500 Attend YMCA
Auction Campaign
Approximately 500 persons
attended the annual YMCA
auction drive Sunday after
noon, local Y officials report.
Bidding on the merchan
dise and services at the sales
exceeded the budget goal of
the YMCA.
A. L. (Tex) Nash was chair
man of the event, assisted by
Ersel llullstead. During the
afternoon auction, W. J. Bray,
who has auctioneered the
events since 1854, and O. J.
Brenner, who provided the
facilities of his auction house.
were presented service award
plaques.
J6nes reported that the Y
has received telephone calls
from residents who had col
lected items but not in lime
for this year's sale. He said
that such persons should call
the Y, and these items will
be picked up and stored for
the 19(51 auction.
The firm thinks that a pat
tern is taking shape that aug
urs well for the near term
trend of prices.
As far as selection goes,
T&M says those stocks and
groups that led the "pre-cor-reclion"
and best held up un
der selling pressure will set
the pace for the intermediate
recovery move.
Drugs, it says, are the pop
ular choice for the number

tronics, business machines,
food products, tobacco, alum

The stock market has had
good reason to sell off in the
past week but instead has
done just the opposite, W. E.
Hutton & Co. notes. The abili
ty of leading issues to stand
up in the face of international
uncertainty Indicates that
stocks have passed to stronger
hands and less emotional
traders, Hutton says.
Flintlock Rifles Made From Scratch by Eagle Point Man
If anyone wants to make
like Davy Crockett with his
Kentucky ntle, tney should
contact Albert Osterman of
Eagle Point.
Osterman if one of six per
sons in the United States who
can make flintlock rifles from
scratch. He can equip a cus
tomer with a complete outfit,
including coonskin cap - but
flintlocks and repercussion
rifles are his specialty.
Osterman described his
unique profession for Mon
day's Medford Chamber of
Commerce roundtable lunch-
con in th JncUson hotel.
The rifles he makes are not
toys, but are the real thing,
each representing upwards of
100 hours work apiece. They
are hand-made to the cus
tomer's specifications and all
work is done exclusively by
Osterman.

General Review of
Ashland Given for
Chamber Members
Ashland - The city of Ash
land should be spending about
$46,000 year more than it
does at present to maintain
Its police and fire depart
ments, City Superintendent
Elmer Biegel said Tuesday.
Biegel, guest speaker at the
Ashland Chamber of Com
merce's noon luncheon meet
ing at Omar's, said the city
now spends about $74,000 an
nually to support its police
force and about $50,000 for
its fire department.
He said average yearly
operational costs for cities the
size of Ashland are about
$00,000 for a police depart
ment and SHU.OUO for a fire
department. Population of
Ashland Is nearly 9,000.
Increasing Costs
"One of these times," he
continued, "we are going to
have to exceed our IS per cent
limitation" in the budget to
meet these anj other increas
ing costs of operating the community.

Model in Jail for
Protecting Cohen
Los Angeles-OJPD - Pretty
model Sandy Hagen ends a
full week in jail today for
refusing to tell a federal grand
jury about the spending habits
of her exgambler boy friend
Mickey Cohen.
The 19-year-old blonde was
called before federal judge
Myron D. Crocker again Tues
day and given an opportunity
to answer questions which
would not incriminate her.
"I refuse," she said. "1
won't say anything further
and I still stand on the
grounds I am protected by
the Fifth Amendment."
"Well," said Crocker, "you
still hold the key to the jail."
He denied her request for
release and ordered her re
turned to county Jail until
she answers the questions.
Miss Hagen was jailed last
Thursday after refusing to an
swer questions by the panel
probing the source of Cohen's
income.
Biegel, in a general review
of the city's future plans,
touched on annexation, the
new sewa. e disposal plant,
water supplies, this year's
budget, electrical contracts,
the new city hall and Oak
Knoll Golf course, which is
owned by the city and man
aged by private parties.
Referring to the 34-bed hos
pital to be built in Ashland
with a portion of the cost
being paid from Hill-Burton
funds, he said "most hospitals
in the state built with (the
funds) are operating in the
black."
Ready lo Annex
Bieu,cl said the city would
be ready to annex new areas
"in about a year" when the
new water plant is com
pleted. The plant will be de
signed to h-indle a population
of about 20.000, he said, and
the first areas to be annexed
probably would be those be
yond the proposed freeway
bypass.
A little more than a year
remains on Ashland's electric
al contract with Copco, Biegel
said, and the city will have to
renegotiate when the present
contract expires.
He added that the profes

