Out on
a Limb
By BOB WALTERS
An Eerie Voice
"Walters," said the eerie
voice, "It's about time you and
I had a talk."
"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."

Boating Laws For
California Listed
By KATHERINE CHAPMAN
Mall Tribune Correspondent
Hornbrook - To be "In the
swim" these days one should
have a boat-ANY kind of a
boat, just so it can be hitched
to a car, fastened on the top
put in a panel truck, stowed
in a trailer, or any other
means of transportation that
will move it to a nearby (or
not so nearby) body of water.
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.
The following resume is re
printed courtesy of "Motor
land," published by the Cali
fornia State Automobile asso
ciation, copyright owners.

Rangers Erect Fire Danger
Rating Sign in Applegate
By MAUDE ZIEGLER
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Applegate Valley-The trav
eling public passing through
the Big Applegate is able to
see the degree of fire danger
as they pass Star Ranger sta
tion and observe the large fire
danger rating sign placed at
the road side recently.
A large arrow points to the
green, yellow, orange or rea
color field Indicating whether
the danger is low, moderate,
high or extreme. Each day
station attendants place the
arrow accordingtto fire weath
er conditions which Ranger
Neil Suttell describes as hav
ing hit with a vengeance in
valley areas, although in the
higher mountains the danger
is moderate.
The ranger reminds the
public that the Mt. Ashland
loop road is open now to
Dutchman's Peak, Siskiyou
Gap, and Perks guard station,
but snow blocks travel be
yond Siskiyou Gap.
Lookouts and guard sta
tions are being manned now.
Don LaRose has gone to
Squaw Peak, Robert (Slim)
Dowcll went to Sturgis guard
station Monday and Jim Turn
bough of Thompson creek
was stationed at Whiskey
Peak. Lee Canady of Ashland,
who also is the district pack
er, is at Hutton guard station.
Three other men have been
added to the local staff at the
ranger station, two in timber
management, Joseph Gentry
from New Mexico and Ken
Meyer of Corvallis. Logan
Evans, recently located in
southern California with the
army engineers, has joined
the staff in an engineering ca
pacity in charge of road re
connaissance locution and
road construction.
Gentry, whose wife is with
him at the station, has Just re

Meyer, who is married, has

college for his master's de

tion, while Evans and his fam
ily are living in Medford.
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. As an ex
periment the crew sprayed
the brush 6 or 8 feet back
from each side ot the trail,
and results should show by
next year, Suttell said.
Brush types included such
tree species as chinquipin,
live oak, wild lilac, and ocean
spray. While in the area the
men repaired a 100-foot trail
slide. Two more weeks of
trail work over the district
remain to be done.

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.
