Tuesday, October 11, 1955 TABLE ROCK Bird Season Problem Told Table Rock The near ap proach to the open season for pheasants reminds us of a hassle we got -thto last year, over whether farmers owning land were in their rights in refusing to grant hunting privileges on their own premises, and the ra ther sarcastic communication in the Mail Tribune from a Med ford hunter. All the landowners we have checked with so far this season have expressed themselves as not desirous of having hunters going over their fields and think it should be on an invitation basis only. There are some, how ever, who have orchard trees and livestock who are not going to give anv invitations, takine the same attitude of a merchant when he hangs up a "no credit don't ask" sign in his store. Don Whitney, pastor of the Central Point Church of Christ. with his wife and two sons, Ron nie and . Stephen, were callers here Jriday evening. Gordon Gwinn. recently dis charged from the Air Force, used his hunters choice and bagged a doe near the Table Rock Estates one day last week, which is the only deer we have seen killed in this vicinity this season. Mr. and Mrs. Lester Throck morton, Medford, were recent business visitors here during the past week. John Nealon reports that a blue parakeet has joined a band of blackbirds, and seems to feel at home in their company, being seen with them a number of times recently. ' Grover Cook, who died recent ly in Medford, was a former res ident of this community, the Cook family living in a house about 50 yards from where the roads cross going to the Table Rock store on what is now the Modoc Orchard. It was here that Grover Cook and his bride, the former Molly Nichols, first liv ed after their marriaee in 1902. the Nichols family at that time living in the house now occupied by the Bert Pierce family. Bill Bray, local auctioneer, has just completed a large room in his auction building where an up-to-the-minute restaurant will be in operation on sale days to keep the many spectators and bidders nourished and keen enough to keep up with Bill's rapid-fire lingo, so they can get the critter they desire. Bill is one of our farmers with a side line, or maybe we should say, our auctioneer with a side line. School Notes Dannv Miller. the city cousin who in trying to correct the grammar of his cousin, Gail Bishop, said, "there ain't no ain't in the dictionary," and Peter Sage, the talkative young son of Principal Bob Sage, who at the close of his first dav of school was asked what he'd learned, replied that he'd learn ed not to talk so much. Patrons of the Columbia Util ities company were without tele phone service for some little time recently, caused by the dam aging of the cable carrying the smaller wires by a charge of birdshot, which it would seem was done intentionally by some Daily Weather Report Sunset tonight, 5:38 p.m.; sunrise to morrow, 6:21 a.m. FORECASTS: ' MEDFORD AND VICINITY Mostly cloudy with occasional light rain to night and Wednesday.

H. M. Harper has been sitting out a several days lay off, owing to a mishap, while giving a peni cillin shot to a cow at the Table Rock orchard. He was crowded against the wall, sustaining two broken ribs. Later, he and his wife left at 6:00 a.m. Friday morning for a deer hunt in the Debenger gap district and were back home by 8:00 a.m. with a nice fat buck. Also the Roming ers brought home a large four point : buck after a short hunt in the Butte Falls vicinity. Mr. and Mrs." W. A. Darling, who have a grade A dairy barn and equipment, are in the mar ket for a herd of dairy cows that can be purchased from an own er with a milk quota, the quota to go "with the cows. Mr. and "Mrs. Walter Miller are caring for their grandson. while their son's wife, the form er Jewel Cook, is confined to the hospital, where she under went a serious brain operation. We spent our vacation this year in watching the world series baseball games, and "never en joyed them more. . To anyone who at some time has played and followed baseball, it is the grand est game of them all. With an easy chair in front of a televis ion set, surrounded by good company and all pulling for the Dodgers, who could ask for any better or more "thrilling enter tainment. The Table Rock Ladies club will hold their October meeting at the home of Mrs. Alan Fleisch er Wednesday afternoon, Oct 12, with Mrs. Frank Myers as sisting. Mr, and Mrs. Ray Doran and daughter Linda, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Sharp, Medford, are taking a short va cation in California, going as far south as Fresno. ' Ralph James, prominent Sams Valley Democrat, was a brief visitor here Sunday evening. Straus Bros, of Sams Valley have their equipment here, har vesting a late crop of alfalfa that they are putting into silos for feeding their large herd of dairy and beef cattle. They have just finished harvesting a large quan tity of alfalfa seed on their home place and have bought a quant ity of hay and forage to offset the acreage taken out of hay production to make seed. The Vinson Hunts, of the Mea dows district, were business callers here Thursday. Counting the months of April and September and the four months between, 28,741 cars crossed the counting tape at TouVelle park, and figuring 3V4 persons to the car, this would make a total of 93,408 persons, not counting those who might have walked, that visited thje park during this time. TouVelle park is a living memorial to the late Judge TouVelle, who with love and devotion lor his fellow man and generations to come generously donated this land to the state of Oregon for park pur poses. The passing of Ross Kline re cently in Medford came as a surprise and severe shock to his many friends here where he was well know, -having at 'one time lived here and in later years op erating the local TouVelle prop erty. We have known Ross for many years, dating back to when he was inspecting orchards for blight, which was a ticklish -job at that time, but handled by him to the satisfaction of all. His friendly manner, and kind dis position, coupled with-' the dig nity he possessed on all- occas ions where, dignity was need ed, won him friends wherever he went. One would have to go a long way to find a better neighbor or more loyal citizen than Ross Kline. Mr. and Mrs: Ray Wyatt and son Wayne returned Sunday from Eugene where they attend ed the wedding of Kenneth Wyatt and Helen Campbell Wood at the Bethesda Lutheran church in Eugene. The young couple will make their home in Castro Valley, Calif., near where Kenneth is employed as school psychologist. Kenney, as he is known here, is a local boy and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Wyatt and has the well wishes and sincere hopes for his future happiness and that of his better half. Mrs. Fred Middlebusher and Mrs. Emma Houston were Fri day afternoon visitors with their niece and grand-daughter, Mrs. R. E. Nealon.
