A 8 Members Retire to By A. LOUIS DAY Mail Tribuna Coircipondtnt Trail - Two of the most re. cent residents to locate in the Trail creek area are brothers, Steve and Joseph Zamaria members of a well-known Ohio family distinguished for its war service record. Both are veterans of World War II, and are now retired from the Navy. Pending construction of their home, they are staying with another retired Navy man, George Barney, who also was a shipmate and friend of Joe. Their proporety is about 1V4 miles northwest of Trail along Highway 227. Steve said there were seV' eral considerations that Influ enced their decision to select the spot they did. Prin cipally, however, they want ed to get away from the smog, general confusion and traffic congestion of big city living. After a full career of service travel and excitement, both aiirced they couldn't have chosen a more peaceful and - tranquil site. Survived Attack Numbered among the ser vicemen who survived the Japanese attack on Pearl Har bor, Dec. 7, 1941, Steve was serving aboard the USS Vega, cargo ship at the time. Steve also was a member of the task force that took Atlu Island in the Aleutians back from the Japanese. The Vega was later converted to a torpedo-net-laying ship, and strung nets at Attu and in the Marshall Islands. In 1947, Steve left the Navy and joined the Army Air Force, spending most of his time as the skipper of an 86 foot crash boat in the waters around Guam. But in 1930 Steve was back In the Navy, and helped in the recommis sionlng of the USS Cambria (APA-36) in Norfolk, Va.

MEDFOHD land, Ohio, for its distinguished record of war service. Both men are veterans of World War II and are now retired from the U.S. Navy. town, Ohio, where he retired in 1962. Joe made many sub war pa trols while his ships were at tached to the Pacific Seventh Fleet, but he says that one of the most memorable was when his sub, the USS Barb, was ordered to proceed to the China Coast, investigate the harbor at Namkwan, and des troy any Japanese ships pres ent. Slip Into Harbor Slipping into the harbor it self, under cover of darkness, they found an assortment of 30 fighting and merchant ships anchored and moored. They were so congregated as to make a torpedo miss al most impossible. The Barb fired 10 torpedoes, and every missie registered a hit. Steve and Joe come from a family of 13, and the Plain Dealer, a Cleveland, Ohio, newspaper, described it as a family "where patriotism was contagious." Their Armed Forces partici pation record reads almost like the story of a one-family effort, to single-handedly win world War II. Mrs. Zamaria was the outstanding Blue-Star Mother of the state of Ohio, for at one time there were seven members of her family in unitorm, and in active thea ter ot war. Although the Zamaria fam ily was represented at one time or another in all parts or me Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Hawaii, Spain, Italy, Tunisia, Arabia, Germany and Japan, luckily, none of tliem was ever injured.

Champ lin. The figure represents a de crease of 36 over the 111 re ported during June, 1962, the report showed. Of the 75 re ported last month, 26 were closed for a 34.7 average. Thefts of items with a value of less than $50 exceed ed all other violations. Next highest category of viola tions was burglaries; 14 were investigated by police during June.

A total of 45 cases of em bezzlement and fraud, most ly matters involving bad checks, were investigated, and of that number about 22 were closed. The report stated there were 62 cases of drunken ness in the city last month, and 15 instances of disorder ly conduct. , Officers issued 196 cita tions last month for violation of road and driving laws, and 3,534 parking tickets were issued. Seventy motor vehicle ac cidents occurred In Medford during June, and 29 persons reported injuries. There were no fatalities. Other Attributes Besides Speed Grace Greyhounds The silly thing doesn't even look much like a rabbit, but that- is what it is called. It travels on a track and is run by electricity. Its speed is ad justed just fast enough to al ways stay a sale distance ahead of the fastest grey hound that is chasing it. It has always been a de batable question whether the eager dogs that chase this me chanical rabbit are really fooled Into thinking it is alive or, more likely, the dog chases it just for fun. Prob ably they know they are being fooled but they enjoy the game-that is the nature of the greyhound. Whatever the reason, trained grey hounds furnish sport for those folks interested in finding out which dog can run faster than some other dog. Intelligent Animal The word greyhound and speed are synonymous. Mere ly the appearance of this ani mal is suggestive of rapid mo tion, and the dog is built for it. He is also a very intelli gent animal and has a nat ural, inborn facility not brought into play in grey hound racing. This is no dis credit to him, but simply shows his eagerness, obedi ence and adaptability. Unlike the true hound, as well as many other dogs whose nose serves as a guide, the greyhound depends on his keen eyesight. This is the rea son, aside from his natural tractability, why this breed of dog so willingly chases the mechanical rabbit around the track. The dog sees the rabbit and follows him by sight. The greyhound proved, thousands of years ago, it was the proper companion to the man who desired game to cat. The animal could see the game, even a creature as small as a hare, from a con siderable distance and he had the speed necessary to run it down. Loyalty, Ariitocraiic The ancient Egyptians from as far back as 3,500 years ap preciated the loyalty and aris tocratic bearing of the grey hound. On the walls of an cient temples of that time were painted pictures of hunt ing dogs that closely resemble today's greyhounds, indicat ing this breed of dog wag a favorite with those people. About 1,000 years ago, greyhounds were used as hunting dogs in England in the capture of deer, hares and other game which would run instead of hide.

