10 B WEDNESDAY. APRIL 17. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Farm Recreation Plan Explained At Upper Applegate Grange Meet By MAUDE ZIEGLER Mail Tribune Correspondent Applegate Valley - In view of the growing need for more recreation areas, private land owners of the Applegate and Rogue and outlying districts 1 Regional Roundup By Cleve Twitchell Regional Editor Anyone need cheering up? Here is this month's "cheer ing up" story, authored by our Phoenix correspondent, Bertha Hanscom. "I awoke when the tele phone rang at midnight the other night calling our smudg er out. Then I couldn't get back to sleep for a long time, and when I did finally close my eyes, the house pet barked to be let out, The clock said 4:30. There was no use going back to bed. Little black sambo would be coming in soon from firing up the little black smudge pots, so I made a fire in the fireplace. Some how the wind wasn t just right. The fire refused to burn. It was cold, and I was disgusted. "Little black sambo came In around 6:30, as black as the world outside. I knew I was going to have a bad day. 1 felt it In my old bones. "Then my husband called from Ihe bedroom, 'Mommio, come quick, bring the broom.' The first thing that entered my mind was a spider on the wall or celling, or a mouse? They do come in In cold weather. I dashed to the kitchen. No broom, of course. The broom was out on the cold back porch. I ran back stumbling over my big feet and bumping into everything. I opened the bedroom door. Dear husband was covered, warm and cozy looking out the window. 'Hurry, mommlc,' he said, 'go out and sweep that nasty black stuff away so I won't have to breathe any of it to day.' "Every wife knows just what I had in mind at that moment, but I didn't whack him with the broom. 1 had to laugh. This man who never remembers a birthday or an anniversary or catches any one with a joke on April fools day just to seems to know when someone needs cheering up. Although the day was cold and windy and I the fire refused to burn, re membering my silly dash to get the broom and the twinkle in mv husband's eyes was enough to chase away all the blues. And who could stay de pressed with a man like that around the house?" arc being offered a plan for utilizing idle plots to alleviate this need, according to Neil Ledward, director of Jackson county park and recreation commission, who spoke Lt Upper Applegate grange Fri day evening. Ledward was introduced by Mrs. Marcel LePiniec, local member of the park and rec reation commission. Five pilot projects now .ire under way In Oregon, includ ing a duck hunting area near Portland, golf courses, and others types of recreation permitted on private land. Ledward told grangers that recreation is one of the prime industries of Oregon, ranking next to lumber and agricul ture, and that Oregon is well equipped to accept the re sponsibility of meeting the needs of the public. Ledward said that other park agencies, including for est service, bureau of land management, state, county, city and district agencies all find increasing pressure for more recreational areas, and are unable to meet the de mand. Improve Economy Consequently the pilot farm recreation program proposed by the department of the in terior permits turning of pri vate land into a source of revenue for the owner, and thus improves the economy ul the community. "The day of taking a pack on your back and going out and roughing it is gone," Led ward said. "People seem to have to have everything when they go camping. In this case they can pay for facilities." The park director said a private development already is under way in the lower Applegate, where Earl Settle, owner of Riverview market, has contacted the county court regarding development of a wayside park bordering on the river. it is expected the project will be completed within year. Aerial photos arc being made of the Jackson county locations for possible parks. Low Interest Loans The government has pro posed low interest loans up to $35,000 for development of farm recreation areas, Led ward explained. The farmer may repay with funds re ceived from public use. The farm recreation plan recently was set up by con gress, and more information will be available by summer. The soil conservation service also will be instrumental in handling the program. Ledward said southern Ore gon is the worst place lor litter, as compared to other sections. He said Washington and Canadian parks are kept very clean without constant supervision. A question was asked re garding the consequences if a farmer should wish to with draw his property from pub lic use after ten years time. Ledward said there already had been such a case in an other part of the state, and the public demanded that the county buy the land for con tinued use. Ledward mentioned How ard Prairie and Emigrant lake as large scale recreation spots supervised by the park and recreation commission. He added that the Applegate would be adaptable largely for rustic and family type rec reation such as fishing, camp ing, picnicing, and sightseeing. In some park areas restric tion of hondas and tote-goats has become a problem. He said that trailer parks are coming into greater demand. 10 Crater FTA Members Attend Regional Meeting By MARY COLLEY The Crater Chapter of Fu ture Teachers of America took 10 members to the re gion II conventions in Coos Bay on April 6.
