Newspaper Page Texto n Irrigation Work Sam Harbison, lawyer (or Medford Irrigation district, and Jack Hoffbuhr, MID manager, will work out the problem of including 40 acres of the Cas cade Ranches, Inc., at Lake Creek, with the Rogue River Valley Irrigation district, it was decided at Tuesday's MID board meeting. The ranch land would be irri gated from the joint system of RRVID and MID. Directors Gene Cameron and Paul Culbertson pointed out that MID is not getting 67 per cent of the water above Bradshaw drop as agreed to between the two districts although it is standing two-thirds of the costs. Statistics show that before the advent of the Talent proect, Bradshaw drop deliveries were 12,946 acre feet or 178.6 acre feet per day for 70 per cent of the total water and RRVID re ceived 5,519 acre feet, 76 acre feet per day for 30 per cent. In 1962 with use of Talent proj ect water, MID received 7,093 acre feet, or 97.2 acre feet per day or 61 per cent and RRVID received 4,500 acre tect, or 61.6 acre feet per day for 39 per cent. In 1963, so far, MID has received 7,538 acre feet or 62 per cent and RRVID has receiv ed 4,664 acre feet for 38 per cent. Hopes to Deduct Water Director Culbertson recom mended that MID be allowed to deduct the amount of water RRVID uses from the joint sys tem on certain tracts since RRVID gets all the revenues from the tracts. Hoffbuhr noted that MID is irrigating more acres in 1903. RRVID still draws the same percentage from the joint sys tem and MID is drawing a smaller percentage. However, when Agate dam and reservoir Is put in use MID would find itself probably in the same posi tion RRVID is in now, Hoff buhr pointed out. Culbertson called this "supposition." Cameron said RRVID wouldn't have enough water if it were held strictly to the percentage of water agreed upon, but feels the two districts should come closer to the agreed upon allo cation. Board Chairman Albert Hue ners stated that the district should determine its rights in the matter, then balance out the water use. Based on Storage It has been pointed out that the contract for the split of RRVID and MID water is based on the amount of storage avail able at Fish and Four Mile lakes.

This problem was referred bridges at South Stage rd., Grif- to the district s attorney. I During other business, the board decided to have Harbison contact Phoenix officials on re newal of the franchise which allows the MID canal rights-of-way through city streets and alleys. Culbertson said the legal position of the district should be definitely determined since the 50-year franchise is up in January, 1965. Harbison noted that earlier there was a question of whether the city could require MID to cover its canal. The police pow ers of the city, if any, in this matter would have to be deter mined, he said. The board confirmed an agreement which would give OBITUARIES MRS.

(Mit-up, i4-8c lb., 'le, 3S-2:ic Ih OREGON Teachers Students "There are students in our ! high schools tor'ay who will 1 stand upon the surface of Mars and Venus before they are 30," said Daniel W. Fry, former mis sile engineering executive, in a talk for the teachers ot Med ford and Ashland schools yester day. "We must do everything pos sible to prepare this generation for what it is going to do, he told the teachers. "We are go ing out into space, and we must be prepared for what we will find there." Fry went on to voice the opin ion that earth beings will find intelligent life on other planets. "It is statistically certain," he said, discussing estimates made earlier this year by a Harvard astronomer, "that at least one million planets in our galaxy at tained the ability to travel in space two million years ago." The speaker addressed a group of 500 at Hedrick Junior High school yesterday morning for an hour, and then spoke for two-and-a-half hours for 140 Ashland teachers at Ashland Junior High school in the after noon. Keep an Open Mind Specifically, he urged the teaching personnel to prepare today's generation for going out into space by teaching them to keep an open mind, submerge their egos and increase their scope of reality.

"Up to . now we ve stayed m our own back yard, and we've been able to beat ourselves on our chests ! and think how Important we are. But now we re getting ready to go out in other people's back yards, and we'd better pre pare for it." "We once thought we were the center of the universe," he explained. "Then our ego took a blow when we discovered that the earth merely revolves around the sun. One of Many Galaxies "Then our ego took another blow when we found that the sun is merely an insignificant star in a galaxy that has around 100 billion stars, and still an other blow when we found that our galaxy is merely one of many galaxies, at least 10 bil lion of them known today." The human race at that point still took comfort in believing that it was unique in the uni verse, but then astronomers be gan to discover that planets are a common occurrence through out creation, Fry said. Referring to the Harvard as tronomer's statistics on extra terrestrial life, he said the most pessimistic estimates are that only one star out of 10 has planets, but that each solar sys tem has an average of 10 plan els. "Therefore if we assume there are 100 billion stars in our galaxy, then there are about 100 billion planet s, he ex plained. Next, he said tile most pessi- m i s t i c estimates concerning which planets have conditions suitable for life are one in 100. which would leave one billion planets in the galaxy with such conditions. Then, he asked the audiences lo assume thai only one out of every 10 such planets with suitable conditions had actually developed life, which would still leave 100 million with life. Space Craft Travel Finally, assuming that only one out ot 100 of these had pass ed the earth's present level of development, there wouta oe one million planets with space cratt engaged in travel. "Life develops in the center of a galaxy first, and earth is located on the outer reaches ot its galaxy," he said, explaining whv he thought numerous civil izations in the Milky way naa achieved space travel as many as two million years ago. One member of the audience at Ashland asked Fry how be ings would traverse the im mense distances in space, to which he replied that he thought there was no limit to the speed with which men can learn to travel. "The theory of relativity does not say that man cannot travel faster than the speed of light," he remarked. "It merely says that no one on earth can ever see him do it." In other portions of his talks, Fry called the rocket concept outmoded and compared it to propelling a rowboal across a lake by throwing stones out the rear. "The problem is to propel the boat plus all the stones that remain to be thrown," he point ed out. "No intelligent man would use this concept if he were aware of other possibilities." Methods of Propulsion Referring to "other possibili ties" in regard to space travel, he predicted that the United Medford I ii Area Showing Beach Blankets- something's bound to happen!

He said the only reason such craft have not been developed before is that earth men have only recently come to realize i mat Bum piugJUlslull la pu&MUie. Throughout history, man's stumbling block has been his refusal to recognize that some-1 thing is possible," Fry said. ' "Once he recognizes that some thing is possible, it isn't long before he actually does it." Recognizing that things are possible was one of the points Fry appeared to be getting at when he urged teachers to en large 'he scope of their stu dents' concept of reality. "Reality doesn't exist at all," he said. "It is infinite. People just draw a circle around what they consider to be real, and all that circle shows is the level of consciousness they have reached." ! Canada has an area of 3,845, 144 square miles and a popula tion of about 17 million. The United States has an area of 3,022,387 square miles and a population of about 188 million.
