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.
