OPJEGOH , MEMBERS OF GROUP Members of a f roup of New York City young people hos . teling-are shown taking refreshments at Jackson campground in the Applegate re cently. They have travelled throughout the country on a chartered bus, and expect to be in San Francisco soon. Group of New Yorkers Camp At Jackson on Country Tour -Br MAUDE ZIEGLER Mall Tribune Cecietpondeni Applegate ViUey Almost anything can happen In hos-teling.-A curious dog-can eat the thawing hamburger, and the Aladdin lamp can be for gotten, at trie last .camping place. But none of this damp ened the ' spirit of 17 young people from New York City who- camped- a coupla ot day - at Jackson campground here recently. Hosteling 1 not a familiar term in the west,- but thesf youngsters, were, proud and nthusiastla booster of this educational travel club, and - wanted to see aome . groups ' world. started in Oregon as has been done in California. Midst much bustling and excitement over preparing lea and coffee and roasting marshmallows, the leaders of this troop from Metropolitan New York Council, American Youth Hostel, told of their tour of United States and of the background of hosteling, old in Europe, but started In United States in 1934. They said Vermont and Massachusetts have the great est number of hostels where their club or Individuals may ston in their tours of United States and of the RIRDING CVat By JOSEPH HICKS Although .'most of the birds have finished with their nesting activities, many-bird were still feeding their young during July and' one coot was seen building a nest at lower Klamath wildlife -refuge on July 17. Further observance of the nest I thought contained grass hopper sparrow eggs turned out to be the nest of a horned lark.. -Four young horned larka hatched out on July 4. - On ' July S only two young horned larks were seen near the nest. The. grasshopper sparrow' nest must have been in the near vicinity of the horned lark's nest, as I saw a pair of grasshopper sparrow on June 28 making repeated trips carrying insects In then- beak to the same area. However after much; searching, I never did find the grasshopper sparrow'-nest. The black phoebe that nested near the Applegala Rivet were seen protecting the nest on July 11, but on July 19 there ware none, near the area, Evidently the young had hatched and. departed. ' . This spring, the Rev. Thomas McCamant set himself a project to observe and report on nesting birds near Hub bard, Oregon. With the help of friends, he observed and reported 'the neat of 38 species of birds. An American goldfinch nest with six-goldfinch eggs and one cowblrd egg was" one. of hi most interesting finds. On a trip east of Mt. Hood, he found a golden eagle's nest with two' young eaglets. The nest was in Willow Creek Canyon and was located above a cliff containing the nests of 44 cliff swallow. On the same trip he found a William. son's sapsucker's nest in the yellow pine country just east of Ssntism Pass. About a dozen bank swallows' nests were seen on July 17 just south of the firing line road in Klamath county Evidently the young were hatched, for the swallows were making, frequent trips to and from the nests. . Avocets, western sandpipers, Wilson s phalaropes, snowy egrets, many small ducklings, and young cools were seen In the same -area. An immature least tern, very small with; noticeably black wing tips were seen by my wife Tnis is ine second lime tnat least terns have been seen on the lower wildlife refuge. . .. A ruffled grouse hen and about 10 young were seen the first week in July ori Roxy Ann by Mrs. L. Tompkins. The grouse hen was on a branch in a pine tree; when she flew the young grouse took flight from the ground. During July Mrs.. Tompkins took color photos of sage thrashers at Mal heur Wildlife Refuge and canyon wrens at Monticello Dam, California. Audubon Field Notes reports an influx of western birds In the eastern United States during the past winter. The prevalence of Oregon Juncos in the East during recent win ter, indicates that sightings are no longer classified as unusual. , In addition, 30 black headed grosbeaks were re ported from five eastern regions, 11 Bullock's orioles and green tailed towhees from three regions. Four western tanager were seen In Florida, and Audubon's warblers were observed In Michigan. . Another western bird, the house finch, was introduced into the East about 25 years ago. Now this bird is well established, as far north as Boston, as far south as North Carolina and west to Berks county, Penn. - - It seems very early to be writing about fall migration. However, ' western sandpipers were seen in this area on July 7.. They are one, of the earliest spring and fall mi grants. During August' and September, migration includ ing both-adult and young should be in full swing. The group visiting the Ap plegate travel by chartered bus of the Villani bus com pany of New York, New Jer sey, and California. They also brought their bicycles for traveling at the points they visit, since hostel clubs have a policy of traveling on their own power, whether by bike, horseback or canoe. The trip to th . Applegate was for resting up, however, and the bicycles were not unloaded. James Champ, the bus dri ver, whom the young people referred to as a great guy. remained In Medford while the young people were camp ing here. Miss Norma Van Felix and Harry Wyland were leaders of the troop. Both are New York City college students, Wyland a pre -medical stu dent. The boys and girls were from 14 to 16 years of age, and among them was Thomas Mueller, from Hamburg, Ger many, who said he delivered papers a whole year in order to make the American tour, which he calls his "dream." The chief comment of the youngsters regarding the trip which started July 1 was the pronounced cold weather with below freezing at Yel lowstone park and snow at Crater Lake. The highlight of the trip, they said was bi cycling up Mt. Rushmore in North Dakota. They are taking seven weeks for Ihcir trip, and three weeks of this time is spent in camping. The bus driver plans their Itinerary, House Committee Approves Bill For Land Trade Washington-OIPD-The House Public Lands subcommittee approved legislation designed to permit a land exchange be tween the slate of Oregon and B. Livestock Co. of Hcrmis ton. Ore. The bill, introduced by Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) and already passed by the Senate, would permit the exchange of 80 acres of land turned over to the state by the federal government for use as part of a 460-acr- cooperative agricul tural experiment station. It now goes to the parent House Interior committee for further consideration. James F. Doyle, assistant director of the Bureau of Land Management, said the Interior Department had no objection to the bill. Rep. Robert B. Duncan ID Ore.) said he had concluded it was a "desirable bill" which would help the fcedlot oper ator without hurting either the state or the federal gov ernment. The legislation is required because the land was turned over to the state on the con dition that it would revert to the federal government if ever used for any purpose other than as an experiment station. Permission to make the ex change for 80 acres of land now held by the company was requested by Oregon State university. Two Accidents Are Reported in City Two non-injury vehicle ac cidents were investigated by Medford city police Thursday, according to reports. Vehicles operated by Wil liam J.

