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.

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 .

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

ern Pacific railroad will pay

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

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.
