MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1960 B 3 MroroMTtiBtfiii SIPdDMTS Tornadoes Tillamook A strong second quarter, ballhawking defense and backboard domination were the victory elements here last night as the Medford high bas ketball contingent scrapped to a 44 to 27 win over Tillamook in the first mix of a two game series. The Black Tornado and vis iting Cheesemakers have at it again this evening at the Hcd rick gym. Tipoff time is 8:15 p.m. Prospect varsity will face Medford high jayvees in the 6:30 p.m. curtain-lifter. Spurt Falls Off . Medford's hard "romping cagers never were behind but led only 8 to 3 after a first period which went scoreless for the first three minutes. In the second stanza, however, the Tornadoes pumped in seven buckets from the field and seven tosses from the gift stripe to outpoint the coast aggregation 21 to 5 and the halftime score was 29 to 8.

Wall Street Chatter New York -IUP1I- Goodbody & Co. repeats what it has been saying for some weeks: the stock market outlook for 1961 is encouraging. The next few days, it says, are likely to involve pressure from last minute tax selling, but the evidence still favors a further rally which may carry into the new year. "For speculative flavor," according to Investors Re search Co., "the motion pic ture group offers the specula tive account a representative list of wide capital gain candi dates from which to choose when a buying juncture pre sents itself in the immediate months ahead." Alan C. Poole of Hemphill, Noyes '& Co. lists 10 favorites for 1961: AVCO, Boeing, Cin cinnati Milling, Continental Can, Diners' Club, Homestake Mining, International Har vester,' Minerals & Chemicals, Republic Steel, and Universal Match.

Pacific Highway is 4 is Subdue 44-27 ford in each of the last two quarters. But a Cheesemaker spurt at the start of the sec ond half fell off after a few fast breaks misfired and the Black Tornado was not dan gerously challenged after that. Medford's Dick Ragsdale with 12 points and Bob.Quin ney with 10 were the high tabulators for the evening. Leon Thompson's seven was tops for the visitors. Quinney sparked the Tornado's 42 to 24 rebounding edge by retriev ing the ball 15 times from the boards. Mark Sather gleaned eight rebounds for Tillamook. Neither team was warm in its shooting. Tillamook de fenders didn't give the home club a chance in the key area in the early stages and the Tornado had only a .287 field gunning mark on 17 goals in 59 shots. The Cheesemakers out averaged the Tornado with .297 but the ballhawk ing Tornado, with fierce bat tling under the hoops, allow ed Tillamook just 37 shooting chances, and not a wealth of good ones. Tillamook swished the net from the field 11 times. Team Tumi Hot The boys from the land of cheese, trees and ocean breeze were hot as the third canto got underway. They bid to make a game of it with four buckets to Medford's one point in the first two minutes of the panel. Gary Spencer put in a work-in shot for Tillamook. Quinney got a gift er for the Tornado. Then, Hill potted a jumper and Leon Thompson and Sather follow ed from the field. That cut the gap to 14 points at 30 to 16. Ragsdale countered for Medford with a long jump and Jim Barry with a jump from the side. A Ragsdale rebound- er gave the Tornado a 20-point 36 to 16 spread. Biggest Med ford bulges were 22 markers, 42 .to 20 and 44 to 22. All players of each team 11 for the Cheesemakers and 13 for Medford, saw service in the ruckus. Strictly re serves were in action the last three minutes for the Tor nado. Tillamook managed just one field goal each in the first and second quarters. ', Preliminary play saw the Medford junior varsity beat a combined St. Mary s varsity- jayvee club 47 to 29. Quarter counts were in Tornado favor 8 to 6, 19 to 9 and 29 to 13. BOX: Tillamook FG L.

