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.

with apologies to Mr. R. ,

lost. At least when you've

By BETTE HOSKINS
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Jacksonville -The Jackson
villed PTA will elect officers
at Its meeting at 8 o'clock to
morrow evening in the school

perintendent Dr. Leonard B.

cal residents to ask questions
in regard to the 1960-61
school budget.
Proceeds from last week's
17-act talent show, the PTA
announced, amounted to ap
proximately $100. The funds
will be used to help finance
the summer recreation pro
gram here.
It also was announced that
the Jacksonville Band Boost

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.

Curriculum
(Editor's note: The follow
ing is the conclusion of i
story by Correspondent Doris
Hughes dealing with the cur
riculum revision announced
this week by District 6 Super
intendent Charles A. 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. This training is
designed to assist each student

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.
Club 227 was organized by
members of the Drew com
munity who paid high mem
bership dues in order to buy
a building in which to hold
community affairs. Through
dances and other fund-raising
affairs they were able to re
model and re -roof the old
building.
One of the chief objectives
of Club 227 was to have a
hall In the community where
children and young people
could gather for entertain
ment.
Then two years ago the
building burned to the ground
as a result -of a careiessiy
tossed match or cigarette butt.
Much work remains to be
done before the hall is totally
completed but there will be
young people's dances for en
tertainment, and adult dances
to raise funds during the com
ing months.
There is a snack bar in tne
building where soda pop, cof
fee, and hot dogs are sold on
dance nights.
