MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate 1962) The 111 Wind That Blowi Produces Good for Soma The person who said, "It's an ill wind tht blows nobody good" must have been familiar with that group of ardent folks who search the seashore. To them, after the blow, comes the harvest. Of course, it is of no con cern to the shell collector that millions of small marine ani mals were destroyed by the storm. Mollusks. ripped from their home on the ocean bot tom, rolled and buffeted until at last they were cast up on a beach to die in the sun and the drying air. If the storm was severe the amount of ma rine life will be enormous, often piled in windrows for miles and containing a galaxy of oceanic life. Browse Among Litter Tlie collector of marine oddities browses in this litter, selecting, rejecting, studying and gathering. He may be searching for some specific form of shell life, or he may be willing to collect anything strange or unusual. The sea has brought in other things besides seashells. There will be a hodge-podge of water-logged objects great and small; all are carefully ex amined by those who walk the beaches. , If the storm was severe there were those who suffered loss of property or even loss of life. Such storms should make us realize that man plays a secondary role in nature's scheme of things. We build our homes or our buildings closer and closer to the edge of the sea, entirely overlooking the power of wind, tide and wave. They are many times great er than man's ability to con trol. If those mighty forces are arrayed against us, we ex perience damage and even loss of human lives. For some strange reason we refuse to admit that man, or nations of men, puny and weak when pitted against the forces that, at times, can be arrayed against him. Because we can look out across the tranquil, blue wa ters of an ocean on a blight and sunny day, we feel secure. We look at trees or buildings that may have stood undam aged for many years, and we say to ourselves, "these things have endured, why shouldn't they continue? If they sur vived all this time, we would be safe in building here." The Eternal Winner It is a rather shocking thought, when we finally gel it in our mind, that Nature always wins in the end. It may be days, weeks, months or even years, but sooner or later the forces, greater than we can comprehend, are arrayed and man and all he has built must face the storm. It is said that the rainbow arched across the sky is a promise of fair weather. So too, does the sun shine after the storm. What havoc had been wrought, man attempts to repair, to build anew, stronger perhaps than before, or more sensibly located. What was havoc for the many, may have been a har vest for those few who seek the treasures cast up by the sea. In the meantime Nature arrays her forces, may smile kindly for a while or may frown or become angry at man's attempt to be master of all he surveys. Each individual, according to his needs or temperament, looks with fear or a mild pleasure: some to reap a pe culiar harvest, others to re pair the havoc. "It's still an ill wind."

Willapa Project Slated for Study Portland - OJPD - The Bureau of Reclamation will under take an immediate study of the proposed Willapa project in Washington state's Pacific county, the Interior Depart ment said today. The multiple-purpose proj ect will be investigated with funds advanced by the Area Redevelopment Admini s t r a tion. It would involve storage on either the south fork or main stem of the Willapa river which flows into the Pacific in the general vicinity of Ray mond and South Bend. The storage would provide supplemental irriga t i o n to about 1.000 acres. In addition the project also would include benefits to fish and wildlife and to pollution control which would be helpful to the oyster industry, the interior depart ment said. Physical Fitness of American Men Discussed at Roundtable TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27. 1962 The problem of physical fit ness in the American male was discussed at the Monday noon meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Roundtable by the director of physical edu cation at the Medford YMCA. The speaker, Ben Jensen, a Medford resident since last June, humorously depicted several types of men who con vince themselves, through var ious subterfuges and d e 1 u- sions, that they are physically fit. He characterized the "week end athlete," who after a burst of activity on Saturday and Sunday, is too tired to go to work Monday; the sagging, ex high school sports star, who still thinks he could run with the boys if he wanted to; the successful businessman, who is just "too busy" to stay in shape; and the man who owns a variety of exercise equip ment, but who never uses any of it. Ask Questions One should make an ap praisal of his own physical condition, the speaker advis ed, by asking himself certain questions: Can I still perform physical activities that I could do when I was 25? Has my chest slipped? Can I run as far as I used to be able to? Do I feel as well physically as I used to? "If you aren't satisfied with your answers," the speaker suggested, "you probably should start some kind of con ditioning program." Jensen warned against "try ing to do it by yourself." In dividual fitness programs sel dom last beyond a few short months, he said. He advised such a program be built around group partici pation, and that the efforts be centorcd on a sport which the individual finds enjoyable and interesting. Basic Requirements Whatever sport the Individ ual chooses, Jensen said, it should have certain basic re quirements and effects to in sure that it will help produce beneficial results. The speaker advised choos ing a sport or activity that can be enjoyed the year around, rather than one that is season al or dependent on weather conditions. The sport should be one that leaves the participant "breathless" so that his lungs have a chance to develop. It should also give a man such a "good workout" that he is tired when he is finished, Jen sen said. The speaker offered a three part definition of good physi cal fitness: 1. a body free from disease; 2. Heart, lung and muscle tone of sufficient qual ity to enable a man to do a day's work with case, and 3. A mind that can relax quickly and forget business worries. Jensen drew attention to a men's conditioning class that is being started at the YMCA. The class will meet on Tues days and Thursdays from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Applicants may en roll in the class by purchasing a membership in the YMCA. Annual dues are $35. The class will offer organ ized physical conditioning ex ercises, followed by workouts in sports of the individual's own preference. Each class member is free to set his own pace, Jensen emphasized, and to develop at his own rate of speed. The class will be run con tinuously from now on, the director said, and members may enroll and attend at their convenience. Couple Here Named As Temple Sponsors Persons interested in learn ing more about "The Temple of Understanding," called the "Spiritual United Nations," may contact Mr. and Mrs. A. A. McComack, 724 West 11th St., Medford for information, telephone 773-5790. Started in 1959 by a woman in Greenwich, Conn., the pur pose is to "widen the horizons of men's minds; the function, to further, through education in the major religions of the world, man's awareness of his essential brotherhood." Plans arc under way to erect a temple in Washing ton, D. C, which will have six wings radiating from a center hall. Each wing will represent one of the six re ligions of the world-Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Con fucianism, Christianity, and Islam. Those chapels, designed in accordance with the re quirements of the religion, will not be used for worship, but to illustrate the mode of worship of the particular religion.
