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

is where things be-

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.

came interesting for a new
comer. Rep. 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,

Applegate Valley
Ranches Purchased
Applegate Valley - Sale of
212 acres of ranch property
in Upper Applegate has been
announced by , Clinton' D
Kendall, owner of Kirtland
farm at Central Point.
In a transaction just com
pleted, Kendall sold a 50-acre
farm, the former Culy ranch,
to Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Mcri
ckel of Palo Alto, Calif. Fifty
head of Hereford cattle and
range rights were included in
the sale. The family will ar
rive in June to take posession.
Mcrickel was a stock brok
er in Palo Alto, and the
couple have two sons and a
daughter of school age.
Earlier in the year Kendall
sold a 162-acre plot of the
former Barr ranch to Mr. and
Mrs. E. A. 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. Brewer said the truck
