Regional Calendar Gold Hill - Tuesday, 8 p.m.. Odd Fellows lodge will meet at I.O.O.F. hall. I lead a double life. During the morning and early afternoons of most business days, I work at being a jour nalist. But in the late afternoon and early evening, and on days off, my identity changes completely. I have be come sort of a gardener-farmer on a small scale. It all started early this year. I bought a few seeds. A friend sent me some more seeds as a present. Then I got out in one of the pastures next to our little house south of Talent and started to dig with a shovel. I dug up enough ground to get in a couple of short rows of rad ishes and cabbage, but I soon discovered that digging in the ground around Talent takes quite a little eftort. So I got someone to come and plow up half an acre. One thing led to another, and pretty soon I had a garden. . Meanwhile, over in Merlin some friends offered me garden space, already plowed up. I put in a few things over there, and at last count there were something like 28 varieties of vegetables and fruits in the ground at both places. Perhaps by planting a little of everything the first year one can find out what grows well and what doesn't. Some early findings: Peas and lettuce grow bet ter in Merlin than they do in Talent, but cabbage and swiss chard do better in Talent than they do in Merlin. There's something revitalizing about getting out and working in the garden. Often I feel pretty tired when I get home after a day's work in town. But half an hour in the garden is usually enough to fill the body with energy and then it seems as if the sun sets too soon to suit me. Viiil to the Observatory Whilp in Yreka recently we visited the new Siskiyou Amateur Observatory and talked with Charles Fiock, the man who built the telescope inside it. This observatory, while small, represents quite an achievement for a city the size of Yreka. It should be an excellent aid in stimu lating the interest of young people In astronomy. A particularly clever feature is a display of the planets in the solar system literally spread out over the country side, arranged in proportion to each planet's respective distance from the sun. The observatory is considered to represent the sun. Mercury is represented by a small ball some 300 feet down the hill, Earth by a somewhat larger round object on a tree down in the city, Saturn by an object on a hill a mile or two away and Pluto by a tiny ball on top of a mountain on the other side of the valley. These objects can be seen only through the telescope. The distances between them drive home the realization of how tremendous the expanses of space are. By the same scale, Fiock explained, the nearest star to earth would have to be placed a distance from the observatory equivalent to several times the circumference of the earth. . . 174 District 6 Students Promoted To High School Josephine County New Rippees of Williams Sell Dairy To Californians Gold Hill - Tuesday after noon, Dens one, two and three of Cub Scout Pack 43 will meet at the homes of the respective den mothers, Mrs Jose Corona in Gold Hill, Mrs. James Kenney, Colonial way, and Mrs. Weston Wyatt men way eg south.

A "committee-of-the-whole" from the Phoenix city coun cil is investigating the irriga tion ditches to determine what danger and nuisance they are to townsfolk. Coun cil members and committee members appointed by Phoe nix Mayor Miss Faye Carver are John Klassen, Delbert Cook, Cecil Claflin, Art Bon er, Eloise Reese and Clyde Knight- In addition, Mayor Carver said the council will consider any other petitions, protests or recommendations from Phoenix residents regarding the ditches. The action was initiated by l'hoenix property owner Bill Hanscom who claims the open ditch cuts off a piece of his property making it un- useable, continually erodes his land, is unsightly, un healthy and dangerous to small children. He also claims that the Ir rigation district never had any deed to the land it uses. Hanscom said he would be content if tb.3 district would pi t concrete over it. Hanscom's attorney. Gene Piazza, following a personal nvestigation, pointed out the open ditches through the heart of the town endanger small children. Residents ditches in the last four or five years and a number of of others had diffi 'lty in getting out. Piazza also noted the open ditches hamper future growth of Phoenix since it would naturally expand on the west side whjre Hans comb lives. "The irrigation district took over a 50-year fran chise from the former Rogue River Canal company. The franchise with Phoenix is up in' 1965. We could renew it now if we were sure the ir rigation district would cor rect this dangerous ditch sit uation," Phoenix Mayor Car ver remarked. Hanscom's attorney noted that the franchise contains certain restrictions covering the width of the ditches, keeping them clean of growth and debris and re quiring them to be maintain ed so as not to constitute a menace to the health and welfare of the people of Phoenix. The irrigation dis trict apparently has violated these conditions, Piazza said. "On the otl er hand, we recognize a cost factor is in volved and it would be ex pensive to tile over all the ditches running through town. But, it wouldn't cost any million dollars as some people have cla'ied," Piazza snorted. "It would seem to me that the district would save a lot of water they now lose through seepage. And there nave niuea hi jeasi iwo sman are some less expensive children drowned in the ' ways of tiling." social 26 at Phoenix Mrs. Ada Fowl, er and Mrs. James Rudder of Klamath Falls were week end visitors at the home of Har lan Glasscock. 100 Fourth at. 19 Butte Falls Students Register Perfect Attendance Butte Falls - Out of a total enrollment of 115, 17 stu dents of the Butte Falls Ele mentary school had perfect ttendance for the school year 1981-1062.

BELLE BLEVINS Quail for a Pet Applegate Resident Has Quail for Pet By JEANETTE HEAD Applegate A quail for a pet silly? Oh no, Belle Ble vins has one for proof. It eats out of your hand and has yet to learn it's not "people." Last August a quail's nest was discovered in the Ellery atone garden and one morn' ing ine motner quail was gone, undoubtedly having made a tasty breakfast for some neighborhood cat. Teresa Stone, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Stone and granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ellery Stone, took the eggs, 12 of them, to Mrs, Ralph Blevins, a neighbor. For a week, Belle kept the eggs on a heating pad, turn ing them and keeping a wet sponge nearby for the neces sary humidity. Four eggs hatched, one died the first day. Now came the tedious job of feeding. A mixture of corn- meal, oatmeal and parakeet gravel was used. The three surviving quail thrived on this diet and followed Belle around when outside. By No vember the quail were nearly full-grown and it seemed they should be given their inde pendence. Belle carried the quail down to a lower field' where many quail fed and turned them loose, hoping they would take up with the wild birds. That evening she went down to check and discovered one had remained and it came hurrying to meet her. For sev eral days, Belle carried the young bird back to the field in the hopes it would join the others, but with no success. The hen quail by now was known as " Baby. The bird was permitted in the house in the evening, but made to stay outside during the day.
