Many Outdoor Activities May Be
Combined in One Week End Trip
Among exhibits at the Cra
ter' Lions Sportsfair and Home
and Garden show will be one
of ehlorination-dechlorination
equipment for purification of
water.
This is a new service in
southern Oregon. The water'
correction booth will be spon
sored by Chuck and Gene Cog
gins of Chuck's Pump service.
The Coggins pointed out
"that well water contamination
by sewage wastes is becoming
a serious threat throughout
the county.
One solution to contamina
tion and similar problems such
as water from lakes and farm
ponds, sulphur elimination,
and chlorination of swimming
pools is through installation
of an automatic ehlorination
dechlorination and water puri
fier, which can make any
water available for drinking
purposes. v
A sample unit for testing
water for mineral, , acids, and
turbulents will be demonstrat
ed on any sample" of water
brought to the Home show
display.

There has been in recent
years an increasing Interest
in sports activities in which"
the family may participate.
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.
Equipment of all kinds for
these events is improving con-
stantly, and additional equip-
ment is being developed to
help the participant be safe
and more fully enjoy his activ- -ity.
Facilities Being Developed

throughout southern' Oregon
and northern California are

Skin-Diving Now
Becoming Popular
Skin diving is' becoming
more popular in this area, and
more women are participating
in skin diving classes at the
YMCA. .,
In the Jackson county sher
iff's department six deputies
are experienced skin divers.
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. A
face musk and a pair of flip
pers is all some need for brief
underwater excursions. How
ever Scuba divers require an
nir tank and valve, a good
pair of flippers, a "wet suit"
or sponge rubber suit, and
' perhaps depth gauges and a
compass. Along with this
could be added underwater
lights and various working
equipment.
creasingly rapid rate to han
dle the demand of the public.
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. . They will provide
ideas for those who want to
become interested in some ac
tivity, and they will display
. the most recent equipment
and changes in some of the
more popular activities.
If an individual doesn't find
something he is interested in
at the Sportsfair, sporting
goods outlets in.southern Ore
gon and northern California
can provide many other ideas,
both for indoor and outdoor
activities.
