Applegate Valley - Thelma
Jones believes her days are
a little huin-drum, but a few
rattlers have livened things
up.
One of the neighborly crea
tures crossed her lawn one
day, and Thelma, having seen
only one other rattler in her
life-time, killed him without
much to-do.
She has recently clubbed a
porcupine very successfully,
and while visiting her mother,
Mrs. W. A. Chllders in Jack
sonville, she noticed a rattle
snake in the yard and quickly
dispatched him. It is said that
a rattlesnake in Jacksonville
has been unheard of for many
years.
Speaking of rattlesnakes, 10
or so have been killed on the
Straube ranch this summer,
some of them behaving most
interestingly. One was coiled
in Jhe milk barn behind a
baby's play-pen that was fold
ed against the wall. Another
was squeezed in a hay bale,
and another was pressed for a
light, but he was not inter
ested, even after being dug
out from underneath a stump.

Phoenix City Council Passes Ordinance
To Discourage City's Trailer-Dwellers
By HELEN NIKODYM
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Phoenix City officials are
discouraging people from mov
ing trailers onto town lots and
living in them, according to
a "stop-gap" city ordinance
passed during Monday night's
city council meeting.
According to the ordinance,
it "shall be unlawful to re
side in a mobile home, trailer
or vacation trailer in any area
within the city of Phoenix
except upon a tourist park
qualified and certified as
such."
To reside in such a trailer
is defined as using the trailer
as a residence for seven con
secutive nights or more.
Violation of the ordinance
is punishable, upon conviction,
by a maximum fine of $25.
An emergency was declared
and the ordinance became ef
fective immediately after its
passage Monday night.
"Frankly, we are just get
ting too many cockeyed trail
ers in Phoenix!" Mayor Ar
thur H. MacKintosh explain
ed. "We have some 12 or 15
trailers in there now. They
don't pay any taxes other than
to the state. We don't think
it's fair for trailer occupants
to have all advantages of city
services without paying their
just share of taxes," the may
or said.
MacKintosh pointed out this
Is an interim ordinance which
remains in effect until a more

During other business the
city council hired the legal
firm of Lombard and Cottle,
Ashland, as official legal
counsel for the city effective
Sept. 1. The Medford legal
firm of VanDyke, Dellenback
and McGoodwin has represent
ed Phoenix for 10 years. The
city council declined to give
any official reason for the ac
tion other than "this is a
good time to make a change."
The action was taken dur
ing an adjourned meeting of
the city council. During its
regular meeting on Aug. 1, it
set a public hearing for 7:30
p.m. Aug. 22 for annexation
of property on the east side
of the South Pacific highway
between Fern Valley rd. and
Coleman Creek rd. and includ
ing the Red Barn second hand
store on the highway. Walter
Bowles, who owns a house
and land behind Norton's mar
ket, had petitioned for the
annexation.

