MONDAY. AUGUST 6. 19E2 MLDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OREGON Regional Roundup by Clave Twilchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor The strange objects In the sky, which we see by yes terday's "Politick" column have caused a little excite ment in Eugene, have also created some interest locally. We received a phone call a couple of weeks ago from a woman in Central Point asking if anyone could explain to her what she had seen the night before. She reported having watched a star-like object move slowly across the sky to about the center of it, then stop and hover for about five minutes following which it took off in another direction and gradually disappeared. Asked what we thought the object might have been, we remarked that it probably was nothing more than the Venus to Mars express. We saw a star-like object too the same night as the lady in Central Point, but the one we saw did not stop. It just kept moving in a straight line and looked suspici ously like a satellite. We believe that there is ample evidence (for those willing to take the trouble to hunt for it) to indicate that our little planet here has been under occasional observation by extra-terrestrials for thousands of years. (Don't let that worry you. If the boys out there had any intention of taking us over, they would have done it when we were running around with clubs.) We see little need, however to label every object in the sky an interplanetary spacecraft. As far was we're con cerned, what we saw the other night looked like a satel lite, because it did nothing extraordinary. This business of satellites makes UFO detection more difficult because there are so many natural explanations that can be used to explain a sighting of a strange object in earthly terms (which seems to be a desperate necessity for some people.) We sometimes wonder what methods were used to explain away UFO sightings in the days when there were no conventional aircraft in the skies. (Interestingly enough, there have been numerous sight ings of unidentified flying objects in just about every chapter of recorded history.) An interesting ease is the incident which took place, we are told, in 1902 over the city of Chicago. A large craft hovered over the center of the city for 20 minutes and projected some type of searchlight on the ground. This object was seen by thousands of people. It was photographed, and the photo along with news stories appeared on the front pages of Chicago newspapers. The photo and the newspapers are still in existence, we are told. After the object had hovered for 20 minutes it took off and was triangulated between Chicago and a suburb. The triangulation showed that the object had traveled at a speed of 247 miles per hour. This fact more than any other caused the object to be dismissed, because scientists of the day argued that nothing solid could pos sibly travel at a speed of 247 miles per hour. According to the story, an astronomer, who hadn't seen the object, was consulted for his opinion. He replied that there just was no point in having an opinion, because the incident simply could not have happened. He advised that the best thing to do was to forget about it as quickly as pos sible. And that's pretty much what happened. The sight ing was forgotten so completely that It took seven years of intensive investigation by a UFO researcher In Chicago before the fact that it had taken place at all could be documented. The above case is a good example of the fallacy of the oft-heard contention, "Well, if there really are visi tors from other worlds up there, why don't they just hover over a big city for a few minutes. Then every one would be convinced they exist." In 1902 something did hover over a big city for 20 minutes, and it didn't prove a thing.

Local Forest Service per sonnel are surveying for a new road, which will com pletely renovate the present Page Mountain road from Four Corners to the Oregon boundary near Bolan Lake. Klamath National Forest on the California side sold sev eral large timber sales last year involving specific road construction, warranting pav ing and two lanes, and con necting with the present For est Service surveys. It is not known if Siskiyou county in California will un dertake the oiling and mainte nance of the road but in all probability the task will be accomplished for the benefit of the Happy Camp area. The paved highway will give Happy Camp a link to Crescent City ports which is desirable for the large ore and lumber shipments which are a product of the region. Happy Camp road starts at Redwood Highway 199 at Contracts Awarded For District 9 Oil Eagle Point - Western Oil and Burner. Valley Fuel, and L. G.

Rogue River Man Makes Violins Rogue River - Just before last Christmas Claude C. Hil ger of Rogue River had a dream. As a result he took up the hobby of making vio lins. Using a friend's violin as a pattern and following the mental picture he had gotten from the dream, he set to work. In 43 days he had cre ated his first violin. To date he has now made four of them. Hilger uses such tools as a pocket knife, drawing knife, chisel and disc sander and creates out of such materials as myrtlewood and Port Or ford cedar. The violin has always been his favorite instrument, Hil ger explained. Mr. and Mrs. Hilger have lived in the Rogue River area for the past 22 years.

(Yreka Studio and Camera Shop Photo) Girl Scout Fund Drive Starts in Yreka Tuesday By DORIS ROBINSON Yreka - Tomorrow has been proclaimed the opening day of a drive for funds to support Girl Scouts in Yreka. Mayor Charles Cooley is sued a proclamation last week urging area citizens to support the drive. This is an annual inde pendent fund drive carried on by the adult volunteers in the West Siskiyou district. The sum needed is $2,500 to support Girl Scouting. There are 19 troops, 233 girls and 95 adult volunteers. A total of 136 girls attended Day Camp at Whispering Pines Camp and 24 girls are attending established camp at Lake of the Woods, while 71 adults volunteered their serv ices as unit leaders, assist ant leaders, etc. It takes money to form new troops and its costs money to recruit and train new leaders and to provide the best pro gram for girls. The girl scout camp is a vital part of scout ing and it costs over and above the fee charged each girl scout to maintain and operate camps. The Girl Scout Board of Directors determines the an nual budget and accounts for all expenditures. The Girl Scouts get 10 cents from each box of cookies they sell and the. same from their calendar sale. This money is used for day camp expenditures, while the drive is for operat ing costs.
