Trouble-Plagued
Freeway Project
ear Completion
Dunsmuir - Placing of con
Crete pavement on a six-mile
long Sacramento River can
yon section of Interstate High
way 5 seven miles south of
Dunsmuir has been started,
according to the California
Division of Highways.
As the pavement is being
laid, a battle with nature that
started in 1960 draws near a
successful climax.
"Work on this project com
menced in the summer of
I960,'" explained H. S. Miles,
district engineer, "and during
the heavy grading operations
many slides developed,"
"At one particular location
at the northerly end of the
project, the roadway cut slope
developed a serious crack
about 800 feet out from the
roadway centerline and about
500 feet above grade.
"This potential slide threat
ened the existing heavily j
travelled Highway 99, the ad-J

jacent Southern Pacific main
line tracks, and could have
caused a serious damming of
the Sacramento river," Miles
explained.
The problem was solved by
shifting the alignment of the)
new highway partially away
from the slide, moving the
railroad tracks and construct
ing a new channel for the
Sacramento river.
Material Moved
The paving operation will
continue for several weeks,
Miles said, and after the re
quired curing period, traffic
will be routed over the new
four-lane pavement, while the
remaining work, mostly mi
nor, is completed.
The freeway was scheduled
for completion late this year,
but a spring labor strike that
caused a loss of eight weeks
of work will force work to
continue into the spring
early summer of 1963, Miles
said.

The sudden passing of Orville Hamilton Sunday
was a severe shock to friends and neighbors here and
throughout the valley. Orville, as he was known by his
many friends, came to the Rogue valley with his par
ents when a young lad, went to grade school at Agate,
finished high school at Central Point, and started doing
farm work when in his teens.
Those who he worked for knew him to be a hard
worker, always insisting on keeping up his end of the
work. He worked sometimes as a laborer at the Modoc
orchard proving to be so efficient and trustworthy that
he was made superintendent of the company's hold
ings, which position he held at the time of his death.
Although he lead a very busy life, he always had time
to give advice and to help out any worthwhile project
in the community.
It has been our privilege to know him for many
years and we would say he was a quiet, pleasant person
who had opinions of his own, but never questioned the
right of others to their opinions.
He had high morals and was industrious, courteous,
and tolerent. His passing leaves a vacancy that will be
hard to fill. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to the family.
Which Side You On?
We met a man a few days ago who said he has read
in Tablets that our family was on both sides during
the Civil War, father in the Union army and mother's
people with the confederacy. He said since his parents
too were on different sides, he wanted to meet me.
During our conversation he said Negroes are just like
other people, some good, and others bad. Among other
things he told me was that his father was with Gen.
Sherman when he burned Atlanta, Ga. Then we told
him while they were burning Atlanta they burned our
grandmother's house on Peach Tree st. Sounds as if
we were fighting the Civil war over again, but we
were only reminiscing. Ex-General Walker, the would
be rabble rouser tried to bring back the rebellious
times, but they now have him locked up, which is
where he belongs in our opinion.
Val Ware Dies
Word has been received here telling of the death
of Val Ware, recently, at Long Beach, Calif. Mr. Ware
at one time was a resident here. He and his wife had (
a home on what is now Pumice lane.
Mrs. J. S. Richardson is expected to return home
Thursday, from Portland, where she went for a physical
check up.
Several from here attended the funeral of Mrs.
Flora Thomas at Medford, Thursday. Mrs. Thomas was
well known here, having lived here with her husband
for several years in a house on the Ed Taylor farm.
The new carrier on Mail route No. 2 is Howard
Schwab, of Central Point. He was appointed to fill the
vacancy caused by the retirement of Lewis Kilbourn.
Thought for the day Self preservation, is the first
law of nature.
District 6 Changes From
Six to Nine Week Period
Central Point - This year
school district 6 has gone from
a six weeks reporting period
to a nine weeks period.
Schools included in this
change are those at Gold Hill,
Sams Valley, and Central
Point.
Before this change was
made, extensive research was
conducted by supervisory per
sonnel of District 8 and by
teachers of the system. Sev
eral factors caused the de
cision to Join the many other
schools in the area which are
on the nine weeks reporting
period.
Most Important of these was
that more realistic units could
be prepared for the longer
period. Also, more time could
be devoted to actual teaching
because of fewer interrup
tions at the end of reporting
periods.
To insure that parents will
still be fully informed of the
progress of their children,
Crater High has initiated a
Hank
program of mandatory warn
ing slips.
This consists of sending de
tailed warnings of possible
failure at the end of the fifth
week of e' ch nine weeks re
porting period.
A nine weeks period also
allows the student the proper
time to do something about a
warning slip which he may
receive after the fifth week.
In the six weeks period, there
was Insufficient time left after
the warning slip was sent.
Teachers may also send
warnings to parents at any
other times they desire.
Charles Meyer, district B
superintendent, and his prin
cipals made this change of re
porting periods as a part of
their current upgrading of cur
riculum in the district.

Children, Adults Learn To
Ride Rope at Midway Arena
By MARY ALICE BRUSHA
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Central Point - Midway
Arena, located on Vilas rd.
near Central Point, is a center
of activity each Wednesday
and Sunday afternoon.
It is here that children as
well as adults are taught to
ride, rope and race horses,
under the expert training of
the owner of the arena,
Charles (Chuck) Poythress.
Chuck, a native of North
Carolina, came to Oregon
some fifteen years ago, first
settling in Coos Bay. Five
years later, with his wife El
eanor, and two children he
moved to the Rogue Valley.
Rewarding
AH four of the Poythress
family are equestrians and on
their 13 acre ranch anyone
can see that the many hours
they have spent with their
horses have been more than
rewarding.
Dollar, a five year old
quarter horse, is Chuck's fa
vorite. A red sorrel, he stands
16 hands high and is the one
Chuck rides when competing
in calf roping, racing contests
and for pleasure.
Chuck says, "For every
man there is one horse," and
to him Dollar is that one. He
said to replace him with an
other would be impossible.
On the ranch may be found
five quarter horses, and one
thoroughbred colt, and a well
kept stable for the horses he
takes for boarding from time
to time.
Not only does he teach rid
ing, roping and racing, but he
is a breeder of horses as well.
At this time. Chuck is teach
ing a group of youngsters to
rope. His son, Gary, 14, and
daughter. Sharon, are equally
interested in the sports and
the many opportunities it af
fords Ihe boys and girls to
compete in contests held in
the arena as well as with other
roping clubs in Oregon and
neighboring states.
The special contests are
highly competitive and af
ford cash prizes to the win-
,1 ,. ...ill mn,,a Ik.
ners, competing in such sports custom, vnui.ii win
as calf roping, barrel racing, I roping stock to Grants Pass, to
team roping and father and the rodeo grounds, but tho

This winter, as is the usual 1 here.
