - Three juveniles, two aged 16 and one IS, were cited in Mt.

Dance Held at New Clubhouse in Drew TIller-Drew-The first teen age dance in the new Club 227 building was well attend ed last Friday night.
