Mosk Campaigns Nixon, Coakley 'Ambitious' Yreka - California state at torney general Stanley Mosk labeled his GOP opponent Judge Tom Coakley "a repre sentative, actively and finan cially of the Birch society" during a campaign visit to Siskiyou county Friday. Mosk spoke to about 40 persons at a dinner in the Yreka area Friday night and denied Judge Coakley's charges that laxity In law en Regional Roundup by Cleve Twitchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor The other day, we found out where the Jackson County Fairgrounds arc located. We had been sort of casually wondering where they were ever since we ar rived in the Rogue valley last December. We figure that since last Dec. 11 we have driven through the inter section of Stewart ave. and Highway 99, Just a few hundred feet from the fairgrounds, an average of twice a day. Figuring at twice a day, the number of times we have driven past the fairgrounds without realizing they were there comes to in excess of 500. By contrast, we have driven by the Josephine county fairgrounds near Grants Pass no more than 20 times, and the Siskiyou county fairgrounds near Yreka no more than four times, but we know very well where both of them are located. For our "discovery" of the Jackson counly fair grounds, we thank the Mail Tribune's farm editor, in whose car we happened to be riding when he stopped off there during the recent 4-H and FFA fair. Had we not been in that car at the right time, we'd still be won dering where the fairgrounds were. The above remarks are made not in an effort to be unkind but rather simply to point out the impression (or lack of it) the Jackson county fairgrounds give to a relative newcomer to the area. Fluoridation in Ashland If fluoridation goes through in Ashland this Novem ber, it will not affect the Lithia water, we learned the other day. We were curious about the fluoride content of the Lithia water, so we asked Ashland City Superin . tendent Elmer Biegel about it recently. He indicated that the Lithia water has a high content of natural fluoride, not far below the one part per million consid ered "safe." Ashland's regular drinking water, on the other hand, has virtualy no fluoride content at all, he said. We have come up with a solution to the fluoridation controversy. We propose that every city simply install two water systems with dual pipes for every home, one with fluoridated water, the other without. Which Is More Democratic Seriously, we wish there were some way that those who want fluorides in their water could have it without forcing it on those who don't. We had heard that persona who wanted fluoridated water could purchase the neces sary additives at drug stores and add it to their drinking water, so we checked with a Medford druggist to find out. He confirmed the fact that persons can buy fluoride at drug stores, but he said the amount they could buy without a prescription "wouldn't do them any good." Fluoridated water does not reduce tooth decay unless It is drunk over a period of years, he said, and then it only affects children between certain ages. So the fluoridation issue boils down to this as we see it: Is it more democratic to force those who want fluoridated water to go without it or to force those who don't want It to drink It? Whichever way the fluoridation elections in Med ford and Ashland go this November, it would seem to us that a bottler water company could do well in this area after the election, providing fluoridated water if fluori dation loses and providing unfluoridatcd water if the proposals win.

Jerome C The Invitation was too vague. He didn't mean it. Sleven L, Let's assume he was sincere. Let's show up. Jerome C I have better lhlngs to do with my time than turn up to spend an evening with a former class mate who said. "Let's get to gether some lime." That's no invitation. Steve and I will be hitch hiking through New England and he wants to be literal about Guy's remark when we reach Vermont. Guy and his family make maple syrup up there and It's probably Inter esting. But we barely know him. Those words don't mean anything. Everybody says something like that Just to get away. I'll bet he'd choke if we really showed up. We saw Guy two years ago at a reunion. We had to scratch our dizzy memories 1o recognize each other even then, five years after gradua tion from prep school. We're not that hard up for places to visit. Steven L. I want to put Guy on our Itlnearary. There's no time to write him first and make sure he meant it when he said, "Let's get together." I say lei's assume he did and head for his town. We can phone him when we get there. If he really doesn't want us around, he'll figure out a way to brush us off. Then our only problem will be lo find some other sugaring orchard lo visit.

