"Who the heck are you," said I, looking all around the newsroom, "Marley's ghost?" "No, wise guy," said the voice. "I am your conscience." "Oh," said I. "Well, what's your problem?" "It's not my problem," said (he voice, now more Irked than eerie. "It's your prob lem." "Okay," said I as I poured two cups of coffee, "what is it?" "You have to stop offend ing people." "Who, me?" "Yes, you," the voice said. "That businesss about parking meters was just too much." "But , . ." "But, nothing," snapped the voice. "Just listen." "Okay," said I. "Present your case." "Harumph," harumphed the voice, "You are io take all necessary measures lo avoid offending anyone. And those are orders from Higher Up." "Please go on." "Starling today, you will write things' that cannot possibly be misinterpreted. Now tell me a Joke." "Okay, but let me think for a minute." said I. "Certainly." "Here we are," said I. "One farmer says to anoth er, 'Why did the chicken cross the road?' and the other farmer says 'I don't know' and the first farmer says 'To get on the other side, of course.' How's . that?" "Terrible, terrible, ter rible," growled the voice. "It's offensive." ' "Offensive?" "Definitely," said the voice. "In the first place, it offends chickens." -'It does?" "It implies that chickens might cross the road for some other reason than to get on the other side," replied the voice. "Since there Is no other valid reason, you have hurt the feelings of many chickens by insinuating that they may not be especially Intelligent. "Sorry," said I. "Anything else?" "Yes," said the voice. "You also have offended farmers when you said that one of them did not have sense enough to know why a chick en would cross a road." "My error," said I. "Any other mistakes?" "The worst is yet to come," said the voice, beginning to sound a bit holy. "You have viciously attacked the coun ty roads department!" "You're losing me," said I. "Now don't play Inno cent," said the voice. "You know lull well what you have done. You have Im plied that the roads depart ment constantly allows chickens to cross the roads. This naturally would be a safely hazard since most drivers would run oli the road before lhey would hit a chicken. Thus you have said the department doesn't give a hoot about softly." "I apologize." "Fine," chirped the voice. "Maybe I'm getting some where after all." "Yes, yes, yes," said I, "a thousands limes yes. And now that I have learned my lesson, maybe you will go on your way so I can get some work done," "Of course." said the voice, hardly able lo con ceal its pride. "My Job is done and I will return to Higher Up and make a full leporl." "Fine," said I. "Drop in any lime." "Nice of you io say that," said the voice. "And thank you tor the coffee." "Voice," said I. "Walt a minute." "What's the matter?" "You're heading for the wrong door. That one goes to the men's room. "Oh," said the embarrassed voice. "Thank you." '.'You're welcome."

A short trip on any high way would convince the most skeptical of "doubting Thom ases" that boating la here to stay. In a recent one -hour drive north on highway 99, a total of 29 boat was counted, all southbound, the destina tion of many being Shasta lake or some other California body of water. Since most of these boats were attached to cars bearing Oregon licenses, a review of California boating regulations is offered for the benefit of out - of - state boating enthu siasts.

An eight-man crew under direction of Pete Gregory has just completed trail mainte nance on Middle Fork where a complex type of brush field caused extra work.

MacKintosh at Jackson County Title com pany, 121 East Sixth St., Med ford. 30 Attend Meeting Approximately 30 people attended a meeting last Wed nesday night in the Phoenix grade school gymnasium on formation of a fire district. Five days after the county court holds a public hearing it may call an election on the proposed rural fire district. Then five directors are elect ed. These must be placed on the ballot by petition of 15 registered voters and proper ty owners. Their terms run from one to five years. Only property owners may sign the petition to form the fire district and need not re side in the district. Any resi dent in the area proposed for the fire district may vote on the proposal, provided he is a registered voter living in the area. . The last session of the state legislature set a 6 mill limit on taxation for a fire district. However, after the fire dis trict is established it can in crease its taxes 6 per cent providing it does not exceed 6 mills. A vote of the people is required to exceed the 6 mill limit. Board May Control Once established the fire district board may contract with another fire department such as the Phoenix volunteer department to furnish fire protection. If more fire equip ment is needed a bond issue may be voted in to finance its purchase. All incorporated cities, rail road right-of-ways, forest lands lands protected by the U.S. Forest Service or state forest patrol are exempted from a rural fire district. However, if a fire spreads into areas outside the fire dis trict the rural fire department is obligated to keep after It until it is out, it was ex plained. Boundaries for a proposed district run to the center line of a road so as not to cut in half other taxing districts or units such as water districts. Whole properties on the per imeter of a proposed fire dis trict and not just a part of a property will be taken in if the owners wish. 1 Sli Y V For a Sii YOUR CALORF tlKWCkl UkGUl mm Compfeft Siskiyou Art By BESSIE BOYD FRASER Mail Tribune Correspondent Yreka Otto Wilda and Richard Doi ot Southern Ore- 4 Chico Sessions Slated in Siskiyou Four Chico State college summer sessions have been ar ranged in Siskiyou county this summer, Dr. Victor Houston, dean of educational services and summer sessions has an nounced.
