MONDAY. AUGUST IS. 1960 . MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Prospect Rangers Ship Trees to Forestry Meeting By FRANCES RING ' Mail Tribune Correspondent Prospect-An interesting as signment recently received by the Prospect Ranger district was the preparation of live trees for the Fifth World For estry Congress in Seattle. A total of 85 different spe cies of trees native to the United States are to be plant ed. Delegates from 85- coun tries will plant the trees in the University of Washington ar borteum during the first week of September. Prospect Ranger District has been assigned the job of liftine. balling and boxing ready for shipment one of . each of the following species: sugar pine, Jeffry pine, west ern white pine, Shast fir and madrone. The trees are to be 4 to 6 feet high and shipped balled in wooden boxes. Selection, balling and nurs ing of the trees has been as signed to Orchardist Bill Rob erts under the supervision of Ranger Doug Baker. The most difficult part of the Job is the actual lifting and balling of trees in the forest. Extremely dry weather cou pled with the loose pumice soil requires watering of the tree roots with a pumper be fore work is started. After the trees are boxed they must have shade and a continuous mist of water on the foliage during the heat of the day. The" trees were shipped to Seattle today.

Barbers Association International Union of Barbers Oregon AFL-CIO National AFL-CIO Out on a Limb By BOB WALTERS The Rivalry Since arriving in southern Oregon last fall, I've heard considerable talk about the "heated rivalry" between Medford and Ashland. Or Ash land and Medford, as you pre fer. There's certainly a rivalry of sorts-there's bound to be In any two cities located so close together. The heated part, though, is another story. Most of the heat comes from relatively few sources. Sources of hot air, natur ally. Anyway, I've heard and seen enough to form my own conclusions, the primary one being that the whole thing is pretty darned silly. Both cities could use criticism-constructive criticism - on certain points. But that's not the kind that's publicised. Take the publisher of the Ashland newspaper, for in stance. He writes front page column a few times a week. When he refers to Medford (he usually calls it "Smoggy Bottom"), you can bet what he has to say won't be designed to cement rela tions between the two towns. Last week, after attend ing meeting concerning plans for signs along the new freeway, he concluded with the expected kick-in-the-teeth for the Pear City. He quoted a "veteran coun ty official" as saying, "Med ford is the ding-blasted town I've ever seen, They are al ways scared to death that they won't get every last thing they can." 'I, too, have noticed that trait," said the publisher's column, "and I think I can explain it." His "explanation" follows: "After all, Medford is a young town by comparison to Us neighbors such as Jackson ville and Ashland. By bulling and shoving and hauling, it has managed to snatch, grab and otherwise acquire the biggest and most of every thing the county has to offer. With one possible excep tion. Like the nouveau riche, it seems to have failed to ac quire the culture and social graces that make living truly worthwhile here in Easy Val ley." I don't think the business about b u 1 11 n g, shoving, hauling, snatching and grab bing requires much com ment. Sour grapes. But thai last paragraph interesii me. According to the writer, the people of Medford 'have advanced only slightly since the days of Alley Oop. Medfordltes, in short, are clods. These Medford "clods," however, have shown sur prising interest in such things as the Shakespearean Festival and Southern Ore gon college. I doubt that even the Ashland publisher will dispute the (act thai they give as much moral and financial support to the Festival and college as do Ashlanders. Probably more, simply because there are more people in Medford. Each city has much to offer and most people, fortunately, are content to take advantage of what they please in both communities. In addition to the Festival and college, Ash land also has one of the nicest parks I've ever seen. Medford, on the other hand, is larger and naturally has more stores and, consequent ly, a greater variety of mer chandise. Both cities have beautiful residential areas. What puzzles me is why some people insist on sniping. For them, it has to be "all good" on one side and "all bad" on the other. It's not really a punle, though, in the particular case of the Ashland pub lisher. He's In business to sell newspapers. And he's obviously not above a little "bulling" himself.

Lumber for grandstands and booths has been donated by Siskiyou Mills through the firm's general manager, Rob ert Hardy. Some of the biggest attrac tions will be the games and booths sponsored by the club. The Boy Scouts will have a booth set up for soft drinks and they will use proceeds to help in their activities. Plans are being made for the uiri Scouts to have a cotton candy and popcorn booth as they did last year. The carnival will again be held on Indian Creek st. in front of the barber shop. Saturday night the firemen are putting on a street dance and music will be by Slim King. The S and D Amusement Co. of San Francisco has been contacted for the donkeys for the donkey baseball game Sat urday at the elcejentary school grounds. Children's games also are scheduled for Sunday at the elementary school under the direction of "Red" Orrell. Entries for the boat race Sunday and Monday down tile Klamath river from the Swallows resort to Clear cree have been slow coming in. An additional $50 has been donated by merchants to bring the total prize money to $650. Entry fee is $10, and any type of manually operated boat may be entered in the race. For more information, en trants should contact George Walters of Happy Camp. According to McCann, mer chants and mills have been most generous In donating prizes, money and material toward the carnival and boat race. McCann said Al Bligh of Yreka should be commended for keeping the Lions club banner which is hanging over the main street of Happy Camp in such fine shape. Or rell and Al Swaim put it up and they hope a big wind doesn't turn it over before the big week end. Proceeds will go towards the Boy Scout's building fund which the Lions club has set up. The club has leased 14 acres of land from Siskiyou county and nearly all ma terials for the building have been pledged by local mer chants and businessmen. Only the costs of labor and plumb ing remain for the club to raise, stated McCann. oring Harold T. "Bizz" John son, U. lb. representative for the 2nd California district which includes Siskiyou and 18 other counties. Judge George Tyler was master of ceremonies and Su pervisor Bill Ealy introduced Rep. Johnson. Johnson said it took 21 days to make a circuit of Siskiyou county alone. That there are 400,000 people in the second district. Next January there will be seven new congres sional districts and a reappor tionment for seven new seats. The district should remain "as is" for there is execellent co ordination between the local and federal government, he said. Johnson said the over-all appropriation bill is about what the President asked for. Speaking of the foreign aid budget, he said "How much good it does remains to be seen." "In relation to the- loan pro gram, he continued, "regard less of the build-up and re sult in Cuba, we must con tinue all the same to raise the standard of living and still keep our friends."

The money represents total proceeds of a logging op eration and percentage proceeds of the 4th of July food booth and concessions. Appropriated for the high way system was $27 billion. He said this must be contin ued, then operated on a pay- as-you-go basis. Johnson claimed the natur al resources of Siskiyou boun ty are the greatest in the U.S., with timber the number one industry. . The National Park service can be carried out with in creased funds, he said. It hopes for $15 million the next few years. Yosemite Park gate receipts were between $8 million and $9 million last year. National Forest service is almost self-sustaining at present, he explained. Only appropriation for mines was a small amount for the coal industry. There were allocations for several minerals in Africa that could have been produced in the U. S. "Whoever is in the White House in 1961," Johnson con cluded, "is confronted with serious business which affects all industries. We must de velop a market for our own products or unemployment results. What can be done in 1961 is the question."
