But one burning question remains: Where is the sea? Boosters in Crescent City, Calif., are quick to say that the Pacific Ocean terminus is Crescent City. In Coos Bay, Ore., boosters insist hotly that the best ter minus is Coos Bay, the "only deep water port between San Francisco and the Columbia river." President James F. Johnson of the Coos Bay Port Com mission calls it a "multi-mil- 1 nun uuimr cuiiMun I'cunom ! ically. i Pooh-poohing Loos Bay s bid. Crescent City Title com pany President Andy Flynn noted that the Oregon coastal towns of Brookings and Gold Beach plus Areata and Eureka on the California coasl all had bids in once for the western terminus. But Eureka and Ar eata have "stepped aside" for Crescent City, and Gold Beach and Brookings don't seem to be in the running, he said. Romantic as it sounds. Winnemucca-to-the-Sea isn't an official name, and no one can recall who thought it up years ago. Nevada Highway Engin eer Otis Wright said in Reno thai his department has un officially accepted this desig nation. Name Not Recognized The Oregon highway de partment doesn't recognize the name officially or other wise, and doesn't intend to. "It's just a slogan," said High way Engineer Forrest Cooper. He also made it plain that his department has nothing to do with the Crescent City-Coos Bay question. The route is actually many highways right now, between 400 and 500 miles long. Heading north from Winnc mucca on U.S. 95, the pave ment goes for 140 miles, end owing abruptly at the Oregon line. A major breakthrough came April 13 when Oregon award ed a $366,659 contract for surfacing 21.5 rugged miles from the Oregon-Nevada bor der west to Oregon's 6.120 foot high Blizzard Gap. When completed this summer - at about $17,000 a mile - all ot Winnemucca-to-the-Sea will be surfaced. The route snakes westward through the mountain and desert country of Southern Oregon's skirt to Adcl and Lakeview, onto Oregon High way 66 and through Klamath Falls, Ashland, Medford and Grants Pass. From Grants Pass. Winne- mucca-to-the-Sca could turn southwest on U.S. 199, the Redwood Highway, and go to Crescent City. Or, it could head north on U.S. 99 to Roscburg and cut over on curvy Highway 42. now being rebuilt, to Coos Bay. Association Formed There is a Winncmucca-lo-the-Sca Association (WTTSA) formed in 1959, made up of officials from six counties Lake, Klamath. Jackson and Josephine in Oregon; Hum boldt in Nevada, and Del Norte in California. Coos County - and thus Coos Bay- is notably missing. Frank Bengochea of Winne mucca, chairman of the Hum boldt County board of com missioners, says Coos Bay is a johnny-come-lately that is out of luck. He favors Crescent City. Crescent City's Flynn, an honorary director of WTTSA, says "everyone has a selfish interest in this, but we hap pen to be in the right spot." In Grants Pass, Josephine County Commissioner Louis Ringuctte says there is "no question" about the Crescent City terminus. At Lakeview, retired Lake County Judge Chris H. Langslcl, considered the "father" of the present Winnemucca plan, agrees. But one of Oregon's most powerful legislators. State Rep. Clarence Barton, hap pens to be from Coos County. He has warnrd the fight isn't over. Criticizing Ringueltc's stand, the Coquillc Democrat said "this is a typical dog in the manger attitude you run into in Josephine County. As long as the route goes through Grants Pass, they shouldn't care where it ends. They ought to be trying to develop Oregon instead of California." Meanwhile, WTTSA is ju bilant over completion of the paving A celebration is planned on the lonely Oregon Nevada border Sept. 22-23. The governors of Oregon, Nevada and California will be invited.

