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."

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.
