The horse doesn't do any thing; he gets beaten - and because of that, somebody's heart "wakes up" - and he becomes famous and impor tant. This happened to Henry Bergh who was born in New York in 1813, the son of wealthy parents. Henry loved animals but it never occurred to him that a man could make a career of looking after them. But one day while traveling in Russia, he was walking down the street when sudden ly he heard a horrid noise. It sounded like someone sob bing. He stopped to listen. He was filled with horror as he saw, a short way off, a teamster standing beside a heavily loaded cart which had got stuck in the mud. The load was far too heavy for the old horse and it was straining desperately while the driver cruelly beat it with a long whip. While it quivered under the leash, the poor old horse made a desperate groan ing sound. Bergh Comes lo Life In a flash Henry Bergh came to life, and he yelled at the top of his voice: "Stop that." A strange thing had happened; Henry could feel in his heart just the way the poor old horse was feeling as the cruel teamster beat it. He seized the whip and then the driver started showing at the cart himself. Henry helped him and together they eased it out of the mud. Henry told the man to never treat an ani mal like that again. From that moment on Hen ry Bergh know his life's work would be protecting animals. He would never again stroll the streets as a casual passer by; from here on he was the champion of animals. From Russia he went to England where he learned about the Royal Society for the Protec tion of Cruelty to Animals. Then back to the United Stales whore he was soon in action. Now he saw how cruelly treated the horses were which had lo pull the crowded busses through the city streets; slipping and falling on ice in winter, and suffering from agonizing thirst in summer. He saw poor unwanted dogs running everywhere and be ing killed because ignorant folk thought they were mad! He saw poor tired herds of cows and calves driven to market, beaten and prodded, and shown no mercy at all. Now, he decided there must be a lnw for their protection. Gets Support i He got plenty of support from his friends in all walks of life and the American So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelly to Animals was form ed in New York in 18U6. i Of course, even after they tiHd secured a law (or the j protection of animals it i wasn't easy to get people to j obey it. But, before Henry I Bergh died in New York in 1 1888, he could soe every where about him the results of his life's work. He was one of the best friends that ani mals ever had and all because his heart one day "woke up" to a fellow creature's suffer ing! The brutalities inflicted upon animals have changed since the days of Henry Bergh. ; Actually, the most cruelty is caused by negligence, indif ference and ignorance. . But whatever the cause there are : laws to protect animals and birds. We have federal and in some stales, humane slaugh ter laws, wild horse law in Nevada and other Western states, hunting and fishing laws to prevent the annihila tion of some species and various anti-cruelty laws. En forcement officers are to en force these laws the same as for any other misdemeanor or they would not be doing ; their duly. Sonic Humane So cieties help in having the laws obeyed also. Let more hearts "wake up." Let there be more Henry Bcrglis! ave. to Columbus ave., then north to Stewart ave. ' Lee said the new main will provide better circulation in the distribution system by eliminating dead ends at Highway 98 and Ivy, Whit man and Jasper sts. lt also will boost pressure for custo mers on Medford's west side. It was noted that the pres ent end of the Big Butte Springs pipeline is at the Capital Hill reservoirs on Capital ave. Water from the reservoirs reaches customers through the distribution sys tem. During periods of heavy use, Lee explained, customers on the west side are several Special Course For Businessmen Set at College Ashland - "Administrative Management for Small Busi ness," a apecial course de signed for owners and man agers, will be offered at Southern Oregon college be ginning March 28, Dr. Loy Prickett, head of the business department, has announced. The purpose of the course is to assist the owners and man agers of small businesses to analyze and find logical solu tions for their problems. The course consists of nine conferences presenting man agement ideas for small busi ness.

