THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24. 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. A 3 Ashland Judge Blames Parents for Problems Ashland - Municipal Judge Richard Cottle blames most juvenile delinquency p r o b lems on the delinquents' par ents. Cottle's statement came at the noon luncheon of the Ashland Chamber of Com merce in the Mark Antony hotel Tuesday. Cottle said that many par ents seem to think it is easier to let someone else take care of their children's problems. He said this belief comes about because most areas now have psychiatrists, psycholo gists and paid social workers available for dealing with juvenile problems. To Juvenile Department "As of Jan. 1, 1960, all juvenile offenses have been transferred to the juvenile de partment of the circuit court," Cottle informed the gathering. The only violations referred to municipal or justice courts are those involving traffic vio lations, Cottle said. He observ ed that "if teenagers are go ing to enjoy the advantages and privileges of an adult in being granted a driver's li cense, they should expect adult treatment for viola . tions." He posed the question "Why should a juvenile driver be treated any differently than an adult driver?" Pine, Myrtle May Have 'Migrated' By SID HOLLINGSWORTH Berkeley, Calif. - Southern Oregon pine and myrtle trees may have "migrated" in one of the geologic periods from southern latitudes, according to a theory explained to bot anists attending the lecture series of Professor Rudolf Flo rin of the Royal Swedish Academy of Scientists at the University of California. The presence in the south ern hemisphere of varieties of trees not found in the north contradicts the theory that the northern hemisphere is the point of origin of all flora, Florin reported. Thus, some unusual species may have mi grated north. Fir and several other cone bearing trees apparently are "native" in the north, accord ing to his review of the ever green family. Professor Florin declined to be drawn into the contro versy over the origin of the myrtle tree. "I am only fa miliar with the conifers," he said. In the migratory process, the conifers, he said, preceded the flowering plants. ni UKUULTI ,1 zjltl tlNfro,?-' RING BELIEVED CRACKED - Stanislaus county sheriff's officers said they have cracked what possibly was a state-wide burglary ring which sold stolen goods in California, Idaho, Washington and Oregon.

Migrating Sun, Stars, PnrvnlHs Whiln vnn'r,' sleeping tonight, thousands of migrating birds will be on the move overhead. Some will be leaving Ore gon for warmer southlands. Others will be coming here for the winter and others will be just passing through. Put them together and you have a "moving" story that is al most fantastic, says an Ore gon State college zoologist. Migrating birds navigate by un and stars with uncanny sense and a phenomenal hom ing instinct, ur. nooeri ivi. Storm points out. They re turn to approximately the same areas each winter and summer after traveling hun HppHe nf thousands of miles. They apparently can see and remember lancimarKS. Thnueh hirds ordinarily mi- ffrato ratlinr slnwlv. some mav travel 200 to 300 miles in a night, Storm adds. Some Ore gon birds, such as Swainson's haivlr nf pastern Oregon will go clear to the southern end of South America lor the winter. The tiny hum mingbird travels to Mexico. Good Winter Area Wpslnm Oreeon is a fairly tynnH wintm- area for water fowl and some small birds. Starlings overwinter here in tremendous numbers from the Plains States and are becom ing a serious nuisance. Several well-known birds don't migrate. They're Oregon residents me year ruunu, Storm explained. These in clude the meadow lark, jay, most wood peckers, song sparrow, junco (sometimes called snow bird), most West ern Oregon nawKS, macK- birds, and probably robins. ome experts theorize tnai perhaps robins do some mov ing from season to season. Poor fliers " sucn as quau and pheasants are "stuck in about the same area all tneir lives, Storm noted. Complicated Migration Sea gull migration is com plicated. The common sea gull of the Oregon coast, the Western gull, stays here all year. The common gull of Eastern Oregon moves to the Coast for the winter. And sev eral other gulls that nest in northlands such as Alaska also migrate down to the Ore eon Coast area. That means thai several kinds of Bulls are present on the Oregon Coast during the winter and it lakes a real expert to tell them apart, ac cording to Storm. Only minor differences in shading and color of bills and feet dis tinguish one kind of gull from another. In migration flights, most birds keep relatively close to the ground. This brings deatn to many birds that crash into high buildings, towers,, light houses, etc. . ' Lights Confuse Birds Lights are confusing to birds on the move, particu larly geese. Often birds land on air port runways thinking the wet pavement is a body of water. Sometimes they get lost and circle until dawn. Airport cellomelers - the beacon lights that shine straight up to determine cloud .ceilings-confuse birds also, says Storm. They sometimes keep flying around and mio the shaft of light until they fall exhausted to the ground. Just what triggers fall mi gration is not exactly known, Storm confesses. One theory is that it is tied to accumu lation of body fat, and that when a certain point is reach ed the birds are ready to move. Return migration In the spring apparently is tied to some extent with onset of tl-.a breeding cycle. Changing day lengths probably act as the master control for both. Continue in December Bird migrations from Ore gon start in August and prob ably reach a peak in late Sep tember and October but con tinue well Into December. At the peak, literally millions of birds take wing at night for their annual journey. Some birds arc just ' "mi grants" In Oregon on their trips north and south. Whist ling swans just stop off here and snow geese don't stay long either. The most marked migration route In Oregon is up and down the Coastline, but other common migration routes ex tend along the Willamette valley and north-south across eastern Oregon.
