1 V 6 A SUNDAY. AUGUST 4. 163 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE MEDFORD. OREGON (tat) No Plans Under Way For Termination of Summer Home Sites There is no planning under way or termination of vaca tion home permits in the Un ion Creek area to provide pic nic and campground sites at this time, Emil Sabol, ranger on the Union Creek district, told members of the Summer Homes association at the an nual picnic at Union Creek recently. Ranger Sabol's discussion of the often heard rumor fol lowed the reading of a com munication from the National Forest Recreation association, inviting the Union Creek sum mer home owners to affiliate with this association which is resisting such moves. This association, Sabol ex plained, has been in existence for some time for people hold ing permits other than sum mer home permits. Some homes, he said he had been told, have been taken '"Wal M t.wl Fa. I N PORTLAND I in the region and in Califor- cedure followed, however, whenever the government takes such action. It is never an overnight move. If any consideration is given to the transfer of an area the government repre sentatives meet with the va vation home owners, who are notified far in advance. They are given an opportunity to amortize their interests and are reimbursed for whatever is left. There is no occasion for such planning in this area as long as recreation sites in the Rogue River region have not been exhausted, Sabol said. He added that no one could look into the crystal ball and predict what might happen in 30 years. In the forest service plan ning, he expanded his explan ation, picnic areas, camp grounds and organizational nia. There is a definite pro-&s are given priority over the vacation homes of individ uals. This is to satisfy the needs of the groirf demwdfc for recreational sites through out the nation. Aiivr Cemplainis Answering complaints that the general public shows little appreciation of the scenery and is constantly littering the area with beer cans and pa pers, Sabol said the forest service crew has done its best to provide garbage cans in hopes people will use them. There are many areas still undeveloped for campgrounds, Sabol said in conclusion, and these will be developed, in his opinion, before there is any encroachment upon summer home sites. Upon suggestion of Fred Pramann, president of the Un ion Creek Summer Home Owners association, the invi tation to affiliate with the National Boret Recreation aciatWM tabled. IarlN, Sabsl iasormed the trails tki. new campgrounds planaed by the forest service will be pay campgrounds once the water system is established. Farewell ' Bend, which provides 37 camps, will be earmarked as a pay camp and so will the Union Creek campground, which will have 100 units. Discuss Water Question Considerable d i s c u ssion was given to the water ques tion and Herb Barth, assist ant ranger for recreation agreed that the more the rec reation area is used the more danger there will be of con tamination. "I don't know anyone who has become ill from drinking mountain stream water," Sa bol stated, but agreed with Barth that the best advice to home owners was to put in their own systems and chlorin ators. The No. 1 project on the Union Creek district is instal lation of a new water system for the headquarters. The for est service is having to con vert the public drinking sup ply to eliminate all surface water or chlorinate. The chances of contamination are low with the little use, but with steady use people would be taking a definite chance, it was explained. There will be a new road into the summer homes areas the rangers said. All the sur veys have been completed but the contractor's bids were so far above estimates they were rejected In the annual election held at the close of the meeting, John Henson of Medford was elected president of the as sociation to succeed Pramann and Mrs. Jay Aln, also of Medford, was chosen secretary-treasurer to succeed Mrs. Henson.

One hundred books in the exchange arrived from Jose phine county last week. The recent collection from Josephine county included chiefly mysteries. An effort is constantly made in the three-way project to circulate a variety of books, Bacon said. A sticker listing the owner ship of the books is placed in each volume. The exchange is a "true share the books" project. Ba con said. Morning Glory Seed Sales Bring Warning Washington (UPD Sen. Vance Hartke says the reason morning glory seeds are sell ing so well is that teen-agers have found they can get their kicks from eating them. Hartke, an Indiana Demo crat, asked the Senate Com merce committee Thursday to investigate whether sale of the seeds should be control led. He said the seeds contain substance like that found in a hallucination-producing drug called LSD25 which, he said, is a dangerous and vio lent poison.

V.-Have I a chance to get my apartment back. I'm 71, with no choice now but to move to a home. Five years ago I made the mistake of inviting my son and his bride to share my premises. He'd just been discharged from the Army and they were living in a cheap furnished room. I though it would be temporary, but they never budged to look for a place of their own now they have two children and I'm crowd ed out. Mrs. Amy V. My mcther-jn-law had been complain ing that the care of her four room apartment was too hard for her. She had been think ing of giving it up, but our marriage enabled her to keep it. My husband took over most of the expenses, I did the cleaning, cooking and laun dry. Naturally things got cramped when our first baby arrived. But we thought Mother would go back to her old plan of finding a smaller place. The Council: How long is temporary, anyway? The only answer that covers is "any length of time short of perma nent." And among relatives "temporary" can easily grow into forever. Who signs pa pers in a mother - son deal such as Mrs. V. offered? . . . This is a prickly situation. Mrs. V. made the grand ges ture of rescuing the newly weds from a "hole in the wall," although they didn't mind it. Chances are that otherwise she'd have given up her quart- CHOWD AT FAIR O Gresham -(UPD- The MffSm. mah County Fair reported an other good day Friday with crowds of 17,490 nearly 7,000 more than the second fair day last year. ers long ago. But now after having had the aid and com panionship of her children and grandchildren, she calls her change of residence a "forced" one, accusing the young folks virtually of evict-1 ing her. . . Let's label the dispute a misunderstanding, each side assuming the other would move out. Now it's up to the younger pair to ask Mrs. V. whether she really ! wants to maintain the apart-1 ment alone. We doubt it. Her ! plea now is more in the na-! ture of a reminder as to whose place it is. With ap preciative help from her "guests," she'll "go quietly."

NEW HEATL'R Named the "Controlled Draft Orchard Heater," this new version of the orchard heater used in the Rogue valley gives up to five hours of smokeless heat with presto logs or saturated sawdust. The lid on the top of the heater can be slid over for water-proofing and also can be fanned out toward the bottom for dispersion of heat. Demonstrations of the use and versatility of the new heater will be made by its inventor, W. O. Shoemaker, 1748 Pres cott lane, Springfield, Ore., upon request. Shoemaker dem onstrated the heater in Medford last week for interested area orchardists. CRATER LAKE MOTORS "VAN" BUREN SPECIAL Buy At Wholesale! '63 RAMBLER Classic 4-dr.
