The two men were honored for their civic work, partic ularly for their efforts in behalf of the Crater High school stadium fund project last summer and fall. tKnackstedt Photo) Regional Roundup by Cleve Twltchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor There have been some changes in our lineup of news correspondents, and so we'd like to take this op portunity to introduce two "new" members of the staff to our readers. We put the word "new" in quotes be cause one of the newcomers isn't really new to the Mail Tribune at all. She served as a correspondent some years ago and is now back with us. She's Alice Burnetlc (Mrs. Ray) of Rt. 1. Box 388. Talent (phone 335-1892. Mrs. Burnctte will be covering the Talent area for us an area that is growing in importance in the Rogue Valley, particularly with the recent formation of two new districts, the Talent Rural Fire Protection district and the South Talent Sanitary district. In addition to keeping an eye on these two districts, she'll also be filling us in on the developments in Talent's city government, par - ticularly the progress of the city's new water program. Mrs. Burnette has been a resident of the Talent area since 1934. Another recent addition to the staff is Mary Collcy, who became our Central Point correspondent several weeks ago. Mary is the wife of Bill Colley of Bill Colley Real Estate in Central Point. She lives at 318 South Second St., and news items may be phoned to her at 664-3183. In Central Point, she is taking on 0 big job, for it is probably the busiest and most im portant territory in our regional page coverage area. Scrivens Express Appreciation From Velda Barr, our Prospect correspondent, comes the following: o o "Mr. and Mrs. Tom Scriven of Prospect wish to ex press their appreciation to all of their many friends and neighbors of Prospect who helped them in their recent fire disaster, in which they lost all their be longings. The people of Prospect really gave them a helping hand. They are now living in a small cabin at the Cascade Gorge. But before long they will be re building and living again in their own home. In this house fire, Mr. Scriven lost a valued gun collection, which cannot be replaced. They had just remodeled and enlarged the home that burned. They still have the paymunts to meet on the home they lost, and with four little boys that will be hard to do. But they thank God no one was in the house at the time. If this fire had happened at night while they were asleep it could have been disastrous." Another Arrest On Phone Fraud Grants Pass-William Bruce Grant, 29. of Portland and Salem, pleaded guilty in Jo sephine county circuit court here Friday to a charge of p r o c u r ing communication service by fraud. He was placed on probation for two years by Judge James W. Crawford. Grant, who was arrested by Salem police Wednesday on a warrant from Grants Pass, was employed at the time of tile offense by a Portland bas ed magazine subscription firm which figured in a similar case earlier this month. The court was advised that Grant had set up a scheme to obtain sales progress reports from the Grants Pass area via long distance telephone without being charged for the service. The case was investigated by Grants Pass police and agents of Pacific Northwest Bell under a state law enact ed In 1961 to cover this type of fraud. Highway Hearings Slated This Week In Jacksonville Jacksonville - Residents of the Jacksonville area this week will be offered two op portunities to voice their feel ings about the state highway department's proposed route for relocation of the Medford Provolt highway through Jacksonville.

The route crosses Oregon st. about half way between C and D sts., crosses Third st. about half way between D and E sts. and cuts through the middle of the intersection of Fourth and F sts.

By DOTTIE HARBISON Mail Tribune Correspondent Eagle Point - "I would like to see the highways clear through our county planted with two rows of trees and our recreation hills restocked with all types of nut trees and berries," Charles C. Hoov er announced when he gave Redwood trees to youngsters in the Eagle Point area re cently. Hoover recalled the fun he had picking hazel nuts, pecans and other nuts when a boy exploring hills. He went on to note that "if the hills are going to be used for recrea tion they should have recrea tion in them." Hoover said he would like to sec the blackberries and huckleberries and other hearty berries planted along with the various nut trees in the surrounding hills so all youngsters and families can take advantage of enjoying them when they go into the hills for recreation. He would also like to see an arboretum started where people can view trees from all over the world. He noted that every day he is receiving let ters from people from all parts of the world offering to exchange trees with him, and it would be an ideal oppor tunity for the starting of such an arboretum. At the present time, there is a two acre tract in White City that has over 100 different varieties plant ed, all doing well. This project could be ac complished in about a three year period if the trees were kept well mulched, he said. This would simplify the wa tering system and Hoover said he would volunteer to buy some of the trees to start it off. Hoover suggested that some of the juveniles at ti.e deten tion home and relief workers or prisoners could help take care of these trees along the highways and in the hills for the first three years, and after that they would take care of themselves. He also volunteered his .-cervices to cut and get starts of the various trees and ber ries for planting along the roads and creeks and take them to granges or farmers' meetings. He noted that he had a fast growing poplar tree now that could be planted. He also emphasized the value of Willow treetr in the pasture. They require very little trimming as cattle cat them and keep them shaped level around the bottom, and they make a beautiful tree as well as a large shade tree when older, he said. Get Started With the amount of timber being cut, land being cleared for subdivisions and other purposes. Hoover suggested the cities and game commis sions should be starting their program' of tree planting be fore it gets too late. "I would even like to see every road in the county lined with trees." Hoover said as he emphasized that this program need not be an expensive one unless one has to have real expensive trees to do it with. There are countless num bers of beautiful evergreen that could be planted and eared for and that would turn this area into a beautiful, scenic valley, letting the resi dents enjoy their shade, as well as beauty while keeping the ground and land free from erosion. The bare hills east of Ashland where fires have stripped the beauty of the hills and others in the valley just like it, were point ed out as excellent places to start the program. PERMIT REQUIRED Talent-The town of Talent has issued a warning that starling loaay, April 1, any one wishing to burn trash grass or other materials, tin less doing so in a covered trash burner, musi have a fire permit.