The first finding of the committee was that frequen cy of service is the major problem. There would be suf ficient seats available in air service in and out of Medford if the schedules were proper ly spaced to accommodate public need, the committee reported. Fares are first class and the service is tourist class, the committee complained. Members further contended that schedules are established without an attempt to satisfy local needs with the times changed from month to month, year after year. Seek Round-Trip Pacific Airlines, as a result of the study, will be asked to give no less than one round-trip per day from San Francisco to Medford via the valley route and no less than one round-trip per day via the coast route. Equipment, the committee directive states should be at least as good as that used to serve southern California cities. West Coast Airlines is ask ed to continue the good serv ice offered to intermediate cities between Medford and Portland. It is advised not to become a trunk carrier unless Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Register end Tribune Syndic.!. ".9631 Creek scholar, who lived be fore the birth of Christ, wrote glowingly of the intelligence and speed of the dog with the aristocratic bearing, which certainly meant the grey hound. Even today's student of dog breeding and canine ancestry is not too sure where this dog got its name. Probably grey was the prevaUing color of this breed but there are indi cations of other reasons which raise a debatable question. The Greek word "graius" could be credited to Ovid who so accurately described the greyhound. Also there was an English word "greg," mean ing dog, that may have evolved to sound like grey then the word "hound" added to it. The reason for the name is not important. It is enough to know that the greyhound who willingly chases a false rabbit is not so dumb. He is smart enough to enjoy performing for a grandstand full of peo ple. , Stock Purchase Is Made by Employees Purchases of the outstand ing capital stock of First Cali fornia Company by a group of employees under a plan of acquisition which will even tually enable every employee to own shares in the company, has been reported here. The purchase price was not disclosed. The stock is that which was acquired June 18 by Olm stead, Allen and company, a Los Angeles investment firm. John F. Egan, president of First California company, in jointly announcing the agree ment with Olmstcad, Allen and company, said, "The ac quisition of First California company by its employees is an event we have eagerly looked forward to for many years." Gardner Joins Staff Of Realty Company Jack J. Gardner, route 1. box 285. Talent, has joined the Central Point office of AAA Nationwide realty, ac cording to Tom Phelps, AAA Nationwide realty manager. Gardner has lived in the Medford area since 1935. Gardner was associated with Fluhrcr's Bakery for approx imately 15 years. He is ac tive in the Medford Elks club and the Rogue Valley Retreiv- ers club. the established trunk carrier is unable or unwilling to pro vide service consistent with public needs. United Airlines will be urged to "pay attention to lo cal needs." Its sales represen tatives should become increas ingly familiar with local needs by meeting wiiU the chamber of commerce com mittee and attempting to un derstand the committee's re quests, the chamber of com merce group stated. The committee asked that the board of directors of the chamber of commerce make it clear to United Airlines that these things should be done if continued good will support is to be forthcoming. tu . e, committee suggested that West Coast Airlines be thanked for its service ef forts. Ask for Authorisation The aviation committee ask ed that the board of directors of the chamber of commerce authorize letters to be writ ten to the Civil Aeronautics board, Oregon state board of aeronautics, Public Utilities commissioner for Oregon U.S. senators and representa tives, presenting the findings of the committee. The committee concluded the report with a decision to review the investigation from time to time and to make a report with recommendations to the board of directors ev ery six months. The committee also askort the chamber of board to send letters tn he airlines representatives who made themselves available for the conference, thanking them tor their cooperation.
