Regional Roundup by Cleve Twitchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor The latest Issue of the Prospector, which according to a statement found on Page 2 of the paper is "published spasmod4M by the Prospect High school journalism class," rr I'd our desk last week. In it we learned of a contrcAvJ'Y that no doubt has evoked some heated feelings in that area. It seems that Butte Falls High school recently invited Prospect High to participate in a joint "playnight of fun." The invitation was brought before the Prospect stu dent council, and then before the student body as a whole, but according to an editorial in the Prospector, no real decision had been reached at press time. Letters to the editor on the controversial issue are en couraged, and two such letters are printed in the issue. "Just think how the students of Prospect High would feel if we had made this suggestion and Butte Falls had rejected our offer of peace!" says one of the letter writers, signed "Entirely For," expressing the view that such a joint playnight would offer an opportunity to meet new friends. The rebuttal is provided by a letter signed "Unanimous ly Against," which reads in part: "Some people have bee:" getting some brainy Ideas about having a playnight with our arch rivals . , . We should leave things as they are so we won't have a fight every time we look at each other. Some people believe that we would become friends but It just couldn't work. So I believe that we should all stay horhe and hate each other there!" a Hobbies and Ambitions We nearly always get a kick out of reading items in school newspapers about hobbies and ambitions of vari ous members of the student body. Our attention was caught by an earlier edition of the Prospector which reported the arrival of two new stu dents at Prospect. Of one of the newcomers, it was said, "Her hobby is boys and her ambition is to go through high school." We hope one doesn't interfere with the other. Year End Reflections During 1902, our regional family grew somewhat in overall numbers with the number of correspondents increasing from 23 to 29 and some new faces were added in the areas previously covered. Correspondents were added hi Derby, Evans Valley and Wildcrvillc. And new writers were found to cover Grants Pass, Montague and Rogue River, which had been tempo rarily without the services of a correspondent. There were many fine pieces of work by the correspond ents, too numerous to mention. We shudder to think how the regional page would fare without their consistently good efforts.

A1 HOTELMAN'S HOBBY Guy Clarke watches the sands of time running low in his handcrafted hour glass as the new year nears. Ashland Hotelman Makes Hour Glasses, But Hasn't Got One For His Own By FAITH McCULLOUGH Mail Tribune Correspondent Ashland Ashland hotel man Guy Clarke has some thing in common wilh shoe makers' children and black smiths' horses. It all started many months ago when he de cided to experiment with ma terials to moke nn hour gl.iss Just for the fun of it. Before he had completed his hobby project an eager buyer persuaded him to sell it. So he began another for his own home. Like the first, it too was sold and Clarke was still without the hour glass he had wanted. This frustrating hobby-bus. Incss has continued over many monlhs and with each new hour glass has come changes in size, in glass and sand coloring and in design. Owners of Clarke hour ("hisses range from movie moguls to ministers the latter, how ever, confine themselves to half-hour glasses to reassure their listening congregations. Chemistry retorts and wine bottles have furnished the glass, while sands of varied hue come from Michlgnn. Some of the wood bases have been handturned in Jackson ville but each Is carefully as sembled and accurately timed by the originator, who Is slill hoping to complete an hour glass to call his own. Clarke, who is assistant manager of the Mark Antony hotel, usually keeps one of his timepieces within sight to check up on the wall clock, and so far Its record has been precision perfect.

