Reorganization
Tiller-Drew - About 60 per
sons attended the reorganiza
tion hearing before the Doug
las county rural board at
Days Creek Jan. 24, pertain
ing to the uniting of the Myr
tle Creek, Canyonville, and
Days Creek-Tiller districts
into one district.
Marion Krebs of Winston, a
member of the rural board,
conducted the meeting, hear
ing first a proposal for reor
ganization and then one
against it until everyone wish
ing to speak had done so.
Those speaking for reor
ganization felt students would
be cither more qualified to
enter college or to enter the
labor market from a larger
high school which offered
more academic subjects and
more vocational training.
Reasons Given
Those against reorganiza
tion felt loss of local auton
omy, distance of transporting
pupils, and higher taxes were
adequate reasons for the small
districts to remain as they
are.
After the formal hearing
there was a short question
and answer period.
A remonstrance petition
containing 63 names was pre
sented to the board making a
vole mandatory. The Days
Creek hearing was the last of
three hearings. A remon
strance petition was presented
at each of the other two hearings.

tanker truck that stands by
and can be called by radio

Each unit covers only its
own district unless a fire gets

reduction of furl bills, wear
on equipment and the hazards
of driving on the highways

Community Club
Board, Phoenix
Council To Meet
Phoenix - Representatives
of the Phoenix Community
Club board of directors will
meet with the Phoenix city
council Monday night to dis
cuss the future of the com
munity club.
Anyone else interested in
developing and maintaining a
recreation program in Phoe
nix is urged to attend, accord
ing to Mayor Darrell Paxson.
During a recent meeting
with the mayor and City
Councilman Clark Brown, the
directors learned that a teen
age recreation center might
still be possible although the
city offices are taking up part
of the space in the community
club.
Muit Hav Program
However, Paxson said the
directors must have a planned
program to present Monday
night.
During their recent meet
ing with the city officials, the
directors said they would
turn over the remaining funds
in the club treasury to the
city if they could be assured
the city would develop a
parks and recreation program
or to the Lions club to de
velop a park on Bear creek
in cooperation with the Jack
son county parks and recrea
tion commission.
The equipment such as
chairs, tables and dishes
which does not belong to the
city would also be turned
over to the Lions club or sold
and the proceeds given the
Lions club, the directors said.
Need Commission
The directors strongly rec
ommended a city parks and
recreation commission which
would be in charge of both
parks and recreation develop
ments. Parks are sadly need
ed in Phoenix, it was pointed
out, since the town does not
have one park now.
The people who say noth
ing has been done with the
community club haven't offer
ed to do anything themselves,
it was noted.

thinning deer population, the
deer wil not eat it.
Craig said that the Game
Commission, being an ap
pointive body, "is a dictator
ship within a democracy," and
that one of the aims of the
council is to seek to have
the Game Commission mem
bers elected.
Try For 2,000
Malhorn said he is a
rancher, raising cattle, sheep,
and Christmas trees, and Rex
ford said he is a horse-shoer.
Rexford said the Lane county
chapter has a membership
of 400. and that it is trying
for 2,000 members. He said
the council expects to organ
ize the whole state, and that
"we can whip this thing if
we stand up to it." Pyle said
Ihe Klamath county chapter
has 300 members. There also
is a chapter at Reedsport.
It was announced that
Chauncey Florey had present
ed to Governor Mark Hatfield

mens club seeking an end to
legalized killing of docs.
During the discussion pe
riod a Medford sportsman
spoke in protest of the bow
and arrow and firearms sea
son lasting into the breeding
season.
Ed Kupillas. who said he is
a hunter living in Medford, j
expressed a view opposing
the council, and said he
would prefer to trust the find-1
ings of trained and dedicated
men on the subject rather
than the opinions of hunters.
He quoted from a book,
"Our Wild 'wife Legacy," by
Durward Allen on the sue
cess in building better gams
herds in other states by pres
ent game management.
Several Agree
Several Applcgate residents
