Large Crowds Are
Reported at Events
In Valley on Fourth
Bands played, flags waved
and bells rang in celebration
of the nation's 187th birthday
yesterday.
Thousands of spectators and
participants flocked to Ash
land and Eagle Point for
events including parades and
horse shows in both commu
nities and evening fireworks
at Emigrant lake.
An estimated 1,500 watched
the parade in Eagle Point. A
larger crowd viewed Ash
land's parade, but no crowd
estimate was available. Neil
Ledward, county parks and
recreation director, estimated
that 2,400 viewed the fire
works display.
Four jets from Kingsley
Field zoomed over Ashland to
signal the start of the parade
there.
Grand Marshal Whitland
Locke headed the line of
inarch from the Siskiyou
boulevard staging
Lilhia park.
Continuing Ways
Ashland Garden
area to
club con-
tinued its winning
ways by
taking the 1963 sweepstakes
award of $50 for the most
beautiful float in the parade.
The large yellow and lavender
platform centered with a
floral arch of hanging bells
was a blending of garden
flowers and a bevy of tiny
children in lavender apparel.
In keeping with the parade
theme, "Ring the Bells for
Freedom," it was entitled
"Freedom Is Their Heritage."
Mrs. William Davis was chair
man of the float committee
of the Garden cluo.
Lithia park was the center
of daytime activities high
lighted by the city band's pro
gram of martial airs directed
by Dr. Herbert Cecil, and an

ed the individual citizen's ob
ligation to his country, as
well as a deeper appreciation
of the meaning of freedom.
Amusements and food, plus
pony rides and carnival
games, attracted hundreds to
the park during the after
noon, while many attended
the Ashland Wranglers' show
at the Bcllview arena.
Main Attractions
For other hundreds of cele
grators Emigrant lake was
the main attraction from
morning until dark, when
Ashland Jaycees brought the
festivities to a spectacular cli
max with a fireworks display
over the water.
What could have developed
into a holocaust was prevent
ed after a grass fire got start
ed on a hillside on the north
side of the lake. Pirked cars
hindered extinguishing the
fire in dry, tall grass.
Ashland police reported
only one serious accident
which came shortly after noon
in the park when 4-year-old
Cherie Cady, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Milton Cady, Cen
tral Point, fell on the balloon
she was carrying, causing the
stick to penetrate her eye. She
was taken to Ashland Commu
nity hospital where she was
treated and later released.
Eagle Point's celebration
got under way Wednesday
evening, when Sandra Char
ters was crowned Miss Eagle
Point at a coronation ball.
The Eagle Point Jaycees
sponsored a breakfast yester
day morning, which was fol
lowed by the parade shortly
after noon. Good crowds were
reported at the Desert Pega

