School Board Plans
Purchase of Site
The . board of directors of
School District 49 has made ar
rangements for the purchase of
a 35-acre site north of Medford
for the construction of a new
hitrh school, if one is needed in
that area in the future, it was
reported last week.
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. . .

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. ;

On The Side
By E. V. 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.
