Rivalry Possible starting lineup for coach Al Akins jayvee five are forwards Dave Graham and Steve DcFore, Fred Louk at center, and guards Jack Hennon and John Cook. Wall Street Chatter New York - ttlPlI - Heller & Meyer says it seems likely that the present minor reces sion will run its course within the first four months of the year, and that thereafter steady improvement will lake place. The improvement, the firm says will be most marked in industries which have been recently depressed, including steel, paper, chemicals, ma chinery and transportation, especially highway transpor tation. Walter K. Gutman of Stearns & Co. doesn't see much risk in holding Chance Vought Aircraft to see if some merger will develop, but he says he has removed it from his list of possible "big plays." Rumors of merger with Long Temco Electronics Inc.-denied by both companies - have stir red up activity in the stock recently. L. C. Hoppers of W. E. Mill ion & Co. says Stone & Web ster has captured his fancy as an excellent value at around 54 with profit possi bilities as the construction business improves. The com pany estimates earnings of S3.55 a share in 1960 against 54.44 in 1959 and pays S3. For the superstitious invest or. Clark, Dodge & Co. notes a happy omen from the Or ient. To wit: "The Year of the Bull began in Asia Jan. 1, 1961, ending the one-year reign of the mouse. People born this year are expected to have patience, pcrserver ance, ruggedness and stabil ity." The firm says these arc qualities which also may serve the investor. 4-H News Daffy Dills The Daffy Dills 4-H club will nieet Saturday, Jan. 7, al 1:30 p.m. at Mrs. Anhorn's home. At the last meeting, Judy Frink acted as president with Carolyn Sidener as secretary. We had a film called "Dyna mic Careers Through Agricul ture." James Anhorn read a poem called "Jingle Bell." We made candle holders nut of candy for Lyn Haven Rest H o m e. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Anhorn. Cathy Anhorn Reporter SLIGHT CHANGE St. Louis - Temperatures which kill living cells are oft q only a few degrees above , uieir iiuiiiicii living icmpcra- I lures. o Woods, Wafer, Wildlife ly Hk It would beo a mistaken childish belief to feel that a resolve to do things different ly during the new year would undo the wrongs committed during the past year. And yet a few resolutions that show a promise to try to make fewer mistakes might have the value of a permanent change for the belter. RESOLUTIONS 1. To keep in mind tha fact that a lack of strikes in a cer tain area has little to do with whether or not fish are there. Sometimes a small change in terminal tackle, such as a lit tle more weight, will make the difference. This is espe cially true in proven holding water. . To play down the atmos phere of competition in hunt ing and fishing. There aren't enough fish or game animals around to stand up to the pressure of competition that is based on a desire to gel more than the other guy. 3. To try to convince the other guy that the smart thing to do is to keep the game going as long as possible. Put ting a steelhead or salmon back in the water can make you feel just like a Santa Claus. 4. To try to understand that the guy who argues with me does so from a different set of facts. Giving out infor mation will do more in the long run lhan trying to prove I'm right. 5. Try to be a better hunter. This is., based on . learning about habits and habitat, fol lowed by lots of practice, and culminating in a clean kill. 6. To keep trying out the other guy's boots. His ideas aren't undertsandable until I have an answer to why he thinks as he does. 7. To try to get all hunters and fishermen interested in having a part in keeping our hunting and fishing. Just buy ing a license won't do it. 8. To try to remember a couple of these all year. BUZZARD ROOST Buzzard Roost dam project on the lower Illinois is well named. If it goes up it will stop the salmon and steelhead and the dead and dying fish below the dam will certainly bring the buzzards to roost. There is far more to fear from this source than there isi from those who wish to pro mole the Copper Canyon dam on the Rogue. The prelimi nary permit has been granted and if the Coos-Curry Co-op can prove feasibility, there is nothing to prevent the FPC granting a license to build it. The money can be borrowed from the federal government at 2 per cent interest, and most probably we will end up paying for the dam and the power, neither of which we want or need. WORSE AND WORSE Those readers who caught the report on the rough draft of the bill to merge the fish and game commissions will be interested in the news that the bill to create a department of natural resources has even less to commend it. Both bills have the sound of an attempt to establish a benevolent dic tatorship by the governor of the slate. The world benevo lent is used on the assumption that the governor believes lhat he alone should decide the future of the natural re sources of the state of Oregon. It's time the people of the state dissuaded him of this belief . TAKE YOUR PICK The Izaak Walton league' and the Oregon Sportsmen' club are meeting this coming Monday evening at 8 p.m. The former in the Red Cross build ing and the Latter al the Girl's Community club.

