'o the San Francisco grocery tore where he had clerked briefly in his youth. Everybody crowd ed round to hear the famous man give his views on life and love. Later the proprietor of the grocery store was asked, "What was the most important thing Saroyan said?" The pro prietor answered testily, "He didn't say anything important All he did was eat up my fruit."

He stooped to Cheating. Malcolm H.-Everyone does It. The teachers just pretend not to see. Mr. T. H. - It came back to me that in the recent final exams my son did some cheat ing. He's 13 and in high school. A friend of mine con fided that his boy revealed an "arrangement" among three kids, including Mai, for shar ing answers on a "crib sheet." . I'm shocked and wondering what to do next. Do I go to school and expose the whole thing? Or do I get hold of the three boys and try to show them the wrong and the dan ger of what they did? This isn't a matter of white lies or childish pranks. How can I impress Mai that it's out-and-out dishonesty? Malcolm H. - It's too bad one of the others talked, knew my Dad wouldn't un derstand and would Ret upset. He and my mother have taught me to be honest, but this is different. They have an Honor System in our school but it's a joke. The teacher knows answers get passed around. Once in a while they catch somebody. But most of the time they ig nore it. They probably know by now not to take the exams too scrously. I think there should be monitors and they should watch us like hawks. I'd real ly study then, and a high mark would mean something. But this way, what's the use? I get the high mark without studying. The Councils It's lucky for Mai that the doctor who guards his health didn't cheat on his license exams, and that the pilot who lands him safely on the airstrip didn't copy the answers to the navigation test! It tli is sort of moral col lapse is rampant in high schools (and a survey by the Luther League of America polled a large number of teenagers, 87 per cent of whom owned up to cheating on school tests), whul good are the expensive marblo hulls put up by the taxpayers? The graduates will be no better prepared for the good life than were Fagin's disciples Dennis the Menace FEBRUARY 24. 1963 Stop Mo went outside the barn and yelled Number Fifty Four, Where Are President of Honduras. He has an uencrai reaiurer '.orp.j who learned how to pick-a. pocket in his cellar classroom. By all means, Mr. H., go to tne scnool and plunk for the end of this Honor System which has degenerated Into a Dishonor System, with the emphasis on the "system." You mention the "crib sheet." The above survey lists other techniques such as Wander ing Eyeballs and Giraffing. School is supposed to pre pare kids for life, and life-the good life-has rigid standards of right and wrong. Maybe its arbitrary to count time from Greenwich, but that's our base and we take it from there. In moral matters too we can only "navigate" from a firm stand on honesty and dis honesty. Regardless of how many wrongdoers "get away with it, whether on high school tests or later, with phony stock sales, Malcolm and his classmates must be taught emphatically that cheating is wicked, corrupt ing, and punishable. And es pecially In school, It Is sad, because the child cheats him self. He fails to learn, even tlu'ugh he succeeds in manip ulating his marks. This is the time to nip con donation of misbehavior. An Honor System is fine, so long as there is honor. Malcolm's teachers may have to turn into the hawks he asks for during test periods. But in between they can hammer home the meaning of three sacred words, "On my hon or . . ." Thug Escapes With Cash From Market Vancouver, Wash. -IIIM- A gunman escaped with about $5,000 from a market In the Hazel Dell community north of here Thursday after kid naping the store manager. The manager, Ronald Dal Unn, 27, was locked in the trunk of his car on a dead end street. He was freed about 30 minutes later when he attracted the attention of a motorist by working his arm up between the back seat and the rear window of the vehicle. Dallum said the bandit in tercepted him ns ho was re turning to the store from a 1 bank about 5 p in, Role of County Civil Defense Agency In Local Emergencies Reviewed by Hicks "We are putting in, essen tially, for the same budget as last year ($13,000) with a few minor increases," Maj. Gen J. If. Hicks, Jackson County Civil Defense director, com' mented last week. He noted a few minor in creases would be requested, such as $800 for transports tion of supplies to community shelters. Explaining his program General Hicks said, "The Jackson County Civil Defense agency is organized primarily to assist in local emergencies and disasters. Highly trained volunteers, comprising many skills, make up the body of the organization. Although the agency is not large enough to cope with an emergency re suiting from nuclear war, it could form the nucleus for an expanded force." Two Radio Nets Jackson county has two ra dio nets available for emer gency use, the Civil Defense director said. The RACES (Ra dio Amateur Civil Emergency Service) net has approximate ly 200 operators and SO sta. tions equipped with two meter transceivers The net covers the county and includes cities and local! ties such as Ruch, Butte Falls, Prospect, Shady Cove, Rogue River, Ashland, Central Point, Eagle Point, Jacksonville, Tal ent. Phoenix and Medford. To keep equipment at peak operation, a Tuesday to Fri day net is operated at 1 p.m. Another drill period is held every Monday at 7:45 p.m. "This net was organized In 1058, and has been in opera tion continuously since that time, General Hicks said. "The not includes Civil De fense directors, radioligical monitors and the Medford weather station." Citiiens' Band Net A citizens' band net was or ganized last year, and has been assigned to the Jackson County Sheriff's Reserve as communications division. This has 15 to 20 operators. Most of them have equipment which can be used in their cars and was purchased by the operators. Search and rescue missions has used this mobile network many times. It drills at 7:45 p.m. each Monday. Forty - five selected and rained personnel form the Sheriff's Reserve which trains monthly. Their mission is to Heirloom Finery i Small but precious!

