Regional Roundup
by Cleva Twilchell
Mail Tribune Regional Editor
Being regional editor, we suppose, also entails acting
as sort of a travel editor on a small scale, and so per
haps we should, from time to time, report on impres
sions gained while traveling about the southern Oregon
countryside. It should be remembered that the re
gional editor is a relative newcomer to this area. We
will try to avoid insulting the intelligence of the many
readers who undoubtably are more familiar with the
state of Jefferson than we are.
Having already visited the new Copco lake in Siski
you county and Lake Selma in Josephine county, the
family and I decided last week that it was about time
we toured some of the lakes of Jackson county. We
didn't get to all of them, but our little tour did include
overnight camping at Willow Creek reservoir and brief
stops at Fish lake and Lake of the Woods. (That Lake
of the Woods title threw one member of the family who
kept trying to call Fish lake "Fish of the Lake"). We
found Lake of the Woods the prettiest, but also enjoyed
the stiff breeze and Invigorating atmosphere of Fish
lake and the nice view of Mt. McLoughlin (now you
know I'm a newcomer) at Willow Creek reservoir.
A particular delight was a section along the road
between Willow Creek and Fish Lake where the for
ests have not been logged. It had rained the night be
fore and the foliage was a lush green glistening in the
few rays of the sun that could get through to the ground.
We passed Willow Prairie Campground on that road,
which we understand through subsequent conversation
with a Rogue River National Forest representative
is an old campground now being improved. It looked
most inviting. A few miles from Fish lake we came
across the construction of the Winneinucca-to-the-Sea
link between Eagle Point and Lake of the Woods. II
makes present driving conditions in that area pretty
rough, but promises a good road for the future.
We concluded the trip with a swing into Klamath
county, down past Klamath Lake (big enough to re
mind us of the Great Lakes) and Klamath Falls. , We
were Impressed by the city's fancy and surprisingly long
main commercial street. But after hearing four Jets
go overhead in as many minutes, noting that gasoline
was three cents a gallon higher than in Medford, and
remembering one day last winter when KF had a high
temperature of 2 and a low of -25, we decided we were
glad we didn't live there.

Adding t $2 charge to each

virtually the only legal meth
od of raising these funds, the
council explained.
After hearing the explana
tion, most residents in attend

that the $2 charge on water

way of raising sewer project

A number of them, how

unfair method of taxation.

MeClurg Home, Seek
New Name For Hill
Phoenlx-Mr. and Mrs. Ray
mond Maddox, having bought
the Doug MeClurg home on
Graveyard hill, have been
thinking of a new name for
their home.
The former owners called
the place Easter Hill, because
for years the churches of
Phoenix walked up the hill
and had Easter sunrise serv
ices there on Easter morning.
Since the churches no long
er do this, the Maddoxes feel
the name doesn't fit anymore.
But 8-year-old Ronald, who
has two brothers and a sis
ter, says naming the hill is
easy; he suggested his parents
call their home "The Maddox
Brothers and Becky?" Well,
why not?

Conference System
Adopted at Jewett
By ONITA SIMMONS
Central Point A parent
teacher conference system has
been adopted for use next
fall at the Jewett elementary
school.
Faculty members feel that
this system will be a real step
forward in the quality of edu
cation offered by the school.
The main purpose of this
program will be to provide
better education for boys and
girls. Parents who are better
informed as to their children's
progress are expected to be a
factor in improved learning.
Research has been going on
this past year with success in
various areas.
The first scheduled confer
ence period will be held dur
ing the ninth and tenth weeks
of school this fall. Confer
ence hours will be from 2:45
until 5:00 p.m. daily, with an
individual appointment made
for each parent.
Another conference report
period will be held in the
spring, during the 27th and
28th weeks of school. At the
end of the first semester and
at the end of the school year,
only the regular report cards
will be used.
