Hundreds of curious Americans have taken a long look at Britain's Queen Mother Elizabeth the past three days and walked away satisfied they know what kind of a person she really is. The crowds like her. as a Kood-will ambassador, the 84- year-old queen mother already has Droved she can win friends as easy as she can smile. And she smiles all the time. Since she Is here on an un official visit, she has time for some informal sightseeing and she's seen by crowds who would never net near a state function, Her day today is free for sight seeing. Tonight she attends a pri vate dinner party. The crowds see a. tiny woman with a plump figure, blue eyes and an enviable, pink-and-white complexion. She- wears little makeup, only pale pinK hpsuck and a dusting ol powaer. ner evebrows are unnlucked and her black hair, carefully set in son waves, shows no sign oi gray. The queen mother iooks oi- rectly at the endless strangers who crowd around her when she appears on the street and smiles. She never hurries to get away from . the friendly stares, even when the crowd threatens to mob her as it did outside the Empire State building Thursday afternoon. She calmly pauses, reises one Teachers Attend Fall Conference Attending the eighth annual fall conference of classroom teachers In Portland last Friday and Saturday, were five educa tors from Jackson county.

Bjorlle, delegate from Ashland Teachers' association and teacher at George Briscoe school; Mrs. Nadlne Shaller, vlce-prestaeni of Eagle Point Classroom Teach ers' association: Mrs. Viola Pom- eroy, regional director of Class room Teachers and teacher at Eagle Point grade" school and Lawrence F, Rehfeld, president of the Eagle Point association and teacher at Eagle Point high school.

You'll loverhis pure grape wine PETRI WINE CO., Friday, October 28, 1984 hand in a royal half-wave to the people far away and smiles at everybody. Even aloof male ob servers in hemburgs have been spotted smiling back sheepishly. Cloihts Get Attention Her clothes get special atten tion from the women. The queen mother never has been regarded as any style setter, yet American women who have seen her find her more fashionably dressed than they expected. Her daytime dresses and hats have a matronly air but the .gay est debutante could admlie her youthful shoes. She wears frivo lous pumps with spike heels that would hobble a less sturdy woman during auong day of of ficial functions. So far the queen mother has appeared in some shade of gray each day. She prefers V-neck-lines, side-draped skirts and three-quarter sleeves. She usual ly wears a three-strand matched pearl necklace and a diamond pin on her shoulder. Like her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, the queen mother prefers nats that match the shade of her dress, usually trimmed with a pastel color.

In and Around Table Rock Officers elect ed at the last meeting of Table Rock Ladles' club were Anita Wheeler, president and Ruth Brown, secretary. Dr. Dlerdorff and family of Medford were' Sunday visitors at the Robert Sage home. Nice apples to appreciative housewives at live and let live prices has- recently been the good fortune of neighbors . of Larry Hull, local farmer and orchardist. Speaking of the farm situa tion Larry says their pear bus iness this year is going to pay off Quite well and that the frost of last spring may have been a blessing In disguise as they saved their crop by heavy smuding while the overall yield was cut to such an extent' that prices were stabilized. , Bobby Bray, young son of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bray has again entered school after a year's absence with a siege of rheumatic fever. Joe Stallings, -local boy, re ports some bad luck during the last few weeks. His pet dog was run over and killed by a car and his saddle horse Prince was found dead recently in the pasture, the cause of death- un known. We don't know how much earlier they appear but at S a!m. we notice lights shining in the barn windows of local farmers in the dairy business. It seems that some one is always after the poor old dairyman, not only with kicks and gripes about the price of his product but with efforts to legislate him out of business. Yet we know of no oilier profession that requires more hard work and longer hours for those in it, and at the same time we know of no oth er product that sells for less quart for quart or pound for pound, that contains so much nutrition for the human body. The communication in last Sunday's M.T. relative to far mers and hunters by H.D. of Medford caused some resent ment here among farmers. One farmer was heard to remark that he also had to take his nocket book" along when he went for supplies in Medford or even to park his Jalopy. How ever, he said what he paid out did not give him a permit to raid anyone's premises. He also stated that recently while buy ing parts for equipment he got a ticket for overtime park ing which caused him to have to take time out time to visit the police department and use his "pocket book" again.

Mrs. Walter Timm, airplane observer at TouVelle park, re ports that a new one party line has been completed and is now in use connecting the local sta tion directly with the Filter cen ter at Eugene and avoiding in terference with other lines. Mrs. Timm wishes through this col umn to thank patrons of line No. 82 for their, promptness in relinquishing the line ' for air flashes and for their patience during the several months the station has been in operation. Ralph James of Sams Valley, Democratic candidate for coun ty commissioner, was a brief caller here Tuesday. Speaking of his campaign he says he would rather be defeated than engage in "mud slinging" or underhand ed methods. He thinks the north half of the county should have a commissioner which he says they haven't had for some 20 years and that the 1300 Demo crats in the county are entitled to be represented on the board.

A business and study meeting was held. IT'S IN THE BOOK! I RUN FOROFFICE - .' '. , .'- - by ' ( ;' . Richard L, reuberger (with a few comments by a kibitzing reader) Harper's Magazine, February,. 1947 " . . . When I cautiously straddled an old-age pension proposition on the Oregon ballot, I found that I pick ed up votes from both sides. Before even so sophisti cated an organization as the League of Women Voters, outright endorsement of a new school tax did not return the same political dividends as ap proving the measure "in principle, with certain reser vations." This was a way of riding two chariots and also of convincing the disillusioned candidate that Barnum was right." "The fact is, I doubt If millions of Americans are , very interested in the race for any political office , except that of President of the United States. Their Ignorance of other contests Is often amazing." How S. P. trains learned to In the old days, communications at Sdbth . era Pacific were handled by telegraph, tele phone, and the wonderful old wicker loop that handed instructions to engineers as the train rushed by. Now, many of S.P.'s communications have gone electronic in a big way. On some trains, the engineer in his mod ern Diesel cab merely picks up bis radio telephone when he wants to talk to his own caboose. Train crews are now able to report immediately to the dispatcher, through wayside stations, unusual incidents or con ditions affecting the prompt or safe move-. - fif'jf San Francisco with Mrs. Kathleen Alllngham, president, to charge.