"T" OF SMITH & MEN By Jack Smith (c) 1960 Timei-Mlrror Syndicate On the day I had earmarked for Christmas shopping I set out for town in an airy mood. This, after all - the giving -is the'essense of the Christ mas spirit. . My heart glowed and crackled like a fireplace as I sailed over the freeway. I hummed "Jingle Bells." The engine hummed counterpoint. Every valve was in good voice. When the green station wagon slid alongside and the man with the beardless Santa Claus face stuck his head out the window, I had an impulse to cry out "Merry Christ mas!" . . . He spoke first, however. "Whyncha watcha goin?" he screamed. His face was a purple mask. He yanked it back in like a dog on a leash and roared on, blasting his horn. , He' didn't look like Santa Claus after all, I realized. He looked like a steamed egg plant. I had quit humming . Downtown I drove in a parking lot. .The attendant raked my little car with a sneer. He handed me a red ticket. "How long?" he growl ed. "I don't know," I said. "Maybe an hour. Maybe all day." "Grmpf!" he said. He got in my car. It sprang away like a kicked cat. I went in a store to look at telescopes. The first one the man showed me was $56.98. Phon. SP 2-7171 4 4 .46 4& 46 Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank Sound the call to arms! The enemy is attacking! Now is the time for all brave con servationists to- come to the defense of the Rogue river and fight for what is theirs! THE ENEMY After years of strife the people of the Rogue river basin finally have agreed as to the development of the potentials of the river waters. At least this was the hope of those who have been most concerned with the problems of floods, fish, and irrigation. Now we find that we have a new enemy to face one that calls itself the Josephine County Public Power asso ciation. A group that states one of its objectives to be; "To promote and work for construction of the pro posed high dam at Copper canyon, on the Rogue river below Agness," ILLUSION Visualize if you can a dam several hundred feet in height that would back water al most to Grants Pass on the Rogue and to the falls on the Illinois. A shoreline of 2,600 miles that would open up some new timber land. Enough harnessed water to develop 750,000 kilowatts of firm power on a year-round basis. And in the words of the Josephine County Public Power association: "It would have tremendous recreational possibilities." REALITY Now picture the utter annihilation of one of the most picturesque, wildly remote river canyons in the world.. A concrete monstro sity that would destroy some of the finest fishing country in the world. A ma terialistic marvel that would bring down the cur tain on one of the unique enjoyments of mankind that of risking life and limb in a small boat guided through swirling, roaring, white water rapids of the "I'm afraid that's loo much," I told him. He snatch ed it back. "What do you expect,!' he said. "See Jupiter's rings for S1.98?" "Jupiter," I advised him coldly, "doesn't have rings. I believe you have it confused with Pluto." "How would I know!" he shouted. "I'm supposed to be in ladies' leather goods. Who do they think I am all of a sudden - Galileo?" I drifted down the sidewalk with the crowd. A scraggy man in a pawnshop coat block ed my way. He breathed at me. "Buddy!" he croaked. I gave him a quarter. He reeled on down the sidewalk with out looking up. "Merry , C h r i s t m a s," I grumbled. The old Yuletide flame was. beginning to flick er. A string of a man in an old set of red underwear and a cotton beard tinkled a bell at me. He was sitting despon dently on a box in front of an iron pot. He rolled a rheumy eye at me. I hurried on. "Fraud," I thought." Probably goes home every night in a Mercedes Benz." ,! I walked through the park. An outraged young man in a horsehide jacket was haran guing a seedy congregation of disenchanted panhandlers. "Get ready!" he thundered. The Lord rideth upon a swift cloud! Prepare thyself!" "Amen!" I thought. I went back to look at the telescope again. Why let a Scrooge of a salesman bother me? His face lit up. "Glad you came back, he said. "Sorry I blew up. I'm no good out here in space. I should be in leather." I bought a telescope for $7.89. "I bet you can see rMutos rings with this, all right," he said. "Merry Christmas!" I walked back to the man in the red underwear and dropped a quarter in his iron pot. He rang his bell madly. "Merry C h r i s t m a s!" he wheezed. I went back to the parking lot. I gave the attendant the red ticket and paid him. He smiled. "Merry Christmas!" he said. "What' that?" I asked. "Why, merry Christmas," he said, On the way home the car hummed "Jingle Bells." Me too.

A long, nar row, 131 miles of lake with tremendous fluctuations of water level together with constantly increasing accu mulations of logs and log ging debris. CONFUSION There are those who would say that the headings used in the two preceding columns are transposed. But this actu ally depends upon the read er's point of view. The values found in the lower Rogue ri ver are very real to many of us, while, contrariwise, the results of economic progress typified by dams and inten sive logging can be consid ered to be of temporary value. There are too many people who still confuse hu man progress with economic progress of any kind. WHAT IS IT- One is led to wonder as to the seriousness of the proposal. Is it really an at tempt to create a public , power source? Or is it a scheme to further the poli tical ambitions of certain individuals? It is an at tempt to bring back the lumber industry of Grants Pass? Or is it a red her ring to create dissention in order to thwart the overall basin development plan of the Corps of Engineers. Is is a get-rick-quick scheme by use of cheaply borrowed money to build a power dam that would bring a high percentage return on 'the investment? What is be hind this apparently fan tastic scheme? IGNORANCE? This group seems com pletely unaware of the devel opments that have been tak ing up the interest of many people in the Rogue basin. They sound as though they have just come down out of the hills, found the river, and have decided that the water should be harnessed for power and for lumber. The bait thrown to the public in the form of recreation possi bilities is an insult to intelli gence. The whole deal sounds so much like good old-fash ioned plundering that it would be laughable if it were not for the fact that it could happen. Let the public be ware! THE ANGLER'S LOG , How many Oregon fish ermen who fish the Klam ath ' and Smith rivers in California realize that they are allowed only two steel head or salmon as a bag limit? Page 7 of the synop sis is very informative. It also stales that the salmon or steelhead shall be re corded on the Oregon punch card when brought into this state. It's time to think about it. Illinois River Has been picking up all week. The big winter run is supposed to be coming in. The bulk of the run will be here for Christ mas and should provide some god fishing for the next week or so, providing the weather holds. Deer creek is throw ing mud but it isn't hurting the fishing too much. Klamath River Reports of fish in the Happy Camp Scotts Bar area indicate a new run is working its way up. Things are slow in the Horn brook area. Rogue River Several fish from 7 to 9 pounds have been caught in the Galice area. Cluster eggs are still the best bet. Galice and Coyote creeks are throwing mud but fish are being caught in spite of dirty water. The big winter run is in. Smith River A few fish are showing up but the fish ing is slow. The big run has still to come and should be starting any day now. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER The Copper canyon fan tasy may be the means by which the people of the Rogue basin will become certain in their knowledge of the values found in this unique river and the fish which make it famous.

