Mr. T. H.-I'm disappointed
in my son. 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

put up by the taxpayers? The

By all means, Mr. H., go to

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

School is supposed to pre
pare kids for life, and life-the

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

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

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

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.

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

"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

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.
