hi . I PET TALK Sy M. 1. 1. THE VALUE OF LITTLE THINGS Everything worthwhile in life is accomplished a step at a time. Little by little, first by learning the alphabet, we achieve our education. The person who attains true suc cess and deepening of charac ter grows slowly, daily, in grace, adding a little here and there. Little things truly make up and help sweeten life-the kind word, look and deed. It is the greatest mis take to refrain from doing anything because one can do only a little. From California comes word about effective legisla tion: The willful abandon ment of a cat or dog made un lawful, punishable as a mis demeanor. The baby chick, duck and rabbit bill, prohibit ing dyeing and give-away of baby fowl and rabbits as an advertising gimmick was strengthened by an amend ment which increases the pen alties. Many unfavorable bills were defeated and other good bills were passed during the 1963 session. This legislation was accomplished by the let ters and telegrams from hu mane organizations' officers and members and hard work at Sacramento. From Friends of Animals, Inc., N. Y., comes the report that they have 100 volunteers, working in 26 states, taking applications for the financing of spaying cats and dogs. This means a great reduction in homeless animals, because some people gave a little time. So many letters were writ ten in regard to "Bull-fighting" on TV that many com panies have refused to spon sor shows of that nature-including rodeos, where many steers are crippled or killed instead of one bull per fight. The Oregon State fair has eliminated rodeos from its program in favor of horse shows. The Wyoming Humane so ciety has taken legal action to compel the state veterinar ian to halt steer-roping in ro deos. This would be the en forcement of the state's anti cruelty law. These protests show that many people have given a little of their personal time and effort to carry on the work for the most helpless, with no other defense than their appealing eyes. The Circle of Compassion , The circle grows and widens With every act of mine Like boundless ripples in a pool, Like beams from candle-shine- Encompassing all helpless ones, In sharing, working, giving, In little things, in love and care, We reach the heart of living. Write that letter to your congressmen today in regard to the laboratory bill. PROFESSOR COMMENDED Ashland-Dr. Irene Hollen beck, professor of science and education at Southern Ore gon college, has been com mended by the American As sociation of University Wom en for her contributions made through her membership on the committee of higher edu cation, Dr. Elmo N. Steven son, president of Southern Oregon college, has announced.

Rirtrside On the Air By ELEANOR WIESE The Sonoran Desert of Ari zona as viewed by Joseph Wood Krutch, one of Amer ica's distinguished naturalists and philosophers, will be one of the summer's most unusual TV offerings when "The Voice of the Desert" is broadcast Thursday at 10 p.m. on KMED-TV. Professor Krutch's observa tions on the desert and the lessons its plant and animal life can offer man are illus trated with beautiful scenes showing the outlandish boo gum tree, the giant saguaro cactus, the mysterious aban doned cliff dwellings of an cient Indians, and the tapestry of spring wild flowers. No ordinary naturalist, Pro fessor Krutch has found a new life in the Sonoran Desert aft ter a long career as professor of dramatic literature at Co lumbia university, drama cri tic, essayist and biographer. He sees the wild creatures of the desert as part of a grand plan and sharply criti cizes his fellow man as the destroyer of the wilderness. In speaking of the road-runner, for example, Krutch says, "Not everybody loves the road-runner. Nothing is so likely to make an animal un popular as the tendency to eat things which we ourselves would like to eat. And the road-runner is guilty of just this wickedness. He is accused of varying his diet with an occasional baby quail itself. "Sportsmen are afraid that this reduces the number they will be able to kill in their more efficient way. And so, naturally, they feel that the road-runner should be elimi nated. He and the quail have gone along together for quite a long while. Neither seems likely to eliminate the other. Man on the other hand, may very easily eliminate both. It is the kind of thing at which he is best." JO STAFFORD SHOW, 9 p.m. Sunday KBES-TV.

I I OPEN FRIDAY NIGHTS 114 West Main Street Phone 772-9351 . i MEDFORD Medford Council Defers Action A request by a Medford in surance company for a sign variance was deferred to a joint meeting of the planniing commission and the city coun cil at the latter group's Thursday night meeting. The request, made by Le land Clark of Oregon Mutual Fire Insurance company, had received a unanimously nega tive recommendation by the planning commission at its Aug. 8 meeting. Clark told the council he wished to erect an eight square foot sign to advertise the location of his firm in Kliever Noted on Princeton List Douglas Edward Klie v e r, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Kliever, 1008 Mira Mar ave., Medford, is one of 400 Princeton University under graduates named to the Dean's list for scholastic achieve ments during the past aca demic year, according to Mer rill Knapp, dean of the col lege. He is the only student from Oregon on the list. This is the first year that Princeton has signified aca demic distinction by means of a dean's list. In the past, par ents of students with a 2.0 average and higher, necessary qualification for the list, were sent letters of commendation. Kliever, who completed his junior year at Princeton, is spending the summer working on the staff of U.S. Sen. Wayne Morse in Washington, D.C. He graduated from Med ford High school in 1960. 3 PIECE COOISDIIMAT MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. the Oregon Bank building on Jackson st. He said the sign would be exactly the same size as the sign of a previous tenant in that location. Clark said that instead of changing the copy in the existing sign when he moved in, he had ordered a new sign from a different firm because of differences in costs. Report to Council In their report to the coun cil, the planning commission pointed out that the previous sign "was intentionally made non-conforming ... so that it could be removed if It were structurally altered, which is in keeping with the purpose and intent of the non-conforming provisions in the zoning ordinance." The report further stated that "the commission believes that the business can be ad equately identified by instal ling a sign which conforms to the sign regulations and that re-establishing this non conforming sign would set a precedent which the commis sion would not want to do. The motion to refer the matter to a joint meeting of the groups was made by Coun cilman Richard Travis. It Second Degree Murder Charged at Klamath Klamath Falls -IUPD- Wesley Dean, 57, Klamath Falls, has been indicted by a county grand jury on a second de gree murder.
