Newspaper Page TextJ . i 4 B Regional Roundup by Cleva Twitched Mail Tribune Regional Editor The sight of snow on Rogue Valley mountain tops and the nip that has been in the air for the past week serve as reminders that it's about time to haul out the tire chains. The approach of winter brings discomfort to some, but along with the cold and the rain and snow come some beautiful sights. We marveled at the sight of snow hanging from the branches of the pear trees short ly after our arrival here last December, and at the beauty of "frozen fog" clinging to the branches of trees above Ashland last February. We caught our first close up glimpse of snow of the season late last week when we went over the Siskiyou summit down to Ml. Shasta. Although there was little roadside snow that day, a thin blanket covered the trees near the top like Christmas decorations on a mass scale. Mt. Shasta, of course, has a heavy covering of snow quite far down the sides now. We were fortunate to have made the trip on one of those days when there was more clear blue sky than clouds up above. Shasta was clothed in clouds some of the time, but every once in a while the clouds would part enough to afford a glimpse of the snow white peak. Notes From Protptcl When Velda Barr, our Prospect correspondent, was at Sacred Heart hospital with a broken leg some months ago, she received a cute piece of poetry which was ap propriate to the occasion. It was later published in this column. A week ago today, the author of that little poem passed away. Her name was Portia Struck, wife of Paul Struck. 'She had been ill for a long time." Velda writes, "but she always sent poems and notes to people who were in need of cheer. Everyone loved her and all the people of Prospect will miss her." The Strucks had recently moved to Medford. Recollections in Phoenix The grand opening of the Phoenix Mart last Saturday brought back memories for our Phoenix correspondent, Bertha Hanscom. "The first time I saw this store many years ago, it was called the Phoenix Mercantile," she recalls. "It was operated by Andrew Hern and Harry Reams. It housed the post office, which was handy. Get your groceries and mail at the same time. I remember the good peanut but ter that tasted like peanuts. It was spooned from a con tainer into ice cream cartons, and pickles were dipped from a burrel into these same cartons. "You could buy yard goods, button hooks, fancy lace, corset laces, well just about anything one needed. One corner of the store was for shoes, men's overalls, cover alls and shirts. Some of the shoes were high button; some the light tan color so popular at that time. I believe the big wood stove stood about the center of the store and folks standing around it felt its warmth while wait ing for the mail to be distributed. I believe the most cherished memory was the bag of candy given to the children when the parents paid their bill. It's good to remember." Some Traveling Advice Genevieve Briggs, our Wildervlllo correspondent, re ports, "If you are planning on going south with the birds you had best find out where you are going to light be fore taking off." Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz, are bulging with winter vacationers as are Palm Springs and other resort areas, she says. It appears thai some of the vaca tioners who normally would go to Florida have headed west because of the uneasy Cuban situation.

MEDFORD MAIL Regional News O'Brien May Get Federal Funds for Sulphide Refinery By LETHA COOK Mail Tribun Correspondent O'Brien - The Small Busi ness administration has made available to the Southern Oregon-N o r t hern California Chrome Producers association a half million dollars for the construction of a sulphide re finery fr the purpose of ob taining sulphuric acid, if it can be proved to its satisfac tion that there are sustantial sulphides in the area con cerned. The sulphuric acid would be used with cyanide in a series of processes for the retriev ing of minerals such as chrome, gold, silver, copper in sulphide ores, a feat which until recently has been impos sible. This report was brought be fore members of the associa tion by Bruce Manley and Col lins McClendon at a meeting in O'Brien Nov. 16. Manley, a Medford lawyer, and McClendon, of Crescent City, stated that at least a million tons of 30 per cent to 40 per cent sulphide ore, available here, would justify the loan considered by the SBA. Central Point Lions Host Zone Meeting Central Point - Andrew Hamstra of Butte Falls, zone chairman for the regional Li ons clubs, conducted the pro gram for the Lions zone meet ing held recently in Central Point.

MEDFORD, OREGON It was also stated that such by-products as gold, silver and copper would be retriev able because they would be contained by the sulphide ores used to obtain the sul phide. President of the Chrome Miners association, Eugene Brown of O'Brien, owner of High Plateau Mining com pany, made a report of his in vestigation on the feasibility of a ferro chrome plant and quoted a reasonable rate from Pacific Power and Light for power to run such a plant. Samples of sulphide ores were displayed at the meet ing. Men interested in chrome and other minerals were ask ed to report any located sul phide deposits to cither of the three men, Brown, McClen don or Manley so they could be added to the record to help meet the amount required for this loan.

District 9 Program on Special By DOTTIE HARBISON Eagle Point In keeping with the Special Education Week, two speakers appeared before the District 9 School board recently to discuss the Special Education program in Jackson county and in the Eagle Point district. This was the first in a series of special programs planned for the board by Assistant Su perintendent Robert Work to acquaint the board with the curriculum program of t h e district. Jackson County Special Ed ucation Director Fred Buehl ing outlined the programs now being used in the county that must cover the wide field of special education needed. A child is placed in the spe cial education classes only with the parents' consent. The special classes cover difficul ties ranging from physically handicapped, speech irregular ities, illnesses, reading diffi culty, mental retardation and brain damage as well as many other needs, he informed the board. Special education teach ers, specifically speech and' reading teachers, are very hard to find. Buehling broke the special education classes into two di visions: the educable retarded youngster who has an IQ high enough to be helped along with his studies, and many times can rejoin his classmates in school work; and then the trainable youngster who must be trained to specific jobs, adaptability to society situa tions and his responsibility to accepting jobs, society and ev ery day living. "About 2Vi per cent of the nation fits into the special education picture," Buehling noted. Buehling stressed the im portance of teaching these stu dents now so they will not have to be supported by taxes and welfare later on. Only one program is offered for youngsters out of the ele mentary grades and that one is proving to be a huge suc cess. This program being of fered, at Crater High school, teaches youngsters actual ex perience in all fields of work from homemaking to special job training according to the youngsters' abilities. On the job training experi ence is linked with problems around this particular job to teach them arithmetic and oth er regular classroom studies. Included in some of these pres ent job training programs are janitor work, shop work, rock work, farm work, cashier ; TURN I ;. j, j , J, Jj :! U if il !: H IT WOULD BE TOUGH DRIVING WITHOUT School Board Sees work, typewriting and various others. Coffee breaks are used to teach the youngsters the value of time and necessity of tak ing the proper amount of time out instead of wasting a half hour or more on a coffee break. Buehling noted that these youngsters would be watched, criticized and fired first and therefore must learn all angles to make their job both lasting and easier. Buehling told the school board that he has received high praise and congratula tions on the work Mrs. Anne Briggs is doing in the Eagle Point School district with her special education students. Mrs. Briggs presented a sample of her reading pro gram, in which something of importance is copied on a chart for the youngsters to copy, learn by sight, and then break down into sentences and individual words.

She noted the game such as word Bingo, flash cards, and word building used to teach, them both reading and s (Jell ing before they go on into their regular reading books and workbooks. She explain ed how they make maps and traced the routes youngsters had been on during their va cations and wrote about it. ' Some of the students sha had last year have gone into their regular classes this year. Some are in the advanced class, and some are still with her but in all cases they ara just as happy now as any oth er child their own age. It is estimated that within the next two years, Eagla Point will have enough young sters to need a special educa tion program in its own high school. FIFTH AND BARTLETT 772-6185 HURRY! HURRY!!
