Twikhell Mail Tribune Regional Editor We didn't really intend to leave out thii column Monday. It waa just one of those days. The copy got under a pile of stuff downstairs someplace and never emerged until it was too late to get it set in type. Oh well, at least our regional correspondents got some extra space for their stories. We had a meeting for all the correspondents last Wednesday, a fact of which you are probably already aware if you read R. E. Nealon's "Tablets" column on this page Friday. So stimulating was the occasion that your editor was struck down by the flu within a few hours after the session. Seriously, I am becoming increasingly aware of the fact that our correspondents have many interesting talents. We could devote this column for some weeks to come exclusively to telling you about them. One new "talent" that our correspondents are now acquiring is in the field of classified advertising and subscriptions. At the meeting Wednesday, those present were given packets of materials so that they may take want ads or subscriptions for persons in the outlying areas. Correspondents who were not present Wednesday will receive the materials through the mail shortly. Whert'l Freddie? Lauraine Laws, our Rogue River correspondent, is having trouble finding her pet skunk "Freddie." He wandered off from their home about three weeks ago and hasn't come home. A couple of people have seen him since then, Lauraine reports, but they were afraid to go after him for fear of his scent. They needn't have worried. Freddie has been de-scented. Watch That Snake Bertha Hanscom, our Phoenix correspondent, re minds us that it's time to look out for rattlesnakes while on fishing, rock hunting or hiking excurisions. "I'm afraid of snakes," she says, "so if you ever see a streak of blue jeans and yellow hat flash by, that's me." Out of the Hospital We're happy to report that Velda Barr, our Prospect correspondent, renowned cow chaser, etc., was discharged from Sacred Heart Hospital last Sunday. She had been there since the night of April 23 when she broke her leg while attempting to chase her cows back to the barn. News From Siskiyou Happy Camp Book Circulation Jumps Happy Camp -The circula tion of the new Happy Camp Branch of the Siskiyou Coun ty Free Library has been set at 40 books during the first two weeks of April. This fig ure represents a significant increase, since the annual cir culation at the former branch library here was only 900 a year. The new Librarian here, hired by the Siskiyou County Free Library, is Miss Rena Gunter. The hours for the li brary are from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. each week day, and Tuesday and Thursday eve nings from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. These evening hours have been started just recently, since the demand was greater than what the afternoon hours could handle. In addition to Miss Gunter's services, volunteer librarians have been on duty with each volunteer taking one day of the week to help at the li brary. Volunteers are: Mrs. Elaine Johnson, Monday; Mrs. Har old Kuehl, Tuesday; Mrs. Dempsey Willis, Tuesday eve ning; Mrs. Jack Phillips, Wed nesday; Mrs. M. E. Erskine, Thursday; Mrs. Ted Jensen, Thursday evening; Mrs. Byron Davis, Friday. According to librarians, the book shelves were becoming quite bare with the high cir culation, but more books were brought to the library this week by Mrs. Thora Sell strom, Acting Siskiyou Coun ty Librarian, and Mrs. Marvel Soulc, a member of the staff under Mrs. Sellstrom. The shelves are now stock ed with more books. Much demand has been for refer ence books for students doing homework, and within a short time it is hoped that these books will be in more abun dance for the student's use, according to the staff here. Yreka-The Salvation Army annual campaign opened Thursday in Siskiyou County, with a goal of $3000, it was announced today by the chair man for the County, Senator Randolph Collier. Collier said that solicita tions were under the direction of E. G. Mndsen, the local Army area representative, and will be conducted in all the major communities of the county. Donations may also be sent to the Salvation Army in care of Senator Collier, P.O. Bon 57, Yrcka, Calif. Buy New Pipt Happy Camp-Happy Camp Improvement Inc. has entered into a contract with American Steel of Medford for 3,600 (cot of 12 inch water pipe for a cost of nearly $10,000. According to Ray Wasson, chairman of the corporation. K. D. OTTOSEN cOurage inTelligence Thrift cOurtesy Sobriety xpErience Ntegrity Democrat for Sheriff MEDFOHD Count this pipe will replace the present 6-inch pipe line from the pumps on Elk Creek up to the 25,000 gallon storage tank. This bigger line should help to keep the tank full during the peak of the irriga tion season, Wasson said, however we will probably still have to regulate irriga tion hours, he said. This contract was entered into, Wasson said, after the stockholders had approved making a loan to cover the cost of pipe and installation. The new line should be in stalled in about a month. The pipe should be here in ap proximately two weeks, and prior to that a new road will be built from the pumps to the tank in which the pipe will be laid. The route of the new line will be shorter, Wasson said, since the road will be built in a more direct route to the tank, rather than follow the old ditch line as the present line is laid. The site for the water sup ply is approximately l'4 miles from town on Elk Creek with the storage tank set up high on the hill to give about 100 feet of elevation over that of the town. Cleanup Saturday Happy Camp -The Annual Grange Cemetery cleanup will be held Saturday starting at 8 a.m. All workers are asked to bring their own tools and re port for work at the cemetery as near 8 a.m. as possible to get as much work done as pos sible before lunch. The ladies are asked to bring food for noon dinner to the Elementary School cafe teria where lunch will be served to all workers and kitchen help at noon. The annual affair has been held approximately 25 years with townspeople turning out to clean the community ceme tery and be rewarded with a big dinner. Heading the cleanup opera tions is Mrs. Alice Dunaway who has held that duty for many years. Also long stand ing as head of the kitchen is Mrs. Bernice Sutcliffe who will be planning the menu and see that there is plenty of food. DEMOCRATS ATTENTION! CUP MORRISON w. I.

