"The wind whipping the
pears around is bound to do
some damage even if the fruit
hangs on the trees," one or
chardist said. "This is particu
larly true of Cornice and
Bosc. Winter Nellis is a short
stubby fruit and might not
suffer from bruises and punc
tures as much," he explained.
Local growers have wired
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.)
to have the federal school
lunch program as proposed
for bears broadened. The pres
ent governmental offer to buy

the minimum size would not
help the local Bartlett surplus,
it was explained.
Morse has been asked to
contact Under Secretary of

to request 180's and larger
and fancy grades be included.
A delegation of Pacific Coast
fruit shippers and representa
tives had met with Murphy
earlier to request the federal
assistance.

Water Released
By Irrig. District
Talent Irrigation district
Saturday released water from
Emigrant lake following the
storm Friday, according to
Walter Hoffbuhr, Talent Irri
gation district manager.
"We need a cushion for the
usual stormy period after
January," Hoffbuhr said. "We
have to pro-rate the inflow
starting in October and run
ning through April when the
irrigation season starts.
Hoffbuhr noted that Emi
grant has 6,000 more acre
feet of water now than it
should have under the month
ly pro-rated schedule. It had
30,000 acre feet late Friday,
and the reservoir capacity is
39,000 acre feet.
Some open ditches have
come close to running over,
but lulls in the storms during
the week helped prevent this,
Hoffbuhr said. He noted a
little problem at Howard
Prairie lake where trees
were blown over and trash
collected on the grates of col
lection canals. All streams
are running about the same
as at the peak of the runoff
period last winter, he sam.
Jack Hoffbuhr, Medford
Irrigation district manager,
reported by radio to his of
fice on Barnett rd. that trees
were faliing or had fallen
around Fish lake. He returned
from the Fish lake area by
cutting fallen trees with a
power saw.

Rogue River National for
est crews continued efforts
late Saturday and today to
clear mountain roads of fal
len trees to free stranded
hunters.
Forest service officials said
they knew of at least two par
tics in the Prospect area
stranded because of Friday
afternoon's strong wind and
rain storm. How many more
hunters may be stranded in
the mountains is not known,
officials said.
Friday's storm was the
most serious storm exper
ienced in Rogue River Na
tional forest in many years,
according to Robert Torheim,
staff officer.
Considerable damage re
sulted from trees being blown
down, and all telephone lines
in the forest were knocked
out. Union Creek had no
power or telephone lines, Tor
heim said. Some buildings
were damaged and a trailer
at Union Creek was destroyed
by falling trees.
Some summer homes in the
Union Creek area were dam
aged, he said.
The forest service said
crews working in the Ashland
watershed in an effort to pre
vent excessive water runoff
on roads, and other places.
All roads in the Fish lake
area were closed by blown
trees, and there is a consider
able amount of blown down
timber in the Applcgate dist
rict, Torheim said.
Forest service crews are
working 24 hours a day in an
effort to restore communica
tions in the forest and clear
roads, he added.
Recognizance flights are
planned over the forest early
this week, Torheim said, to
survey damage from the
storm. Salvage operations will
start immediately, he added,
to remove downed and dam
aged timber as quickly as pos
sible to help prevent disease
and insect infestations.

For Rescue Brigade
Costa Mesa, Calif. - IUPII -
Richard M. Nixon Saturday
said his opponent had called
on the "greatest rescue bri
gade in the history of Ameri
can politics" by inviting
Washington dignitaries to
California.
Nixon told a rally at the
Orange County Fairgrounds
that Gov. Edmund G. Brown
"now sees that his campaign
cannot get off the ground.
His crowds are small and
there is no enthusiasm in his
camp."
The former vice president,
attempting to unseat the
Democratic incumbent, said
Ihe 7 out of 10 U.S. Cabinet
members invited to California
were "welcome to our fair
climate . . . but they are not
going to be able to stay
around and run the State of
California."
Nixon also accused Brown
of backing down on the is
sues. 'It is time for him to fight
his own battle like a man
rather than to leave the fight
ing to his mercenaries ... it
is time for him to debate the
issues of California," said
Nixon,

PP&L Expected lo
'Mop Up' Failures
By Lale Saturday
Pacific Power and Light
company officials in Medford
expected to have everything
"mopped up" by 6 p.m. Sat
urday.
Only lines still expected to
be out were the upper section
of Elk Creek and a length of
line about five miles beyond
Butte Falls.
"We feel quite ' .'cky we got
off with the damage we did
sustain. Because of the type
of storm it was, we could
have had double the damage,"
a PP&L official said.
Power company officials
possibly got the first effects
of the storm about noon Fri
day when service went out
along lines between Crescent
City. Calif., and Grants Pass.
A redwood tree about six feel
in diameter fell across lines)
along that route, but did not
break the lines.
PP&L officials estimated
about 100 customers through
out the county were out of
service about 8 a.m.. Satur
day. Crews were out all night
Friday, and some were still
out Saturday afternoon.
Following the storm be
Iween 1 and 3 p.m. Friday,
power went out for about 3
thousand customers through
out the valley.
"The tree problem was our
big problem," a power com
pany official said. "We didn't
have a lot of broken wires on
our main distribution circuits.
A few poles were down. Out
ages varied in different locations."
