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

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

Rogue river. 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.

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