Out on
a Limb
By BOB WALTERS
Warm, Isn't It?
The time is 2:25 p.m. Tues
day, Aug. 9, 1960. The temp
erature is about 791 degrees
and I've had a piece of paper
in what remains of my melt
ing typewriter for 20 minutes.
The Boss walks by, stops,
looks at the blank paper and
says: "That's very good, Bob.
Best thing you've ever done."
Since he liked it, maybe
you will too . . .
But I suppose I should
write something. You'll par
don me, though, if it's kind
of disjointed.
One of our reporters
came in with a dandy ru
mor about last week's Eagle
Point irrigation district
meeting but it failed to ma
terialize. He had it from a reliable
source that all members
were going to tote canes, a
la "Dad" Putman, to the
meeting. Apparently they
thought better of the idea,
but one of the water users
liked it so well he's vol
unteered to start a "cane
fund."
Maybe next time?
Our wire editor passed this
one along:
Sign in the back window of
a small foreign car: "Quit
honking! I'm pedaling as fast
as I can."
Parking meter ticket
writers (you'll pardon the
expression) are having iheir
troubles in Salt Lake City,
according to an Associated
Press story carried in one
of the Portland papers.
Seems a business group
has boys pairoling the
downtown area in search of
overtime parkers. When a
"violation" flag is up, the
boys put a coin in the meter
and leave a calling card for
the driver, explaining how
he has been saved from a
ticket. The card carries the
address and phone number
of the group so that the
driver, if he desires, can
have the service performed
for him all the time.
It sounds perfectly legal,
and I just wonder if the
outfit is considering estab
lishing a branch here in
Medford.
But maybe it's best they
don't. We'd all drown in
crocodile tears.
Had a letter quite a while
back from Robert P. Reed of
Ashland. Said he liked the
column on the Talent Cafe
and welcomed me "to the hap
py throng" who have discov
ered it. He also advised me
to try it on a week day.
"On week days, the wait
ress is not so silent," said Mr.
Reed, "and on Friday she'll
even go so far as to ask,
'Swiss steak or fish?' Take it
from a patron of 12 years
standing, though don't both
er to ask what kind of fish!"
I'll try it on a week day,
Mr. Reed. You have my prom
ise. But I'm also curious. What
will she say if I ask what j
kind of fish?
Firelighters
Tired ... Of
Eating Peaches
By MAUDEZIEGLER
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Applegate Valley - When
the lightning fires are out and
the weary firefighters have
come home, there is always a
story that hasn't been told, and
this is the story of several
men very tired of eating
peaches.
They were on the Craggy
fire in the head of Steves
Fork, tributary to Carbury
creek, and an area so remote
that a plane under contract
from the Rogue Flying service
was sent to drop food and sup
plies. Three "drops" were made,
one missing the target, and
only two cases of peaches
reached the men, according to
a forestry official. Other sup
plies received included water,
sleeping bags and a 10-foot
cross-cut saw.
The fire was an acre in size,
and was caused when light
ning hit the top of a dead fir
snag, and falling embers
spread the fire. Pete Gregory,
suppression crew foreman
from Star Ranger station, was
in charge of the crew. With
him were Robert Reider, civil
engineer from New York City
recently placed on the local
staff, and Tom Turpin and
Ed Graham of Medford, mem
bers of the suppression crew.
Those returning here from
fires in the Wallowa and Whit
man national forests in north
eastern Oregon and Washing
ton were Joe Jenre, Ken Mey
er, Byron Peffley and Robert
Snowich. Genre and Meyer
were on the fire lines and
Peffley was a time keeper.

By HAZEL DAVIS
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Happy Camp James R.
Foote; Happy Camp High
school's new principal, has
moved here with his wife to
begin preparations for the
opening of school next month.
Foote last year was vice
principal of Hayfork High
school and prior to that he
taught in Long Beach, San
Francisco, Willows and in On
tario, Ore. He also has coach
ed football, basketball and
track.
Born and reared on a dairy
farm in Illinois, the new prin
cipal attended various small
colleges before being gradu
ated from the University of
San Francisco. Foote, 32, and
his wife have three children,
aged l2, 3 and 6.
Foote replaces William
Freeman.
Remainder of the faculty
will be the same as last year
with the exceptions of Mr.
Krough and Mrs. Stevenson,
who resigned. Two replace
ments are to be hired soon.
All football games will be
played away from home this
year since the school's new
field is not yet completed.
Eleven-man football will be
played this season instead of
the six-man variety played in
past years.
The field, however, should
be completed by the start of
baseball and track seasons in
the spring. The underground
sprinkling system is being laid
now and the turf is expected
to be planted soon.
Within the next two weeks,
a new roof will be built on
the gymnasium to replace the
one which leaked during last
year's hard storms.
New science equipment has
arrived and typewriters, tape
recorders and other equip
ment have all been recondi
tioned and are ready for use.
A fence is to be duih arouna
the entire campus and the
custodian also has painted
several of the classrooms.
