Richard son on a recent sightseeing tour with Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Leavitt to the eastern Oregon county met Margaret Reed at Burns, a former resident of this com munity. . . . Mrs. Reed was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs: B. R. Porter who came here with their family in the early 90's and bought a half section of land which now com prises, the Table Rock orchard and the several home tracts on the Bigham lane. The Porter family bought the property to make a stock ranch out of it and brought with them a num ber of horses and 'a band of cattle. From what we hear, tax state ments arriving here from the sheriff's office were a shocking suprise to recipients here as the levy of 70.6 mills is by far the highest ever known in the dis trict. An Increase was shown in the " Rural Fire District levy, but the largest increase was in the school levy already the major part of the-levy is now 60 mills. The school levy in this district, previously known as District 44, was 42.2 mills for 1949, the year the district was consolidated with Central Point and the argu ment by "many that consolidat ion would mean lower taxes was a major cause of the affirma tive vote. Many not previously interested in school affairs came out to vote for what they were told would lower taxes. For the. above figures we are m v. a n Special INCH 10-20 yard remnants washfast prints.

Three men, claiming to be dis abled veterans, two on foot, ring ing door bells, one with a car which they all. used at intervals, were selling magazine subscrip tions through this section last Monday. The one we met seem ed to resent being questioned about his needs, government con nections and what he intended to do with the money he col lected. , According to him, he and his two companions are going to start three service stations in this .vicinity. A few years ago the same deal was carried on through here, except that the three at that time were going to start a store in Central Point, which they never did.

Last Friday my better half and I boarded a Greyhound bus and started a week end vacation to California. Among the passen gers on the well filled bus were people from, many sections of Oregon. Many were elderly peo ple going back to visit relatives and friends in the old home town. There was lots of time to con- Verse as the scenery south of Tule lake on the road to Reno is nothing to look at being most ly sagebrush, rocks and juniper trees. . We found that all the old folks were receiving Social Se curity payments, one man wijh a ticke to Roanoake, Va., exhibit ing two' checks that he -hadn't cashed, and all seemed to be happy for having earned during their years of toil a competency for later life. We were surprised at ' the amount of interest we found in the recent senatorial election in Oregon, many, expressing themselves as highly pleased with what they termed stopping the McKay raiders from giving away the country's resources.

Perhaps more of Neuberger's followers ride in busses than do Senator Cordon's. ' - In . California when people learned we were from Oregon we were greeted with such re marks as, "You are the guys that turned back the grab bag Mc Kay's." So we wondered why California went Republican, but reading one of their local papers we noticed that the county we were in had gone Democratic We found much praise among the people we met for Senator Morse, some calling him the out standing, senator of the nation. We didn't tell them but we thought of the verse, Matt. 13 57, a prophet is not 'without honour, save in his own country. mm BEWARE OF IMITATIOHS LOOK FOR THE HAPPY tlTTlf OOO TOPS IN QUALITY! iowiri price 1 1 1 ijmL Around Hollywood Hollywoo d U.R) John Wayne, the one-time roaring headine maker, served notice to- day nes re- turned with his new bride to seek a quiet er life. The top box office king re cently came back from a movie location in the Hawai ian Islands where he also . Aline Mosby wed Peruvian beauty Pifar Pal lette. This marriage, he indi cated, will be a happy one; un like his drink-throwing union with Chata Wayne that wound up in the decade's most sizzling divorce case. "I've been trying to settle down for the last couple of years," he grinned. "Troubles? I've had enough of those." Reports filtered back from the location of "The Sea Chase" that parties were gay and Wayne and co-star Lana Turner were feuding. But the lanky actor drawled that the location was one of the calmest he's been on. Lana Left Before Wedding "It was said I didn't ask Lana to my wedding," he added. "But I did. She had to leave before the ceremony to return to Hono lulu. "We never' had any trouble," he said as he proudly passed around photographs taken at the wedding party. One true trouble, however, was an ear infection that gave Wayne a constant earache. The ailment is subsiding, but he still can't chew or hear well. Pilar is Wayne's, third Latin wife. But he insisted his habit of marrying south-of-the-border sirens is just a coincidence, "be: 117. S.

"Pilar has a wonderful sense of humor and pride, ' a lot of pride," Wayne said. "She's good to me and I'm going to be good to her. She's had to meet a lot of people and she always carries herself well." The newlyweds have moved into Wayne's old San Fernando Valley home, but "We've had it completely redecorated." Other Blessings Wayne has other blessings to count besides a happy marriage. His own producing company (Batjac) is rolling in success and Wayne is celebrating his 25th anniversary as a star. What's kept him on top? "I think it's because I play character roles, instead of rely ing on looks," he decided. "The characters I've played had a way of life. They weren't wishy washy. ' "I know my limitations. I've never cried for more money or fancy dressing rooms. I know I want strong lines. A weak story and weak part you try to build up until you're forcing yourself. "You have to have good direc tors, too. John Ford and some others are responsible for my being here. Ford helped me grow out of that toe-pushing-in- the-dirt school." .
