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.

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.

Happy Camp School
Faces Problem
Of Overcrowding
HAPPY CAMP-Happy Camp
Union Elementary School board
members met for their regular
meeting this week and were
faced with the problem of what
to do with a growth not antici
pated at this time.
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.

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.

Algerian Group
Visits Shasta Valley,

recent Sunday in Shasta valley.
The seven traveled by chartered

While in Shasta valley the
