This is the first time a wheel unit has been asked to perform in the limited space of the audi torium floor, attesting to the precision and control of this nroup. Regional Roundup by Cleve Twitchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor We performed our civic duty the other night. We re portcd a traffic accident to the proper authorities. We were sitting in the living room of our home at the corner of two roads in the Central Point rural area when we heard a screech followed by a wham and a couple of thuds. Then as we were getting up to go out and investigate, a pair of headlights flashed by and a car zoomed off. When we got outside with a flashlight we found no sign of any other car, but a number of mail boxes and a couple of fence posts at the corner had been knocked over. (A stack of Mail Tribune tubes came through unscathed.) Speeding to the telephone, we notified the Jackson Coun ty Sheriff's Department of what had transpired, describ ing it as a hit-run with a fixed object. At least we thought that was the proper police terminology for the thing. The deputy who later came out to the scene was sharp. We couldn't help him much. He wanted to know if we could identify the make of the car from the brief glimpse we'd gotten of its headlights. We couldn't. Then he spotted some red paint on the fence and mail box posts. Next he noticed that the paint was. quite near the ground but not higher up on the post. So he surmised that a small car was involved. He strengthened this assumption by checking the skid-marks . on the pavement. They indicated that the car had a small wheclbase. The driver had come down one road, attempted a left turn at high speed and missed. It appeared that the fellow had taken off in the direc tion of Central Point, so the deputy went that way too, look ing for a small red car with damage to its right side. At last report, no small red car with a bashed in side has been found. Meanwhile, a group of residents yesterday moved the mail boxes and newspaper tubes to a different part of the intersection. Sportsw ritcr for a Day Priscilla Averill, our Grants Pass correspondent, recent ly launched and then retired from a career as a sports writer. Her career lasted one day. Sports Editor Dick Jewett was eager to have someone cover the Medford Grants Pass Paunch Bowl game over there on Dec. 8. Mrs. Averill was glad to oblige. We left a telephone message for her the day before the game, and when she returned from an errand she found a note which had been painstakingly copied down by her 9-year-old son John. The note advised her to call the "spots ededer" or "Dave Twichle" Monday morning with the story on the game. "Now I am the sort of person," Mrs. Averill wrote later on, "who can sit right on the 50-yard line watching everything and STILL not know who is doing what with the ball, so this did seem to pose a problem but not for long. I finally figured that if I stayed home and listened to the game on the radio, that would TELL me what was go ing on, and I could cull it from there. "Good thinking, huh? Well, came kick-off time and I got out my pad and pencil, turned on the radio and got a play by play description of activities in a Baptist church in Chicago. Since Grants Pass is a particularly sports-happy town, it hadn't dawned on me that for any reason the game might NOT be broadcast! "By then the rain was pouring down, and I had no way of getting to the football field, the rest of my family having long since left for the game with the car. "If worse came to worse, I knew 1 could always get the story from my husband, who was one of the officials, but I also knew he much prefers not to mix into things that are my business. Just by dumb luck 1 finally stumbled onto the perfect solution. After the game had ended, I cornered a bunch of the key players from both sides in a local restau rant where they had gathered to rehash the game. This is why, when I put in my call to the 'spots ededer' the follow ing 8 a.m., I was able to make like a Monday morning quar terback. But I'm afraid my career as a 'spotswriter' was destined to end on the day it began." New Fire Station Being Constructed By Hornbrook Men HORNBROOK Members of the Hornbrook Volunteer Fire Department last week began construction of a new fire sta tion for this community. The beginning of the work marks the culmination of sev eral years' efforts on the part I of many local citizens. Since the labor is being do-' nated on a volunteer basis, no definite completion date has been set, but the men are striv ing hard to finish the building as soon as possible. The work is being supervised by Carl Cum-i mins. ! Of wood structure with alumi-; num siding and galvanized roof ing, the building's dimensions are 40 by 34 feet. It is located on land owned by the Southern Pa cific railroad, and leased from them for the sum of $30 annual ly. The railroad recently cleared the land of all their buildings. When completed, the building will house the two fire trucks and the tanker owned by the community. The tongue of the gecko liz ard is so long that the reptile can use it to wash its eyes.
