Mack, principal of Gold Hill schools said there are two purposes for this par ty. One is to have fun and the other is to raise some money for the Crater Stadium Fund.

Regional Roundup by Cleve Twitched Mail Tribune Regional Editor This is the first summer in quite some time that your regional editor has spent living on standard time. Like all stories, there are two sides to the matter. I like the idea of watching TV programs an hour earlier, although in a few instances programs that used to be on at 7 p.m. have now been switched to 10 o'clock in order to avoid conflicting with the 6 o'clock news. It's also rather nice to be able to listen to a baseball game being played in San Francisco or Los Angeles and still get to sleep early. But there are other considerations. For instance, if you look over the weather chart you'll find that the sun rises at around 4:30 a.m. standard time. I noticed that fact one Saturday night when I was working at the office here. I left for home at 11:30 p.m. with the realization that the sun should be up in five hours. Needless to say, it was a rather tiring realization. Middle-Of-Tha-Night Call The election in Siskiyou county, Calif., last week had repercussions in Medford early June 6. About 1:30 a.m. Medford Police Detective Lt. Lyle C. Perkins was awak ened at his home by a telephone call from Yrcka inform ing him that Sheriff Al Cottar had lost the election. The caller asked the Medford officer if he could line up jobs in the area for the chief criminal deputy and the undersheriff in Siskiyou county. Perkins, upset at the news, did some checking before he arrived at the Medford police station and managed to get some jobs for the two men. Later he was informed that Cottar had not lost, but won the election. Later in the day another call from Yreka (this one for real) in vited Perkins and other detectives to an election party at the Shamrock which was attended by 150 persons. Strawberry War? I haven't noticed any gas wars lately, but a straw berry price war seems to be brewing among the fruit and vegetable stands on highway 99 between Medford and Phoenix. A week ago, I priced strawberries at one of the stands and found them to be $3 a crate. Later, last week, one of the stands had cut the price to $2.89. Then over the week end, two stands advertised $2.69. Yesterday morning, one of the stands posted a $2.49 a crate. I hope the fellows keep it up. Strawberries are one of my weaknesses. RegionalCalendar Prospect - Wednesday, joint installation of the Prospect Lions club and Lady Lions will be held at Community hall. Friday, 3 p.m., Mr. and Mrs. Avery Greenman (stage names Jack and Sydna Mann) of Drew, semi retired enter tainers who were subject of recent Mail Tribune feature story, will be on Johnny Linn show, KBES-TV. Grants Pass - Stale Grange convention will be held at high school gym next Mon day, instead of Sunday as previously reported. Phoenix Fire Department Will Receive New Items Phoenix - The Phoenix volunteer fire department will receive new items in the near future, Chief Dave Haggard told the volunteers last night during the regular fire drill and meeting. The fire department com mittee from the Phoenix city council has approved pur chase of two new flip-up type doors and a new battery hook up for the fire engine. The new doors will make it possible to move equipment out of the fire station quicker and to drive out both the fire engine and emergency panel truck at the same time, Chief Eagle Point Graduation Held Eagle Point - Dr. George Rosebcrry of Medford deliv ered the baccalaureate ad dress to members of the Ea gle Point graduating class.

A second battery will be hooked up on the engine in case the main battery should go out. The committee also decided to purchase chemicals to flush out the fire engine tank to clean out rust and other sediment which may have settled in it. As requested by Mrs. A. C. Reese, fire department com mittee member. Haggard sounded the siren last night to announce that a fire depart- 'ment drill was being held FU V jJ... but don't cut your vacation in half.
