Thorpes To Teach
Indian Traditions
By GENEVIEVE BRIGGS
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Close by the Rogue river,
between Grants Pass and the
city of Rogue River, is rising
a council house to be used by
the Moon Mountain Indian
dancers.
Again the throb of the torn-
CHANTER Bob Drake,
Grants Pass Boy Scout coun
selor, will act as a chanter
with the dancers.
Response To Drive
Said Overwhelming
Gold Hill Mrs. Charles
Stripling, general chairman of
the IOOF and Rcbekah build
ing fund committee, said the
response of people in the
community to this project has
been overwhelming.
As the month of February realistic manner. The story Is
draws to an end more than nortravert hv hnriv nnrf hnnd
torn will fill the canyon as it
did once long ago. The rattle
of the bear claw and the shuf
fie of moccasin feet will tell
of the story of the beginning
of time.
Richard Thorpe (Chief Run
Ding Bear) and his family are
expanding the wildlife pre
serve developed at their home
on old Highway 99 to include
the arts, customs and legends
of the American Indian. The
council house is being fl
nanced through donations by
area businessmen.
For Thorpe, a dream of
bringing to Jackson and Jose
phine county youth the lore
and traditions of the Indian
will materialize.
Chief Running Bear has
been working for some time
with the Boy Scouts, making
plans to teach these boys the
handicrafts of the Indians.
Chief High Horse (Robert
Thorpe), son of Chief Running
Bear, who has Just returned
from a three-year tour of duty
wnn the U.S. Marine corps,
will teach the boys and girls
the Indian dances, how to live
in the forest without cooking
utensils and survive, and how
to read forest trails.
Few know the legends of
the Indian or his rich tradi
tions. Few people know that
the Indian dance - unlike the
white man's - tells a story.
The Indian dancer takes no
notice of his audience, but
when he dances It is dramatic,
sending chills up and down
me spine.

his story In a wholly natural
Rural Reflections
By Maud Ziegler
Applagita Valley Correspondent
"""TppTesate Valley RecenTlwe got into a verbal
hassle with Pat Maddox, over Sterling way, over the
matter of news coverage of tiie achievements of young
people.
Pat (and there are many others who feel this way)
believes that only the bad things young people do get
reported and that the worthwhile achievements of young
people don't get in the newspapers.
A group of local radio fans has been discussing juve
nile delinquency and have been reminding each other
that really many fine teenagers live in the Rogue valley
and there ought to be some way of emphasizing "juvenile
decency" instead of delinquency.
In light of the above, it might be interesting to go
back over the six issues of the Mail Tribune which were
published last week and see If crime really was the
only type of news printed involving young people. We
did, and here's what we found.
Some Examples
Nine-year-olds can think up worth while things to do
triplets at Salinas, Calif., wrote separate letters to
President Kennedy to come to dinner some night. Their
picture was in the paper in a three column spread.
The Hi-Y club of Medford met and adopted constitu
tion and elected officers. They had a three-city meeting
In Klamath Falls. John Morrow of Medford, president of
Theta Delta Phi at SOC, presented the "man of the
year" award to Dr. Arthur S. Taylor.
Douglas Smith of Medford, who attends the college
in Ashland, visited Italy last summer, and showed slides
of his trip to the Central Point Lions club.
Mary Ann Carnegie, senor at St. Mary's high school
in Medford, and Howard Haugen, senior at Medford
high, have won the Elks' scholarship contest. They will
go on to higher competition. Their pictures were In the
paper, too.
A large photo was in the Tribune of John E. Foley of
Central Point who is a candidate for a doctorate in
physics at New Mexico state university. Also shown in
the photo was a photoelectric photometer which he had
made in his research work.
Students from four high schools of the Rogue valley
participated in the Linfield college speech tournament.
Three Medford students, Ruth Stiehl, Evelyn Young,
and Marilyn Shepard received high honors at the Naza
rcne college In Nampa, Idaho; and William Sproat of
Medford received honors at the school of pharmacy at
University of Colorado.
22 Of Them In All
And so go the articles, 22 of them in a week's issues.
Had any one noticed little items here and there saying
that Miss Oregon is asked to speak at various groups?
One such group asked her specifically because she is an
excellent example of "teen to twenty." And Marty has
strong spiritual convictions, and doesn't hesitate to men
tion prayer in her life as she gives her talks.
There Is not space to mention the continuous columns
and columns of published accounts of scouting, 4-H,
school athletics making big headlines every day, the
armed services reports, exchange students, YMCA, De
Molay, Job's Daughters, and many others.
(Editor's Note: Our thanks to Maude for digging out
in above data to prove her point. We have long held
the opinion that ihoie who alledge that newspapers print
only the misdeeds of young people simply do not read
their papers very carefully. Such criticism has some
validity in large metropolitan areas, but certainly not
in the Rogue valley. In all of our travels about the Unit
ed Stales never have we seen an area where more news
paper spice is devoted to the positive achievements of
young people. CET.)
$300 has been deposited in
the fund, she said.
Many individual cash dona
tions have been received, she
noted, several from persons
who are not members of el
. ther fraternal group, she said,
which definitely shows "true
community spirit."

There will be no admission
charge, Mrs. Stripling said.
Trices of boxes will not ex

There will be a program and
"Cake Walks" during the eve

in the dining room will con
clude the event.
A benefit dance is slated
for Saturday, March 9 from
9 until 1 p.m. at Gold Hill

Grants Pass - An alloca
tion of $75,000 in federal
funds, to be used by Siskiyou
National forest under the ac
celerated public works pro
gram, was announced here
this week by Forest Super
visor J. R. Philbrick.
The money will supplement
an original allocation of $198,
000 granted last fall to start
a program providing work for
men seasonally unemployed.
Half the work under the
program was let out to pri
vate contractors; the rest was
done under direct supervision
of the forest service. The new
allocation will make it pos
sible to reemploy men laid off
In mid -January, Philbrick
said, when a portion of the
funds was exhausted.
Largest single project to be
undertaken with the new
funds is improvement of the
Myers-Big Pine campground,
approximately 30 miles west
of Grants Pass in the Galice
district near Hellsgate canyon

The area contains the tall