Training covers search and rescue, first aid radiological monitoring and law enforcement. The organization has prov en so effective that plans are now under way to organize components for Ashland, Cen tral Point, Rogue River and for fringe county areas. Organise Rescue Units Ray Briggs and Leroi Webb, of Shady Cove and Rogue River, respectively, organized Civil Defense rescue units in 1955. Fifteen to 20 men are equipped with cars, Jeeps, pick-up trucks and boats. Dur ing the 1055-56 floods, the un its operated so effectively, the organizations have been con tinued and again performed efficiently during the Decem ber, 1962 floods, General Hicks noted. A similar Civil Defense res cue unit at Eagle Point func tioned effectively in rescuing people along Little Butte creek IaBt December, "Employers throughout the county have been cooperative in releasing personnel for an emergency," General Hicks noted. "When the December floods hit, some of the Sheriff's Reserves reported for duty within 15 minutes. The complete unit was available within 60 minutes. At the first flash of an emergency situation, the RA CES radio net goes into oper ation. Mobile radio operators are sent to the emergency to determine what Civil Defense assistance is needed, and to offer Civil Defense, Red Cross and Salvation Army support as desired. Takes Charge If there are no local govern mental officials present, the Civil Defense takes charge of rescue efforts until such local officials arrive, General Hicks said. At any disaster, Civil De fense is prepared to act as go- between to obtain personnel, heavy equipment such as bull dozers, trucks, cranes, rescue vehicles, ambulances and oth er such items. Civil Defense has been authorized by the Red Cross and the Salvation Army to offer food, clothing, and shelter if needed," Gen eral Hicks explained.

Two 200-bed federal field hos pital units are in storage now, one at Ashland and one at the Veterans Administration Domiciliary, White City. Two more 200-bed units will be supplied this year, Hicks said. The medical association has set up the nucleus of the or Many-Storled Nursery Built By Mother Carpenter Bee It was a tremendous task for one so small, but biologi cal determination drove her. She was a carpenter bee drilling a deep tunnel in a soft pine board. It took her nearly a month to build the eight-level nursery. At times, she worked all night as well as all day. The best she could do was about one-half inch in a 24-hour period. She closely resembles a bumblebee-black and gold and about the same size. After deciding on a loca tion, she bored a hole straight into the wood for about three- quarters of an inch. Then she made a right angle turn and began drilling downward, bit ing out tiny bits of wood with her powerful jaws. The drill ing was easier now, for she was following the grain of the wood. As she chipped out the wood, she turned constant ly. When her tunnel was com plete it would be perfectly round, about a half inch in diameter, smooth and a foot or more in depth. As she chip ped out the flakes of wood she kicked or brushed them out with her rear legs. Brimming Nectar Cups After the tunnel was com plete, she flew away to where she knew flowers were ready with ctar cups brimming. She g ...lcred nectar and pol len and carried it back to the deep tunnel in the wood. Carefully she mixed the pol len and nectar, making a small, kidney bean-sized loaf of bee-bread. This she deposi ted in the bottom and on it she laid an egg. Moving up a short way, she built a parti tion 01 sawdust and complete ly closed the tunnel just above the bee-bread and freshlv laid egg. She gathered more nectar and pollen, made another loaf, iaia anoiner egg, made anoth er partition and continued the same procedure, cell after cell. After filling the entire length of the cavity with small compartments, each contain a loaf of bee-brend and an egg, she rested from her la bors. In the silent darkness of the bottom cell, the egg hatch ed and a tiny, white worm crawled forth. It began feeding on the loaf of bc-bread so thoughtful ly provided by the mother carpenter bee. The larva grew in strength and size. Then it waited for it was the first to hatch. The others in the com partments above had to emerge from eggs in their own little chambers, and feed and grow. Eggs Hatched One after another, from the bottom up, the eggs hatched, and one after another the growing larva tore away the compartment dividers over iiiaNiVotfuti The ONLY Time-Tested GLASS FIREPLACE SCREEN Enjoyed by Thousands in the Rogue River Valley PHONE SMITH LUMBER CO.

Radio monitoring equip ment furnished Medford pro vides 24-hour monitoring of commercial broad cast sta tions. Radio equipment from Civil Defense links the sher iff's office with state police. "All of the foregoing has been accomplished because of the continued support of the county court and the county budget committee," General Hicks said, "Without their fi nancial support, their sur veillance and approval of the various programs, Jackson county would have little as sistance to offer during an emergency." Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1963) their heads and proceeded up the tunnel. The first born, the little guy in the bottom cell, had to wait a considerable time for all those in the floors above to feed and grow and chew away the partition.. They all moved upward, cell by cell, and at the top waited for the mother carpen ter bee. She seemed to know how many children to expect and how long it would take before they all arrived at the top floor of the several-storied nursery. When they had all emerged, she led them out into the sun shine. They were adult car penter bees-the males with beautiful green eyes, the fe males with black eyes. In the summer day they hovered in the air like tiny humming birds, and remained airborne for several minutes at a time but in one place. They darted away for a brief flight, but returned to that same Invisible place in the air. Soon the little females sought a small tree branch or piece of soft wood and began their carpenter work, build ing a many-storied nursery, each with its separate food supply.
