"OVER THE
TEE CUP"
By Jackie Labhart
My little old pot's perkin' once
more,
And my tee cup's full of golf
ing lore.
So please don your specs and
start to peruse
And I'll fill you in on the latest
link news.
Old Mr. Weather has certainly
been generous with his "son" for
our ladies' day competition. (He
must be a ladies man). It was
such a beeeautiful day Tuesdsay
and 24 women defied the flu bug
to play the required nine holes.
Speaking of the flu, I think one
"girl golfer" is quite delighted
with this venomous little virus,
for due to its influx in our small
town she was able to play with
us for the first time. (Beverly
Gundorson is her name. A high
school secretary Is her "game".
And the school has been closed
you know. So that's why she was
able to go.)
One of our grandmothers broke
into the winners circle this week
. . . Coramae Ferguson was "aw
arded a new golf ball for the low
score and we were all so proud of
her. (I think she was quite de
lighted herself). Dee Gribble re
ally had the lowest score, but as
I told you before she has played
longer and has declared herself
out of the running for the prize
until our handicaps are esablish
ed. We also had a prize for the
fewest number of putts on the
nine holes, but Bonnie Mattoon,
Dolores McDowell, Polly Dough
erty and this tee totaler tied, so
we will play it off next week.
I have never seen a ladies day
that had so many women search
ing for lost balls; in fact there
was even a "rescue chain" in op
eration. (You know, the kind they
use in life-saving work). Bonnie
Mattoon was chief retriever, as
she was the one doing all the
groping in the water. Holding on
to her was Dolores McDowell,
who was held by Ruth Van Wink
le; and their foothold on top of
the bank was in the personage

A new high for the year in calf total acreage of 3,920 acres. This
sales by producer sponsored sales
was reached at a feeder sale at
Baker Monday. Eighteen hundred
heifer and steer calves were sold
with a top of $28.25 for steers and
a top of $24.10 for heifers. Steers
averaged $25.19; heifers $23.54.
County livestock associations
sponsored feeder sales this fall
have reported an average of 2 or
more cent per pound above con
tract sales in the area.
Word recently received from
Oregon State college was to the
effect that Morrow county head
ed the list in total acreage of
Burt wheat for certification in
1957. Morrow county had 686 acres
of Burt passing certification this
year. Eight other varieties were
inspected in the state-wide certi
fication program for a combinod

of Polly Dougherty. But even after
all this effort the little white ball
remained quite evasive and re
tired for good in its watery do
main. Attention all you doltyourself-
ers (a new word) . . . Jack Loyd
made his own golf cart for a very,
very, nominal sum and it is a
beautiful piece of workmanship.
Our course seems to get prettier
every week, and thanks to Low
ell Gribble, Clint McQuarrie, Al
Fetsch and a power saw, we are
now minus a few hazardous trees
in our slough; which makes
shooting out and over this men
ace much easier.
An item of interest . . . Mrs.
Ken Peck's mother, Mrs. Clarence
Urey of Eugene, played the course
last week and shot the low, low
score of 49 for the first time on
our course. Lucille (Mrs. Peck)
who has just joined our country
club also shot a low score of 55
for her first time on our links.
Seems as though this family
knows quite a bit about golf,
I am very happy to report that
our green fee box, which was in
stalled for non-members who
wanted to play the course has
thus far netted us $20. I would
say this was a wonderful indica
tion that we have some very hon
est golfers wro do not belong to
the country club. While I am on
the subject of belonging, Jan Do
won reports we now have a mem
bership of 100 golfers (Pretty good
for such a small town don't you
think).
One more announcement before
I close . . . next ladies day we
will draw for "hidden partners"
after we have played the nine
holes and the two with the com
bined lowest scores will win.
(Sounds rather complicated I
know, but should prove inter
esting.) Well, my "perkin" pot" is down
to a simmer
And the thoughts In my head
seem to grow dimmer.
Thus I'll close, s i please drink
up
But join me again over the tee
cup.

ON BUYING, BUT NOT PAYING FOR,
A NEW HOPPED UP DETROIT SPECIAL
, n irrhiin (mm I.uisitania. The little cars
(The following timely editorial comment was
written by Fred Hans and appeared last week in
his North Bond (Ore. News. We think his thoughts
appropriate).
The new flock of cars are upon us, and they
all look pretty good to me. About the only prob
lem I have any more in picking out a new car
is determining how I can pay for it. Most all
of them have big motors, floating rides; air
streamed front ends and fins of one kind or the
other.
Somebody said the other day that Americans
are so busy making money and buying other
things that a car no longer has the social pres
tige it once had. I don't know which Americans
are making all the money, but indications are
some of them are.
This fellow said people need a boat or 2, an
outboard motor, a cabin in the mountains and
a trip to Europe and that this has a dampening
effect on the social standing of the automobile.
He even pointed out that lots of people are will
ing to settle for the little foreign cars because
about all they want from an automobile is trans
portation. The haven't heard about this fellow's views
in Detroit because the manufacturers continue to
put on more and more do-dads and gee-gaws,
without which you can't get along, but for which
you must pay the price.
Most all cars are more expensive this year
which should make the second hand models like
mine worth more money. Eut economics get lost in
this transaction and the only direction used cars
seem to go is down.
But even so, I would rather have an old big
car than a new small one. I wasn't built to
wrap around the steering post of a Wejsenhammer
. i. . i .v, liUo thpm. Ill
are an ngnt ior me peupic wnu - -
take mine straight and American, and there is
not any nationalistic pride at work here either.
The car people in Detroit have me figured out
just right, but I do wish they would concentrate
on how we are to pay for their latest creations.
Changing Times recently came up with some
startling facts, and when I got through reading
it I couldn't figure out how I could own a car
at all.
This magazine said that it costs about $775
a year to own a car if you drive it 5,000 miles
a year and about $952 if your car is driven 10,000
miles.
The only way a $5,000 a year family can keep
its auto expenses within 10 percent of income
is to drive it only 7,000 miles a year, and to
buy a used car about every 4 years.
With an average income of $5,000 a year, and
an average 10,000 miles of driving, the Ameri
can family may well be broke by its automobile.
That is why, then, the little woman Is always
commenting that we have no money in the ex
chequer. I don't expect anybody to pay any attention
to these figures, nor will I. Sometime again the
prospect of owning a gleaming grey monster with
a 450 horsepower engine and automatic steering
will overcame sanity and I shall be back in
the clutches of the bank, singing the 18 percent
blues, but happy all the same.
Detroit knows this, too, and like the cigaret
manufacturers they don't worry much about sta
tistics. If cigaret makers can continue to sell their
products with most all of us knowing death lurks
in every puff, I can safely predict a bright future
for the car people. -
