WEDNESDAY, MAY 3. 1961 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OPEGON Personally Speaking By JOHN STAFFORD Llvlnc !n Oregon Is refresh ' lng. The people are friendly, the country is beautiful with bountiful natural resources and the climate is mild (com pared to the icy blasts back where we came from). In addition, politics are as frantic as a frog on a free way. Just look at a story in Sunday's Mail Tribune. Ac cording to the story, most of Gov.' Mark Hatfield's govern ment reorganization proposals have been killed. However, one proposal calling for local mental health clinics, was still alive, having passed the House. When the story was written, the bill was being considered by the Senate State and Federal Affairs commit tee.. -Here is where things be- j Awards Presented At FFA Banquet , "Yreka Curtis Harding was . awarded the' California Bank ' er's association award as the i outstanding' Yreka chapter ' Future Farmer of America ! recently.

Rural Reflections Br MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley-The urge to go about business as usual no matter what happens was observed strongly inherent in a humming bird sitting on her creamy white eggs. Her nest, built in an oak tree from gray moss covering the tree, was expertly blended with the sur roundings. The nest hung over some one's caMri that was being re paired, Hammer and saw did not bother her. Neither did the carpenter's whistle nor the roar of his chain saw. Be sides this, the wind trounced her up and down, but she staunchly went on with her sitting, bent on knowing the Joys of a family before long. Her courage was observed by Christine Harr. A number . of things have bothered Janet Gricr since a zealous Grange ' master and news correspondent teamed up 10 puoncize me u range conclusion that Janet and her husband were the outstand ing young Grange couple, "There must be other young people of the community doing special things," Janet said. "We didn't know all this was going to happen. I just live from day to day doing what I can," Janet said a little plaintively. "We haven't lived here very long, cither." She says she is only a mem ber of the youth committee, and that Ann Offenbacher is chairman of the group. She said she was barely aware of what was afoot when she passed out family statistics, for her tiny one, Cynthia, was very 111 at the time and re quired almost all of her at- tnnttnn , , vn However It may be, It would seem that could the re , liable contest Judges know the humble attitude of Janet and Martin Grler, they might well add a number of gold stars to their record sheet.

Clarence Barton, Coquille Democrat, declared there would be "bloodletting" in the legislature if the Sen ate stalled on the bill. Thus, Barton favored the Hatfield proposal. Then the story went on to say that Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. "is active ly working against the bill." Republican Appling was ap parently opposing Republican Hatfield. Ideally' there Is nothing ' wrong with this. Politicians are elected to stand on their own two feet and oppose a measure if they don't think it's right. It's the democratic principle. Howeyer, back in Michigan where I come from, such a practice Is frowned Upon. Also frowned upon in Michigan (alias, the "problem state") is the idea of Demo crat Barton favoring Republi can Hatfield's proposal. If he were in the Michigan legisla ture, Barton would be ordered to stand In a corner for five hours. And Appling wouldn't be able to enter a smoke filled room full of Republicans for five months. ;, , -. ; . It will take many more in cidents of this nature to brand both men as "mavericks," the current political nickname. However, it does illustrate a refreshing point for an out sider. , . Some politicians aren't con trolled by strings stretching irom party headquarters, A couple of years ago Mich igan was financially strapped. In a marathon session the leg islature accomplished nothing more than passing a sales tax hike later ruled unconstitu tional. Chief stumbling block was a 55 to 55 split In the House, Whenever a major pro posal came to a vote, party loyalty was rallied and a tie vote resulted. Some legisla tors even rose from sick beds to insure the deadlock. Most noblel But most frustrating for Michigan citizens- who were shelling out money for expenses incurred in the pro longed session. ' Party squabbles in Michi gan are heated, as they are in Oregon. The difference is that Oregon politicians aren't afraid to buck the party on occasion, as .the Barton-Appling - Hatfield affair illus trates. .. ! . We're rapidly learning ihat Oregonians, and Jack son county residents in par , tlcular, are about as strong willed as Missouri mules. Not long ago we attended a , meeting in Eagle Point be tween people concerned about the proposed Medford Corporation logging road and Medco officials. . '. . The discussion got around to whether Medco could legally convert the road from use by a railroad to use by logging trucks. A Medco offi cial recalled an experience in Coos county where a logging company proposed a similar project. He said the Incident reached a court which ruled In favor of the company; Later he again referred to the incident by saying that all he knew was "what hap pened in Coos county." To which a local citizen arose and said, "That may have happened in Coos county, but this is Jackson county. The support rallied so fr.r against the logging road gives an insight to native spirit, And the organized opposition to establishing a wrecking yard in the Talent area is further evidence. a . Last Friday night the wife and I attended a musical play presented by Mc Loughlin Junior High school students entitled "CI o b d New ." Apparently the quality of the annual Mc Loughlin production is well known, for there were over 1,000 people present, a a The participants were 225 eighth and ninth graders who had been rehearsing for seven weeks. Following the play, Jack Henry, dramatic director, said he was generally pleased -with the performance, Henry went on to tell us the purpose of the event is to teach team work and cooperation. The presentation was carried out without a hitch, so apparent ly the purpose was realized, Regional Mews John Stafford, Regional Editor - Corrpondents: Upptr Applegate Valley Mauae Ziegler Lower Applegate Valley Jeanette Head; Butte Fall Mary Jo Hurri; Centra) Point Dolores Armstrong and Flo Vincent; Kagle Point Dottle Harbison; Gold Hill-Sami Valley Mary Kell; Grnndvlew-Lone Pine Dot Simmons; Happy Camp Hazel X)avls, Betty Reedy; Hornbrook Katherine Chapman; Illinois Valley Katherine Scott; Jacksonville Atte Hoiklm; McLeod Caroline Harding; Murphy R5n.

Malone of San Diego. Steve Reeves, a son of Mrs. Malone, is associated with the ranch. , Kendall reserved 240 acres of the Barr place which he expects to sell for homesites when the proposed flood con trol dam is constructed in the area. , Jacksonville - The Jackson ville City council discussed feasibility of installing a traf fic radar system at its meet ing last night. A representative from a traffic radar system company was present and said the cost of the system could be paid from violations detected. Mayor E. O. Graham said if the proposed system was installed, it should be for the purpose of c .ntrolling traffic rather than for producing revenue. v Mrs. Ruth Walker said she was in favor of controlling traffic, however, not at the expense of having Jackson ville branded as a speed trap. She pointed out that if the radar system was to be effec tive, It possibly would be nec essary to hire a part time po liceman for night hours, to assist Police Chief Frank Carter. Councilman George Brewer asked if arrests made by using the radar would hold up in court. It was point ed out that radar is accepted as evidence by courts in most states. In other action, the council heard a first and second read ing of an ordinance prescrib ing methods of making public improvements and collection of assessments for improve ments. The ordinance also pre scribes methods for determin ing1 amounts of special assess ments for improvements. Councilman Don Wendt, asked council members to Check the intersection of G and Academy sts. Property owners near the intersection have been complaining that a hazardous traffic condition exists there, he said, The mat ter was referred to the street committee.' They will give a report at the next meeting. Brewer made a motion that the city not sell the old city fire truck for an indefinite period.
