Newspaper Page Text'8 B THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 8. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON By JOSEPH A. ST. AMANT United Prais International Los Angeles, IUPD - Richard M. Nixon expects to ride a trend toward Republicanism to a victory over Gov. Ed mund G. (Pat) Brown but at the same time he is not dis counting the strength of his Democratic foe. In the prime of life at 49 and brimful of vitality at a trim 170 pounds, Nixon, who loves a good political fight, said: "I'm going to run this cam paign like a sub-four-minute mile. We're making all our plans on the basis of a nip-and-tuck fight. With the tide running in our direction, we can pull ahead in the last three weeks." Nixon will need all the vi tality he can muster to meet the demands of his final cam paign which he will formally kick off in a scries of South ern California appearances on Sept. 12. 300 Appearances He expects to make eight to ten talks a day during the subsequent eight weeks of the campaign. On the basis of a Jive-day weeks, this would add up to .-imething like 300 appearances. In the primary campaign, he traveled more than 16,000 miles and was seen in person by some 750,000 people. He expects to better those figures In the final push. Nixon will attack what he calls "lack of leadership'' in atate government and "the mess" in Sacramento after al most four years of the Brown administration. He will stress these points: -"The amiable but bung ling man who presently is the governor of this state cannot clean up this mess for which he is partially and in many in stances substantially respon sible." -"Education has been short changed because of pay-offs for political boondoggling." -"Job openings are not keeping pace with the new Increase in population." -"I want California to be the first state in the quality of top-rate people we bring Into government and not in the quantity of second raters lor whom we make govern ment jobs." Nixon said he wants Call- xpects to Elide OP t j ?i RICHARD M. NIXON Loves Political Fight fornia to be first not only in population but also in the fields of government leader ship and economy, adding: "As far as Brown is con cerned, 1 have no personal an Imosity at all. Because of his quality of indecision, he leaves less of a definite im pression on me than almost any other political figure I know. Brown has not made on me - and I think not on the voters - any impression of personality . . . because of his failure to take decisive action and to create in the public mind any clear picture of what he is." Nixon feels that labor lead ers are trying to block his candidacy by keeping him from contact with rank-and me working people. It is a fact that he does not receive invitations to many, if any, la bor conventions. To combat this, he said he will go "over the head? of union bosses' and tour canneries, factories, and shopping centers and shake hands with as many people as possible. "I am deliberately leaving two to three hours a dny for person-to-person work," he said. "1 enjoy this sort of cam paign. You can't do it in presidential campaign - the country Is too big. I enjoy this WMmmiimwmm advantage over Brown - peo ple have no trouble recogniz ing me. I'm a television celeb rity - whether that's good or bad -and it makes my cam paign easier." Hold No Surprises The rigors of the campaign will hold no surprises for Nix on. An unknown political fig ure when he was elected to Congress in 1946, he has been through the mill the hard way as senator, vice president, and presidential candidate. He takes good care of him self, watches his weight and is abstemious in his personal habits to conserve his strength. He does not like to eat before making a speech and shuns the customary ban quet fare. He has a full din ner usually late at night in the quiet of his hotel room af ter the day's work is done. Work is a transcendent habit with him. A 16-20-hour day is normal, intimates say. He worked in his family's Whitticr grocery as a school boy and while he went to Whitticr College. He had never - up until a few years ago - known financial secur ity. He went to Duke Univer sity law school on a scholar ship and lived in a virtual shack and ate sparingly to make ends meet. Ignoring Foe Nixon began running against Brown in January, practically ignoring his major Republican foe in the primary, Joseph C. Shell. He feels he was right in not attacking Shell and em bittering a segment of the Re publican party. He expects to concentrate in the final campaign on pre dominantly Democratic areas. "One thing I've been encour aged by is that Republican strength is coalescing for me after a hard-fought primary," he said. "Now we can make an all-out fight for Democratic and independent votes as well as holding Republican votes." His campaign philosophy: "Run as if you're a million votes behind and be happy if you win by one honest vote."

(UPI) Cone Pickers Are Sought by Company For Area Harvest WA For Your Convenience & DOWNTOWN Savings Big Double load Washers II TH wunuumi -STEWART Cone pickers are needed In the southern Oregon area. Seed from cones gathered in southern Oregon forests will be used now for for re forestation of government tim ber lands, according to John Cameron, Seattle, chief for ester for Manning Seed com pany. "Our needs are unlimited," the seed company representa tive said yesterday. 'We have orders for 6.000 pounds of Douglas fir seed, 3,000 pounds of Ponderosa pine seed, 2.000 pounds of sugar pine and 500 pounds of western white pine." "Now I would estimate 25 people at the most are gath ering cones. We need many, many more," the forester said. "There are local buying sta tions throughout the area-at Huttc Falls, Ruch, Prospect Kirliy, Merlin and Tiller." Gathered By Hikers Half the cones gathered arc by people taking a hike through the woods. The rest arc gathered by professional cone pickers, according to Cameron. A professional pick er will earn $25 a day. 11 ) iNai Til's. iT T This summer I be published EVERY OTHER WEEK Yew will net receive Fomilij Weekly with yeiir newsi'dtvr next weekend WATCH FOR THESE FEATURES IN THE EXCITING SEPTEMBER 16th ISSUE "A Checkup on the I'rt'siuVnt's Health" by James C.

Firseed buys cones at $4 a bushel for Douglas fir, $2 a bushel for pine and pays even more for other varieties of forest tree seed, Cameron said. He estimated his firm, which has branches from Alaska to California, grosses Si's million annually from1 the sale of the processed for estry seed. Cone Dry-Kilned The cones are dry-kilned In large processing plant in Umpq.ua. The cones are threshed in a revolving drum to remove the seed. Then the wings are removed from the seed by an abrasive process. Finally the seed is cleaned in ' standard grain - cleaning ma chinery and sacked for sale. "This area (southern Ore gon) hns not had large com mercial collections as in northern Oregon and Wash ington," Cameron noted, "so ; It is virgin territory. Up north, j cone collecting Is a common occupation with 10.000 people collecting one to 100 sacks." "All people need is a gunny sack or sacks and good stout hiking boots or siloes," the for ester said. "At this time of year the cones have to be picked from trees. A little later the squirrels will gather them and drop many on the ground." Gathered By Squirrels Cones gathered by squir rels are Just as good if not better than the ones picked from trees. The squirrel is af ter the same quality we are. You might say he is our cheapest employee. We don't have to give him a salary or pay taxer on him, either," Cameron grinned. "One reason more cones arc not gathered here is due to the usually hot, dry weather which tends to split many of them open as they hang on the trees. But climbing the smaller trees is not difficult and they tend to have heavier cone crops than the larger trees," Cameron said. He nrged all potential cone pickers to get permits for picking on government lands and the land-owner s permis sion for cone picking or gath ering on private lands. Trees climbed should not be limbed or mutilated, he cautioned Trend to Victory in Gali forma Wmm aara mmm ear kea kar 0900rttt&00t0900&0&GQ0Gf0&mi ..mmumwmmmJmtKt ft mrn'l'riifhljT'iaWa hi iaWaalAAAA AkbSSaMAiCMMH I, ; 'Sv J"'' hii' VNS r POUND VIRGIN T, 8fo S ' I"ih llll 1 1, $1 2(5) g I I T.n JKTSii j I Camper's Special! l I I " U t II III 8 WRST W4TCH High-quality windproof, MMA rklt V y H Ik ill iSIOftg I M ;;;ri,,'"t ""P11- now only , AND GET 1 I I 'Sti,'lw.!,l'!