hired by the city is expected
to arrive here about the first
of July.
terman's customers since
most of them want rifles for
hunting or target shooting.
There is a market fur laOoe
rifles too-Osterman has made
and sold 50 of them since he
turned a hobby into a busi
ness several years ago.
People buy these rifles be
cause they like them, he said,
and it gives them a feeling of
accomplishment when they
can shoot one properly.
Osterman exhibited a .44
caliber, 63-inch long Ken
tucky rifle at the luncheon.
He described it as' being an
HVi pound muzzle-loading,
one-shot gun with about as
much kick as a .22 caliber
modern-day rifle.
Decorations Noted
This particular rifle was
inlaid with a number of deco
rations and "hex" marks like
the original Kentucky rifles.
Osterman said the gun was
made for a customer in San
Francisco who asked that
"hex" marks be placed on
the barrel "so the gun would
shoot better."
Except for the screws and
sights, none of the parts are
made with electric-powered
machines, Osterman noted.
Even the "bore" is turned on
a hand-powered lathe.
The .44 caliber Kentucky
rifle which he displayed is ac- j
curate up to 100 yards, and
another .50 caliber rifle he i
showed the luncheon group is j
accurate up to 200 yards, he '
said.
Not Too Accurate
They are not too accurate '
beyond these distances, he j
noted, because the round ball
which the guns fire is more 1
susceptible to wind resistance 1
than the spherical bullet
which modern day rifles fire. !
Among these types of rifles
the .44 caliber is considered
a "squirrel gun" (although i
it is actually used for much
larger game, he noted) and
the .50 caliber is considered
about average.
Black powder is used in
these rifles, he said, and the
smoke emitted after firing
can often "obliterate" a tar
get up to three seconds if
there is no wind.
He described how one goes
about loading bna of these
guns. First a .ir:.k: uaiJuiu ui
black powder is poured down
the barrel, then the shot is
wrapped in a sort of cloth
and inserted in the barrel.
Next the shot is pushed into
place and the gun is ready
for firing. A "very good"
loader could load a maximum
of five shots a minute, he
noted. Loading the guns prop
erly takes a lot of skill, he
said, and Is one of the more
important steps in assuring
accuracy.
Flint Strike. Steel
The Kentucky rifle is fired
by a flint-striking steel meth
od, Osterman pointed out,
which was in use for some
400 years, and is still effec
tive as a means of Ignition.
A company in Brandon,
England, is the only place left
in the world which makes and
sells these flints, he said.
Because of the weight and
slow-burning powder, these
rifles do not have the recoil
which people seem to think
they have, he said-the Ken
tucky rifle having recoil equal
only to a .22 caliber rifle.
Osterman uses better mate
rials in the rules man uie
original flintlock workers did.
including Oregon maple, and
for this reason they will out
last Uie oriir.il flir.tlsck
rifles by 10-1.
Smooth Barrel
The flintlock is different
from the musket, he noted,
in that the former has I bore
whereas the musket was of
the smooth-barrel type. The
flintlock was the first of the
high-velocity small-bore guns,
he added.
When handled properly,
the flintlock is just as safe
as -any other rifle, and is
more fun to shoot, accordinf
to Osterman. There are organ
izations of persons who shoot
flintlocks exclusively and they
held regular C'
pointed out.
Osterman said there is also
a market for these guns lo-,
cally, although the last or
ganized shoot held here was
in 1937.
Cost?-they start at $150 for
a basic model.
Osterman welcomes any in
terested persons to come to
his shop on Little Butte Star
route for a exhibition of how
to shoot one of these guns.
