Mobile Homes
Become Popular
BRINGS IN TROUT Karen Jossy, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Earle Jossy, Eagle Point,
brings in a rainbow trout while Mrs. John
Bohnert slips a net under it at Fish lake
last Sunday. Thousands of southern Oregon
residents find fishing a relaxing sport, and
plump trout are considered a table delicacy
by many. Also pictured are John Bohnert,

hidden by Mrs. Bohnert. -
Increasing in popularity
throughout the country is the
uee of mobile homes, and
southern Oregon and north- '
ern California is not without
its share of the interest.'
This was noted recently at
an open house at Walker the
Weeper's on South Riverside
ave., Medford, when an esti
mated 3,000 people inspected
several types of mobile homes.
Mobile homes are available
in all sizes, ranging from those
used for permanent fyomes in
attractive, especially ton
structed parks, to camping
trailers for a week end in the
mountains. ;
Many of the mobile homes
used as permanent residences
require special handling when
they are moved over the high
ways, and Specialized convoy
companies have been formed
to move the homes. Permits
are required in Oregon before
the mobile homes can be
moved because of their width
and length.
These homes provide com
fortable living quarters with
attractive interior decorating
and furniture, including, in
some cases, built-in refrigera
tors. Many of them feature
carpeted floors in all but the
kitchen area and bath.
In many parks where mo
bile homes are used as a per
manent residence, there are
community laundry facilities,
swimming pools, play areas
for children, sanitary facili
ties connected to the home,
and electricity. .
Probably the most popular
of the mobile homes is the
smaller type suitable for va
cationists or week end camp
ers. There is a variety of such
trailers, including the locally
produced Holiday House.
Although not elaborate, the
"haul-it-yourself" trailer pro
vides sufficient room and
comfort for vacation trips and
week ends in the nearby
.campgrounds.
Mobile homes of all sizes
will be displayed, and open to
the public, at the Sportsfair
and Home and Garden show
at the. Medford armory
grounds May 5, 4 and 7.
Sheriff's Office Archery Exhibit Planned at Fair
To Check on Boat
Safety Equipment
Required marine safety'
equipment is the chief con
cern of the sheriff's boat pa
trol, according to Sheriff Joe
Walsh.
This includes such life-saving
devices as life preservers
for eaclfboat, occupant, fire
extinguishers, Vghts for boats
operated during night or early
morning hours, and other
equipment stipulated in the
new Oregon marine . boating
laws.
Deputies, assisted by mem
bers of the Rogue Aqua Ski
club, will check boat opera
tions closely, Walsh said.
"We , had several cases of
too much motor for the boat,"
.the sheriff commented. "This
caused several upsets last sea
son. Boat operators should be
come familiar with the max-
imum power needed to oper
ate a boat safely. Anything
more than that will cause the
boat to capsize."
Receivti Complaints
Walsh said several skin
divers have complained that
boaters do not recognize the
diver's flag. This is a. red
flag with a white diagonal
stripe. This Is either flown
from a boat or a float when
a diver is swimming under
water . in a particular spot.
Boaters should stay clear of
the area, Walsh said.
Walsh also noted that all
boating accidents involving
property damage or injuries
must be reported to the sher
iff's office or directly to the
state marine board in Salem

Walsh said.
Archery, a sport in which .
probably too few people par
: ticipate, will be represented "
at the Crater Lions Sportsfair
and Home and Garden show
at the Medford armory
grounds.
The Savage Archers, a
southern Oregon club of about
28 members, mostly husband
and wife members, plan a dis
play of archery equipment
and demonstrations.
Members of the club keep '
in shape by holding weekly
shoots, and both indoor and
outdoor tournaments with en
trants coming from as far as .
100 miles or more.
Members of the Savage
Archers have at different
times, won many ribbons and
awards at various tourna
ments in southern Oregon and
northern California. Recently,
the club sponsored a novelty
shoot at its outdoor range on
the Ashland Mine rd.
One of the largest archery
shoots in this area is planned
the week end of July 1 and 2,
when about 350 archers from
Oregon, Washington and Ida
ho are expected to participate
in a trail shoot at the Lake of
the Woods.