Medford Coy trsci J Appwv Of Sludge The Medford city council last night approved the sale of sewage plant sludge to Tim ber Products company, with the stipulation that the parks department will retain enough of the sludge to meet its needs. The sludge will be used by Ihe company, according to a report prepared for the coun cil, to experiment with a waste material which de veloped as a by-product of Timber Products' lumber op eration. Timber Products will pur chase up to 100 cubic yards of Ihe finer ground sludge at $7 per cubic yard, City Man ager Robert A. Duff pointed out that the parks department needs a certain amount of sludge for fertilizer, and the council stipulated that the de partment will be guaranteed its needs. In other action, the council was forced to defer until the next meeting a request from DeVorc's Auto Wreckers, 3120 North Pacific highway, for a license renewal. The slate motor vehicle department handles the issuance of li censes, but they first request Ihe council's recommendation. Majority Fails A vole on the request lo grant the license was 4 to 3 in favor, meaning lhat the mea sure failed lo get a three fourths majority, necessary when an item appears before the council for the first lime. Councilman R. L. Van Sickle, Fred Robinson and Bill Sing ler all opposed indefinite re newal of Ihe license. The dispute on the measure came because several council men felt the city should not allow an auto wrecking yard to operate in the city. Others fell the council did not have the right to force a man out of business. Singlcr, a new councilman, noted that the council had previously ordered two other wrecking yards to move out of the city and said the coun cil should slick to a definite policy. Councilman Jimmy Dun levy pointed out that the During Darrelf Miller Company's Big To TimbtiP Products others were ordered to leave the city for different reasons, being that they endangered either the health, welfare or safety of the citizens. It was contended that DeVore Wreck ing yards is not endangering Ihe health, welfare or safely of the city. Ditnlevy said each wrecking yard should be judged individually. The wrecking yard was brought into the city during a recent annexation, and this is the first time it has had to apply for a council recom mendation. Three public hearings were on last night s agenda, but none of them caused much dis cussion. All three measures were approved by the council. They are: A request for a change of zone from single family to multiple family at the north west corner of Crater Lake ave. and Stevens st. It was in dicated that some apartment- type dwellings may be con structed at this location. The request had earlier received the favorable recommendation of the planning commission. Favorable Recommendation A request to annex prop erly owned by the Central Avenue Church of Christ at the corner of Holmes and Oak dale aves. The owners plan lo erect a new church at this location. The planning com mission had recommended fa vorably on the request if sev eral conditions were met. A request to annex lo the cily a tract of land cast of Foothills rd., south of Fair view dr. and adjacent to the Rogue Valley Country club holdings. This area is pro posed for subdivision. The council renewed a lease to J. W. Bigham, J. H. Stanley, Dean' Owens and Lloyd Hanscom lo use the city's 1,000 acres of While City land for grazing pur poses. The lease is for 10 years and the lessees will pay the cily $1,000 rental per year. City to Pay Share The council agreed that the city will pay its share of .. l C (Cr .

The cily and county will each pay one quarter of the cost, and South ern Pacific railroad will pay one half. Cost to the city will be approximately S3, 250. The council awarded bids on several storm sewer proj ects in the city. They are: A bid awarded to W. 11. Conrad Construction com pany, Medford,. lo install a sewer in the Viillev View- llillcresl id. area. The low bid was $15,280. The en gineers estimate was $14,468. A bid awarded to Lakevicw Building Materials company lo install a sewer in the Crater Lake ave.-Stcvens st. area. The low bid was $4,421. The engineers estimate was $3,602. A bid awarded to Lakeview Building Materials company to install a sewer in the Roxy Ann place-Verde Hills st. area. The low bid was $1,509. The engineers estimate was $1,724. Authorize Paving The council authorized the paving of Benson st. from 10th to Prune sts. There was no discussion of the matter last nighl, and although several persons were at the meeting who had vocally opposed the paving at a hearing in Decem ber, they remained silent. The council qualified the Riverside Construction compa ny of Portland to bid upon general cily of Medford con struction projects. An extra-width driveway was approved for the Cedar Lodge motel, although it was somewhat less than the motel requested. A 39-foot driveway approach for the new motel restaurant was approved and a 28-fool driveway for the motel entrance approved. A report from Fire Chief Gordon Barker that a barn owned by O. II. Bengtson on Oregon terrace is not a fire hazard, was accepted by the council. They had earlier or dered an investigation of the barn after several residents of the area had complained about it.
