erable damage also was re

est camp.
At the Houston ranch a sad
dle horse was pinned under
neath the flattened timbers
of a large barn for about an
hour. Hous'ton, whose car was
in use elsewhere, found that
his telephone was out of or
der and he walked about a
mile to the Rolland Smith
farm to get help and equip
ment for freeing the horse.
The animal appeared to have
internal injuries, but is re
covering. The barn was one of
the old landmarks of the val
ley, built more than 60 years
ago for Arthur Kleinhammer
who now lives in Ashland
Equipment Damaged
Major pieces of farm equip
ment, including a hay chop
per, corn planter, and eleva
tor were damaged under the
metal roof of a sheep barn
that was shifted from its base
at the Straube ranch. A large
hay barn also was flattened,
and a house sheltering weigh
ing scales '.vas blown down.
A barn at the former Louis
Crammer ranch, now owned
by Wayne Rcavis of Medford,
was flattened, the wind de
positing the metal roofing
across the highway some dis
tance away. Metal roofing
also was carried across the
highway at the Fred West
dairy, where a loading shed
was blown to bits around the
barnyard.
A new machine shed with
metal roofing was . destroyed
at a ranch near Ruch owned
by J. J. Ossenbrugge of Med
ford. A shed on a barn at
the George Redhead ranch
was twisted out of shape and
had to be torn down. Most
of the barns had been re
roofed recently.
A truck belonging to Mrs.
Lillian Hukill was damaged
by a falling tree a few min
utes after Mrs. Hukill had
been in the truck attempting
to start the motor.
A large number of falling
trees damaged several tables,
a fire piece, and a bridge
scross an irrigation ditch at
McKee park. In most in
stances, farmers are leaving
their damaged barns for the
present in order to get crops
planted.

Personally
Speaking
By JOHN STAFFORD
To whom it may concern:
The yellow kite in the tree
next to the road to Roxy Ann
park Sunday afternoon was
mine. The person in the tree
was me. And yes, I did man
age to free the kite from the
branches.
I guess some people never
grow up. At 23, I find myself
returning to childhood pas
times on occasion. Kites have
always held a special place in
my heart, along with yo yo's.
My mother tell me it is here
ditary. The kite and yo yo
bug come from my father.
He tells a story about one
of the saddest moments in his
life. He was working for a
Detroit area newspaper many
years ago. Detroit was the
scene of a national yo yo tour
nament and he volunteered to
report the event. The yo yo
enthusiasts were so pleased
with his coverage that they
gave him several yo yos.
Some were of the whistling
variety, some spun circles of
flames and others were run-of-the-mill
yo yos. However,
his favorite was a diamond
studded job.
He has a gleam in his eye
as he recalls coming home
from a day at the office and
operating a couple of yo yos.
for relaxation. This went on
for some time. There was only
one problem. The sight of yo
yos merrily bobbing up and
down drove my mother to the
breaking point. She finally
put her foot down and issued
an ultimatum. "The yo yos
go or I do." This was a strong
statement which good old dad
took with a grain of salt.
Finally he came home from
the office one day and there
wasn't a yo yo in sight. Ques
tioning revealed they had all
been reduced to ashes in the
furnace. He was crushed.
When we entered a Med
ford super market Sunday
we couldn't pass up pur
chasing a kite. I took about
an hour lo assemble it ac
cording to directions. It was
a masterpiece. There wasn't
much wind in the valley so
we enlisted the aid of a
friend and drove to Roxy
Ann park. There wasn't
much wind there either.
This observation came aft
er running up and down
hills towing the kite.. The
faster we ran, .the higher
the kite went. When we
topped running the kite
stopped ascending and came
floating down.
. ...
The nice part of being an
adult is that Rube Goldberg
ideas are developed on a high
er level. This was the case
when we decided that by rid
ing on the trunk of the car
while it was going about 20
miles per hour we could pos
sibly raise the kite to an alti
tude where there was a strong
wind. Our friend drove. His
small son eyed us dubiously.
Sure enough, as we drove up
the road the kite started to
respond by rising at a rapid
rate. Progress was halted mo
mentarily when we discov
ered some power lines were
in our path.
We let the kite down and
tried again after passing the
wires. He had about 400 feet
of string out when a large tree
halted progress. The string
didn't make it past the tree.
Neither did the kite. It took
some ingenious scheming to
retrieve it. Our next try also
met disaster in the form of an
other tree.
The kite was saved again.
It is now safely stored in the
quiet confines of the family
laundry room, awaiting a
strong wind.
...
People never cease to
amaxe us. An article sub
mitted by Katherine Chap
man, Hornbrook correspon
dent, makes us wonder just
what motivates some indi
viduals. Portions of the ar
ticle follow:

complete idiocy lei be seen

Someone, unknown at
the present lime, had
thrown an old lire, appar
ently saturated with an in
flammable liquid, at the
base of the tall old pine tree
that stands as a lone
sentinel across the road
from the cemetery. In a
matter of seconds, flames
leaped the length of the
pitch-covered trunk to the
lower branches.
Quick action on the part
of the firemen saved the
tree from destruction. Bui
the stalely old landmark
will bear always its black

to someone's utter stupid

flared up, a car was seen
pausing momentarily near
the tree, and then turning
around and going back

