Rural Reflections By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley - A little yellow jeep scooting around the country at dusk to com plete the day's jobs is very likely to be Grange Master Anna Scott attending to . the many duties arising in her office in the Grange. At the moment ' Grange members are concentrating on their program for open house this Friday evening, Anna says, which is being arranged by Lecturer Lora Scott. (The two ladies are no relation.) The basis for the program Is a thorough understanding of various area organizations. Many people will be on the program including representa tives of the Cattlemen's asso ciation, the soil conservation service and many others. Keeping uppermost in her mined that the Grange stands for community service, Anna notes there are many matters of considerable weight with which the Grange is concern ed. The proposed system of flood control dams with one located below Copper is to be reckoned with, and she dele gated James Corson and Har lan Cantrall to attend a meet ing on the project in Grants Pass this week. The business of future zoning in the Apple gate area is to be investigated, for Anna says opinions in the community are definitely di vided. Then on the lighter side, many members are oc cupied at present with getting In the Red Cross minstrel show March 4. Anna travels by jeep these rainy days to make sure of arrival at her destination, for muddy conditions at the Scott ranch in the remote areas of Little Applegate make travel ing unsure. Sometimes she takes over the hills via Wag ner creek and Talent when the Little Applegate road is inaccessible. She also helps her husband with ranch work.

Purpose of the meeting was to consider problems confront ing regional reporters. The meeting lasted four hours. In that time we learned many things about our regional cor respondents. Most of them are house wives. - R. E. Nelson is the only male c o r r e s pondent. Some live in towns and some live on farms. They come from all walks of life. Many of them have lived in the Rogue valley area all their lives. Some have come from other areas. One woman came from the thriving metropolis New York City. They all have one thing in common - they enjoy writing and take delight in the many personal contacts they make as correspon dents. In addition, they are keenly aware of the service they perform for people in their areas. They want to do everything possible to maintain this coverage on a high level. In many areas, the Mail Tribune ii the only newspaper offering local coverage. The correspon dent assumes even greater importance in these areas. Most of our correspondents are writing as a hobby. They get paid for their hobby. How ever, many times the.financial reimburse m e n t can never make up for the trials and tribulations they go through in gathering news. Few cor respondents will ever get rich writing for any newspaper. However, few news papers serving a wide area can get along without correspondents. This is particularly true in the case of the Mail Tribune. We cover an area stretching from Tiller and Drew in the north to Happy Camp and Yreka in the south. We serve more than 20 communities in southern Oregon' and north ern California. It would be physically impossible to give adequate coverage to these areas without regional cor respondents. All correspondents are active in organisations in their areas, we learned. A few don't have children in school any more. However, they still belong to the local PTA. The Grange, cham ber of commerce, women's clubs, churches and schools are a few of the organiza tions having correspondents as members. One correspondent said she reports news for more than 4!) clubs and civic organiza tions in her community of less than 700 people. Others indi cated they dealt with a simi lar total. We were pleased to learn that most correspondents have had favorable reaction to the regional page idea. It was initiated about one year ago. Prior to the regional page, news from communities was run under one heading. Many news items appeared in each column. The regional page separates these items and gives each one individual em phasis under an individual headline. Several stories from an area can appear each week. The regional page is widely read in the regional commu nities and Medford. Medford ites read it to keep up on hap penings in the smaller com munities, we learned. Our correspondents lake pride in being regional re porters. And we certainly regard them with a feeling of pride. We think they are of the highest caliber.

