Short Shorts - Sometimes it's downright finbarrassing to drive to Ash land. Often I've donned a rain coat, splashed out to the car and zipped (keeping the basic fule in mind, of course) down to Bard Town, only to be greeted by burst of sunshine as I enter the city limits. ,. Then when I talk to some one at the police station or the Chimber of Commerce office or city .hall, I always forget myself and comment on the nice weather. This is greeted first by a self-sntisfied nod, then an almost impercep tible sneer. "Of course," says the Ash lander. "And how's the weath er in Medford?" Then he chuck lei knowingly. ; But 1 always stick up for did Smojgy Bott I mean Medford. . "Fine," I say. "Couldn't be rllcer, in fact. All the men are in shorts, the women are ii shorter shorts and the heat roelted the school budget so rauch the voters passed it." ' :j The Ashlander gives me a fatherly smile and a pat on the head, glances at the pud dle of Medford rain forming around my feet and goes back ajbout his business. ' But I always feel belter after a walk through Lilhia Plark. That puddle makes me a big favorite with the ducks. i Whew. jt The Elks Convention u aver. The conveniioneri left behind a few mementos, of course. There's hardly a building, store window or garbage can in town with out a paper sticker adver tising some BPOE function plastered on it. What I remember, though, is a touching fra ternal scene on South Cen tral ave. While having lunch last Thursday, I watched one green -vested delegate after another pop tn and out of the state's beverage store across the street. K Couldn't help wondering ii there was an Elkoholic m the crowd A. t; ' t ft e following telephone con versa lion, Im told, took place belween one of our fe male reporters and her hus band the other day: Wife-Reporter: "Hi. What're you doing?" Husband: "Might as well tell you, I suppose. I just cut a hole in the rug." W-R: "You what?" ,H: "Yeah. I wanted to see the floor show." W-R: Groan. H: "Don't worry. I covered it up again." i,W-R: "You did?" to: "Yeah. Couldn't sland tho dirty cracks." Groan, And that one's mine. . Illinois Valley Correspon dent Katherine Scott, re porting last week on the Memorial Day shindig sot t'Oi Kerbyville Ghost Town, wrote about the picnic, the dance and the town's new dancing platform. Her last paragraph, however, was jchopped off the story. I "The Elkhorn Saloon and General Store will be in iteration for cool bever ages." Koolaid, naturally.

Rural Reflections Applegale Valley - A fa vorite pastlime at the Lyle Hard residence these days is humming bird study. line or so of the tiny creatures gather at tho two feeders outside the windows sipping the sugared water through the red plastic flowers, believing it is as good as nectar from the flower garden. Personalities shine forth in these feathered ones, says the Hard family. The ruby-throated female likes to admire her self and the ruby-throat male enjoys a good fight with the Rufous male, whose black lower neck crest turns red as he fights. The wings ot the Rufous humming birds have a metal lie sound which Hard says is in agreement with the bird book. A third spec! is a member of the circle, the black chin bird, which is quiet and re mains close to the ground while tho others fight, watch ing his chance to sip when the feeder is vacant. Bonita Hard replenishes the feeder, shows guests her Med ford High school annual, and wonders what she has to do to get her name in the paper.

This Area Peggy Dye, secretary-treasurer; all seventh grade students The amateur station set up at Hanby Elementary school consists of a Heath model DX-40 amateur transmitter and Hallicrafters Model S-40B amateur receiver. The trans mitter was built from a kit by various students during their spare time. The antenna is an all-band trapped doublet. Equipment for the amateur station was purchased by the profits from skating parties and magazine drives at school. Hill explained that no tax fundi were used for any part of the equipment. Efforts of the pupils at Hanby financed the project. Through their work and study in the club two seventh grade students, Donald Gail and Dick Ross, have become licensed novice amateur oper ators. Both boys have their own amateur stations which consist of transmitter, receiv er and suitable antenna sys tem, at their homes north of Gold Hill. Philip Van Horn, Peggy Dye, and Eugene Ridge have passed written tests to qual ify for their novice licenses. The boys with novice li censes are now working on theory and code speed to qualify for a general amateur license, which would entitle them to operate on all ama teur bands, both code and ra dio telephone. The Gold Hill amateur ra dio training class, which cor relates with the science pro gram, was instituted last fall by Hill and Throne, Hanby teachers. They have taught the class alternately each six weeks, once or sometimes twice a week during school hours, as an elective activity of the curriculum. Only students who were capable and interested were permitted to remain in the class. It gave qualified pupils from grades seven and eight an opportunity to study radio code theory in order to pre pare them for an amateur ra dio license. Youngsters with scientific aptitude have a chance to acquaint themselves wtih modern electronics. Stu dents participating were re quired to keep up to date in all regular class room sub jects, and no one was excused from regular class assign ments. The radio class period con sisted of 20 minutes allowed for code practice, and another 20 minutes for instruction in basic theory. Weekly assign ments were given the stu dents. When students were ready for a radio license test, ar rangements were made to su pervise them. Pupils pur chased their own books for the radio class course. Students other than those already mentioned who are enrolled in the class are Mike Mowrey, Dave Force, Greg Applen, Robert Allen, Ogden Kellogg and Warde Hutton. Gilbert A. Mack, principal of Gold Hill schools, said the amateur radio training class has brought out interests that youngsters have, which the teachers had not found. It of fers the child who has an ap titude for a specialized field to put it to use to the best of his ability. He said that some youngsters have become more interested in their regular classroom studies because they realized the importance of keeping up their grades if thev were to continue in the radio class.
