6 A MONDAY. DECEMBER 3. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Regional Roundup by CUve Twllchell Mali Tribun Regional Editor "If you were to travel on highway 62 from Prospect to Union Creek," reported Velda Barr, our Prospect corrcsondent, a few days bro, "you would see many small fires on each side of the road. You may wonder what is being done and by whom and the reason for same. "If you were to stop and ask the men what they are doing, they would tell you they are following instruc tions given by Emil Sabol, district ranger at Union Creek. And what they are burning and cleaning up is what the Oct. 12 storm caused. All the trees that were blown down or loosened by the wind are being cleaned up along the highway. The personnel employed by the govern ment through the forest service are working like beavers making small piles along the road and burning them. "The smoke from these fires on both sides of the road comes together overhead and makes one think he is entering a tunnel. "All this storm damaged limber is being cleared away as quickly as possible. Tractors with eleated tracks are not allowed, so the operation has to be done with rubber tired vehicles. No trees that are sound and solid will be touched, and the men taking care not to harm the beautiful scenery along this route that tourists as well as local people enjoy traveling. "At Union Creek ranger station, Mr. Sabol was kind enough to show me other places of Interest. Among them was the Muir Creek campground and the damage that was done there. Every table has been smashed by fall ing trees, but none of the fireplaces was smashed. This area is bclnf clearned up also. Men were working burn ing brush and limbs and removing dangerous trees when I was there. Wayne Ash is logging the saleable timber along with John Spencer. It won't be long until Muir Creek campground will have a new, presentable appearance. "Across the river from Muir Creek campground it looks as if a giant roller had rolled the trees down. Mr. Sabol said that area would not be logged until summer when the water is lower and a low bridge can be built across 4hc river temporarily to be removed when the logging operation is completed. "Many timber sales will be held in the coming months. Among them will be one at Farewell bend on the Rogue just above Union creek at the Rogue Baptist campground and the natural bridge. While the men are clearing these campgrounds they are also stacking cull wood for the campers to use. The timber that is down in the Union Creek campground and the Union creek summer homes area will be sold soon, and all will be cleaned up ready for next summer's use. "In the summer homes area, people are repairing their cabins. One has a new roof. "All this is very intcrstlng," Mrs. Barr concludes, "and there's lots more be seen and marveled at if one wants to take a nice trip just to see what a blow was dealt to the beautiful trees that are mother nature's gift to humanity." IMT AK gft .,s ROAD TO BE OPENED Among interesting sights in Pros pect Union creek area Is this road, the new Mill Creek Huckleberry Mountain road that will be put in use next year. The graveling, rocking and grading has been done by Charles Skccters. This road starts west of Woodruff Meadows rd. Signs will be posted this spring. "But Ma'am " Bertha Hanscom, our Phoenix correspondent, always seems to find humor in situations, no matter how serious they may be. Her husband Irving, who is watermaster in Phoenix, was out early yesterday (his regular day off) working at sandbagging Fourth si. when Coleman creek over-flowed and went roaring down the street. Between the time Irving left the house and the time somewhat later when Bertha sought refuge from her ringing telephone and went to a friend's house, she counted 27 calls. A typical telephone conversation went something like tliis: "Hello." "Is this the watermasler's residence?' "Yes. but Mr. Hanscom isn't" "I wonder if the watermaster will come over. We are just nearly flooded out. There must be something plugged over here." "Well, ma'am, Coleman creek is coming down" "We have to do something or be Hooded out. Our yard is under water and it's getting worse." "But ma'am, Coleman crock " "If you would tell him, I'm sure there must be leaves In the gutter someplace and we really need this opened soon." "Yes ma'am, but' Coleman -" "I can't understand where all this water Is coming from." "Yes, but " "It you will he so kind and have him come over, we really need something opend up. We're nearly flooded." "Hul, ma'am -" "Thank you."

Happy Camp Residents Advised How To Make CD Preparations By HAZEL DAVIS Mail Tribune Correspondent Happy Camp "Siskiyou County is in a good location to miss fallout in case of nu clear attack due to the prevail ing winds," said Howard Cramer, civil defense director of Siskiyou county here. Cramer, speaking at a meet ing scheduled by the Happy Camp Volunteer Fire depart ment at the fire hall, told those present that by some preparation and knowledge, communities can overcome ef fects of fallout and radiation. It is important for persons to understand the dangers, and by understanding them and making preparations, there need not be complete disaster even in areas near the initial explosion point, he said. Cart For Thamialvts According to Cramer, the more persons who know how to care for themselves and their families should they be come contaminated with fall out, the more will be able to survive the sickness and death that could come without proper care. Adult education classes in survival are now in the pro cess of starting in schools in the United States. The classes here in the county should be starting soon after the first of the year, Cramer said. A teacher from a local school will be sent to the Bay Area to learn how to present the program. Other courses in medical self help and first aid also will be starting soon In most areas. According to Cramer, Sis kiyou county will probably be a place to care for evacuees from hard hit areas. We must be prepared to care for these people, he said. In preparation, Happy Camp now has an emergency hospital unit stored here by civil defense for emergency use. According to Cramer, surplus food, power gener ators, radios, etc. will be added to what is already here. Loolen is Director According to Fire Chief Frank Looten, who is also civil defense director here, generators to operate the Happy Camp water supply pumps, and another to be used for power for the elementary school, which will probably be used as a hospital in case of attack, are being sought at the present time. Listed by Cramer as being the first steps toward com munity preparedness were the following: 1. Organize auxiliary police department. 2. Take active part in the civil defense program locally. 3. Families should: a. Store two weeks supply of food, water, medicines, and other necessities. b. Have batteries for radio and flashlights. c. Either find or build a place In or near one's home to stay until fallout danger has passed. d. Join CO classes in sur vival and volunteer to help CD program locally. e. Take first aid and med ical self help courses. The next meeting locally to get the CD program here un der way, was set for December 10 at 7:30 p.m. All persons present were urged to get a friend interested and bring him to the next meeting. This meeting will also be held at the Fire Hall unless the space there is not large enough, then the meeting will be moved to either the Grange Hall or the Elementary School. iimTTf 1 .. d-J rm i v U sL REGIONAL NEWS MAKE HONOR ROLL Illinois Valley Honor roll students announced recently by Robert Hambly, principal at.
