And many of the activities may be tied together. Camping trips may be com bined into fishing trips, skin diving, water skiing, hiking, swimming, boating, mountain climbing, hunting, or just re laxing in one of the many camping sites.

They include Sheriff Joe Walsh, Sgt. Veryl Vannoose, . Investigator Lee Rice, Bill Rice, John O'Hara and Kay Vaughn. Walsh feels that skin diving is an important auxilary func tion of the department. Noting that skin diving is t being practiced more in Jack son county waters, the sheriff warned that spear fishing is . illegal. Oregon state game laws restrict fishermen to a hook and line for sport fish ing. ; Like mnny hobbies, skin diving involves a minimum or "the sky's the limit" cost.

The facilities are being de veloped not only by public agencies such as the county, forest service and bureau of land management, but also by jHvate individuals. One of the most recent ad ditions to facilities in this area is Howard Prairie lake,' and the increased size of Emi grant lake, where demand will require increasing recre ational facilities for many years. " These lakes, along with Fish lake, Fourmile lake, Squaw lake, other private lakes, and thousands of small lakes in wild and wilderness areas, as well as area rivers, provide locations for almost all types of outdoor summer sports. Winter Sports Locations Some of these facilities pro vide locations for winter sports, which are being de veloped with on increasingn tcrest. , .,..) Development of nummer sports areas, or increasing the size of those already available, brings about problems which require some regulation. But without the regulations, ac tivities at many of the area lakes and rivers would be chaotic and extremely danger ous. Safety and courtesy in any sports or outdoor activity is constantly stressed so all those participating may enjoy what they are doing. Acci dents will occur, but observa tion of basic safety factors will prevent most accidents. Equipment To Be Displayed This year's Crater Lions - club sponsored Sportsfair, which also will include a ' Home and Garden section, will display equipment used in many outdoor sporting events. .
