Medford, Oregon Table Rock ' The Laverne Robinson family, residents for the past several months of the Table Rock district, moved last Monday to the Central Point dis trict where Mr. Robinson is em ployed at the Fieldenheimer or chards. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Richardson returned Tuesday from 'a several days visit at the Donald Rich ardsons' in Portland where they returned granddaughter Debra Mae who had spent several weeks here at the Richardson home The passing of Mrs. Myra Big ham at Eagle Point Tuesday "was a shock to the many friends here of the Bigham family. Mrs. Big ham and her husband were well known here, being members of the Bigham clan and frequent visitors with local relatives. We join others in extending sincere sympathy. D. D. Randall and Lester Wil cox of Medford were recent vis itors at the regular weekly Bible study here. A plant setting machine is being used to set out small apple trees in the Orville Hamilton farm to be crafted later into dwarf varieties, according to Gordon Kershaw, lessee of the land. A reoresentative of the Natn. ral Resources Association of San Jose, Calif., will meet Mondav night, May 2, with the "Sams Val ley committee on oil leases to discuss types of leases to be drawn up and submitted to land owners for signing, according to Grange Master Ralph James, a member of the committee. Dairy operators, according to reports, are having a rough time witn lots -ot surplus milk, the price of which is scaled down to such a low figure, that it Drings their average to a point where it is impossible to get much more than feed costs at normal rates. At the present time, they are paying $40 and up for hay with grain prices in oroDortion. A dairv man wast tell ing us that the experts keep tell ing them to increase production which will in turn thev claim. increase income. He thinks they have it in reverse as more pro duction means more surplus, and more surplus means lower prices. Which reminds us of farming conditions here when we were a barefoot boy. Nearly all the farmers had mortgages on their farms, and it took just so many bushels of wheat to Dav the in terest, which was 10 and paid once a year. At that time wheat was the main cash crop, there were no alfalfa fields, orchards, or truck crops. The crice of wheat was around 40 to 50 cents a bushel, when it went down. farmers worked longer hours, put in more wheat so as to have the required amount of interest money. Most of them finally sold or lost their farms. ' Mrs J. S. Richardson is substi tuting in the Central Point schools this week. f : A few persons who travel the stretch of highway between the Leverette cdrner and the Table Rock store are indulging in some fast driving which, could easily lead to a serious accident as this stretch of road has many homes bordering it with many farmers having land on both sides which causes them to cross frequently with equipment, stock, and other things used by farmers. The dis tance from our gate to the west turn is jusf one mile, and the same to the corner at the store, and some cars travel this dis tance in less than 60 seconds. During a visit with , our bet ter half t to the Central Point flower show we were somewhat flustrated by the large number of the weaker sex, but finally ran on to two or three men, one of them being Frank Dean, bach elor dairyman; owner and occu pant with his mother of the well known Dean house at Willow Springs on the Old Stage road. The arrangement of the exhibits caused one's mind to revert to pioneer timesK so along .this line Frank told us some Indian stories told to him by old-timers. It seems that. Chief Joe of the Willow Springs tribe lived in his tepee some 150 yards from the Dean home, then occupied by Franks grandparents. Jim, a young Indian boy living with a white family, was taken with the Indians when they were moved north by the government. Later when a grown man he returned and visited with the Deans tell ing Frank's father and iWi r the whereabouts of a gold pan niied with, gold com and buried during the Indian uprising. Frank intimates that he , knows where the gold is buried, but we have our doubts, for from what we know of .the cow milking business, we believe any dairy man who might know where a pap of gold is buried would trade his milking stool for a shovel THE BIBLE TEACHES Justification through repentence giving one the new birth. John 3; 3. Making him a new creature 2 Cor.j 5-17. bringing man into favor with God. Sanctification through the word bringing oneness in believers. John 17; 9-17. also bringing man into one ness with Christ. Heb. 2t II. ' ?"' Jesus commanded that they wait on God for the Holy Ghost which gives power for service. Acts I; 4. They, obeyed, God fulfilled his promise. Why are there so many different denominations? not a difference of opinion, but simple UNBELIEF. Frank Howell and go to digging. Having received an invitation to attend the Roosevelt Memorial dinner given by the Jackson County Democrats, at the large hall with many others, some Re publicans, but mostly Democrats, and were seated at a table flank ed on two sides by attorneys who looked eager to prosecute or de fend, whichever you might need. Ed Kelly, one of them, remarked that we need have no fear as we were surrounded by Democratic lawyers and would be well taken care of. In looking up and down the long rows of tables we saw people of many vocations other than the butcher, baker, - and candlestock maker. There were school teachers past, and pres ent, persons holding important state and federal positions, ethers retired now, who had held with honor positions of trust in the Government of the United States. Then there were those who had donned uniforms and gone to the far corners of the world to defend their . country and the American way of life. As we gazed on the assemblage we wondered how this could be a segment of the party of trea son. We couldn't help but feel a bit guilty belonging to a party whose leaders have seen fit to brand these good people thus, in a desperate effort to enhance their chances in winning an elec tion. Mrs. Albert Strauss, head of the legislative committee of Sams Valley Grange, at Tues day night's meeting asked mem bers to write Rep. E. H. Mann protesting passage of Senate Bill 396, which would change the date of primary election. She says the proposed date would come in a bad season to get out the votes, and would shorten campaigning time giving the wealthy, who could use radio, television and airplanes an ad vantage over those who could not use these methods. M. A. Blackwood, local medicine-man, painter, and salesman, who suffered a hand injury last fall while picking pears, is back at his salesman's job, but is still nursing a lame finger. Friday.
