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.

Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. 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. . -
