Mrs. Duggan was well known here having been a resi dent of our near-by community for many years, where she took part in many -social ; activities, including youth and Grange work. She will be greatly "mis sed by a host of friends in -this and the . Sams Valley commu nity. '" Mrs. L. A. Brennesholtz proved to be a most gracious hostess to the score or more members of Table Rock ladies' Club who held their January meeting last .Wednesday at her home on Arnold . lane. During the business session a $10 dona tion was made to the March of Dimes fund. . . The first Telephone bill from the ; Columbia Utilities - has ar rived and shows , the monthly service' charge on a ten party line will be $3.55 plus a 36 cent tax, making the total $3.91. ti Mrs. John Dickey, teacher of the Bible class in the local Sun day school, has been absent the past two Sundays, owing to her attending services in her home church in Medford. ' Many local farmers attended the annual John Deere show held recently at the Hubbard Wray implement store in Med ford, and enjoyed seeing the new farm equipments and ' es pecially the delicious ham sand wiches, doughnuts and coffee. , There is quite a little excite ment in the Sams Valley district at the present time over the pos sibility of having oil wells drill ed there in the near future. Ac cording to John Vara, parties are trying to get farmers to sign leaser thaf when completed would start the ball rolling. Mr, Vara claims that the ; signing would ' not inconvenience the land owners if drilling was start ed, or otherwise, but so far he has not been able to convince his neighbors, as no v one seems to want to " be first , in putting his name on the dotted line. Byron Coulter, a logger of the Meadows district, was a business caller here " Monday. He says things, have been pretty rough in his line but are now improv ing. v subordinate Grange the masters' team losing in the contest will serve the overseer's team. Sams Valley Grange' Sams Valley Grange ; will meet the evening of Tuesday, Jan. 24. Among items to be dis cussed will be the necessity of taking action on oil leases. An ; inter-squad - basketball game will provide the program at 8 p.m. . v . Folks are beginning to get the hang of the dial; system and with a little more, practice : the lines will be plenty busy, espe cially since calls to Medford, White City, Shady Cove, : and Eagle Point are free. To work the new gadget, you stick your finger in a little hole, with win ning numbers at the 'side like a slot machine, spin the dingus around, take your finger out and it will go back where it started from, try another; hole and 'do this six times, seven il you; are calling yourself or some one on your own party line, then listen and if you hear a. buzz,- buzz; you will know the line, is .busy, and there is nothing you an do but wait awhile and do some more spinning.; The. old ;way, after one turn of the crank, you held the receiver to your, ear to 'hear, a gentle, interested fem inine voice tell you she was the. operator, and if no answer after several.; rings . in trying to get your party, - she might tell you the party you wanted had gone to the neighbors to help pick turkeys or something. All quite simple and with a humane touch, something- we are going to miss after using the crank turning system for some 45 years. Starting the New Year right by cleaning up and disposing of things that have out-lived, their usefulness, we destroyed . some Cordon pamphlets left over af ter the little woman had ' dis tributed to voters, last fall, and took down Dick Neubergers . pic ture from our big pine tree. He was r gaining when we tacked him up, and was still ' gaining when we took him down. Sure has a sense of humor. Two, lines of thought and action are made possible in" a democracy where one can worship God and vote according to the dictates of his own conscience. We would ask some who seem to be a little cool toward those who do not. vote as they do, if they would rather live in a country where one is given a ballot already, marked. This reminds - us of a recent editorial by Bob Ruhl referring to' a correspondent of the ' Ore gonian who had stated that the most; asinine statement of ' the year was made by Sen. ', Neu berger , when ' he said he found more people in the day coaches that voted for him than in the Pullman cars. We ' avrote of a similar incident after making a trip in a Greyhound bus : just after the November election, when we were surprised to find so many Neuberger supporters on the bus, and knowing how close the vote was naturally supposed that more of his votes came from bus riders than from the other modes of transportation. . To be honest , about it we wouldn't have been surprised at finding some of the passengers were leaving the state because of his election. We looked up the word asinine and according to Webster it means pertaining to, or like an ass. We may have something in common with an ass, we used to drive mules, but we still claim, that that ' had nothing to do with what we wrote; it was news to us, so we thought it might be to others.