By MAUDE ZIEGLER Mail Tribune Correspondent Applegate Valley An overall picture of work in the Applegate ranger district un der direction of Neil Suttell during 1962 is given in an an nual report released from Star Ranger station. Under the multiple use con cept forage, recreation, water, and wildlife are to be man aged for the greatest good for the greatest number. Two service functions of special importance are fire control and engineering, considering that fire control supplies pro tection to the five resources, and engineering provides the facilities to manage these re sources. Fire control is under direc tion of Robert Webb, and only five lightning fires from three storms occurred during the summer. Only three man caused fires were started dur ing the hot dry season lasting from May until November. Watchfulness of forest users was given as the reason fr, lack of fires. ! The eight-man fire suppres sion crew led by Monty Ftjjt saw little action, but the 25 man interregional crew under leadership of Pete Gregory was sent to nine fires in four states. Gregory reports that the crew spent 5,887- man hours on the fire line and logged 5,500 miles of flight time. He received a cash award for out standing leadership. Hal Von Stein, Sr., also received a cash award for outstanding per formance of duties as a pri mary lookout at Dutclunan'-s peak. The report states that the district personnel did an out standing job at the rcak 'ol the season. Seventy-five peo ple were employed, whereas Holiday Programs Given In Hornbrook Hornbrook The Christ mas program presented by the children of the local grammar school was judged "one of the best ever" by the over flow crowd which attended the presentation. A four-act play entitled "The Little Christmas Tree" was one of the numbers on the program. A musical num ber, "The Singing Gifts," was given by Willis Jones' fifth and sixth graders, in which the children, In gaily wrap ped Christmas packages, pop ped out of the boxes and sang a number of appropriate souks. The children of the lower grades were charming as Mother Goose characters as they presented "Mother Goose's Christmas." The program closed Willi Santa Clans making an ap pearance and giving each child a sack of candy and fruit. Members of the Christian Women's Community fellow ship of the local Methodist church met at the church on Dee. 22 where thev filled 2(i boxes with homemade cookies jelly and candy. These were given to "oldsters in the community who are alone, in keeping with a custom estab lished by the society several years ago.

Md. m -The In augural running of the Dixie handicap at Punlico in 1R70 was won by Prr.-iknoss for which the second of the triple crown classics was named. for two months during the winter 21 persons are employed. . Robert Reider, engineering assistant, reports that timber purchasers built 17 miles of timber access roads under timber sale contracts. In addi tion 11 miles of roads were surveyed to be built in subse quent years. The engineering section is now m the process of design ing 11 miles of road. There were an additional 1(;0 miles of road that had to be main tained either by the forest service or the timber purchasers. In the calendar year of 1962 the timber management mclion under direction of George Berscheid. sold 1U mil lion board feet of timber or sufficient amount to build 8,000 homes, and scaled 40 million board feet. Most of the harvesting was done by clear cuts which require burning and reforestation. Slash burne'd totaled 811 acres, and 475 acres were seeded or planted to trees. In addition 185 acres of brush were aerial sprayed to re lease young trees, and 40 acres were cleared by cater pillar and seeded to pine. Robert Snoich is in charge of forage, receration, and watershed resources. He re ports that 1,455 head of cattle were permitted on all range for a total of 4,797 animal-use months (one animal for one month). To facilitate the man agement of cattle on the range the Forest Service constructed 0.6 mile of fence. Campgrounds In the field of recreation the seven existing campgrounds accommodated 40,000 people with McKee and Jackson campgrounds bearing the brunt of the use. Surveys have been made for a camp ground on Steves fork, and for expan- lon at Cook and Green and Beaver Sulphur parks. By next July Jackson camp ground should have tables and a water system installed. In addition four miles of major streams were cleared of log jams and debris. This job was done to allow migration of fish and to prevent erosion of stream banks and roads caused by the water being di verted to a different channel. The work should alicviale jams this coming year. Maintaining Trails The district also has the responsibility of maintaining 200 miles of trails of which 139 miles were maintained. Trail reconstruction included 6.4 miles, and 1.9 miles were new construction. This phase of the district program is in charge of Robert Webb. To meet these accomplish ments and manage the re sources in accordance with tlu? applicable laws and reg ulations requires an expend iture of money and time, the report stated. For the tiscal year 19113. which started July 1. 11KI2, the budget is S2j.V l:t.Y The cross receipts for 19(12 are So-25,000 of which 25 per cent goes to the coun ly. The gross return to the government is $271,8(15. Grange To Hear Talk On Increase of Taxes Hornbrook Hornbrook Grange 391 will meet Friday to hear a talk on why Horn brook taxes have incrensed.
