o 1 MEDFORDJffiaMRIBUNE SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1962 PAGES 1 to 12 AUTHENTIC REPLICA Shown above in front of the Jacksonville Museum is George McUne, manager of the Jacksonville Stage line, with an authentic replica of a Concord stage which he built, and the mules, Fibber and Molly, with which McUne made the trip across country in 1959 from Indepen dence, Mo., to Oregon on the Old Oregon trail. McUne uses the stagecoach for con ducted tours through Jacksonville. He got the idea for the coach from a picture post card in the history room of the Wells Fargo bank in San Francisco. Needing more de tailed information, McUne wrote the Smith sonian Institution in Washington, D.C., and received a complete set of plans for the Concord coach. The stage line manager is an experienced wagon builder and had little difficulty in building the coach with the exception of the wheels and iron work. Opening date for the Pioneer Village and Stage line in Jacksonville is scheduled June 2. LOOK! IT MAY TUNE-UP SPECIAL Drive this summer in complete confi dence. Take advantage of these specials.

The matter of fingerprint checks of applicants for cer tain jobs was discussed Wed nesday. Philip Joss of Port land, commission chairman, said this is a "very sensitive" field which probably should be a legislative determination. Responding to Gov. Mark Hatfield's request for a study of whether present civil serv ice regulations should be strengthened, the commission ordered its staff to: -Discuss the situation with heads of state departments. who do the actual hiring after screening by civil service. -Gather data on how other states handle screening, plus practices in private industry. -Estimate the added cost of deeper screening of Oregon applicants, at various degrees of checking. Crucial Item Joss said the last item is a crucial one, and since the legislature would have to allo cate extra funds needed for extensive checks, then it should be up to the lawmak ers to decide how deeply this checking should go. The inquiry was caused by disclosure that Mark M. In fante, an inspector of migrant labor conditions for the State Labor Bureau in 1957-60, had a police record. The state did not know this at the time, and learned of Infante s past only recently when he proclaimed himself a Mexican revolution ary. To Report To Hatfield Joss said when the staff re port is given to the commis sion, he and the other two commissioners will review it and report back to Hatfield. Commissioner V. B. K e n- worthy, The Dalles, agreed with Joss that the commis sion shouldn't rush into the matter, since the implications, including fiscal, appear great. Joss also said the third com missioner, Harris Ellsworth, is traveling abroad and he and Kenworthy are particularly anxious to get Ellsworth's views. Oregon civil service does not now make checks into whether an applicant for state work had a criminal background. The application requires the job seeker, how ever, to stale whether or not he has a criminal record.

S. senator has been helping the high court as a pro tern since his senate term expired in 1961. p isiy FRIDAY, SATURDAYSUNDAY MAY 18, 19, 20 FREE COFFEE & DONUTS! FREE PRIZES EACH DAY!

