I "1 WEDNESDAY. APRIL 11, 1962 MEDrOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEBTOKB, eWSMI Regional Roundup by Cleva Twllchell Mall Tribune Regional Editor We're beginning to' get i few items from the Wilder-ville-Wonder area in Joesphine county. Our friend over there, Genevieve Briggs, asked if she could send in some news stories in order to gain some writer's disci pline. Although I realized that such a situation might be a case of the blind leading the blind, I agreed to go ahead with it. Mrs. Briggs is doing pretty well. She has at least grasped one of the important fundamentals in news writing: the art of being concise (something that some of my other correspondents occasionally need to be reminded of!). Take for example the following item I received from Mrs. Briggs yesterday: "Wonder Mrs. John Jacobs is the new president of the Wlldervllle PTA. Miss Dariene Jacobs broke her toe." Admittedly, this item is a little confusing, in that we are not sure whether Mrs. Jacobs is the new president because of the fact that Miss Jacobs (possibly the former president) broke her toe and was therefor unable to continue In office, or whether Miss Jacobs is Mrs, Jacob's daughter and the fact that she broke her toe recently was just added on as an interesting family item. I have written Mrs. Briggs to ask for a clarification on that point. The fact remains, however, that other writers might have taken two to three pages to cover the same Itory or stories that Mrs. Briggs has summarized in two sentences. She's really got some discipline! Seriously, there are some interesting news Items in the Wilderville and Wonder area. Here are a few of them: "Wonder Floyd Wcldon, owner of the Weldon Wrecking company has gone to Los Angeles for the opening of the baseball season. Weldon says there has been a marked increase in the . building business since spring arrived. David Weldon accompanied his father on the trip. ' "Wilderville Chihuahua Haven has been chosen as the name of the kennels here owned by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Miggctt. They are expanding their kennels and now have 20 chihuahuas of the deer and coby type and plan on adding blacks and tans. "Wilderville Mrs. Etta Lowden is in Sacred Heart hospital with a fractured hip. Mrs. Lowden is the widow of Issac Lowden, the last of the stage coach drivers from Grants Pass to Wilderville . . . Stanley Glen is up and about again after a severe heart attack . . . Mrs. John Bagwell is home after major surgery at Josephine Gen eral hospital. She suffered a bad fall in the snow this winter . . ., Mrs. Jim Deveny is at home after major surgery at Travis Air Force Base hospital in California." The Protptct Fira Truck is Okay Some time ago we reported that the fire truck at Prospect was out of commission and could not be count ed upon to respond to fire alarms. Now Velda Barr, our Prospect correspondent, reports that the truck is running and has been called out to extinguish a few grass fires. Fresh Air on the Airwavas Back In January when we were discussing "air pollution and radio programming," I wished out loud that a good music radio station would oome to the valley. It Is with pleasure that I report that one has. Although KSHA (860 on the dial) docs not appear to be playing much classical music, it is presenting some pleasant instrumental sounds that are soothing to tha ear. It will do very nicely. Josephine County Newt Governor Candidate To Address County Demos At Thursday Grants Pass State Senator Waller J. Pearson, candidate for governor, will be the guest speaker at the Democratic Central Committee meeting Thursday. It will be held In the Woman's auditorium with a potluck dinner at 7 p.m. County Chairman Cliff Driscoll was pleased to report that Josephine County Demo crats were represented by all delegates elected at the con vention in Salem recently.
