O 0 10 A WEDNESDAY. MAY 23, 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Regional Roundup by Cleva Twitchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor Those of us who have been to natural history muse ums in the major cities of the country probably recall seeing displays of stuffed animals portrayed in their natural setting. These displays, called habitats, usually are composed of a painted backdrop and foreground foliage designed to resemble a particular scene. Stuffed animals of the sort usually found in that part of the world fire then assembled on the stage. In many museums these habitats portray scenes from faraway places, but shortly a museum Is scheduled to open here in the Rogue Valley which will portray habitat scenes that arc very close to home. It will be known as the Southern Oregon Museum of Natural Resources and it is scheduled to open June 16 in the community building of the Lithia Park Auto court In Ashland. We were privileged to take a tour of the place with the Ashland Chamber of Commerce membership yesterday. Ml. Ashland in Summer Three habitat scenes will be produced originally, one now almost complete of a scene near Ml. Ashland in summer. It will show a bobcat which has just caught a mountain quail. Other birds will be shown scolding the bobcat. A second habitat will show a scene along Bear creek in winter while a third is scheduled to be a scene of the Ashland burn, to show how it is growing back. Two other habitats are proposed for sometime In the future, with completion perhaps two years from now. One would show a scene of beavers with Mt. McLoughlin in the background, the other a moonlight scene of a mountain lion and two deer In the Siskiyous. Farther in the future is planned a spectacular 150-foot panoramic habitat showing all of southern Oregon from the coast to the Snake river. Other displays at the museum will include glass cases of stuffed birds and insects that are found in the area and also minerals. In addition, a live beehive has been placed in a glass case for display. Artist and Taxidermist Founders and proprietors of the museum are David Hagerbaumcr, an artist, and L. I. Haptonstall, a taxider mist. Hagerbaumcr has been in museum work since 1947. He previously was with the state museum at Carson City, Nev. and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. He moved to Oregon five years ago and felt a desire to portray this area In museum form. The two men are financing the entire project themselves. They expect that there will be an admission charge to the museum but emphasize that school children in groups during the school year will be admitted free. Hagerbaumcr and Haptonstall certainly appear to have put in an enormous amount of work on the project. To preserve some tree branches in one of the habitats, for instance, they had to take each individual needle off the branch, preserve it and put it back on, a job requiring something like 150 hours.

Ayers, chairman of the finance committee reveal ed yesterday. This amount is enough to pay for the grandstand, not in cluding the roof, Ayers indi cated, and so backers of the project are getting ready to secure bids on construction of the stadium itself. Goal for the fund drive was set originally at $30,000. Funds are being raised in two ways, through outright donations and through sale of season tickets at $50 good for three years. Donations have been the more popular, Ayers said. "We've just about reached our original goal on donations," he explained. Over 200 tickets have been sold, but this figure is only about half of what was originally antici pated. A huge mound of earth has already been assembled in preparation for construction of the grandstand on top of it. Moving of the earth accom plished an additional purpose. In order to get it, workmen leveled a hill north of Crater High school, giving the school room for additional parking space. Youth Building Said Too Costly By MARY KELL Gold Hill During the last planning meeting for a pro posed youth center, represen tatives of several organiza tions agreed that construction of a youth center building would be too big an expense for local groups to undertake. This decision was reached after lengthy discussion of certain factors. A proposed youth center building would be additional expense, they felt, since two existing buildings which have a d e n. u a t e facilities, t h e G.-ange hall and Multi-purpose room at Patrick school, have been offered for pro posed youth center activities, providing there is qualified adult supervision present. It was pointed out that such a plan should be projected as a community building center with facilities to meet all youth and adult groups in the area. There is no property on which to construct such a building. Funds for such prop erty and building are not available. Ralph A. James, Sams Val ley, who is chairman of the planning committee appoint ed five parents to make ar rangements for a teen-age party that will be held after school is out. Teen-agers in the area will be contacted as to the date and place. Those on the committee are Mrs. Leonard Andrews, chairman, Mr. and Mrs. Wal ter Dye, and Mr. and Mrs. John J. Thomas. This group will make a report on their plans at the next planning meeting set for Friday, June 15, at 7:30 p.m. at the Odd Fellows hall. Although parents have been urged to attend the plan ning meetings if they are in terested in a proposed Youth Center, participation of par ents at the two meetings has been small. Local groups were repre sented at the last meeting by the following representatives: Amethyst Rebekah lodge, Mrs. Evert Jennings; Odd Fellows lodge 129, H. D. Force; Gold Hill Grange, Mrs. OLD-TIMERS Among those honored at recent old-timeri dinner in Montague were, standing, left to right, Ab Evans, 89, Con Mulloy, 87, and John Louie, 87; seated, Anna Dreyer, 91, Fanny Dexter, 89, Minnie Tamisiea, 92, and Ellen Car mony, 96. The dinner was held to honor all those 75 years of age or older, in conjunction with Montague's 75th an niversary celebration this year. Featured at the dinner were many old-time decorations. The dinner was called to order with an old metal triangle which came from about tha year 1909. John J.
