It does wonders. And so for the benefit of any city councilmen or other valley residents who may have been subjected to abuse recently, we are reprinting the following excerpts from a news story that appeared in the July 11 issue of the Cloverdale (Calif.) Reveille. We suggest that you clip it out and stick it away in a corner. You might need it some day. The article was entitled "Capacity Crowd Attends Stormy Council Session." Portions of it went like this: "The regular meeting, which began at 8 p.m. and continued until 1:30 a.m. before a capacity audience, was frequently enlivened by verbal disputes involving councilmen and the audience. One citizen was threat ened with ejection by Mayor Leroy O. Johnson for interrupting the chair. "One of the topics of controversy was the boiler at the sewage disposal plant, which Mr. Whipple and Walter E. Brelje, city engineering consultant, stated was beyond repair and should be replaced. Mr. Poltrone asked who had authorized a trip which Mr. Whipple had made to San Francisco to seek bids for a new boiler . . . "Mr. Field introduced a motion to purchase a boiler from Power Boiler Sales, Inc. of San Francisco for $428 plus tax. Several persons spoke from the floor, with discussion becoming so heated that Rev, R. Vaughn Smith, pastor of the Methodist church, admonished one speaker on the use of profanity , . . "Disagreement first erupted at the outset of the meeting, with the reading of the minutes. Mr. Poltrone challenged the wording of the minutes for the June 4 meeting, concerning the fencing of the ball park. After a quarter-hour discussion, the council amended one word . . . "Following the boiler dispute Mr. Poltone questioned mileage payments to Mr. Holmes and William McCul loch, members of the airport commission. Mr. McCulloch explained the validity of the payments , . . "Mr. Poltrone then questioned the fact that 95 gallons of gasoline were unaccounted for in the city's gasoline report. He asked who had keys to the tank. The state ment was made that the loss was 'probably' due to evaporation ..." Which goes to show that life is pretty much the same all over. How To Report Sunday Fires in Phoenix Outlined Grants Pass United Fund Lowers Goal To $29,950 Grants Pass - A reduced goal of $29,050, described as more "realistic," has been set for the annual United Fund drive here this fall, it was announced by M. L. Cudd, drive chairman. The new goal - was an nounced after campaigns in two previous years failed to raise an allotted $35,500. This years drive will be keyed to a realistic approach," Cudd said. "Our agencies will be able to plan on the money we have allotted them, not some undetermined reduction. "Even our own administra tive and campaign expense budget was slashed to get a realistic goal," he added. Starting dale for the Sep- l tember drive is yet to be set. Phoenix - Any Phoenix res ident who is unable to reach the Phoenix Volunteer Fire department to report a fire on a Sunday should call the Jackson County Sheriff's de partment, advised Mayor Dar rell Paxson today. The mayor's statement was an outgrowth of, an incident last Sunday in which a city resident, attempting to report a fire at his home, was unable to reach either the city fire or police department and fin ally had to call the mayor himself. The telephone number of the Phoenix Volunteer Fire department rings in the homes of three members of the department, Paxson ex plained. It happened last Sunday that all three were not at home, so the phone went unanswered. The caller next dialed the number of the city hall, but since it is closed on Sundays, that phone did not answer either. The county sheriff's depart ment can reach the Phoenix police on Sundays, however, Paxson pointed out, explain ing why residents should con tact the sheriff's office if they cannot reach local firemen. The sheriff's office phone number is 773-3607. The Phoenix police, in turn, know which firemen are home on Sundays and can contact them. Gold Hill Chamber To Meet Thursday Gold Hill Members and guests of Gold Hill Chamber of Commerce will meet Thursday at 12 noon for a no host luncheon and business session at Rogue Riviera res taurant. At a recent meeting of the chamber held at the Darda nelle restaurant guest speak er was Charles S. Collins, ex ecutive vice-president of Cal O r e Recreational Develop ment association. Collins ex plained that the organization represents an area composed of five counties, four in Ore gon and one in California. Object of the association he stated is to promote new rec reational projects and expan sion of present facilities to keep pace with the rapid in crease and public demand. He said the non-profit corpo ration's operating funds are derived by. pro-rata assess ments of member counties and subscriptions from pri vate sources. The guest speaker showed slides of various recreational sites both those that are com pleted and those under con sideration. He also showed a drawing of the proposed Gold Nugget park to be located on highway 234 about 1V4 miles from the city of Gold Hill. Work on the project should get started, he said, in the near future. He said prelimi nary work such as acquiring property, grading and drilling for water is to be done by Bu reau of Land Management, after which the balance of development of the park is to be done by the state, as the park is adjacent to state high way 234. Arrangements were made with Frank Sutcliffe for a Chamber of Commerce tour of the Ideal Cement plant at Gold Hill on July 13. The business session was conducted by Ralph A. James, president.

Regional News 7 f ' Marian Southard of Happy Camp, ANOTHER CATCH well known for his "cat" hunting abilities, poses with his latest catch, a mountain lion killed near the Ti Bar guard station July 9. Mountain Lion Killed Near Ti Bar Station By HAZEL DAVIS Mail Tribune Correspondent Happy Camp- - Marian Southard and his hunting hounds brought home another mountain lion, this one killed near the Ti Bar Guard station on July 9. Southard figured the male cat was about 2 years old and weighed about 60 pounds. According to Southard, who is well - known for his hunt ing knowledge of these ani mals, he received word from Earman Pence of the Happy Camp Ranger station that a cat had been seen near the station at Ti Bar right behind some residences. The report stated that a lit tle boy was playing near his home and went into the house to tell his father to come out and look at the "kitty cat." Upon examination, it was found to be quite a large "cat" and the call went out for someone to track down the animal as it was gone before anyone at the station realized what was in their midst. Southard and his two hounds found the track that morning and before long tha dogs jumped the cat and ran it about five minutes before treeing the animal. Southard said that he thought there might be a second cat around and that he hunted for quite awhile after the kill. He found where a deer had been killed by the cat just a short while before it was jumped by the dogs. South ard said he planned to return to the place and maybe find the second cat, that he was sure was around there some where. Marian Southard has been long known for his hunting skill with these animals, sometimes staying for days with his hounds on a trail be fore treeing their animal. Southard will collect a $50 Siskiyou County bounty for his kill. The state just recent ly removed the bounty from the head of mountain lions.
