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

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.
YOUTH RALLY
Applegate - A Youth Rally
was held in the Applegate

gathered together for the eve
ning. The new pastor of the
Williams church, Rev. Roy
Price, led the devotional serv

Personally
Speaking
By JOHN STAFFORD
Last Friday 17 Mail Tribune
regional correspondents gath
ered at the Jackson hotel in
Medford for a meeting with
the managing and regional
editors.
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.

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