(UPI) Bav, Ore., tor a seauoatd FEEDNG WILD The time is not too far away when sonic of us will be finding baby birds that have fallen out of nests and arc in desperate need of a helping hand to survive. Mrs. Lenore Evans of Klamath Agency, Oregon, who has had much experience in caring for wild birds, gives some much-needed advice to those of us who have been unsuccessful in raising these little wild creatures. She writes: "In caring for wild birds, nestlings should be handled as little as possible, and, if you can manage it, feed them ev ery 15 minutes, or at least, every 30 minutes. "Young nestlings cat read ily, but older fledglings may balk at first. Just hold them gently and force their beaks open until they learn the task. Most flcdhngs are fed pro-di gested food, so great care must be taken in feeding ar tificially. "Don't worry about giv ing water to baby birds. They will get enough from their food. Many people kill me babies with too much moisture. When they begin to grow, dip their little beaks into water, just the tips, and they will soon learn to take a little when and if they want it. "A good basic diet (not for hummingbirds) is equal parts of finely mashed yolks of hard-boiled eggs and finely sifted dried bread crumbs moistened slightly with milk. Do not make the mixture 'mushy.' This mixture is used for very young babies. "If they have survived the week, add corn meal and finely crushed nuts for sccd- eating birds; add worms or meat for in.cct eaters. Give this in gradually increased amounts. "Nasturtium and water cress are rich in calcium and Vitamins A and C with a bit of Bl. Nasturtium leaves, stems and buds, may be chop ped line and added to a mix lure of canned dog meal, bread crumbss and hard-boiled egg yolk. "Seed-eating birds should toon be given fine gravel or charcoal, crushed seed, chopped greens and fruit, mealworms or other insects. "I break off small tidbits of green grapes or strawberries to give to babies for the mois ture content as well as the food value, but I don't try this until they have feathered out a bit. Some tinier babies need too much pre-digesting, and fruit might upset them "For woodpockcr babies use canned dog meat with a little cornmeal to simulate acorn?, or crushed peanuts Mealworms and milk fed from an eyedropper are enjoyed. "Feed them by hanr1. but encourage them lo peck for it themselves or you will have lengthy problem with 'spoiled child.' Poke the tiny food balls down the throat with medicine dropper (just tip it in'o the P.O. Box 252 By NOMA CLARK ABY BIRDS food) or toothpick or Fish Lake Campground Is Designed for Tents orangewood stick used manicuring. Any device that won't hurt them will suffice. With large-mouthed babies juit poke it down with a fingertip. "Use the woodpecker diet for magpie babies with more meat added. Their mouths are so enormous, even from the first, that there is no trouble feeding. "For nutcrackers feed as for woodpeckers: they adore nuts chopped fine with more nuts and cornmeal than meat and vegetable matter. "Hummingbirds are de lightful babies and are easily tamed. Rather than sugar and water, use equal parts of hon ey and water. The sugar-water satisfies them but lacks enough vitamins if used for long periods of time. "Feed them' often through a small medicine dropper. The babies prefer the syrup col ored with a little bit of red food coloring. 'When the baby appears to be successfully growing, add a bit of finely ..Uverized dog meal lo the syrup. Anyone interested in as sisting birds is welcome lo write to me. If I cannot help them, I can always consult with someone who has more knowledge on the subject than I." House trailers or pickup permitted within the limits of permitted within the limits o the Fish lake campground, Rogue River National Forest, according to C. E. Brown, for est supervisor. The campground was not designed to accommodate trailers. All camping units arc intended for family- type camping with tents or similar facilities, he noted. The state health code re quiries that facilities for dis posal of waste from trailers be included in trailer camp sites. Provision for this waste disposal is not available. Parking areas for each camping unit arc designed to accommodate a single vehicle only, Brown noted. An influx of trailer houses would reduce the capacity of the camp ground since the trailers would need to occupy two camping units for parking of both vehicles. Adequate trailer house fa cilities with connections for water supply, lights, power, and disposal of waste arc available at a nominal charge from the resort owner, Lloyd Morris, adjacent to the camp ground. These facilities meet the requirements of the slate health code, Brown said. (X) VOTE for HENRY F. PADGHA.,1 Democratic Candid iU tor STATE SENATOR Pd. Pol. Ady. by H. Padgham 1309 Court, Medford Valley Teacher Gels Fellowship Rogue River John D. Pais ley, chemistry, mathematics and physics teacher at Rogue River High school, has been awarded a Shell merit fellow ship for advance study this summer at blantord univer sity. Paisley is credited with be ing one of the 100 outstand ing high school science and mathematic teachers from the United States and Canada to attend the seminars at Cornell and Sanford universities. Both schools made their se lections on basis of merit and demonstrated leadership quali ties. The teachers will receive advance training in mathe matics, chemistry, physics and educational techniques plus firsthand knowledge of . the applications of science and mathematics in Industry. Lec tures will be given by mathe maticians and scientists, and weekly field trips made to research laboratories and in dustrial plants. The seminars were establish ed seven years ago by the Shell Companies Foundation, Incorporated, to help main tain the quality of the na tion's scientific effort, it was explained. Paisley is a graduate of Oregon Stale university and has been teaching at Rogue River High school since 1958. In 1953-BO he attended an academic year Institute at Ore gon Slate university sponsor ed by National Science Foundation. Hemming Hasn't Requested Leave By United Press International Officials of the Oregon Board of Higher Education said Dr. Arthur Flemming, president of the University of Oregon, had not requested a possible leave of absence. lemming, former defense mobillzcr, offered to leave his present' job in questioning be fore a Senate subcommittee at Washington, D.C., Thurs day. He objected to critical questions which he said no man of normal memory could answer about conversations seven years ago on the na tion's stockpiles of strategic materials. President William E. Walsh of the Board of Higher Education said that if Dr. Flemming should make such a request the board would consider it. Heating Costs too High This Winter? COULD THIS BE THE CAUSE?