PTSA Functions
Explained by
Grants Pass Unit
Grants Pass - The executive
board of the Grants Pass High
school PTSA had as its guest
at a recent luncheon meeting
Mrs. Jean Schmitt, member
ship chairman of the Crater
High school PTA.
She was interested in con
tacting several high schools
who have PTSA's in opera
tion. The Crater unit is inter
ested in the possibility of en
couraging students at the high
school to become a part of
the membership. Frank Thom
as, Grants Pass High school
principal, explained how sec
tional meetings of the PTSA
are planned. From the point
of view of a school adminis
trator, he felt that this system
of devoting one meeting each
year to the specific problems
of each year of high school
had resulted in better contact
with the parents. As program
chairman of the unit, he
works with the coordinators of
each year to plan the sectional
meetings and organizes a
panel to speak and discuss
problems pertaining to that
year.
Talent Show
After much discussion
among the 10 board members
it was decided that members
of the PTSA will prepare and
sell home-made candy at the
talent show to be given by the
senior class of the high school
on March 10 at the Memorial
gym. Members will be con
tacted by phone to ask for
donations of candy or ingre
dients for making candy and
in this project Mrs. Harriet
Suhr and Mrs. Hazel Govrcau,
co-chairmen of ways and
means, will work with Mrs.
Marge Rivers, Mrs. Pat Vor
berg, and Mrs. Dorothy Bur
nelte, sophomore, junior and
senior co-ordinators.
Mrs. Boyd Hlxon, Josephine
county council president,
spoke about the day she spent
at the legislature together
with a group of thirteen wo
men from various PTA units
in Josephine coimty. They
attended several legislative
discussions, including several
committee meetings, with par
ticular attention being paid
to those bills being prepared
for presentation to the legisla
tors which pertain lo educa
tion. The group was taken by
Mrs. Sidney Bazett, wife of
the newly elected legislator
from Josephine county, to the
home of Mrs. Mark Hatfield
where they were her guests
for afternoon tea.
The next regular meeting
of the PTSA will be on March
7 and it will be a senior sec
tional meeting. Mrs. R. J.
Millemann, president, remind
ed the group that all mem
bers should try to' attend,
since some general unit busi
ness would be conducted, in
cluding reading and consider
ing the reports tL a by-laws
committee which recommends
several changes in unit by
laws, and the report of the
nominating committee with
its slate of officers for next
year.
coming from downtown and
repeating iht maneuver of
the original car. Wat it the
person responsible for the
fire coming to view the re
suits of his handiwork?
Pride must have filled his
breast.
One day last week we had
to park some distance from
the M.T. office. There were
no parking meters in the area.
It was early in the morning
and sleep filled our eyes,
causing us, unintentionally, to
take more than one parking
space.
When we were through for
the day and went to retrieve
the car, there was a little
printed message on the wind
shield. It read as follows:
"Thanks to you I had to
park three blocks away. I
hope you're happy you stu
pid, inconsiderate moron."

Special Meeting Held for Hearing
Complaints About Hornbrook School
Hornbrook-The Hornbrook
school system was criticized
at a special meeting called to
hear complaints about school
management last week.
A school trustee allegedly
said he had been told by Yre
ka High school faculty mem
bers that Hornbrook .children
entering high school were be
low average. He went on lo
say that he thought a better
man could be found to replace
principal Harley Baker.
These charges were hotly
disputed by many Hornbrook
residents. They supported Ba
ker's management of the
school by complimenting him
on the discipline he maintains.
Baker introduced Yreka
High school superintendent
Tom Preece and high school
principal Steven Pueyo. They
said a review had been made
of 21 Hornbrook youngsters
entering the high school dur
ing the past three years.
Preece said the community
should be proud of the stu
dents. Of the group, only one
is not achieving his capacity,
Preece indicated. He went on
to say that some arc doing
work beyond what is expect
ed of them.
Well Prepared
Pueyo said the students are
prepared as well as they are
expected to be and are equal
to those from other schools.
A discussion about teaching
methods and text books used
followed. Baker and Preece
outlined the state series of
text books used. Preece said
the state books must be used
in all schools.
The value of sports in the
school program was discussed.
A few present indicated they
fell too much emphasis was
being placed on sports in the
school program. Baker said
the physical education pro
gram does not use up any
regular lesson time and only
children who keep up their
grades are allowed to partici
pate. Several parents compli
mented Baker on developing
a sports program and remind
ed parents that before Baker
came to Hornbrook, the chil
dren had no place to play any
games.
