MEDFORD, OREGON xoaus or oeat veneration hrom dan rrancisco Leaves oap San Francisco - (UPD - Police iwooped down on a "beatnik pad" recently in a raid for "dangerous drugs." All thev found wax a hand ful of vitamin pills and a hypodermic needle. Whether or not the victims of the raid was taking A, B nd C, instead of H (heroin), the red-faced police didnex plain. But this episode underlines I the fact that the beatnik is about as scarce as a Havana cigar these days. Even In North Beach, its original sneer ing grounds, that all-but-vanished pheno- 1 J A MtM V We know you'll simply "Flip Your Wig" at the big ANNUAL KIWANIS KAPERS A FUN FILLED EVENING FOR ALL THE FAMILY At Medford Hi Auditorium February 27 thru March 2 AM proceeds from tho KIWANIS KAPERS ire ued to further tho work of the Chil dren's Dentil Clinic.

And these serious Bohe mians even have a clean bill of health. Keep to Selves "C o n certed police action got rid of the beatniks in North Beach," reports Deputy Police Chief Al Nelder. "The present bunch are mostly le gitimate artists and no prob lems. They mind their own business." Where did the beatniks go? They've scattered to the four winds, some heading for Los Angeles, New York, New Or leans, or Mexico City. The rest went back to school, or, as a last resort be fore total starvation or jail for vagrancy, got jobs where unsympathetic employers in sist on shaven faces and a complete set of clothes. It was much different five years ago when the full tide of publicity broke over North Beach and left upper Grant ave. buried under the current less pool of whiskered hip sters, tangle-haired chicks in leotards, vague-eyed "poets," "writers," "painters" and other drifting, untalenled flotsam whose common bond was a carefully nurtured out look that the world was a "square drag." Since then all but one of the original Bohemian hang outs, started by the restless rebels of post World War II, have folded. For the present colony, now wise as wolves, has learned a hard lesson: Tourist Lure Too many public shenani gans can turn a ripple of in lerestine artists into an un stoppable tidal wave of pen niless phonies - and right be hind it an invasion of the not- so-penniless tourists. The Bohemians still retain an intense dislike for tour ists with their ever nrpsspnt cameras and the Indulgent at titudes of people visiting a zoo. Enlerprisine showmen rush. ed to fill the vacuum left by the Beat Generation exodus, and have opened a conglom eration of rip-roaring night spots along Broadway within rock-throwing distance of ar tistic upper Grant. The tourist can find every thing from clubs offering New Year's Eve every night, to imitation speakeasies with hourly raids, to Paris-type sidewalk bistros (warmed against the foggy nights by neai lamps), to jazz-blues, rag time, Dixie or progressive. , The tour bus no longer stops at the intersection of urant ave. and Green st., the former crossroads of the Beat Generation. The real art shows are reclaiming spots usurped by the pseudo artsy craftsy establishments much admired by visiting firemen. So, if you're making the rounds and some suspicious character tries to sell you some vitamin pills, don't panic and turn him in to the police as a beatnik. He's probably just your friendly druggest out on the town. NYSE Describes Steps Taken To Regulate Trade New York- (UPD -The New York Stock Exchange in its annual report went into some detail on steps taken the past year to keep trading under close supervision and regula tion. The report was made pub lic just about seven weeks before the Securities and Ex change Commission deadline for submission to Congress of the SEC report on a special study of the securities indus try. The study has been go ing on for more than a year. In his report to members, G. Keith Funston, president of the exchange, said the "ex change is carrying out its pledge to cooperate fully with the commission's study." Largest Market The NYSE is the nation's largest securities auction mar ket, and its officials and mem bers have an interest and a stake in whatever the SEC may recommend in the field of additional regulation of secur ities issuance and trading. In the past year, Funston disclosed, the SEC study had "added more than $65,000 of overtime and clerical costs to our operation." 'Many aspects of the ex change community's perform ance were described and doc umented, and literally hun dreds of requests for specific information were filled," said the report. It said the $169, 000 was to pay "expenses directly involved in assem bling and preparing this mate rial for the SEC." Belief Reiterated What the SEC will recom mend in further legislative steps governing the securities industry is yet unknown, but this year's NYSE report re iterated the belief that self- regulation is best for the ex change. Over the years, self-regulation within the exchange community has centered on developing strengthening and enforcing a rigorous code of business standards, compati ble with guidelines establish ed by the federal and state securities laws." It said. "It is no secret that, in many areas, tho exchange's stand-ards-and those maintained by many individual member organizations-are considerably more stringent than the gov ernment requires." uf ( H si PLUMBING & i I frftSO&yV SHEET METAL CO.
