MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON
Regional Roundup
by Clsve Twitchell
Mail Tribun Regional Editor
Priscilla Averill, our correspondent in Grants Pass, has a
tale to tell which illustrates the extent to which automation
is creeping into our lives:
"Like every parent who ever sent his son off to college,"
she writes, "we scanned the mail eagerly for news of his ar
rival and impressions of first days there but after years of
pushing him to his desk to write 'thank-you' notes, etc., we
had little hope that this would be forthcoming very promptly.
"Imagine our astonishment when, only a few short days
after his arrival at an eastern university we found in the
mail a neatly punched IBM card! The "mother-hen" college,
knowing that parents want to hear what students are apt to
put off writing, had included in the student's numerous reg
istration papers the following IBM card with blanks all ready
to be filled in:
" 'Dear Folks: I registered at Syracuse University on
September ... 196.., in the College of Engineering. My Syra
cuse address is The phone number of my
residence is Signature '
"On the other half of the card, squeezed in between the
neat rows of IBM punches, was this message: 'To the Stu
dent: Your parents are vitally interested in where you are
living and how you can be reached quickly. Please fill out
the right-hand side of this card, address it to your parents
on the other side of the card, and leave it at the checkout
table at registration. We will mail it for you.'
"Now, how's THAT for automation!
"(Don't get me wrong. We thought that hearing promptly
even if it was through dear old IBM was just fine. Just
so they don't take the next logical step further and make up
cards for writing home for money! ! ! "
A Fishy Predicament '
Here's another tale, this one from Hazel Davis, our cor
respondent in Happy Camp, Calif. She swears that it is a
true story.
"Fishing here is getting GOOD or else it is real BAD,
according to a story circulating around town. It seems this
lady fisherman hooked a pretty big steelhead, according to
the story, and amidst the excitement of playing the fish, the
snap on her jeans came loose.
"As the fish took his various runs up and down the river,
the zipper on the jeans started to un-zip. Well, right here the
decision had to be made as to which was the more important
the zipper or the fish. The fish won.
"By the time the fighting fish was landed, the woman
was in a near state of shock, standing with feet wide apart
to keep the jeans from descending to an embarrassing posi
tion. By the way, the fish weighed in about eight pounds,
an J in her book this was a real tough one to land."

Air Show Viewed by
Sams Valley Couple
SAMS VALLEY - Mr. and
Mrs. Bill Price were among
some 20,000 people who watched
a recent Air Force Show al Can
non Air Force Base, Clovis.
N. M., earlier this month, when
they visited their son. Airman
Second Class Gail Price. Mrs.

Bulle Falls School
Board Meets Nov. 6
BUTTE FALLS - Regular
meetings of the Board of Di
rectors of School District No.
91 are held the first Wednesday
of each month at 7:30 p.m. at
the high school. The next meet
ing is set for Nov. 6. Anyone
who is inferesled in the schools
of the district may attend these
meetings.
Topics that were discussed at
the last meeting included the
pink slips for the high school
students, the bus repair problem
and the grade school testing
program.
It isn't necessary to have a
problem to attend the meetings,
board members said. Citizens
are encouraged lo come lo lis
ten, ask questions or present

Siskiyou Adult Education Program Stalled
HAPPY CAMP During the
regular meeting of the 25th
District of Parents Teachers As
sociation here recently, College
of Siskiyous President Eddie
Roberts gave a brief explana
tion as to why evening adult edu
cation classes have not started
at high schools of the Siskiyou
Joint Union High School Dis
trict. Roberts said that the board
of trustees of the Siskiyou Joint
Union High benool District,
which is made up of six high
schools in the county including
Happy Camp, has stated that
the district is short of funds
that it can no longer let the
college use the facilities for the
same terms as in the past
years. A $2.50 registration fee in
the past has been turned over
by the college to pay for lights,
heat, etc.
The high school district, said
Roberts, now wants to rent the
district school facilities to the
college for (in round figures)
$2 per hour for classrooms; $4
per hour for metal shop; and $6
per hour for gymnasium.
Roberts said the college has
had many requests for a class
in welding, women's physical
education, as well as other aca
demic classes.
Other Possibilities
If negotiations with the high
school canot be made, it might
be possible to use facilities at
the elementary school and to use
a private machine shop for the
welding class, Roberts said.
Also speaking during the
meeting was Mrs. Blanche
Hyde, state publicity instruction
director whose home is in the
Bay Area, who spoke on many
ways in which to build up the
PTA units in respect and mem
bership. She said accomplish
ments of units should be made
known to the community so the
meetings would not be known as
"just another tea party." Mrs.
Hyde said tht publicity goes
hand in hand with public rela
tions. Presiding at the meeting held
at the Grange Hall was Mrs.
Lloyd Westby, president of the
District of Happy Camp, holding
the first meeting of the 25th
District ever to be held in Hap
py Camp. A luncheon was serv
ed by the Home Economics
group of Grange No. 395 be
tween the morning and after
noon sessions.
Other guests present in addi
tion to those already mentioned
were: Roger Ellis, dean, College
of Siskiyous Evening Division;
Al Swaim, Happy Camp, mem
ber Siskiyou Joint Union Board
of Trustees; Frank Oamek, high
school principal (Happy Camp);
John Sugden Jr., district super
intendent of Happy Camp Union
Elementary; and Phil Toleman
May Start in Spring
HAPPY CAMP - The Siski
you Joint Union High School
Board met here for their regular
meeting and during the meet
ing, discussed the situation con
cerning the Adult Evening Edu
cation Program which is spon
sored by the College of the Siski
yous at - attendance centers in
the county.
The Siskiyou Joint Union High
School District this year has
asked that the college pay more
for the use of the six high school
facilities under their direction,
which includes Happy Camp.
Until an agreement is reached
between the college and the
high school district there will
be no adult classes held in these
high school attendance centers.
Board members all agreed
that they want the classes to be
offered for the people but be
cuse of the very sad financial
situation of the district, board
members felt that they would at
least have to break even.
It was voted by the board to
invite the College of Siskiyous
Board of Trustees to the next
meeting to discuss the situation
and to arrive at an agreement
so classes may start with the
spring semester, since it is get
ting very late to start now.

Robberies Bring

left usually complacent Wonder

doors here are left unlocked
even wide open year in and
year out. Now everyone is try

most have vicious dogs. The
residents miss their free and
easy life, however, and hope
the thief is caught shortly.