He came to the his wife has always wanted to operate a Applegate country from Hollywood where cattle ranch. After 28 years he has realized he was a film laboratory chemist for Para- his ambition and is a fulltime cattle rancher mount studios, in the Applegate valley. "This is it," he REALIZES LIFETIME AMBITION Former Hollywood Resident Finds Cattle Ranching Is Enjoyable Work By MAUDE ZIEGLER Mail Tribune Correspondent Applegate Valley- Clarence Roloff nods his i head vigor ously, grins broadly and says, "This is it. He means he is running the cattle ranch he always wanted, although on a small scale, and is thorough ly enjoying summer irrigat ing, fence repairing and all the rest that goes with ranch ing. This is after 28 years in the laboratory of Paramount studios in Hollywood. He has spent much time "hoofing it" up and down the mountain when his cattle didn't want to stay on their spring range on nearby Gray back. "And it got monoton ous," he says, but he finally installed a cattle guard and put up fencing which helped the situation. But the cows would still jump the cattle guard, he reports. But nevertheless, he and Mrs. Roloff are enjoying this new phase of living, for Ro loff's favorite vacation haunts in the past were the marvel ous grass lands of Arizona and New Mexico where cattle grazed, or to the large cattle ranches of the California des erts. Here he watched the hands working with cattle and talked to the cowboys. Roloff has owned two small ranches at different times. One supported a family or chard. Neither permitted more than half a dozen Here fords. Purchase Ranch Three years ago the couple purchased the 40 acre ranch at the mouth of Squaw creek from Albert Collins. With the ranch went about 35 head of cattle. It was when they visit ed Mrs. Roloff's sister, Mrs. P. W. Foster, of Medford, that they decided to locate in the Applegate. It was in May and June and it rained for three weeks, so I thought we'd have lots of water," Roloff related. The deciding factor with Mrs. Ro loff was the rippling Squaw creek which flows through their property near the house. They say steelhcad inhabit the stream, but they don't find much time for fishing. The Roloff s have built a new home on their ranch, utilizing the residence al ready on the place, and have added another structure which eventually will be come a guest house. He pur chased a fine sorrel cow pony named Flash from Fred West, and with this horse he takes his cattle to the summer range at Cameron meadows and Frog pond , in the upper reaches of Middle Fork trib utary of the Applegate.

Indoctrination Methods Described by Applegate Valley A des cription of the methods by which American prisoners in Korea were indoctrinated by Communists was given local people recently by Dr. Mar shall Woodell, professor of political science at Southern Oregon college. Woodell spoke at a meeting of the Ruch Parent-Teacher association, and gave high lights of an intercepted Chi nese document listing the Chi nese appraisal of the weak nesses of the American sol dier. Woodell, who is serving as head of the graduate depart ment of SOC, said faith, cour age, loyalty, and persever ance are not weapons issued in the armed forces. They come in the home, and must be taught in the cradle, at parent's knees, across parent's knees, and throughout the ed ucational process. He challenged his listeners by asking what each one had done that day to serve de mocracy. He answered his own question by saying that were the group a gathering of Communists, each would have a long list of accomplish ments for his cause. The local PTA group also presented a short observance of Founder's Day. Mrs. Fred West, who served as president of the Ruch organization in its second term 11 years ago, was presented with a past president's pin by Mrs. Neil Suttoll, vice president of the Ruch chapter. Woodell presented a tape recording narrated by a Ma rine Corps psychiatrist, Wil liam E. Myer, and describing the system of brain washing and weakening of morale of those in the slave camps with out use of torture or drugs. Their methods employing psy chology were said to be an outgrowth of Czarist Russian secret methods. One of the weapons describ ed was controlled mail and deletion of photographs, mes sages of love, prayers, and hope from home. Mail allowed to reach the soldiers told of STEEL USERS Cleveland - In a peacetime year nine slates use 80 per cent of the U.S. supply of steel.

Those with leadership abil ity were isolated, and many others were made to feel isolated. If one committed a small offense, the recording stated, he was reported and the informer was rewarded The culprit was taken in hand for confession. Those who talked to any extent were made to feel they had said too much, and eventually the men felt they couldn't trust anyone and withdrew into their own mental solitary con finement and self criticism. English speaking Chinese officers extended the boys a welcome "to the ranks of the people," and told them the state of affairs was not their fault, but that of the war mongers in Washington.

These deaths reflect on the American peo ple as much as anyone, Wood ell said. Among 4,000 prison ers, it was said none tried to escape. In applying their indoctrin ation, the Communists had as sumed the following charac teristics of the American sol dier partially quoted hero from their intercepted docu ment: he has weak loyalties to his family, community, country, religion, and fellow soldier: his concepts of right and wrong are hazy and in formed; opportunism is easy for him; by himself he is frightended and insecure; ,-,e underestimates h- --fp , strength, and ability to sur vive, and he is social values, tensions, and conflicts of our times.
