.A Table Rock laDie Kock G. B. Bowman of Medford, lessee of the Tou- veue ranch will use the farm to grow hay and pasture for his beef and stock cattle, so there will be no more pasture to rent to other stockmen. The field on the south side of the river near the military bridge that has been idle since it was taken over by thj army is now being plowed up for seeding of crops. A letter from County Judge Rodney Keating to Ralph James, master of the Sams Valley Grange, in reply to a resolution recently sent to the county court pertaining to the surfacing of the road known as the Tresham lane, was read at last Tuesday's Grange meeting. The letter stat ed that this work has been ap proved and put on the agenda. Pheasants, which it is claimed were turned loose last fall in the Camp White and Agate dis tricts by the game commission. I are pulling up quantities of new ly sprouted grain in tjs section and causing many complaints from farmers, who in some cases threaten to put' salt on the of fenders tails delivered from the muzzle of a shotgun. The Sunday school conference held at Table Rock schoolhouse Saturday, March 19, was attend ed by members of some half dozen valley union Sunday schools, with about seventy peo ple in attendance, including four ministers, Arthur Kelstrup of Koseburg. Sunday school mis sionary, for this district; D. D Randall retired missionary of Medford; John Stille of Shady Cove, and E. J. Clark retired Presbyterian minister now su perintendent of Shady Cove Sun day school. Time allotments of fifteen . to twenty minutes was given to the different schools for their part in the program Talks on the different versions of the Bible were given by Les ter Wilcox and D. D. Randall of Medford, and E. J. Clark of Shady Cove described in detail the structure and purpose of the Tabernacle of Bible times. John Stille talked on the evolution, races and cults, and the impor tance of getting the children to go to Sunday school. There were songs, readings and exercises by members of different Sunday schools, and a recital by memory of the 103rd Psalm by Mrs. Mil ford Vanderpool of the local S.S. Potluck dinner was served dur ing the noon hour. Someone, sometime, said: "My kingdom for a horse," but it seems that at the present time young folks around here who have riding horses would just about give their kingdom for some place to pasture their steeds. Those who have pastures also have cattle or other stock, so no room for horses. One young lady, after trying for weeks to find a place to keep her horse, located a pasture in the Sams Valley district some six miles distant. Old pinky, our roaming torn cat is still able to handle the biggest gophers, despite the fact that he lost part of a hind foot in an encounter with a mower sickle last summer and his right eye during the pheasant season The other morning he brought in a grandaddy gopher that measured twelve, inches from tip to tip, the way Kerby Tant meas ures a cougar. Alex Hamilton of Medford was here Wednesday bidding relatives good-bye before his de parture Thursday for. Washing ton, D. C, where he will operate elevators in the Senate building thirty hours a week and attend the George Washington Univer sity. Alex has the advantage of being personally acquainted with several people living in the cap ital who formerly resided here, and also Oregon's two Senators Morse and Neuberger and Con gresswoman Edith Green. When asked if his job would come under the '"Hatch act," he re plied that he didn't know but thought it might be wise to keep his eyes open, and his mouth shut. The busy Darlings. John and Mary, operators of the Darling diversified farm near Bybee bridge, have arranged their fur niture so they can watch tele vision from their beds, so now when a long commercial comes on they can take a nap 'til the picture returns and then resume watching, providing they do not oversleep. The rains of the last lew days have completely changed the complexion of the earth's sur face in these parts. Grass is showing a brighter green color, crops are springing up, and the long overdue moisture is proving highly beneficial to lawns, gar dens, and all vegetation. Irriga tion reservoirs in the Sams Val ley district are getting some run off, but much of the precipita tion is being soaked up by the dry soil. Recent visitors here were the Doug Robinson familyx of Fair field, Calif., and Mr. and Mrs. Claude Ray of Medford, who visited relatives at the Ed Rob inson home. O. T. Wilson of Central Point stopped in the other morning to tell us of his recently becom ing a great-grandfather, a baby girl being born March 27, to Mr. and Mrs. Larry Wilson, Trail, Oregon. - Ernest Smith visited home folks and valley friends while enjoying a few days vacation i p Tuesday, April 5, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREB POST WINTER SCENE If you were out last night during the post-winter snow-storm at RockviUe, Conn., this is what you would have seen. Falling wet snow blanketed Elizabeth-st in Rockville as it did in most of Connecticut. Pickin' Pears News and Notes From Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH If art can be called the me dium for the graphic expression of the individual viewpoint, the work of the six Camp White artists now on display at the Art Center in Medford can be considered fully representative. Each of the 16 paintings can be identified as the work of the artist himself. Winfred Welch, now a member of the SOSA, has achieved a distinctive atmos phere in his desert scenes, and George Jennings, with a study of an Oregon landscape aone in class, has caught the feeling of the woods and streams with his bold and rugged brush strokes. Augustine Arnold has yet an other treatment to offer in his from his school duties at Klam ath Falls. Bob Sage, after making a min ute inspection of his garden re ports that some of the vegetables he planted are now up, as also are tne weeds mat ne mam plant. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Mack, teachers in Sams Valley school were brief visitors here Sunday. Mrs. J. S. Richardson arrived by plane from Portland Sunday accomptnied by her granddaugh ter Debra Mae, youngest of the Donald Richardson flock, who will spend a few weeks here with her grandparents. In a litie cabin in the west end of the community. Dr. Lem ley of Medford, delivered on March 12, Gary Charles Robin son, an eight lb., 4 ounce boy, to Mr. and Mrs. V. C. Robinson. The home birth, while in accord with Dr. Brady's ideas was prob ably not brought about for that reason, but rather by necessity as the couple has two other small children and the father has had only a few days work since dis charged by the doctor on Jan.' 1 as a disability case. Table . Rock Community club met March 25 with a fair rep resentation .of the community present. After a short business meeting the following program was given: Trumpet solo, Joe Stallings; piano solo, Mrs. Elmo Stallings: educational pictures showing American transporta tion from horseback to jet plane, shown by Ray Bosworth, follow ed up with dates, historical de scriptions, and settings by Mrs. Bosworth. E. C. Hamilton, who has been measuring out the precious drops of Rogue River irrigatic i water to the patrons of the Table Rock Improvement company, (ditch company) since the year of 1922 has announced his retirement as of April 1. Mr. Hamilton took over this work while living in the Agate district and at that time work of the ditch manager had not been too harmonious, in some cases the man in person being ordered off the premises of some of the users who resent ed the adjustments and allot ments of water. E. C, after tak ing charge soon soothed the tempers and kept them on an even keel during his long tenure of service, which he performed sometimes on foot other times on horseback but mostly with a car, keeping water on tap for the thirsty crops and winning the confidence and respect of his neighbors. We feel sure we are joined by all others .who have been interested in local ir rigation affairs that the manner in which this rather tedious work has been carried on over the long stretch is commend able. Everett L. Brown, local dairyman and bus driver took over the ditch job April 1. burner and Ives rural scene, and others in which he uses vivid colors and sharp lines H. L. Williams, Eugene Roeder and Dan Dyer offer examples in specialization. Both Roeder and Dyer are au thorities on ships, the former having sailed before the mast since the tender age of 15, the latter being an expert with models of 17th century sailing vessels, with their distinctive lines, masts and sails. His paint ing is a large canvas showing Eeachy Head of the Seven Sis ters off the coast of Sussex in England. Roeder has done one of an American clipper ship as his initial offering. Williams submitted his im pression of the Oregon coast as his original contribution. Mrs. J. Love, Mrs. M. Scho enberg, and Mrs. Effie White also submitted examples of their work. The Nursing Service has been assigned the quarters imme diately above the infirmary, where the office of Miss Grace Sluhr, chief nurse, is now lo cated. A classroom for instruc tion and a library complete the suite. In addition to the regular monthly, meeting of the nurses and aides, classes for memoer at tendants are held. The first course of the current "term" has just started with 14 attend ants enrolled. The event of the year for the nurses was the announcement of the arrival of a 7-pound boy in the household of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Day. March 22 is the day and Sacred Heart hospital the place. Jeffry Armstrong is the name. Mrs. Day is one of the Infirmary nurses here. Tommy Thompson was some what low in spirits last week until he noted the tribute paid him by the Oregonian editor in publishing his poem about the Young Oregonians, who appear ed at Camp White. Whether it is used or not, Tommy always writes a poem about any vis itors who entertain at the sta tion. In this instance, he did not expect it to be published at all. Virgil Baker, who has knock ed around tne XMortnwest for a a considerable time, has gone back home to Minneapolis, where he will . live with .' his daughter, and put in his time puttering around. Virgil is some thing of a jack of all trades, and a master of most of them. He was one of the charter members of the Camp White Rock club. Bud Ash, of Special Services, who has started things hum ming in the arts and crafts work shop, is taking a well earned va cation from his labors. He will be back in time to handle ar rangements for the Hobby Fair to be held Sunday April 17. " The Fishing club, at their last meeting, went into a huddle over the question of how to spend about $50 on new equip ment. The Camp White anglers made a thorough review of the merits of flies, lines, reels and poles before deciding to put their money on reels and lines. There are some expert fisher men m tne group, and their I ideas on what to use in catching fish in Southern Oregon waters, were educational as well as en lightening. Company 1 will have a model barracks", adjoining the cap tain's office. It is to be occupied by the firing squad, and willi have special "interior" treat ment before it is turned over to them. Frank Walsh, construction supervisor from Central office, Washington, D.C., accompanied! by his wife and children, was here for two days, making a ; routine survey of engineering ; progress.