Sdt Wtrnmirk, Chirmn OREGON New Method Used To Teach Reading in First Grade at Lone Pine By DOT SIMMONS Lone Pine-Mrs. Opal Guetz laff, first grade teacher, and Lee Merriman, principal at Lone Pine school, have spent many hours assembling a new method of teaching reading In the first grade. It is known as the "Kine sethic" method. This method of teaching is expected to aid greatly in relieving children's reading difficulties. The first letter of the alpha bet, then various objects start ing with that letter, are as sembled on a 12-inch by 14 inch peg board. These are then set in grooves in a file box. The grooves hold the board and objects upright. The child may go to the file, pick up the board and use it as a self-drilling teaching tool. Mrs. Guetzlaff said that she feels the pupils can play and create a love for reading at the same time. The method Trail Woman Wolves Near By A. LOUIS DAY Trail On occasion, Mrs. Pauline Pitts will saddle her horse and ride back into the wilderness along Berry creek, looking for stray cattle or just for the ride. With the excep tion of seeing a porcupine, coyote or a hawk's nest, most of the trips are uneventful. . But about 2 p.m., May 7, while returning from a search for strays, she was privileged to see a sight thought lost to this part of Oregon. Just be fore getting to the ridge over the upper neck of Berry creek, two wolves crossed the trail. She got a "bead" on one of them with her rifle, but didn't shoot as she wanted to be ab solutely certain she wasn't shooting someone's big dog. Since they made no effort to make a fast getaway, she had plenty of time to observe them, and she is positive they were the dark timber wolves who many years ago frequent ed the Cascades and western Oregon. The Pitts' ranch, where Pauline lives with her hus band, Charlie, is located ap proximately 3 miles up Elk Creek road, from its intersec tion with the Crater Lake highway (62) and at the south eastern end of Berry creek. A hasty check with the Ore gon Game commission's de scriptive pamphlet on preda tory animals revealed that the last bounty paid on a wolf in the state was in 1947. This was in Lane county and is the last authenticated record on file. It further states that while POUS C. ' ;;:;;.' V P : law) III ! materials used in a new method of teaching reading In the first grade. It's known as the kinesethic method. also gives the child an under standing of phonics with real meaning, she stated, and gives children a better understand ing of sounds by associating them with letters, pictures and objects. Merriman decided to use the project during a remedial reading course he took at Southern Oregon college. This is the first time it has ever been tried here and stu dents have shown great inter est thus far. The method will be used during the summer school at McLoughlin Junior high, in which Mrs. Guetzlaff teaches a remedial reading class. Mrs. Guetzlaff first became interested in teaching first graders a number of years ago, because she had always had a love for them, and wanted to be sure they got a good fundamental back ground. Sights Two Berry Creek most authorities agree that it is unlikely any wolves re main, it still would be im proper to state for certain that there are no wolves left in the state. Later in the day, Mrs. Pitts related, the female wolf came down into the open just in back of her living quarters, and she again had plenty of time to more closely observe the animal. She said that all evidence indicated she had whelped young ones. A wolfs litter may run In sizes from 4 to 14, so the Pitts are expecting to run into some of the pups sooner or later. The next time though they intend to shoot, and make observations later. The grown wolf is a vicious killer, OPEN HOUSH Join the fun this weekend at Walker the Weeper's gala open house.
