WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18. 19S2 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Beall Relatives Ask Part of Be Declared Void The four nephews and niece of the late Robert Vinton Beall. 1253 Beall lane, Central Point, have filed a complaint in Jackson county circuit court to have part of Beall's will declared void. According to the will, filed for probate here shortly after Beall's death Oct. 7, 1961, the bulk of the estate was left to the board of regents of the University of Oregon for the erection of a memorial dedi cated to the pioneer Oregon women. , The will states that the term "pioneer" means those women who settled in Oregon prior to 1860. The gift would be in memory of his mother, Marian Riddle Beall, who set tled with her husband on a Homestead Donation land claim on Beall lane in 1852. Robert Beall was a retired photographer and rancher. Valued at $150,000 The Beall estate last year was valued at approximately 5150,000 which the university would receive. In the complaint filed by Frederick, Herbert, Robert and Virgil Strang, and Helen Strang Holmes, they charge that since 1929 there has not been a board of regents for the university by a state board of higher education. The complaint, filed against the U.S. National Bank of Portland, executor for the es tate, charges that the state board of higher education claims an interest in the es tate while the five nephews and niece are the only sur vivor decedants and should be the sole and only heirs. In December, Dr. Arthur Flemming, president of the university, said that the mon ey would be turned over to the university's development fund. He thought that the terms of the will could be fulfilled with the construction of a multi-purpose building which would not only help solve the- university's space problem, but would serve as a useful memorial to Oregon's pioneer women. SCHOOL NEWS mi Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS (Regittei and Tribune Syndicate 19621 Ha Has Black, Leather Jacket and He Pinches He wears a shiny, black, leathery jacket and a sardonic grin on his face. He possesses a pugnacious disposition and in various other ways could be considered a juvenile or an adult delinquent. He has many of the other necessary qualifications, too. The only requisite he lacks is a motorcycle. When this char actor wants to go somewhere, he flies. Like a true delinquent he carries on his activities at night. He belongs to a gang, and the members are many. He is the pcople-pincher,. The farm boy knew him well, and used to frighten small girls with him. This character, cither dark brown or black is commonly known as the "pinching bug;" usual ly abbreviated to just plain "pinch bug." This beetle, one of the stag beetle family, acquired his reputation because of his fer ocious appearance. The male is the one that does the pinch ing, for it is he who is equip ped with long, sharp and toothed mandibles, usually called horns. In actual practice the long mandibles appear to serve mainly as fighting tools as a couple of male pinching bugs derive a great deal of pleasure in fighting one another. Vicious Deierminalion Although they attack with a vicious determination in a contest that may go on for an hour or more, neither ever seems to be injured. When they run out of steam, their anger seems to cool, and each gives up the battle and with out a backward glance goes his separate way. The female, devoid of horns Emergency Board Approves Funds To Fight- Grasshoppers Salem - JPI - The State Emergency Board has author ized up to $40,000 for grass hopper control this spring in Grant and Harney counties, providing matching amounts can be raised locally. The approval came after considerable testimony about the worst grasshopper threat in years, with more than 300 million grasshopper eggs near ing the hatching stage. Board Impressed Robert Emery of Corvallis, an entomologist from Oregon State university, Impressed the board by dumping several pounds of infested Harney county sod on the board con ference table. On motion of State Rep. Clarence Barton (D-Coquille) the board earmarked up to $25,000 for Grant county and up to $15,000 for Harnoy. the infestation Is not con sidered as heavy in those areas. The board deferred action again on Ally. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton's request for $10,495 to hire a second full time at torney in the Oregon Justice department's Portland office. State Rop. Leon Davis (R Hillsboro) asked for a check to see if any state agencies in Portland thai operate with dedicated funds can help pay the tab, and his motion was approved. A report is to be made at the board's next meeting. nd with no pinching ten dencies, is somewhat smaller than her mate. She deposits her large, white eggs in a crack in a tree trunk. The white grub that hatches bores still deeper into the wood. Because the larvae of the pinching bug prefers to live and burrow in decayed wood, they do little or no harm. The larva's worst enemy, aside from the black bear, skunk, and some woodpeckers, is probably the small boy or the adult who uses the white grub with which to bait a fishook, May Take Six Years Some species of the stag beetle, and there are many in all, may take as long as six years from the time they are hatched until they are fully developed. Full grown, either the black or the brown pinching bug may be all of two inches long. with inch-long mandibles. A three-inch bug is quite a bug. He flies readily and in flight produces a loud, buzzing sound. Some folks say the buzz sounds angry. One of the little-known characteristics of the stag beetle is the high-pitched squeak it emits when frustra ted or handled. Quite a character, this leathery-coated "people pinch-er."
