Annual Convention Of Health Group To Be Held in Medford The 45th annual conven tion of the Oregon Association lor Health, Physical Educa tion and Recreation will open here Thursday, Nov. 29, and continue through Saturday. The conference will consist of a variety of section sessions and general meetings. Con vention theme is "Down to Earth in the Space Age." Medford hotel will be con vention headquarters. Meet- In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From the Salem Statesman: "The Department of Agri culture operates an experi mental farm at Belisville, Maryland, near Washington. Right at this Turkey Time it is reported that scientists at this farm have produced FA THERLESS turkeys, also grandfatherless.'1 "The reproduction was ob tained by the process of parthenogenesis, such as is common in insects and worms. We have an idea, however, that the stalely turkey gob bler will be around for a long time." Tlmiiimmmmmmm. Fatherless turkey would admittedly be a curiosity, but let's talk -bout something a little more practical. How about the 70-pound turkeys the scientists say they will be able to produce before very long; And the 100 pounders that are expected to come along somewhat la ter, as the scientists get more expert at the job of producing bigger and better birds? PROBLEM: How would one go about roasting a 100-pound turkey - and, after one got the mon ster roasted, how would one go about the job of getting it onto the table? Imagine carry ing a 100-pound turkey in from the kitchen and setting it in front of the head of the house to be carved! AND- Think how long the leave-overs would last! By the lime the average family had picked all the bones of a bird of thai size, the idea of ever tasting turkey again would be a revolting one. One sometimes wonders if these scientists aren't getting out of their depth - or at least out of our depth. rpHIS parthenogenesis busi-- neps brings up another problem. It has to do with a mongoose that was brought back from India by a return ing seaman and presented to the Duluth zoo - where it promptly became popular -like Elephant Belle and her baby in the Portland zoo. They named it Mr. Magoo, and the story goes that Mr. Magoo has become quite the sensation of the Duluth zoo. Everybody loves him. At this point, the plot thick ens. It appears that there is a law against mongooses in the U.S.A. The mongoose is a small animal about '.he size and shape of a mink that lives in Africa and southern Asia - especially in India, where it is highly esteemed because of its fondness for cobra wakes as an article of diet. It is also fond of rats and such. But it has a voracious appetite, and as soon as it has polished off all the rats and snakes in the neighborhood it goes to work on poultry, ground-dwelling wild birds and other beneficial small animals. It also -obs birds' nests of eggs and young. And it reproduces VERY rapidly. When a Mr. and a Mrs. Mon goose are turned loose, the first thing anybody knows the neighborhood is fairly crawling with mongooses. BRIEFINC When t G the story - the U S. Fish and Wildlife Service heard of Mr. ! Magoo, it decreed that he had I tn go. A law is a law. But Duluth's zoo-goers raised a technicality. Mr. Magoo, they contended, is a bachelor, and there are no Miss Magoos around who might become Mrs. Magoo. With no Mrs. Magoo there could be no off spring, the argument ran. The Fish and Wildlife people saw the point and agreed to let Mr. Mngoo stay as long as he stayed alone. IT VI f parth i'AS at this poin' that parthenncencsi.1 entered the picture. The dictionary de fines par'henogensis as "re production by the develop ment of an unfertilized egg " What if. by parthenogensif. a Miss Magoo might be pro duced, who might become Mrs M igoo. In that event, the fat would be in the fire - and goodness only knows what might happen to u if lot of lillle Masons g"t Ioop in the land It'n a weird world wc rc living in, isn't It I ings will be held there, at Medford High school and at Rogue Valley Country club.

