Regional Roundup

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.

Paved Highway From O'Brien
To Happy Gamp Not Far Off
By LETHA COOKE
O'Brien - A paved highway
from Happy Camp to Illinois
Valley is a possibility that
may become a reality in less
than three years.
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

ARA Act Discussed
At Yreka Meeting
Yreka N. W. C 1 a y t o n,
California-Nevada Area direc
tor of the Area Redevelop
ment Administration, met
with Siskiyou county indi
viduals and business represen
tatives to discuss local appli
cation of the act at a meeting
at the Yreka Inn at noon to
day. George Van Buskirk, chair
man of the Siskiyou County
Economic Development com
mission, said the Area Rede
velopment Act provides for
loans, grants, and technical
assistance to increase employ
ment in designated areas such
as Siskiyou county.
One firm has already an
nounced plans for an installa
tion in Happy Camp under
the ARA program which will
create at least 70 new jobs
and Van Buskirk said an ap
plication has been filed for a
loan to help finance a 57,100,
000 plant which would em
ploy 390 persons directly and
probably would create up to
a total of 1,000 new jobs
throughout the County.
O'Brien on a portion of road
known as Waldo road. Happy
Camp is shut off from Illinois

early spring because of snow

The Forest Service is also
surveying a road from Happy

cess, which when completed,
will come within V to mile
of Tannen Lake. Tannen is
3'4 miles from a parking area

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.

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.
