CENTRAL POINT AMERICAN Heart« of Jackton Won (Continued from pare 1) era who have no chance fo r educa tion except a few weeks at a time salvage fo r American citizenship where their parents stop fo r work in the fru it or timber or on highway or irrigatio nprojects or in mills. The Parent-Teacher association of her county are co-operating in this e ffo r t by reporting to the school authorities any children o f either transient or resident families whom they know to be out o f school. “ We find most o f theje migratory children three to fiv e years behind the resident children o f their age,” says Mrs. Cartr. “ One little lad sighed as he said, "M a ’d like to set tle, but dad wants to wander.’ He was one o f the thousands who spend the summer and fall in Oregon, Washington or British Columiba, and the winter in California, following the fruit all through the year.” Jackson county is expected to vote at the next election on the adoption o f the county unit plan, which would place the schools in the hands o f a county board o f education, equalize the distribution o f school funds re gardless o f the districts’ assessed property valuation, and arrange fo r appointment o f the superintendent rather than her election. Mrs. Carter is most heartily in favor o f this plan. This county is still in the throes o f the struggle which has resulted in the vote to move the county seat from historic Jacksonville to the newer inetropolitan center o f the valley, Medford, On this subject Mrs. Car ter maintains a neutral attitude. Long Tramps Taken in Wind. Within the past year there have been emergency calls fo r visits to schools far removed from the high ways o f the Rogue river valley. Mrs. Carter hiked 11 miles in mud too deep fo r a car, to reach one remote school, and on another day took a 16-mile trip on horseback. For a recent visit she started wit ha horse tied behind her automobile |which she drove at a speed suited to the horses's gait. Upon reaching the end o f the hard-surfaced road, she donned her brother’s chaps and put on all the wraps she could fasten, to endure the cold mountain wind. And so she rode ten miles farther on to the teacher who had sent her the SOS. "W ould I like an easier job ?” Mrs. Carter laughed her reply. “ Is this job a hard one? It keeps me out-of-doors in this country which I love best, with the wide valley and the mountains dotted with homes o f my friends. Here I see the masses o f pear blossoms in the spring and in hale their delicious fragrance. I have the wild flowers in the canyons, the stately evergreens on the hills, and the everchanging coloring on Mount McLoughlin and other peaks. There is far more jo y than g rief in this job “ I came here from a childhood spent in Illinois. I have studied in the University o f California and know the great cities o f the Pacific coast as well as those o f the Atlantic sea board. I taught in Alaska fo r several years and met a cosmopolitan group there. But fo r place and people in all my acquaintance, give me Jackson county! Mountain Heights Conquered. “ I have enjoyed tennis, swimming, and bowling, the last particularly in Alaska. But my greatest delight is to have my own two feet upon the trail. There is no butte or blu ff with in a long radius o f the ranch where I spent my girlhood which I have not topped. I have climbed many other mountains both in the state and in Alaska. “ For years I carried my flower press at my saddle bow on my black Morgan, who seemed to find as much xest as I found in an early morning canter in the valley, or a climb on mountain trails. “ My husband, who is a busy build ing contractor, often humors my longing for a night in the open, and we slip o f f fo r a camp supper in the forest or beside a stream, and we sleep with no roof lower than the stars. It is the gypsying that I love. Even now as I talk with you I ran smell the sweet dampness o f the woods in the rain and I want to be there. “ Does not man's love fo r the shy, evasive beauties o f the wild places betoken his inalienable desire for the hidden things o f the spirit?*” — Oregonian. -------- Union Church — — * Sunday sc h ool lesson: “ The Standard o f Christian L ivin g.” In the morning ser vice the pastor w ill preach on the subject “ The Beauty and Pow er o f H oly L ivin g .” The evening service w ill be evangelistic, and Rev.

The bridge engineer ar.d his staff were orderd in haste to the place. Two days later came the superintendent o f the di vision. Alighting from his private car, he encountered the old master bridge-builder. “ Bill,” said the superintendent, his words quivering with energy, “ I want this job rushed. Every hours delay costs the company money. Have you got the engineer’s plans fo r the new bridge?” “ I don’t know,” said the bridge- builder, “ whether the engineer has the picture drawed yet or not, but the bridge is up and the trains is passin’ over it.” --------* -------- NOTICE TO CREDITORS N O TIC E IS H EREBY G IV EN , that the undersigned has, by order of the county court o f Jackson county, Oregon, been appointed as adminis- tratix o f the Estate o f Isabell J.
