Former Residents of Hornbrook Return With New 'Member' of Family By KATHER1NE CHAP.M A.V I with friends, they brought with Mail Tribune Correspondent them the latest addition to their Hornbrook when former . family. residents Mr. and Mrs. James Dickison and children Shirley Karen, and Billy come to town to spend the Labor day week end Miss Hubbard Now at Miami EAGLE POINT - Oregon's Dairy Princess, Miss Georgia Hubbard of Eagle Point, left Sept.. 12 for Portland. She was met there by her official chaper one, Pat Straube or Portland, who accompanied her on the remainder of her trip to Miami Beach, Fla., where she will compete for the titleo f Ameri His rather unusual name is "Tar-button" and he is a 4-month-old grey fox. How this little grey fox be came a member of the Dickison family is a story that involves the mighty Feather river dam at Oroville, Calif, and one man's concern for the little wood s creatures displaced by the re lentless march of "progress." Dickison, a heavy equipment operator at the dam site, was startled several months ago to see a small ball of fire come streaking out of some brush and slashings being burned. He quickly leaped off his "cat" and rolled the small object in the dirt to extinguish the flames, then took it home to be nursed back to health by Mrs. Dickison. , By (CATHERINE HARRELL Mail Tribune Correspondent JACKSONVILLE -At a Jack somille Boosters' club meeting last week. Robertson Collins chairman, related details of an interview with Jack Sutton con cenuns the Jacksonville Histor ic Prvservatioa and Restoration project tor which Sutton is co ordinator. If an application for a $41,086 pant is approved, the federal government "ill finance a vfiri irasibility study prop-am. Collins said, which would radude reports by architects and engineers on the cost and a$ (o restore the mam busi ness core of Jacksonville. i The future benefits of a com- pined restoration would also be ! studied, such as the tourist draw of a new type of shopping center in the Rogue valley and how it would benefit the entire community. After the year's feasibility ttudy. Collins said, reports auk) be published on all as- ' pects of the study and be made ' available to the townspeople to i read. 1 ne citizens would then , ' - ! vote on whether they wished to " ' jhave the program continued or --Cf-v. j dropped. j In the event the plan were voted through, Collins said, the owners of buildings in the area i designated for restoration would be presented with architectural plans and other aid. The cost of restoration would not affect the taxes of any resi' dents not included in the res toration, according to the find ings put forth in the feasibility study. The federal government would follow up with what is called a three-to-one grant, so that each owner restoring his buildings would actually have to pay only about a quarter of the costs. The funds would be controlled by an urban restoration agency voted in by the people and placed under the jurisdiction of the city council. In the interview, Sutton went on to relate that the urban res toration agency would tell each owner the cost of restoring his buildings and will find him an outside loaning agency or bank with which to make financial arrangements. In the event the owner cannot afford the cost, or refuses to take part, the agency would call in three appraisers and have them make three individual esti mates of the value of the prop erty. The agency would then force the owner to sell and hold the property for another buyer who would agree to make the im provements. The property could not be sold for more than what was given the original owner. Each owner's investment, it was cited, would be protected by his neighbor's investment. It is intended that any capital in vestment would eventually come back to the persons who made the investment. There are two ways in which the Boosters' club could help the restoration project, Collins said. First, the club could make the community census report as described by the governmental census bureau, This win actual' ly start in January or February. Second, it could help inform the people of Jacksonville after the study is completed as to what is in the census report. There would be no pros and cons, Collins noted. The main and only objective would be to tell the citizens what they would be voting for. The meeting concluded with an announcement that on Dec. IS the government reports on the development study will be finished unless there is unfor- seen extra work, which would bring the reports to a conclusion in January or February. Regional Roundup .

According to District Superin tendent John Sugdcn, school closed last spring with 3S2 pu pils enrolled. Enrollment so far this fall has boosted attendance figures to 381 students, a growth of 29 pupils or one extra class room full. The school last year had 12 teachers for kindergarten through eighth grades. Averag ing 30 students per classroom there should still be an addition al 21 students to put some where, according to Sugden, and putting any more than 30 students per teacher is going to cut down very much on indivi dual help, he said. The upper grades are pretty well organized but the primary grades, first through third grades are the ones overcrowd ed, Sugdcn said. The board after much discus sion voted unanimously to have Sugden hire the 13th teacher for a class made up of second and third graders with the class be ing set up in one end of the multi-purpose room until better arrangements can be made. A class was set up in the multi-purpose room four years ago, but a temporary classroom was built from timber funds al lotted to the school bv the Coun ty Board of Education, which relieved the situation temporarily. jegionalCalendar I GOLD HILL Monday, 8 p.m., Amethyst Kcbckah Friendship club meeting at home o( Mrs. Paul Molloy.

When used after daylight hours, bicycles are to be equipp ed with a headlight that can be easily seen up to a distance of ', 300 leet, and a tail light or red (efloctor on the rear. Roberts further stated that a registration may be obtained at his oftice for 25c. This makes it Conversation overheard by uertna Hanscom, Phoenix, correspondent, while working at the Associated Packing House: First boy: Say, what do youi do to get a mouse out ot a car? Second boy: Well, I guess you ! better get some oil and oil it. First boy: Oh, I don't mean a squeak or noise, I mean a real I mouse. It s chewed holes all over the back seat. Second boy: Well, you could connect a hose from the ex haust to the inside of your car. close the windows and start the motor. Of course, you'd better get out yourself, but I guaran tee it will get your mouse. First boy: You know, I drove I up to a friend s house and while I was there we caught the! mouse. I threw it out along side t the road. I just couldn t kill it. But when I got back in my car to come home, darned if that mouse wasin't back in the car again. I "The second boy, laughing, went about his work," Bertha ; writes, "and whenever I looked I at him and saw him grining, I knew just what he was think- j ing about. It takes such a little ! thing (like a mouse) to brighten one s day. The "first boy" in the above , conversation should perhaps do a little research into the modern technique of talking to small animals. We recently came across an article en t i 1 1 e d "Speak Kindly to the Ants," in which the author describes her success in getting ants to leave ' her kitchen by politely telling them that because she hadn't invaded their anthill they should ; I not invade her home. The idea is , I sort of an extension of the Golden Rule. We've also heard of people leaving notes for ants and other insects. Now here's something the for est service and farmers ought ' I to look into. Personnel could fly i over the forests and fields with megaphones and tell the insects to leave the trees and produce alone. "You leave us alone and i we'll leave you alone," they could say. It would solve the pesticide controversy. 'Nuggets' From Siskiyou County The September issue of "Nug gets," the newsletter of the Sis- kiyou County Historical society, has arrived, and in it are sev eral paragraphs of general in-j tcrcst: il "More people have visited the 1 1 museum during the past three ! I montns man ever belore and that makes us proud and haD- py. . I We have a very beautiful wedding gown on display on the mezzanine floor that is well worth seeing, and our curator-. has rearanged the rock display in tne basement . . . "One little request if any one has a picture of George R Uulton who was the state sen ator for Siskiyou county in 1862- 63 and state controller from 1863 through 1867 could we please borrow it long enough to have a copy made. The present , state controller would liko to have a picture of each of those who has held office in the past ' and he has asked our help in finding one of Mr. Oulton.