Bank Debits in Area Show Rise in Month Bank debits for the South western Oregon area includ ing Curry, Jackson and Jose phine counties, showed in creases in February. 1063, compared to the previous year, the bureau of business research at the University of Oregon reported. Debits for February, 1963, totaled $87,977,593. For the same month in 1962 the total was $78,434,933. miles from the reservoirs and pressure recordings during the summer months show that it has been inadequate for the past two years. Extension of Pipeline The main now under con struction will be an extension of the number 2 pipeline from Big Butte Springs into the Southwestern part of Med ford. This will give that por tion of the city water from both the new main and from its present source. Lee noted that the benefits derived from the new main will be to the entire westside water system since the re maining mains will not be overloaded. The new main will not service customers outside of the city, Lee noted that the route was selected because it encompasses an area which is rapidly urbanizing. An exist ing large water main on Stew art ave. made it impractical to locate the main there, Lee added. The water department has owned a reservoir site in the vicinity of South Stage and Dark Hollow rds. for many years. Once this reservoir is constructed, the south feeder main will serve to fill U. Earlier the department had planned to construct the re servoir first, then lay the 24 inch main. A detailed engi neering study of the distribu tion system found that the re servoir could not be adequate ly filled during the night time hours to serve its function of supplying water at peak de mand periods unless the 24 inch main was installed. The reservoir, to have a 10,000,000 gallon capacity, will act as a distribution re servoir to supply water dur ing peak periods; to store ex cess water during week ends Oregon statehood. Corners which are reestablished are monumented with iron posts bearing brass caps on which the location of the corner is stamped. OLD POST An original section corner post set in 1855 by government surveyors is held above by Cadastral Engineer Joseph Gawron who has recently been assigned to the Med ford office of the bureu of land management. Gawron's job here is to supervise setting of new steel posts with brass inscription caps on section corners in the area. Accuracy of the original surveys will be checked' and new witness trees established. Cadastral Engineer AoDointed to Office The addition of a cadastral engineer to the Medford staff of the bureau of land manage ment has been announced by Donald J. Schofield, Medford district manager. Transferred to Medford on a permanent basis is Joseph Gawron, who has been with BLM for 11 years, working mainly from the Portland of fice. During the past two sum mers, Gawron has supervised cadastral engineering crews in the Medford district, but his permanent transfer represents a final phase in the decentral ization of resource manage ment responsibilities to the district level, Specialists In lands and minerals management were transferred to Medford last year. BLM foresters have been stationed in Medford for more than 20 years. Coordinated Management The bureau is responsible for the coordinated manage ment of all resources on BLM land, including timber, for ages, water, wildlife, min erals, and opportunities for public recreation. The Medford district is- the first in the nation to have qualified representatives in all of the major resource man agement specializations, ac cording to Schofield. He said that intensified management of all forest re sources necessitates the ac curate delineation of. the boundaries of all Federal land. This is the responsibil ity assigned to Gawron, who will supervise two cadastral engineering crews. Gawron said the major task is to properly identify the corners of the original sur veys, many of which predate when water requirements are reduced, and for emergency storage. City officials noted that such an emergency existed Dec. 2, 1962, when two of the mains crossing Bear creek were out of service during the flood. The project now under con struction will cost $239,484. It is under contract to the Snelson Plumbing and Heat ing company of Sedro-Wool-ley, Wash. The project in eludes the installation of 16, 050 feet of 24-inch pipe and 2,680 feet of 20-inch pipe and related valves. Construction was started last month at the east end of Garfield ave., and has now progressed about one mile west approaching Columbus ave. The water department hopes to have the main in service for the peak watering seasons of July and August, The steel pipe being used for the project is in the long est sections to be used in the area 50 feet. They will be joined by rubber gasket joints, which permits the making of joints without welding or the use of tools, Lee noted. The exterior of the pipe is protected from corrosion by a coating of coal tar enamel, fiber glass and asbestos felt wrap. The interior is coated with a centrifugally spun coal tar enamel lining. The pipe is bonded at the joints to provide a continuous electrical circuit, Lee ex plained, which would permit the use of catholic protection to protect the pipe from cor rosion if necessary. The pipa will last a minimum of 50 years. A BALANCED FUND? INVESTORS MUTUAl, INC A BOND & PREFERRED STOCK FUND? ' Investors Selective Fund, Inc. !' r A COMMON STOCK FUND?