WALKER the 1243 South .Riverside WEEPER Cause for Melancholy South Carolina Senator's Haircut Figures in House Floor Discussion By DICK WEST Washington - UTIi - Anyone who is at all susceptible to nostalgia couldn't help but iccl a twinge of sadness up on seeing Rep. L. Mendel Rivers with his new hair cut. It is true that some of his colleagues have derived a certain west amount of merriment from Rivers' ton sorial trim. But I regarded it as more of a cause for melan choly than for mirth. I'm old-fashioned enough to believe that members of Con- Pickin' Pears By WALTER TOWNSEND By WALTER TOWNSEND A large room hung with paintings at 601 East Jackson st., Mcdford, is where the Rogue Valley Council on Aging meet. On May Open House Week, the arm chair I travel group met on Monday, j They were entertained by Mrs. Henry Moellcr, manager of the Tabu, with slides she ' brought from Europe. j She showed Edenburg Cas tle, Sir Waller Scott's monu-1 ment, gardens dedicated to Bobbie Burns, the poet. "I've been seeing pictures from nearly everywhere on the globe," Dr. Frank Roberts said, "but these are the best I've ever seen." Others Shown She showed John Knox, the churchman. And Balmoral castle and Culzcan castle -where a former President of the United Slates makes his home when he's in Scotland. From this grandeur she next went to London and gave an actual view of an old run down building, Lloyds of Lon don, which is still headquar ters of the greatest insurance company on earth, and where they ring a bell, when a fire breaks out. I There on the sidewalk were ' artists unshaven, dirty, rag- j ged, hungry, drawing pictures j on the pavement. "They will draw any picture you want," j Mrs. Moeller said. Depressing Tower Next London Tower loomed up where they kept the crown jewels. "Depressing," a lady in the darkened room remarked. "What do you ex pect - it's a jail!" another said. The beauty of Kingston Gardens was sharply con trasted with a view of "Old Bailey." The time was October and November, and she did not forget to bring back views of run-down hotels, followed ' by Canterbury Cathedral and Buckingham Palace. Her views of the horse guards, back of St. James I Palace, showing them in their fur hats, which looked heavy; ! and how tourist razz them, boo them, was a new slant on j world travel. "They change the guard every day at 12," I she said. Then came the House of Parliament. And the Governor's Hotel. The Ad miralty Hotel, which she said was Ihe gateway to at. James. Big Ben Appears A modern new apartment building - very modernistic -built over a crater bombed out by Adolf Hitler, was breath taking in its suggestions of , what the future may be like. ; Big Ben appeared on the scene. "It jars you out of bed," she said. She called attention to the ancient archways of St. James Palace. And Westminster Ab bey - where her party spent three days - and would have , liked to spend that many years, seeing things that "made you wonder." Number 10 Downing Street was disappointing she said. A black, dark, dirty alleyway had to be traversed to reach ' it. But to make up for this, the grounds were beautiful. She showed Picadilly Circus, with its night life and garish : signs. Coca Cola everywhere. Two Accidents Are Reported To Police Two one-car accidents were reported to Oregon state po lice Wednesday afternoon and evening. About 5:15 p.m. a car, driv en by Judith Diane Minear, 18, of 15 Winburn Way, Ash land, turned over on Highway 66 about three miles cast of Ashland. She told officers that she had taken her eyes off the road, and the car went onto the left shoulder. In her at tempt to straighten out the vehicle, it crossed the high way and turned over, pole said Tli? second accident was re ported about 10:25 p m. when a car driven by Allen Grant Shipley, 20, ' 134 North PioAer st., Ashland, went out , of control on Highway 90 npar the xnilth ritv limits of Medford, crossed thevj:hway I and went lirfo ths ditch. gress ought to look like con gressmen. Very few of them do any more, and that may be what is wrong with the coun try today. The record. I think, will bear me out that our troubles began multiplying about the time that senators and repre sentatives ceased wearing ice cream suits and started trim ming their flowing manes. Vestige of Old School Until about a week ago. Rivers was a vestige of the old school. The gentleman from Charleston wore his hair in the tradition of John C. Cal houn, another distinguished South Carolinian who wore his hair in the tradition of a Macedonian sheep dog. It was a comforting sight to us tradition lovers and sort of provided us with a link with the past. Why, then, did Rivers sud denly decide to have his locks shorn, particularly when it revealed a bald spot long hid den in the backwaters of his cascading tresses? This question has been the subject of much speculation in the past few days and even figured in a discussion on the floor of the House. Rep. Robert L. F. Sikes (D Fla.) felt compelled to inform the other members that the 1 apparent stranger in their midst was "not a tourist pass ing through the Capitol." Rather, he said, it was "L. Mendel Rivers with a haircut, ! the first one in 22 years." Samion and Delilah Rumored "It has been rumored that there may be something of a Samson and Delilah situation i here," Sikes added. I doubt there is any truth to j the rumor. Nor, 1 suspect, was Rivers being entirely candid j when he dismissed his switch to a modified crewcut as mere ly a seasonal measure to im prove cranial ventilation. He must have had a drastic j reason for such a drastic ac- j tion. Three possibilities spring to mind: j (1) He is planning to run off and join the Peace Corps; (2) He has been hired by a movie producer to p'eny the role of a German spy; (3) He wanted to avoid being mistaken for Sen. Margaret Chase Smith. My own theory, however, is that Rivers fell under the In fluence of a television com mercial. He found that the only way he could manage his hair the old way was by plas tering it with "greasy kid stuff." NOTICE!
