Not so, however, for the

To her, the world and its peo

everyone -and I do mean
everyone - looks like

Not even her husband is

a rabbit.

the way it is.)
All our newsroom staffers,
the lady continues, bear strong

Our staff, as seen through

beagle hound, a Siamese cat,
a mole and an ostrich.
I found her observations in

No complaints, though. I'd
rather be a chipmunk than a

Gold Hill's First Recreation
Program Success, Says Myers
By MARY KELL
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Gold Hill - Leon Myers, di
rector of the summer recrea-
tiou program here, said the
program held this summer for
the first time in Gold Hill was
a success.
He gave a round-up report
of activities in which young
sters of this area participated
LEON MYERS
Program Director
during the past six weeks.
Miss Grace Gail was assistant
director.
The recreation program
ended July 29 with aQ ice
cream party In the city park
following a treasure hunt.
Highlight of the afternoon
was a volleyball matcn be
tween the boys and girls at
Hanby Elementary school.
Myers said about 50 young-
sjf rs registered for the recre
ation program, which started
Monday, June 20. He said it
was set up on a "no-roll call
basis - children who did not
wish to attend each day were
not obligated to do. so. He
stifled that some of the young
sters came for only a part of
the three-hour period If hey
were not interested in- an
events, while others came
each afternoon for the full
three hours to play ping-pong
badminton, shuffle board and
other games if they were not
interested In the soft-ball, ten
nis, volleyball, baseball, bas
ketball, or craft schedules.
Something For Everyone
Myers said there was some
thing for everyone to do dur
ing the recreation periods
held from 1 to 4 p.m. Monday
through Friday during the six
weeks.
During the last two weeks
of the program, football and
basketball clinics were held
to teach basic fundamentals
of the games so that the
youngsters could obtain a bet
ter understanding of the sport.
Myers said he thinks it is just
as important for those who
do not participate as players
to understand the techniques
of the games in order to fully
enjoy watching (hem.

school.
Miss Gail was in charge of
crafts for both boys and girls.
She said 'She youngsters made
hand puppets of paper mache

fabric that was available at
home. One act puppet shows
were staged, with the chil

skits and games outdoors the
latter part of the afternoon.
Response Wat Good
Myers said Willi the excep
tion of a few children giost of
those who attended the recre
ation prcgram lived within
walking distance of the
school. He considered the re
sponse good, thanks to efforts
by several organizations in the
community to put the recrea
tion program into operation
this summer.
Dooald Morrow, chairman
of the executive committee of
the recreation board, said he
was pleased with the results
of the first summer program
ejjr held for children of this
community. He and other
members of the board praised
the directors for their good
work and said there is no
reason why the program
Qsuld not be held each year.
Tentative plans are being dis
cussed for next year's pro
gram. The summer recreation
board was made up of repre
sentatives from each sponsor
ing organization. Gilbert
Mack, school representative,

continue on the faculty as
varsity coach and teach an
eighth grade class instead of
the fifth grade as he did last
year. He and his wife, Ethel,
and their four children reside
on Ross lane near Medford.
In an interview with this
correspondent, Myers, a grad
uate of Pasadena college, Pas
adena, Calg., recalled some of
his experiences in youth work.
After he finished college, he
managed a variety store in
gastern Washington prior to
accepting a position on the
Colfax, Wash., police force
where he worked with juve
nile cases. Later he was as
signed to the position of chief
deputy for the sheriff's office
in Woodburn county, Wash.
While doing police work
with the sheriff's office he
was sent to investigate a com
plaint concerning some
youths. He found the disturb
ance was mainly because these
boys were "Scouts without a
master." HeO became their
Scoutmaster because he didn't
want to see thft Boy Scout
troop have to be broken up.
Sometime later he resigned
from police work to accept a
position as assistant executive
for the Twin Harbors coun
cil of the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica at Aberdeen, Wash., a po
sition he held for two years
until he was transferred to
the Or-da Boy Scout council
headquarters at Nampa, Ida
ho, where he was assistant ex
ecutive for four years.
Takes YMCA Position
In 1949 heeesigned to ac
cept a position In Port An
geles, Wash., where he iSd
been asked to organize a
YMCA program. He was gen
eral secretary of the staff
from 1949 until 1955. A con
siderable amount of his work
with the YMCA involved
counseling for personal prob
lems that concerned both par
ents and chlldign.
In conjunction with his
YMCA duties, he supervised
Softball leagues and handled
the American Legion's junior
baseball league as well as bas
ketball. In the summertime he
supervised YMCA recreation
that vO's worked out on a
joint basisovith the school dis
trict at Port Angeles. It in
cluded Softball, tennis, swim
ming instruction anc? other1
recroHiionHi wv.uviin;o.
In 1955, he resigned from
the YMCA position and
moved to southern Oregon,
going5 to work in the Medford
Veneer Plywood mSl at White
City. He said he missed the
work that he loved-worklng
with childrcn-so he quit and
returned to school, Southern
Oregon college, and later ac
cepted the coaching position
at Hanby Elementary school.

A 'Shocking' Day
For Williams Cows
By ANN KATZENBACH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Williams-July decided to
nd up with a "shocking"
wallop for the Wliams
area this year - especially
for some cows.
Late Sunday afternoon,
huge raindrops started fall
ing and then developed into
a raging hailstorm accom
panied by thunder and
lightning.
Lightning struck on the
Orval Lewman ranch, near
lhe barn, during the storm.
At a result, one of his cows
wat knocked down in the
stall by the electricity.
Lewman and his father, R.
F. Lewman, and his daugh
ter, Tj-esa, were doing the
milking when this occurred.
They were able to get the
cow out of the stall and
saved her. Within a few
minutes, down went two
other cows, which they
weren't able to ave.
The cause was discovered
to be the electric water
heafiL-rs on both the Lev
man and John Katzenbach
ranches, which were short-
Qed out by the lightning.
Dom lamines received

cets. Ceremonies Slated
