Second Class Postage Paid At Mjdt'ord, Oregon VOLUME I, NUMBER 33 R p y te iik QjOttl/ktWpA by N o rm ajean Quite a few tear» were shed In this city last Thursday when residents of this com munity heard of the death of our beloved friend and poet. Jack Finel. Even though fie was an elderly gentleman age- wise, Jack always had a cheerful air about him and could cruck a joke along witli I tie best of us. We believe the day will come when his writings will be recognized world-wide. It is a shame lie didn’t receive more recognition before his death, hut isn't that the way it always is with those of the arts? Jack’s Place will continue as usual in tire pages of the Tim es. That is the way Jack would have wanted it. We Itad a bonanza this week. August Piclaet, local nursery man again grated the office of the Times with flowers. This time it's double petunies and they are beautiful! Thanks August, Another gentleman who drops hy once a week or so with a bouquet for us is I). F. Perkins wliom we hear lias one of the nicest flower beds in Central Point. We appreciate the thought fulness of these gentlemen! The Lib rary is also enjoying a lovely display of dahlias donated by Mr. an«l Mrs. Mere G leason... some of the largest dahlias I have ever seen. We hear more tales told on firemen anil policemen of other Oregon towns but hardly ever on our local Central Po int m e n ... guess they know I kjw to keep their nose clean! Anyway,. . . last week Hubbard fireman Bob Stauffer couldn't resist trying out the motorcycle of one of his friends. He was shown how to start it, but before he could be told how to stop the mechanical critter, Stauffer was off and gone. Everything went tine until he came to the first of the stop signs and Stauffer Ineez *d thr ough two of them trying one knob after another before he found the right combination to halt the machine. There was nothing in Ids way only one car behind but it so happened that car was a |>o- lice car! This week the ven turesome fireman is keeping a date with Judge Brown! A nd.. . . in Woodburn, the public was wondering wiry police patrolmen Richard Knight anil Larry Landis were keeping so mum. The sil ence dated back only to Mon day morning. Landis got a hurry' up call to assist Knight in the eastern part of the city. When they got back, neither man had much to say. For the curious folk, it seems Knight got himself locked in a pair of handcuffs so securely that it took another officer to get him free.. . .
