JA- Regional Roundup By Clev Twltchell Regional Editor L We have just returned from two weeks of vacation during which we did a little bit of numerous things and a great deal of nothing. The latter category was the more enjoy able. During part of the time we played host to mother and father from New York (their real names, according to our 3' year old son, are "grand mudder" and "grandfodder"). Inasmuch as the senior Twit chells had never before seen the state of Jefferson, we took them around ... to Cra ter Lake, Shakespeare, the Caves, the Redwoods, the Coast and Lassen park. During the remainder of the vacation period, we pick ed blackberries, played soft ball, took naps, signed one of the tax referral petitions (we are still enough of an idealist to think that if some thing isn't right, an effort should be made to change it) and got in on the last day of the Peter Britt Music festival in Jacksonville. We were particularly inv pressed with the way Jack sonville blossomed during the music festival. Even with mounds of earth scattered about because of the sewer construction, the town seemed seemed to have something special, an indication perhaps of what it will be like when more of the development proj ects are completed. Bertha It The Bulbs From the looks of our mail, some of the regional corre spondents had their troubles while we were away. With Bertha Hanscom of Phoenix, the problem was lightbulbs. "One evening when I turn ed on a floor lamp," she writes, "there was a hiss, a flash of blue light, and the bulb was gone. So - I took a bulb from a light in the kitchen for the floor lamp, and took a bulb from the bed room for the kitchen. "Well, this wouldn't work because I had to have a light in the bedroom, so 1 took another bulb from another floor lamp for the bedroom, but this one was already burn ed out, so I took the light back from the kitchen to use in the bedroom, but that still left no light in the kitchen. "I looked at still another floor lamp, but it had a huge bulb that wouldn't lit in tne kitchen. My desk lamp would have a bulb, of course, but then I remembered that I had taken that one a long time ago. "Well, there was nothing to do but to take a yellow bug light from the porch. Then I remembered the bath room light, so I took the bulb from there to put In the kitch en. Then there was no light in the bathroom. You can guess what happened. The yel low light from the porch went into the bathroom. "Every time I went to the store after that I forgot to buy bulbs. Finally last week dear thoughtful husband brought home some bulbs. He probably got tired of seeing yellow."

Loren Cummins of Horn brook was one of the first to report how tame the bear have become. While fishing on Elk Creek with his partner Charles Ling he saw a huge bear with a head the size of a five gallon paint can standing just few feet off the trail on which they were walking. Not wishing to disturb the bear, Cummins pretended not to see him and walked right on by, watching the bear only out of the corner of his eye. The bear showed no fright at all, he said. Some Just Aggressive Some of the bears have been more than friendly. They've been downright ag gressive, according to reports from loggers in the Camp Three area near Somes Bar.