Columbia is now the University of Portland, The Family Council Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of a Judge a psychia trist, three clergymen, three editors and a women's editor Each article is a summary of an actual case history. The Council reports on problems that niv. been dealt with by responsible acenclcs and Mrs. U. J. - My daughter prefers her mother-in-law to me. Kathryn R. - Jim's mother is so alive, so interesting. Mrs. U. J. - My daughter, Kate, and her husband live in Chicago, but they come East three or four times during the year and visit both mothers. We live within a mile of each other. What gets me is that the young folks spend a polite evening with me and then hurry over to Mrs. R's house and spend most of their visit ing time with her. When I try to wangle another evening out of them, they make excuses that Jim's mother has some thing special planned. It's really like a slap in the face to have my own daughter stay home so briefly and then have all the time in the world for Mrs. R. It's not Jim's fault, I know.,. He and I get along fine and he's never in as much of a rush to leave as Kate is. Maybe it's just the novelty of a new face. Kate and Jim are married only three years and I guess Kale's still getting to know Mrs. R. But even if I'm just "old hat" to her, she ought to put me back in first place. Kathryn R.-The amount of time we spend with my moth er has nothing to do with the strength of my love for her. I'm surprised at this childish show of jealousy. My admiration for Jims mother would be the same even if I were not in the fam ily because she is a type of person I've always tried to emulate. If my mother stops to recollect, she'll realize that the teachers I had crushes on and the girls I formed close friendships with were always on the poised, sophisticated side. While my mother is a dear, motherly person, her outlook is so limited that her conver sation grows terribly boring after a half-hour or so. I've heard it all hundreds of times and can tell exactly what's coming when she raises topic. But Mrs. R. keeps things humming and being with her is stimulating and cnalleng ing. She reads a lot, takes courses, attends interesting meetings, travels, meets all kinds of people. It keeps us on our toes to be with her. I can't see how it makes me less of a daughter to enjoy talking about the world situ ation with my mother-in-law more than omelets with my mother. The Council - The "easy" answer here would be for Kathryn and Jim to take Mrs. J. along when they flit over to Jim's mother's place, or for them to see the mothers together in Mrs. J.'s living room. But in view of Kath- ryn's dim view of her moth er's conversational prowess, this wouldn't work. Mrs. J.'s presence at the gabfest would be inhibiting. Kathryn seems dazzled by the pyrotechnics of Mrs. R.'s personality. Mrs. J. has cor rectly explained her daugh ter's boguilement as due to the 'novelty" of finding such a youthful zest for living in an older woman, a mother-in-law. But that's only part of the reason for the apparent de fection. (We say "apparent" because Kathryn will deny any lessening in her affection for her mother, and attributes the latter's complaint to jeal ousy.) The other reasons are 1 evident and possibly remova ble. Kathryn hasn't reassured her -lother sufficiently that as mother, she holds first place in her heart. She must show her mother that her "running off" is an impersonal matter, similar to leaving for a con cert or poetry reading. In addition, Kathryn may be hurting her mother by un fair comparisons and tacit criticism. Her shining-eyed descriptions of her mother-in- law may sound as though she's blind to her own moth er's attainments. After all, each mother must be viewed as the "product" of manv forces and influences, some of which could not be controlled. Admiration is due each in terms of what she made out of the raw materials granted ner. Mrs. J. might welcome the gentle nudge Kathryn is giv- ng nor toward raising her sights higher than local gossip and prejudices. Instead of chatting on about Cousin Lu lu's dog having puppies, why not surprise the children by telling them the latest on the Enjoy the holiday spirit of your favorite tavern...
