The site is off the old Crater Lake highway, to the east, just north of Spring st., according to School Superintendent E. H. Hedrick. The property is being purchased "from the Phipps family. . wnne ine enure, oa aucs would not be used as a school site, Hedrick explained that the larger area is advantageous for several reasons, " among them controlling the laying out of streets in a school area. Lessons learned in earlier school site purchases shows that it is bet ter to have too large an area, rather than too little, he added. "' The purchase is in conformity with the board's policy of obr tabling school sites in strategic locations for future needs as and if they arise. The board has never lost money on such a purchase. . . Yrekans To Ballot on Swimming Pool Plan Yreka ; A special bond elec tion will be held Aug. 2 for ap proval of funds to build a new swimming pool. The Yreka city council last week passed an ordinance calling for the special election. The pres ent pool, which councilmen have termed inadequate and "worn out," would be replaced with one costing $70,000, financed by the bond issue. The sum represents a maxi mum price for the pool, and councilmen have said that if prices exceed this figure, the bonds will not be sold. ; 4-H Club Hews RuchettM ' The Ruchettes sewing club had their third meeting June 23 at the home of Thirley Dunlap.

Durling (Distributed by Kinfl Psatwaa Syndicate, lac) High on the list of forgotten men are those who invented things that have meant, and con tinue to mean, so much . to so many people. For example, who invented the windshield wiper for automobiles? Who originated the paper clip? Who was the in ventor of the automatic dial sys tem telephone? Who thought up the idea of the light socket that permits the moving of lamps about? Who invented the electric self-starter for automobiles and thus relieved autoists of the ter rible task of cranking to get the motor going? Names Am informed that at an Air Force base in California there is a United States Army sergeant whose first name is Doris. Not only that, his wife's name is Johnnie. I still can't understand why parents should give a male child such a name as Doris. How ever, that is not the topper. A San Francisco couple, named their male child Cleopatra. As an adult he became a longshoreman, and retained the first name his parents gave him! Great Lover The poet Byron, rated one of the greatest lovers of all time, had difficulty in getting a date with a beautiful girls when he was 18. He was then much too fat to be a heart throb. Weighed 200 pounds. He went on a diet. In time he reduced to 143. Many glamorous females then went wild over him. Byron " had a quaint reduction diet. It con sisted chiefly of biscuit and soda water. So though he became a great and much sought after lover, he ruined his stomach with his curious diet and passed on at the age of 35. Heredity A man of great physical strength inherits that character istic from his mother. Doesn't make any difference how small his father is. So those who should know frequently claim. Anyway, they could prove it by John L. Sullivan, the great heavyweight boxer. John's mother was a tall, strong woman. His father was small. Also Rocky Marciano's father "is somewhat -small. Rocky's mother is well built and quite strong. . Get It Right What is the first ' line of the poem by Samuel Woodworth titled The Old Oaken Bucket"? That seems a simple question. Yet it is one of the most mis quoted of all poetic lines. Grant land Rice won considerable money wagering fellows they couldn't quote the line correctly. Majority would say it is "How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood." That's wrong. It is "How dear to this heart are the scenes of my childhood." Keep that in mind, sir. Not "my heart" but "this heart.! Maybe you can win a few wagers on it. Even college professors frequent ly quote it wrongly. - ' ' Records Billy Sunday, the evangelist, was once a major league baseball player. The first thirteen times Sunday, went to bat for "Cap" Anson's Chicago Cubs he struck out. If that isn't the record for consecutive strikeouts by - "one player, what is? . . . At one time Fred Allen, the airwave come dian, was one of America's great est users of tobacco. He smoked fifteen cigars a day and in be tween chewed tobacco. Proposals i - How far do you go on refusing to take "no" for an answer? How many times did you propose to the girl who became your bride before she accepted? Or did she propose to you? Anyway, Andre Kostelanetz proposed to Lily Pons thirteen times before she accepted. Californian Seeks News of Old Friend James D. Demuth,. a former resident of Klamath Falls who now lives at 4604 36th st., Sacra mento, Calif., was a Medford visitor last week, and dropped in to the Mail Tribune seeking in formation about an' old friend whom he knew in the mid-1 920s The man in whom he' was in terested was named Cone or Cone', Demuth recalls, but he wasn't sure about the first name. But he did remember that Cone had long flowing hair . and a beard, and was noted for the fact that for a number of years he was a lookout in the new discarded station on top of Mt McLoughlin. None of the "old timers" on the Mail Tribune staff were around during Demuth's visit, and the younger members had only vague and hazy recollec tions of having read about the man he described. It is thought that a number of Medford resi dents must know of Cone's his tory, and might be interested in letting Demuth know at his Sac ramento address. Construction Starts (0)n New (Fire Station For CP. fturaD Area Preparation of land for a White City fire station in the Central Point Rural Fire protec tion district started last week, and construction of the $21,000 building is expected to begin within 10 days.

Legion Studying Building Expansion The American Legion Post 15 is studying the possibilities for development of the present Le gion property at 531 South Riv erside ave., according to Bud Fisher, newly-elected comman. der. A building committee consist ing of Tom Shepard, chairman, Fred Beck, Joe Fliegel and Clark Walker - has been appointed to investigate the feasibility of re building or enlarging the post's hall. ' Now Too Small The present home is much too small for the members of Post 15, Fisher said.
