Farewell Party Given
For George Family
Last Sunday evening friends and
neighbors gathered at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Loren George and}
spent a delightful social evening
followed by a delicious luncheon
served at midnight. They were
presented with matching pictures
as a departing gift from those pres­
ent. The family is leaving next
week for Malin, Ore., where they j
will reside permanently and will
be greatly missed in the valley
where they have made their home '
for many years. The Georges re- j
cently sold their ranch to Dr. C.
J. Moser of Grants Pass.
Ben George and family will move
to the George W. Thrasher ranch
near Grants Pass very shortly.