Labor Secretary
Assistant Would
Attend Sessions
Sunday Deadline
For Acceptance
Washington - (UPI) - Labor
Secretary W. Willard Wirtz
today urged the railroad man
agement and union leaders to
submit their strike - threaten
ing dispute to a unique pro
cedure of binding negotiation
on two major issues.
Wirtz asked both the rail
roads and the five railroad
unions to notify him by 1
p.m. (pdt) Sunday whether
they would accept his pro
posals for settling the snarl
over makeup of rail crews.
The labor secretary asked
the parties to negotiate for 20
days on both issues with As
sistant Labor Secretary G. J.
Reynolds participating. Reyn
olds would have the power
to assure a settlement.
The railroads announced
earlier that they would out
new work rules into effect
next Thursday - and the
unions said if this were done,
they would strike.
Question of Firemen
The main issues in the dis
pute are whether firemen are
needed on modern diesel en
gines and on the makeup of
track crews. These are called
the firemen and crew consist
issues. '
Both of the issues would be
settled on the basis of recom
mendations made by an emer
gency board, which President
Kennedy appointed earlier in
the dispute. The settlement
would be in effect for two
years during which time there
would be continuing negotia
tions on more permanent set
tlement of the issues.
The labor secretary said he
recommended the two pro
posed settlements and urged
their acceptance because both
sides had indicated acceptance
of the inevitability of either a
nationwide railroad shutdown
or the possibility of legisla
tion by Congress to end the
dispute.
Would Damage Economy
Wirtz said he could not ac
cept only these two alterna
tives. He said a shutdown
would damage the national
economy to an extent it could
not afford and legislation
would result inevitably in
weakening free collective bar
gaining. Wirtz emphasized that the
proposals did not constitute
compulsory arbitration. But
he said Reynolds would have
the responsibility for "sug
gesting a solution if the par
tics are not able to reach one
by themselves and to see that
a settlement is reached."
Table Rock Speed
Limit Is Sought
The Jackson county court
this morning approved a peti
tion for formation of a speed
zone through the Table Rock
community.
A petition asking for a
speed zone was signed by 60
Table Rock area residents.
The request will be for
warded to the state speed con
trol board. Residents are re
questing that the Table Rock
rd. from Sams Valley high
way to the Table Rock store
be posted at 45 miles per hour.
County Engineer Robert J.
Carstenscn said it is not nec
essary to post the area since
the state's understood speed
limit is 45 miles per hour.
Carstenscn said he has map
ped an improvement of the
curve which Table Rock area
residents feel is dangerous.
Straightening the curve will
take about three acres off the
Modoc orchard property, Car
stensen said.
The county court must ap

Adenauer Fail To
End Differences
Bonn, Germany (UPI) Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer and
French President Charles de
Gaulle apparently failed at a
two-day summit meeting that
ended nere today to settle
their differences over the fu
ture of Britain's relations with
the Common Market.
A joint communique issued
at the close of the meeting this
afternoon did not even men
tion the problem.
To Be Considered Again
Spokesmen for the French
and German delegations,
pressed by reporters, would
say only that the Common
Market question was discuss
ed and would be considered
again at a ministers meeting
of the six-nation economic
grouping in Brussels next
week.
f The -Germans had insisted
the question be considered at
today's meeting. But the
French, who had torpedoed
Britain's bid to enter the Com
mon Market were unwilling
to agree here on any organ
ized method , of maintaining
liaison between the market
and Britain.
French Foreign Ministry
press chief Claude Lebcl told
questioners only that "various
ideas were discussed."
Matter of Study
The communique reiterated
Thursday's failure by the I
French and German delega
tions to reach agreement on
common European grain
price, by saying tne wnoie
subject would be the matter
of a fresh export study.
The two governments, how
ever, did agree tney snouia
aim at common prices for
beef, dairy products and rice
by next spring.
De Gaulle has been visiting
West Germany in connection
with the friendship treaty con
cluded by the two nations re
cently. His trip came shortly
after President Kennedy's vis
it to West Germany during
which he hit out at some of
De Gaulle's policies.

recreation use by the BLM in
1958.
Construction of a hiking
trail on the north side of the
river from Grave creek to
Whiskey creek, a distance of
about four miles. Is not yet
completed, but is expected to
be finished in the near future.
Unforeseen difficulties tn con
struction delayed opening the
trail July 1, as previously
planned.
Getty said that with the
trail opening and subsequent
increased rccreatton uscage,
establishment of basic regu
lations governing use of the
trail and recreation area are
necessary. ...
Recommendations made by
the Medford district office of
the BLM will be presented
and discussed at the public
hearing, Getty noted.. -Among
Recommendations
Among recommendations
made was one limiting use of
the trail to hikers only, thus
prohibiting the use of two-
wheeled motor vehicles and
pack and trail horse riders.
This recommendation was
made, local BLM officials
pointed out, because of safety
reasons, since the trail in
many places is too dangerous
for travel other than by foot.
Getty said state and local
government agencies, the new
bureau of outdoor recreation,
which has overall responsi
bility for coordination of fed
eral recreation programs, the
forest service, various conser
vation organizations and oth
er interested groups and citi
zens have been invited to at
tend the public hearing.
