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."

Happy Camp Bear
Are Just Getting
Too Friendly
By HAZEL DAVIS
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Happy Camp-According to
reports from fishermen ana
campers in this area, the bear
just aren't what they used to
be.
They're getting too friendly-
The bear used to run away
when humans approached, but
now they just stand there and
watch the people run.
May Be Imports
One story now making the
rounds is that bear have been
brought to the Klamath river
area from overcrowded parks
and zoos. Many residents are
now beginning to believe it.
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.
The men, who are camped
there, have come home at
night to find trailer house
windows broken and grub
boxes either broken into or
packed out into the brush.

Not Satisfied
"The City Council of Rogue
River is not satisfied with the
fire protection it has been
providing to our city. Much
thought has been given to the
problem, and the council has
not been able to come up with
a solution, due to two fac
tors, namely, lack of money
to hire a full-time fire chief
available at the fire station
on a 24 hour a day basis and
thA jshnrtnpp nf mialtflpH mnn I
power. Property values have
increased and the city has
grown, but our fire fighting
potential has not kept pace
with that growth. The coun
cil recognizes this all too well
