Page 2A MEDFORD yiRIBUNE MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JANUAR 13, 1963 Proxy Vote to Be Honored by House Minority Leader : Salem - (UP1) - Rep. Sidney Leiken (D-Roscburg) was as sured a proxy vote if neces sary, House Minority Leader F. F. Montgomery (R-Eugcne) has stated. Montgomery said he told Leiken his vote would be honored if he was unable to be here for the opening of the 1063 session of the House of Representatives Monday. Speaker designate of the House, Clarence Barton (D Coquille) said Montgomery had not agreed to allow Lci ken's proxy vote. , Leiken Is in Los Angeles where he took his wife for medical treatment. She was scheduled for surgery Friday, and it was not known if Lei ken would be able to return here in time for the opening of the session. Montgomery said he first told Barton that use of the proxy would be approved, then called back and said he felt he should take the matter up with other Republicans be fore granting approval. "There was no intent to make this a political Issue," Montgomery said, "I simply felt I should check with other Republicans before speaking for them. Should Have Vol Barton said Thursday he feared he might not be able to organize the House with out the proxy vote. Unless the House organizes Monday and canvasses the vote for gov ernor, the scheduled inaugura tion of Gov. Mark Hatfield would have to be delayed, Barton had stated. Montgomery said he had told Barton the proxy vote would not be necessary be cause only a simple major ity was required to organize the House. House membership Is split 31-29 In favor of the Demo crats. Without Leiken's- vote, the Democrats would have only a one-vote margin. I! vi IK Ji 151 ?J w it ' III I ! I K. U.

(UPI) Obstacles Said Blocking Progress Of Boardman Industrial Park Site Portland (UPD - A series of obstacles may delay devel opment of Oregon's Space Age Industrial Park program for Boeing, the Portland Ore gonian reported Saturday. The story says a rash of problems, including an at tempt by Washington's con gressional delegation to "put the blocks to Oregon," may halt Boeing's plans to start building this month. The 93,000-acre is schedul ed to be built on the Board man, Ore., bombing range. Thursday Gov. Mark Hat field's office reported that Sam Mallicoat, head of state planning and development, was in Washington, D. C, working on project plans. Mallicoat later informed the governor's office that he didn't know of any brewing trouble, but that he does in tend to meet with Oregon's congressional delegation on Monday. Erected Roadblocks Gov. Hatfield said Saturday he would have no further comment until he has an op portunity to study Mallicoat's report on the Washington con ferences which he has been holding. The newspaper report said both the Navy Department and the Army Corps of En gineers have "erected almost unsurmountable roadblocks in the path that would lead the aerospace giant Boeing into Oregon." The Navy is reported to have put a price of approxi mately $800,000 on its bomb ing range lands In the Board man tract planned for the Three Area People Appear in Court Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1963) Man and Mammal Adapt, The Orange Tree Cannot It's a sad and pathetic sight, the too-late robin caught in an early winter snowfall. The bird registers extreme dis comfort in every action and feather. People, looking out from winterized houses, see the snow to which they are accustomed, but view with alarm the robin on the snowy lawn ... the bird which is viewed much too soon and gives no promise of the look-ed-for spring. Even more pathetic Is the catastrophe which occurs once 3n a while: an orange tree, covered with golden fruit and festooned with ice, frozen solid from the biting cold of the previous night. The orange tree, in full fruit, is symbolic of sunshine and warmth, an object many people journey hundreds of miles to see and to photograph. Nobody nat urally associates an orange tree with frost; it is more an emblem of warm tempera tures and tropical breezes. , Cold Front Movee By a provoking complexity of air currents and sun slant, a cold front develops in the far north and moves cast and south. Snow and low tempera tures accompany It. People, plants and animals, great and small, accustomed to rapid and drastic changes, take the enveloping cold in their stride. They may not like it but they expect it. It occurs every year. It is wintertime. Occasionally, the moving cold front bends more south than east. It moves on; cold and colder, sweeping relent lessly Into what are expected to be warm areas and even into the very edge of the tropics, It has invaded an area not accustomed to low tem peratures. The night comes, and the temperature falls. Everything Caught The bird, the mammal, the human and the orange tree are caught. The bird, naturally warmer blooded than other animals, saves itself from the cold by exercise or locates a cavity In a tree; or finds a spot under the eaves of a building. The animal seeks a burrow, nest or. den, The man builds a fire, dons more clothes and complains. And rightly so, for If the cold is severe or continued, he stands to suffer a financial loss. But the orange tree can not dodge the Icy winds by going to a warmer place or protecting Itself in some way; it must stand and take what ever comes. Drastic Measures Man often attempts to help. In many Instances he heaps earth around the base of the tree. He builds a smudge fire. He saturates the earth around the tree with copious amounts of water, hoping to "absorb the cold." Sometimes he uses a wind machine; he may even, at times, employ a helicopter Lee Marie LaTorra, 38, Robinson hotel, Mcdford, was sentenced to three years In the Oregon State penitentiary Friday afternoon on a charge of forgery. She was found guilty by a circuit court jury Wednesday night. She also was sentenced to three years in the state pen itentiary for violation of pro bation. Both sentences are to run concurrently. The case of John Arthur Harper, 198'4 Harrison St., Ashland, was continued to al low him to plead to charges of grand larceny. He has been released on $l,ouu Dan. Donald Lee Scoville, 108 to fly over the grove and stir up the air. He takes all manner of dras tic measures to raise the tem perature, to keep the golden fruit from turning to balls of ice on the tree. The smudge pot belches black smoke, but the cold manages to creep in anyhow. The cold numbs the hands. It creeps into and turns to ice the sap within the stems of tropical plants. Tomorrow the leaves will be limp, brown and scar. Yes, a pathetic sight, the robin on the snowy lawn or. Ice crystals on an orange tree. At such times, Nature, the same agency that brought the tree to glorious fruition, ap parently abandons her sub jects and destroys what she so bountifully created. South Central ave., Medford, was placed on probation and Imposition of sentence was suspended for five years on a charge of sodomy. He was di rected to obtain the services of a psychiatrist and be treat ed as long as the psychiatrist deems necessary. Firs!
