NOTES FROM A
TRAVELING REPORTER
Editor's note: Personally
Speaking does not want to
compete with travel notes
appearing elsewhere in the
Mail Tribune. However, the
fact is we did take a trip
last week and feel compel
led to review a bright spot.
This will be the first and
last account of our travels.
Horse racing has never held
a favorite spot in our heart.
However, it may In the future.
For you see, the wife was
brought up with a nag In the
back yard and has a strong
love for what she calls "Beau
tiful animals." Her horse was
named Prince. Good old Prince
Is probably long gone now.
As a matter of fact, whenever
the Mrs. sees a jar of glue,
she gets a tearful look in her
eyes.
Well, to make a long story
short, we decided that her
love for horses should be sat
isfied last week by watching
the horse races at San Fran
cisco's Golden Gate race track.
Now people who bet on
horses are classed in two cate
gories. The poor and the very
poor. We still had a few bucks
in our pocket when we ar
rived at the track, so we were
probably in the poor classifi
cation. After paying close to
$3 just to get in the gate, we
neared the very poor level.
What followed needs some ex
planation.
There are thousands of
theories on betting horses.
Some people figure the good
jockeys must be on the best
horses. This isn't always the
case, as we discovered.
Johnny Longden, who has
ridden more winners than
there are liver pills, was up
on Fine Print in the third
race. The Golden Gate Han
dicap, written by Ed Ro
mero, said about Fine Print.
"Not to be counted out."
Well, there were nine horses
racing six furlongs. Fine
Print charged out of the
starling gate like someone
had whispered something
about a glue factory in his
ear. His ears were laid back
and his nose was high in
the air as he scented vic
tory. This was most discon
certing to Stafford because
he's seen too many early
leaders bite the dust at the
finish line.
With Johnny Longden up,
however, It figured that things
must be in good hands. After
all, Longden had ridden 5,ouu
winers. The horse and jockey
combination was a mismatch,
however, as Fine Print faded
in the stretch and finished
next to last. Longden was sub
jected to a few unkind words
from unhappy spectators toi-i
lowing the race. No doubt he '
has heard these sweet noth
ings before.
so we were aown s. t-nite
you lose, you've got to bet
again just to get your money
back. So with this in mind,
we deserted the "good jockey"
theory.
Next came what we have
elected to call the "consensus"
theory. One of the dally pa
pers carries a racing page
which has the first three
choices of eight so-called ex
perts for each race. We soy i
so-called experts because we
suspect they are this in title
only. Otherwise, they wouldn't
be picking horses for news
papers. They would be rich.
Again relying on Ed Ro
mero, we noted that he listed
Carmen's Reward as the fa
vorite in the fourth. Five oth
er experts picked the horse
to win. Finguring that they
couldn't all be wrong, we put
two bucks on Carmen's nose
to show. Carmen broke out of
the gate in the lead and went
the mile like a shot, winning
easily.
We got our two bucks
back, . plus 80 cents. This
success called for another
wager. More Ability was the
consensus in the fifth. So
we wagered $2 for him to
place. Well, our luck was
running at a feverish pitch
by this time, and More Abil
ity won going away. We
were $2.80 ahead.
Fay's Night Out was the
consensus pick in the sixth. 1
We bet $2 for Fay to place, j
And si 're enough - she made

Bolder wagers were defi

seventh. However, one picked
Park Royal. The Stafford the
ory wns developed at this
point. Park Royal was ourl
pick for first, and won handl-l

At this point, we were ready
to leave. However, we stayed
for one more race. In the San

Another horse. Sea Orbit,
was picked for second by six
experts. This was the Stafford
pick. Four-and-Twenty led
coming down the home
stretch. Then Sea Orbit made
a bid, coming from fourth
place, and won at the wire.
We left the park as win
ners. A few observations about
horse racing:
1. A day at the races has
no doubt destroyed many
a home along with many a
bank roll.
2. T h e r e is no system
that works consistently in
belting the nags.
3. People who can least
afford it are continual Da-
irons of race tracks.
4. Race tracks are n o t
places to take small chil
dren; however, there are
scores of them running
around unattended.
5. Betting is a sickness,
just as is alcoholism.

