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.

mean it.
Sleven L, Let's assume he
was sincere. Let's show up.
Jerome C I have better

mate who said. "Let's get to

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.

Judge Coakley spoke In
Yreka two weeks ago and
charged that Mosk has pro

or declared that groups brand

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

made during his term as at

Miss Buscombe made her

New York on the SS Seven

Poor Weather
The local girl says the
weather has been miserable,
even the Danes are complain
ing. She has been introduced
to many Danish customs, sites
and people. The foods most
commonly used are soft boiled
eggs, jam and Jelly, pig's
heart and head-cheese. Most
foods are smothered In onions,
she reports.
The Danish family has a
television set and the pro
grams are for the most part
English movies, but the Dan
ish programs are much more
enjoyable, especially one
about a Danish family called
"The Flintstones," according
lo the student.
Miss Buscombe has traveled
throughout Denmark lo places
such as Copenhagen, Tivoll

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.
LePinieci Instrumental
Mrs. Marcel LePinicc, Ap
plegate representative of the
Jackson county parks and rec
reation commission, has been
instrumental in directing the
garden club project. LePiniec,
well known botanical author
ity, classified the flowers, and
the pages were labeled by
Mrs. LePiniec.
The possibility of an even
tual statewide program of
wild flower displays through
out the national forests in
Oregon is noted in a commu
nication from Carl h. 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

Other areas suggested for
display were Lake of the

Ranger Suttell said that
such a collection of wild flow

He referred to the Siskiyous

of the area are a choice collec

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

to make Miller lake in the
Slurges Fork region a wilder

more and more were made. The more of them made, the
