MEOrOltD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORB. . MONDAY. NOVEMBER 28, 1(60 Personally Speaking Br JOHN STAFFORD Santa Claus hai come to town) He arrived in Medford and Ashland Friday. There i no kiddie in the area who has been looking forward to hit arrival more than tliti writer. A Mail Tribune story Sun day told about Santa's arrival in Medford. Among other things, It mentioned that he passed out Christmas candy to' 1,500 youngsters. I hope that all 1,500 children were believers in Santa. I am. Peo ple who spread rumors to the effect that there Isn't a Santa Claus (or an Easter bunny) make me mad. I have had a few experiences with Santa Claus that dispelled all doubts In my mind as to his existence, One of these follows. It used to be traditional at the Stafford house on Christ mas eve to leave a bowl of corn flakes out for Santa Claus. We always figured that after a trip of several thou. sand miles, the good old guy might be a little hungry. So grandpa and I used to fix up a heaping bowl of flakes, top ped with sugar and milk. . Although I was always asleap when he arrived, I know corn flakes are one ef his favorite dishes. He aie the ones we left for him with apparent sest. For en Christmas morning, all that was left was a spattering sf milk and sugar in and around the bowl. A trail ef corn flakes were left In a neat little path from bowl' to fireplace. In addition, there always was a small note expressing apprecia tion for our thouqhtfulnass. My wife informs me that she had a similar experience. Children in her family always left a bowl of graham crack ers and milk for Santa, with sugar for his reindeer. She Informs me that on Christmas morning, the graham crackers were gone, along with the sugar. Santa came in the front door at her house (they have a very small chimney). Apparently he never bothered to wipe off his feet before heading for the goodies. There were tracks leading from the door to the graham crackers, to the Christmas tree, and back to the door. This is why I believe in Santa Claus. ' This Is the first Christ mas the Stafforda have ever spent away from their homes In Michigan. Never theless, we are looking for-' ward to the season. One of the reasons Is that we ire anticipating much fun in decorating our little apart ment Sunday we discov ered that this area affords one excellent opportunities to obtain choice decorations. We were driving in the country when we saw bushy growths In the bare trees. Aft er observing a few hundred of these, we couldn't put oft our curiosity any longer. We tramped into a field to a tree for closer Inspection. I didn't realize what I was getting myself into. The bushy growth looks like mis tletoe. The Little Woman was certain that It was mistletoe. After fighting her off, I final ly succumbed to a peck on the cheek. Well, to make a long story short, we now have two bags of the bushy growth sitting in the laundry room. Further Identification is needed to de termine whether we have the real thing or just a worthless weed. One other decoration was discovered. We don't know if it is real holly or not, but it certainly looks like' the real Stuff. One bag of this is also residing in the laundry room. (Not to mention a sack ' of pine cones.) Although it is a little late, we would like to make a few comments about the Medford Black Tornado footballers. We like to think that we come from country where football Is really king. Michigan pro duces many fine high school and college teams annually. The rosters of most Big Ten teams and even teams as far away as Wyoming and Ari zona list Michigan footballers. Although college football in Oregon doesn't draw as large crowds as those In the mid west, its followers are cer tainly as enthusiastic. And this Is true on the high school level also. Medford fans were proud and boastful of the Black Tornado gridders. They had a right to feel this way. For as an outsider, we must say that we have seen few foot ball teams as fine as the one Medford had this year. Hard work and fine coach ing were evidently responsi ble for this. . That they lost to the state champion David Douglas team is a credit to the Medford New Hunter Safely Slated To Start Eagle Polnt-A new hunter safety class for boys and girls 12 years of age and older will be started this Thursday night at 7 p.m. in the Eagle Point Scout house on South C St. Theodore Hoffman is the li censed instructor and the course is offered free to any area youngster Interested. The National Rifle associa tion hunter safety course teaches proper gun handling In circumstances relating to hunting. Basic Information about ammunition and guns, especially as applied to their safe use, is included. Sports manship is stressed too, be cause safe hunting and sports manship go hand in hand. There is no intent to teach ex pert markmanship. That is a separate subject requiring considerably more training and practice. The sole aim of this course is to give the hunter basic in formation which should en able him to avoid hunting ac cidents. The NRA wishes to spread the principles of safe hunting to as many people as possible. This course is used In all states which have state' wide hunter safety programs and la used as well by many clubs and individuals. Hoffman started this course last May and has graduated three classes to date with most of the boys receiving high praise for their handling of guns while hunting this year, Hoffman stated that the Eagle Point merchants were spon soring the course. .

By MAUDE 2IEGLER Applegate Valley - A pic ture as pretty as a Christmas card was made when Marlene Moore looked out of her win dow at the snowy mountains and contrasted the climate and contour of the country- with her home state of Louisiana. Marlene has the old covered McKee bridge literally at her back door and she pondered that snow makes the summer water supply. . In Louisiana there Is neither snow nor mountains nor need for Irrigation. Marlene was making a cake for her tiny daughter Sherril on her sec ond birthday, and she describ ed Louisiana summers. Rains come often, always heralded by a big black cloud rolling up and often accompanied by thunder and lightning. She mentioned the tornadoes and hurricanes. But summer mois ture never interferes with the potato, cotton and peanut har vest. As Marlene baked her cake and brewed fragrant coffee, her Junior high school daugh ter Mary was anticipating the church hamburger try, and William, her sophomore boy, was getting ready to go some where. The five-year-old son was entertaining Charlie, the Dachshund pup. " - Mr. and Mrs. Moore are llv ing here in their second at tempt in a few years to be come accustomed to the west "Once you have been here, you - always want to come back," Marlene said, and she wished there had been more snow Friday.
