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.

Legislature May
Discuss Job
Applicant Checks
Salem - HOT - The Oregon
Civil Service commission
dicated Thursday the 1963
legislature probably will be
asked to determine whether
the state should check appli
cants for state jobs to see if
they have criminal back
grounds.
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.

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.

believe that members of Con-

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."