Eagle Point PTA
Opposed to Medco
Logging Road
Eagle Point Mrs. Darrel
Stanley was unanimously
elected president of the Eagle
Point PTA for the 1961-62
school year at the organiza
tion's meeting last night.
Other officers elected were
Mrs. Vernon (Eileen) Rags
dale, first vice president; Mrs.
Otis (Roberta) Hill, teacher
vice president; Mrs." Murray
(Pearl) Bartling, secretary;
Mrs. Elbert (Betty) Hefley,
treasurer; and Mrs. Bennie
(Marvel) Heffley, historian.
Members voted to sign a
resolution presented by the
Jackson County Home Owners
Protective association oppos
ing the conversion of the pres
ent Medford corporation rail
road into a logging truck road.
The resolution will be for
warded to the Medco officials
before the April 5 company
board of directors meeting. It
was prepared by Ben Day,
association attorney, and out
lines reasons for opposing the
possible conversion.
840 Students
According to statistics pre
sented by Mrs. Burton Jen
sen, association chairman,
there are seven Eagle Point
school buses that will cross
the proposed road twice a day.
This means 840 students will
cross the road daily, she said.
The present regulations would
give trucks on the Medco road
the right of way over public
vehicles, she indicated. Dur
ing foggy weather in particu
lar this would create a danger
to anyone riding the buses,
Mrs. Jensen said.
In answer to questions, Mrs.
Jensen said the association
was told it would cost ap
proximately $2 million to con
struct the logging road. It
would save the company about
$50,000 a year, she said. It
would take nearly 40 years to
pay for It, she stated.
Laurence Tweedy of the
Jackson County Juvenile De
partment and detention
home spoke on policies and
needs of the department at
present, There is a ratio of
four boys to one girl handled
in the home at present, he
said. Tweedy explained the
need and interest shown in
several of the service groups
for a Forest Service Camp.
This could handle approxi
mately 30 boys. It should have
school facilities, a shop where
the boys could build tables
and benches for parks, garden
space and other facilities,
Tweedy said
There Is a possibility state
and federal aid could be ob-
talned for such a program,

Hunting Problems
Considered at
Aoplegate
Applegate - Members of
the state game commission
and area law enforcement
agencies met with more than
60 Aoplegate area residents
recently to consider problems
connected with deer hunting
in the area.
Major complaints were reg
istered against careless and
reckless hunters during the
regular deer season and ex
tended season. Cases of hunt
ers shooting across the Apple
gate river damaging property
and livestock were cited by
residents. Hunters shootfig
out of cars also was men
tioned. One farmer said that some
one is going to get shot if con
trol over hunters wasn't tight
ened. He said he keeps his
children In the house during
the eight day extended season.
"Hunters don't even care If
they shoot out of a car parked
In front of my house," a farm
er commented.
The November hunting sea
son is held to control the
resident deer population, Dave
Luman, state biologist, said.
He said the hunters have 89
no- cent success in the Apple
gate hunting unit. However,
he mentioned that a large part
of the kills were made during
the extended season.
"The problem Is unfortun
ate," Luman said. "We can
regulate the deer season but
we can't regulate the hunt
ers." He was asked why Oregon
doesn't adopt an any deer
hunt for the entire season
3 Candidates for

Meeting
'We're selling recreation,"
Luman said. He said if the
whole hunting season were
made either sex, deer hunting
would lose some of Its appeal.
"The either sex season
would put pressure on hunt
ing numbers. Ranches would
be overrun with hunters," he
commented. He pointed out
that an either sex season was
tried at Silver lake in eastern
Oregon with little success.
In answer to a question as
to whether the extended ei
ther sex season was held to
obtain additional revenue, Jim
Vaughn, regional game com
mission supervisor, said it
wasn't. "The extended season
is to use up unfilled deer
tags," he said.
Vaughn urged the group to
send a representative to a
state game commission meet
ing in Portland to present
problems.
"Deer are a crop and should
be harvested by the people of
Oregon," Vaughn remarked.
Frank Baum, state police
officer, assured residents that
if they file complaints against
hunters, the police would
serve a warrant.
In a straw vote, the major
ity opposed the extended deer
season.
