A MONDAY, NOVEMBEIl 26. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDKORD, OREGON Sams Valley PTA Plans Dec. 1 Event Regional Roundup by Clevo Twitchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor s The drive from Modford tt Grants Pass and return got a Jittle shorter last week with the opening of the freeway link between the Seven Oaks Interchange west of Central Point to the Crater Lake Inter change at the north end of Medford. Motorists can now gel an idea of what the trip from one city to the other will be like In years to come, since the freeway is virtually complete between them. Ail that re mains to be done, it appears, is to complete a bridge over the railroad tracks just west of the Seven Oaks inter change. Temporarily, two-way traffic shares one two-lane bridge at that point. It is a beautiful, modern drive. We got an idea of how fast a trip it has become the other night when we drove from Merlin, seven miles northwest of Grants Pass, to Medford. We recall seeing a clock that read 7:40 at a house in Merlin just before we left. When we passed the U.S. National bank temperature-time sign in downtown Medford, it Informed us that the hour was 8:15. That's 35 minutes for a 37-mile trip, as suming that the clock in Mer lin and the bank sign were somcwnat synchronized. We like the new Seven Oaks to Medford link of the free way especially. It offers a prettier view of the mountains and the Table Rocks than one gets from the old highway. Memories and Cobras When Priscilla Averill, our Grants Pass correspondent, read one of the ads last week promoting the "I Was Bitten by a King Cobra" story by William Haast in yesterday's "Family Weekly," it brought back memories, she reports. To be exact, it took her back Florida. "Regularly for some months," she recalls, "we re ceived a weekly letter from fc, SIGN OF THE TIME3 Open ing of new freeway link by passing Central Point prompt ed location of this new serv ice station near the freeway on Pine St..

"Well, he came, and he WAS good at overhauling air craft engines but he sure had a crazy hobby, snakes. We even felt sorry for li is wife, having to put up with snakes all over the place." The man's name, of course, was Bill Haast. "Now I finally Know what made him so anxious lo get to Miami," Mrs. Averill com ments, "what better climate for bringing up a family of tropical snakes?" ' Haast is now director of '.he Miami Scrpcntarium, which prompted Mrs. Averill to con clude, "II turns out that snakes were the real business at hand, and it's the aircraft engines that were the hobby!"