In 'Good Shape' "Law enforcement is basic ally in good shape in Califor nia," Mosk proclaimed. In his talk the attorney general referred to Coakley and Richard Nixon, GOP can didate for governor, as "ambi tious, demagogic politicians." Interviewed by a Mall Trib- cr sometime" is a way of talking. Just like "See you in the funny-papers." People never get together "some time, but they do at a time agreed upon after mutual con sultation of calendars. "Let's get together some." when of fered as a parting expression, permits the party of the sec- ond part to mutter, "Let's not," as well as beam, "Yes. let's." So Steven must be prepared for a bit of shock on Guy's part when he learns that the boys took his way-of-talking literally. But Jerome, on the other hand, must be ready tor the shock of finding Guy, possibly, ecstatic over t lie drop-in and stop-in visit from two old classmates. In other words. Jerome Is right in feeling all polite so cial expressions don't mean "C'lnunna niy house." But he's wrong in Jumping to premature conclusions that all lightly offered Invitations arc insincere. Those he's interest ed in should be followed up. Life is too short to wait for the amenities, especially when he senses that the person who expressed a desire to see him again has much in common with him. Even if you feel too for ward, Jerome, follow a lead that looks stimulating. It won't bur. The worst Hint can happen is an occasional re buff or a false trail leading to flat nothingness. But th,e are hazards worth t-ikins. rallier than turning down all friendly gestures. Steven has the riulit an- ProHch to friendship and J.-r .Jerome's attitude that Guy wants no part of them is the negative one which will con tinue to repel new friends all through his life, and will dis une reporter before the din ner, he charged that Coak ley is a representative of the John Birch society and said he found it Ironic that the Birch society favors impeach ment of Earl Warren, who as Governor of California, or iginally appointed Coakley as Mariposa county superior court Judge. Judge Coakley spoke In Yreka two weeks ago and charged that Mosk has pro communist leanings. In Friday night's interview. j Mosk either denied connec i tions with leftist organizations or declared that groups brand ed by Coakley as pro-communist, such as the American Civil Liberties union, were "100 per cent American." Against Death The attorney general said that he, like Gov. Edmund G. Brown, favors the abolition of capital punishment for "many reasons." Coakley has come out in favor of retaining the death penalty. During his after dinner speech, Mosk outlined im provements he said had been made during his term as at torney general. These includ ed creation of a consumer fraud section to Improve pros ecution of con men of all sorts and a peace officers standards and training com mission to set minimum standards for police officers and to train them. Yreka Student Completes Trip To Denmark Soon Yreka - Kathy Buscombe, i senior at Yreka High school. is completing two months in Denmark this summer under the American Field Service exchange student program.

Applegate Garden Club Gives Flower Collection To By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Vallcy-A collec tion of 59 wild flower speci mens of the Applegate area, pressed and mounted in a loose-leaf binder by Apple gate valley garden club mem bers, was presented recently to Nell Suttcll, forest ranger in the Applegate district, for public display. The book is being put on e x h i b i tion at Dutchman's Peak lookout. This station, manned by Mr. and Mrs. Har old Von Stein, was selected due to the wide variety of flowers on the peak and sur rounding area, and the num ber of visitors to the peak. Half of the flowers shown in the book are found growing in the vicinity.

Brown of Medford, supervisor of the Rogue River National forest. He listed advisable locations for flower displays in the seven national forests. Locations in Rogue River National forest lands included Star Ranger station, Dutch man's peak, Prospect Ranger station, Union creek ranger station, and forest supervi sor's headquarters in Med ford. Other areas suggested for display were Lake of the Woods ranger station in Vvi nema National forest; Diam ond Lake information center in Umpqua National forest: and stations in Deschutes, Siuslaw, Willamette, and Wal lowa Whitman National for ests.

FIRST FOR QUALITY CHILDREN'S SHOES FROM laataViili LVfl SMWPJfcy m ua ma MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON tional forest heads followed suggestion from Mrs. LePin iec that garden clubs of Ore gon become interested in mak ing these wild flower dis plays. Perpetuates Interest Ranger Suttell said that such a collection of wild flow er samples assures identifica tion at all times, and perpet uates interest in this subject. He referred to the Siskiyous as possessing a botanical phe nomenon, in that the flowers of the area are a choice collec tion and display brighter col ors than most other areas. He said visitors to Dutchman's peak are close to the source of the flowers, and that such a collection would aid in re minding visitors not to aim lessly pick flowers. Suttell said that the Forest Service expects to place name tags on many of the trees, flowers and shrubs in the area, and that long range mul tiple use plans are under way to make Miller lake in the Slurges Fork region a wilder ness reservation of more than 700 acres where no road will penetrate closer than a quarter-mile from the area. A number of rare and record size trees grow there, includ ing incense cedar, McNab cy press, Brewer (weeping) spruce and orcaal oak.
