Fireman's Ball Set Sept. 21 To Help Buy Fire Equipment Eagle Point The Eagle Point Volunteer Fire depart ment is sponsoring a benefit fireman's ball Friday, Sept. 21, to help buy equipment for its new fire truck. Eddie Dahack is donating his Oasis Ballroom located on the main entrance road to Eagle Point or the south end of South C st. for the dance. The Dixie Drifters dance band will furnish music for dancing from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. It has been impossible for the Eagle Point Fire depart ment to aid in fire fighting of any kind outside the city limits in the past. Several seri ous fires, some involving busi nesses, have resulted in calls for help from the immediate Upper Applegate Grangers Have Picnic Applegate Valley - Mr. and Mrs. Willis Scott were hosts to Upper Applegate Grange members and friends at a community picnic held at the Scott ranch on Little Apple gate Sunday.

This truck will make fire protection in these fringe.areas possible when it is not in use by the city itself. During the past year the op portunity to purchase a -ton four-wheel drive Dodge truck through surplus proper ty was taken advantage of. The volunteer firemen and city employees have spent many hours installing a new motor, converting it into a fire truck complete with a full set of grass fire fighting equip ment and other equipment to make it a standard fire truck. At present the truck is equipped with a 169 gallon water tank but water can be pumped out of either a ditch or from a fire hydrant. Two one and a half and two five eighth inch hoses were install ed with the latter eventually being changed to three-quarter inch hoses. New Paint A new coat of bright red paint was added to match the other fire truck, and the new truck is now used as the No. 1 truck. Due to its ability to reach almost any fire spot more easily it is the first truck called out and has been called out three times this summer. Two of these fires were out side the city limits. Volunteer firemen will be starting their rounds this eve ning of the entire city and fringe areas in their new truck to show it to the residents and ask their support for the needed equipment through the purchase of tickets to the ball at one dollar apiece. The department hopes to make enough to purchase a new pump, hose and reel for the truck as well as o t n e r equipment. AUTOMOTIVE SPECIALS H. D. OIL 29 qi. 10-30 OIL 39 or INSPECTION 1855 501 I.

FREE PARKING Regional Roundup by Cleve Twitchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor When people think of the word '"judge" they usu ally visualize an elderly gentleman in a black robe sitting behind a large bench. But like rural area police officers who frequently operate as one-man departments, there 'are rural area judges whose lives are quite dif ferent from their big-city counterparts. Take Eddie Heim, who owns and operates the Tal ent Feed store, for instance. Visitors at the feed store might be surprised to learn that he is the judge of the Phoenix Municipal court. He spends most of his time behind the counter at the feed store or out at the 25 acre cattle ranch he operates. But every Wednesday night at 8 o'clock, Heim holds forth as municipal court judge in a room at the Phoenix city hall, dressed not in a black robe but rather in a business suit and necktie. Some Unusual Hours In addition to the Wednesday night sessions, which average an hour and a half in length, Heim also holds court on occasion at some rather unusual hours. A few weeks ago he was called out at 9:30 p.m. when a driver from Idaho was stopped by Phoenix Police Chief John Atchison for violation of basic rale. The Idaho man called up his attorney long distance and proceeded to give the officer a bad time. Heim held court immedi ately and informed the out-of-stater, "If you were an Oregon driver I'd suspend your license. But since you're from out of state, that'll be S25, please." Heim has even held court at 4 a.m. The early morn ing session occurred when Chief Atchison stopped three teen-agers from British Columbia "They had been giv ing the officer a bad time," Heim recalled, "but after talking to the judge they changed their pleas to guilty and changed their attitudes." Phoenix officers sometimes bring violators to the Talent Feed store in the middle of the day if they want an immediate hearing. Most of the persons who come before him are from the Rogue valley, and 90 per cent of them are coopera tive, Heim says. "Of course, they say lots of things to the police officer that they don't say to the judge," he adds. Violation of basic rule (speeding) and disobeying stop signs are the two most frequent offenses. Being Good Sports Speaking of the Phoenix police, we'll have to hand it to them they are sporting when it comes to lying in wait for traffic violators. The Phoenix car usually sits in front of the Sleep Shop on the north side of Phoenix, right about where the 45 mile per hour zone ends and 30 mile per hour begins. The car is easy to notice, especially at night when the luminous letters "Phoenix Police" can be seen several hundred feet away. Consider the above in contrast with police officers I remember in California who would hide their cars in such a way that they could not be seen until the passing driver had already gone by. While we recognize that there are some motorists who simply cannot be taught the importance of obeying speed limits unless they are caught in the act, we do feel that hidden police cars breed more contempt for the law than they do respect. On the other hand, the simple appearance of a well-marked police car either in traffic or by the side of the road has a remarkable effect on slowing traffic down. At least it has that kind of effect on us. Labor Day Hobby Show Prize Winners Announced Illinois Valley There were 20 different divisions in the Labor Day hobby , show at Cave Junction.

A bid on a new 1,000 gallon pumper had been submitted to the council two months ago, but last week councilmen determined to put off pur chase of the truck pending further study of financing problems. In other matters at last week's meeting, the council decided to have two 1,000 gallon pumps installed in con nection with the city's new water tower instead of the original plan, which called for three pumps, of 1,000, 750 and 350 gallon per minute ca pacities respectively. Southern Pacific railroad officials acquainted council- men with plans to seek a gen eral cleanup of the area along the railroad tracks and Pine st.