Goldy, lold members of the City Club here Friday that the Northwest plywood and lumber industry may find a new market in the recent European trend towards in dividual homes instead of ma sonry apartments. Goldy, deputy assistant sec retary of commerce for busi ness development, spoke on the U.S. Commerce depart ment's outlook on American business at home and abroad. He said that if the coun try doesn't find a way of cracking the common market barrier, it will face the loss of export business to a rap idly growing overseas mar ket.

The feeder line will run generally along Jacksonville Highway, Ross lane and McAndrews rd. A second feeder line will be run from Barnett rd. and Riverside ave. generally along Stewart ave. and South Peach st. to connect to the transmis sion line near South Stage rd. It will consist of l'4 miles of 8-inch and 6-inch line. Cost About $150,000 The two feeder lines will cost approximately $150,000 and will be completed hy Oct. 1. All work will be per formed by local labor. The Lininger firm secured chine in time for the job. The machine is unusual in that the trenching wheel may be offset to either side to permit opening a ditch beside a paved road that has little or no shoulder. All pipe provided by the Moore Steel company is spec ially treated with an asphalt cover and outer wrap of plas tic or kraft paper to protect it from corrosion. After weld ing, but before the pipe is lowered into the trench, each joint is covered with a plastic tape.

When the Red Cross Blood Program reached the mid point of its second decade this year, it could look back on 15 years of'good deeds unique in both quality and magni tude, and forward to a career of even greater achievement. As the 15th anniversary was reached, total blood col lections neared the 35 million mark, local Red Cross of ficials noted. The decade and a half saw a phenomenal expansion. In the Blood Program's sec ond full fiscal year, 1949-50, donations were fewer than 700.000, although a majority of the present big-city region al centers were already in op eration. In the current fiscal year, that total will be nearly quadrupled, to exceed 2,600,-000. There are no statistics on the number of lives actually saved with the help of blood collected by the Red Cross. Probably they would reach into the tens, even hundreds of thousands. Do Not Indicate Nor are there figures to in dicate the number of patients aided in their struggles from illness back to health by the blood fraction gamma globu lin, of which millions of units have been distributed by the Red Cross without charge to public health agencies, phys icians, and hospitals. To hospitals also have gone other blood derivatives-serum albumin lo combat shock from burns and other injuries, fibrinogen to control hemor rhaging in childbirth cases, and vaccinia immune globu lin, a special kind of gamma globulin which counteracts serious reactions to smallpox j vaccination. j Others who have benefited i from the Red Cross blood pro-1 gram have been thousands of hemophiliacs, boys and men whose blond will not clot readily after an injury. ' Five years ago the Blood Program embarked on an ex pansion of its research activ ity. Now one of the prime ob jectives of Red Cross research is to develop a practicable method of producing in) quantity antihemophilic glo bulin, which can be used to treat hemophiliacs mora speedily and effectively than the fresh-frozen plasma now being used. Other Aims Noted Other aims of the research program are to perfect the freezing technique of long, term preservation of blood; to build up a file of person who have blood with extreme' Iy rare antibodies or varia tions from the eight main groups and types, and to test the effectiveness of another blood fraction, fibrinolysin, in dissolving blood clots. Jackson county resident will have four occasions dur ins August lo participate in the blood program. The Blood mobile, will be in Prospect Aug. 5, in Rogue River Aug. 7 and in Medford Aug. U and 13. The Bloodmobile will he at the community hall in Pros pect from 2 to 6 p.m.. Aug. 5, According to Mrs. James H. Grieve, chairman, the quota for this visit will be 50 pint of blood.
