Plans Dec. 1 Event
Regional Roundup

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

to 1840 when she was secre
tary to an executive of Pan
American Airways in Miami,
an aircraft worker in New
Jersey who wanted a job with
Pan American In Miami. I'i
nally my boss said, 'Send for
him, if only lo save us irom
getting any more letters. Any
one who wants a job THAT
bad has got to gc good at it.
"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!"

Veterans' Claims
Being Reviewed
Yreka - Siskiyou County
Service Officer Howard K.
Cramer today stated veterans'
multiple sclerosis claims pre
viously filed but denied arc
now being reviewed under
provisions of a new law.
According lo Cramer, re
cently enacted Public Law 87
674 allows a 7-year presump
tive period rather than the
former 3-year period for pre
sumption of service connec
tion i n multiple sclerosis
among veterans. Accordingly,

rosis cases.
