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. '

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.

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.

PREAKNESS
Baltimore. 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.

a bit of excitement and con
fusion at the Tom Schriven
home here last week.
Sunday morning, Dec. 23,
Schriven had gone to lake his
four sons to a neighbor's
house prior to transporting
his wife to a Medford hospital
to await the birth of a hoped
for daughter.
But while he was out, the
newest Schriven decided to
make his oebut. A doctor was
summoned from Medford, but
because of fog it took him an
hour and a half to get to Pros
pect. In the meantime a baby boy
wa? delivered with the aid of
neighbors and friends.
When the doctor arrived he
bundled up mother and child
and took them to the hospital,
where at last report both were
doing fine.
The newest son was named
Wayne.

Advertising helped it happen
By stimulating mess demand, advertisinj; helped create a
mass market for electric light bulbs. As demand grew,
more and more were made. The more of them made, the
less each one cost. Result: new and better electric light
bulbs mass produced for more people at lower prices by
America's remarkable snd competitive economic system.
,s this worthwhile? Then, so is advertising worthwhile.
