bUnOAt, ttbltUAiDT 6. 198 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. Champlin and Walsh Attend Meeting On Police Standards Sheriff Joe Walsh and Med ford Police Chief Charles P. Champlin met with Gov. Mark Hatfield in Salem last week to discuss establishing fitness standards for police officers in the state. An advisory committee has been proposed to prescribe physical standards for police officers. This advisory group to the governor would, in ad dition, be empowered to pre scribe for police officers rea sonable minimum training procedures, Walsh said. The meeting came as a re sult of a bill prepared for legislative action by Rep. George Van Hoomissen, chair man of the house judiciary committee. The intent of the bill is to improve the compe tency of the state's police of ficers. It would also apply to county sheriff's departments and municipal police depart ments. Van Hoomissen said at the meeting that there is strong feeling among the house of representatives' members that such a program is needed. This bill is expected to receive substantial support from the slate senate through the ef forts of Sen. Carl Francis, a proponent of this type of pro gram for years. Others attending the meet ing were Superintendent of State Police F. G. Maison, Jo seph E. Thornton, special agent in charge of the Port land office of the Federal Bu reau of Investigation; Eugene Police Chief Art Ellsworth, and Capt. Gene Ferguson and James Brouillete, Portland police bureau.

Watkins (RegllUr mnd Tribune Syndicate, 1961) All Creaturei Expr.tt Joy or Contentment Every living creature seems to have some visible means of cxpiesslng joy. contentment or happiness to some degree. The dog wags his tail when he is happy, barks or laps his master's hand. A cat Durrs or curls up and takes a cat-nap. The cow seems very content ed to just lie quietly and chew her cud. A horse may roll, shake its head violently or break into a gallop. Even the pig grunts with a subdued and surpris ing tenderness when it is not worried over whatever it is that a hog frets about. The hen clucks or takes a dust b a t h. Squirrels, raccoons, mice and even the rabbits in dustriously wash Ihcir faces with their forcpaws. Happy Croaks The frog crawls upon a lily pad and vocally tells every one within hearing distance that as long as water and bugs are plentiful he, too, is con tent. The absolute bliss ex hibited by a mud turtle is readily apparent when the sun warms his sluggish blood as he sits on the top oi a log after a chilly night. The toad, whose stomach is bulging with insects, blinks his sleepy eyes in what most certainly is toad Joy. When he is crammed with food, he has attained the absolute pinna cle of happiness a content ment which will last until the processes of digestion reduce the crowding bulk to a liquid. Birds seem to have a spon taneous joy of living. Many of Ihem act, at times, as though they could hardly contain themselves. They strut, fluff out their feathers, or burst into song. Watch the same bird on a cold rainy day and see how sad and melanchoy he becomes; he droops his wings and acts as if the entire world s gone sour. We'd hardly expect a fish to manifest any emotion, but they, too, apparently have their moments when they try to enjoy themselves or at least find escape in a differ ent activity. Pushing Shells They have been observed dashing at an air bubble or playfully pushing a shell along the bottom or rushing frantically at an imaginary companion or other object in an apparent effort to be gay. It isn't diffult to find aqua rium owners who will insist that tame goldfish give indi cations of being exceedingly happy when tickled on the nose or rubbed gently under the chin. Of course, no ani mal becomes actually hystcr- cal or hilarious. Most of 'hem have too many troubles and problems confronting them dally to be carefree and gay for any extended period of trine, but all have, each in its separate way, moments when they do something very indicative of happiness ex cept, of course, laughing right out loud. Cadet Receives Highest Award A certificate of proficiency, the highest award for a Civil Air Patrol cadet, was present ed Monday night to Cadet Second Lt. Joyce Stewart, Ashland. Capt. John W. Keen er, commander of Medford squadron, CAP, presented the certificate at the squadron's general assembly. The award was made on behalf of ,the national com mander, representing the CAP and the Air Force, in recogni tion of the successful comple tion of the cadet training pro gram. Capt. Keener stated that "to acquire the highest cadet award required a great deal of study and effort, but the work invested has a just re ward not only in self satisfac tion but in knowledge and benefits which will be useful throughout the future." Lieutenant Stewart has studied and worked for three years for the certificate. City's Street Lighting Reported Below Standard Eighty-one new street Sights were installed in Medford dur ing the last six months of 1960. but thp ritv'c crW lighting standards are still only half that of the recom mended standards for a rtv of this' size, according to City manager itooert A. Duff. Duff submitted a report of the city's street lighting ac tivities to the city council at us meeting last week. He noted that the mainritv nf re quests for installation or re placement ot city street lights during this period have been fulfilled. A few aro din unrior study, he said. Duff told the council that budget limitations prevent the city from meeting the recom mended lighting standards. He said the city is below standard in both the intensity and spac ing of streets lights. He said later that the city budgets $45,000 a year for street lighting purposes alone. The intensity of the new street lights ranges from 20, 000 lumen (200,000 candle power) lights in the downtown area, to 2,500 lumen (25,000 candle power) lights in resi dential areas. Duff pointed out In his re port that there are 109 low in tensity 1,000 lumen lamps re maining to be replaced with 2,500 lumen lights in the city. He noted that only three were replaced during the six month period. . - TROWBRIDGE & FLYNN Repairs All Sizes and Shapes of . . .