McClcllan (D-Ark.) feels compassion for college athletes who are the targets of corrupters - and he singles out for praise a University of Oregon halfback who put the finger on a big-lime gamble who tried to bribe him to fix a football game. In a new book, "Crime Without Punishment," the chairman of the Senate Per manent Investigatin,; Com mittee relates thai in 1961 Michael Bruce, an Oregon Bruce, an Oregon star, testi fied that he was approached by a gambler Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal with a $5,000 bribe offer to see that Oregon lost to Michigan by eight points instead of six. Bruce pretend ed to accept the offer, report ed it immediately to his coach, but Rosenthal eluded Michi gan authorities who sought to question him. Rosenthal was never prose cuted in Michigan. Early this year he was in1:cted in North Carolina on a charge of at tempting to bribe a New York University basketball playc to shave points in c national tournament game against West Virginia at Charlotte. Harsher Penalties Wanted Unless attempts to fix games cease, McClellan fa vors legislation lo slap "harsh er penalties" on gamblers man the "short jail term. and nominal fines wnk'h they now hazard when they at tempt tneir briberies. In spite of fines and sentences, these criminals have actually com mitted crimes that go without punishment - for what penal ly severe enough can the courts of the land assess upon a man who has ruined a young man's career, and in deed, his entire life?" The guilt lies not only with the gamblers, continues Mc Clellan, nor with the young athletes who are tempted to accept the gamblers' money "It must be shared by all the rest of us who continue to tolerate illegal gambling on sports and who do not pro test when the leading news papers of the country publish in daily prominence the 'line' and the 'point spread' and the 'early odds.' It must also be shared by some educational systems that outrageously subsidize young men who will engage in school sports," de clared the senator. Sources Outside Colleges "Colleges go as far as of fering cash monthly payments for athletic participation or supplying their athletic stars with automobile; and luxuri ous apartments - all this done in clandestine fashion through sources outside the college proper, such as wealthy alum ni or prosperous local busi nessmen. There are too many unhealthy influences upon the young men, who aie urged overtly to olay hard in the spiri' of g'id sportsmans-hip. while at the same time they are surreptitiously paid in professional fashion for sup posedly 'amateur' perform ances," McCli'llan wrote.

McClellan said gasps of horror came from academic circles and the public over the revelations of the basket ball bribe scandals and the dramatic picture of Bruce pointing an accusing finger at Lefty Rosenthal in the com mittee hearings. "Realistically, there should be no horror, no shock. For the truth of the mat lor is, if our sports-minded academic institutions are willing to make clandestine payments to a boy for winning, when they and he both know tiny are violating the soirit of ama leurism, then vhy shomd any body be horrified when a gambler pays him secre-.iy for losing?

The victim was Elodia Har ris. Deputies said Roger W. llockett, 22, told them the girl had been helping clean up his small rented home. Hockelt told officers the girl had picked up the .22 cal iber rifle from a corner of the living room and handed it to him. He said it discharged ac cidentally and she fell to the floor, shot through the head. Police said another young man, who lives with llockett in the home, was present at the time of the shooting. Friends of the family said girl graduated from Franklin High school in June. Hockett is an employee of the U. S.

"Fortunately for the future of sports in America, the overwhelming majority of our young athletes are honest; there is reason to believe that only a minute percentage of them would let a bribe at tempt go unreported. Certain ly a great many of the ar rests and prosecutions of re cent years can be attributed to boys of splendid character in every threatened sport who have listened to bribery offers and then have coop erated in the apprehension of the criminals, and that evil will continue as long as the nation tolerates it." Worker Guilty of Disturbing Peace Portland -IIIPU An employee of the Western Wirebound Box Co. was found guilty of disturbing the peace Monday because he had displayed an eight-foot long bull whip to pickets as he entered work last week. Employees of the company have been on strike for sev eral weeks, but operations have continued with super visory and non-striking per sonnel. Albert Thurman, 27, drew a suspended sentence of 180 days. Multnomah County Dis trict Judge Richard Burke lec tured both sides in the labor dispute. He said a greater de gree of caution is called for than in the average situation. Judge Burke said Thurman had suffered some provocation from pickets and testimony in dicated pickets had followed Thurman's wife home after she took him to work one morning.
