evs About Books
From the
By MISS HELEN WEBSTER
Medford Librarian
We must have clubs! Organ
ized groups can achieve much
that individuals working alone
cannot. Anyone who doubts that
women's clubs have accomplish
ed a great deal and are now
ar.romnlishinz even more
should check the record.
To be a successful and effec
tice club member takes plenty of
know-how in these times, some
of which your Medford Public
Library stands ready to supply.
Practical Advice
One of the newest books on
its shelves is ' How to Run a
Club," by Harry Simmons.
Here club leaders will find a
wealth of practical advice on
how to solve legal and financial
problems, how to increase mem
bership, how to obtain and
handle speakers, how to build
attendance at meetings, how to
plan interesting programs, and
similar problems involved in
running a club.
Two other titles giving gen
eral advice on club management
are "How to Be a Clubwoman,"
by Helen Le Cron and Edith Mc
Elroy, and -Let's Make Plan?,"
by Elizabeth Downs.
Money Making
Making money is often quite
as essential as making plans in
club work. To help you with
"Projects that Pay" the library
olfers the book of that title by
Jane Kirk, as well as "McCall's
Complete Eook of Bazaars" and
"Money Raising; How to Do It,"
by Irene Gerlinger. This last
book has suggestions not only for
clubs but for churches, col
leges, philanthropies, and com
munity hospitals.
If church or Grange suppers
are one of your money-raising
activities, you'll find another
book by Jane Kirk helpful.
"What's Cooking?" supplies a
wide choice of recipes for cook
ing in quantity for picnics, com
munity dinners, or for institu
tions. Program Helps
Two books that will help you
when it's your turn to plan the
program are a "Handbook of
Skits and Stunts", by Helen and
I Always good
t" loved by everybody!'

Larry Eisenberg and '"The Pro
gram Encyclopedia," by Clem
ent A. Duran. The latter volume
catalogs more than 5.000 pro
gram ideas covering social fun,
sports, hobbies, adventures in
religion, cultural activities, spe
cial days and weeks, service
' ar-tiviT ip; and mnnev raiinf
projects. This book will be kept
available for use in the library's
reference collection: all other
titles mentioned in this column
will circulate and should be re
served in advance of need.
Once you are drawn into club
work, you are likely to find
yourself president. Some of the
things you had better know are
set forth for you in Virginia
Bailard's "So You Were Elected"
and in Helen Peffer's "Madam
Chairman, Members and
Guests." Helen Hokinson car-
iuuiis enliven nubs i-eiici s uuun.
Edward Hegarty passes along
some good pointers on ways to
make club meetings more suc
cessful in his book, "How To
Run a Meeting." Other sugges
tions along this line will be
found in "New Ways to Better
Meetings" by Bert and Frances
Strauss.
TV Literature Shov
Changes Time Monday
Dr. Arthur Kreisman's tele
vision program, "Adventures in
Literature" has been moved up
15 minutes from 6 p.m. to 5:45
p.m. Mondays, it was announced
Saturday. The program is spon
sored by the Oregon state exten
sion division.
Credit is given for the course
which has, according to station
officials, one of the highest
viewer ratings in the area.
Because of his success and ex
perience in this field, Kreisman
has been selected to plan the
world literature correspondence
course to be used throughout all
the state institutions of higher
learning.
Kreisman, head of the depart
ment of humanities at Southern
Oregon college, presented the
first of his televised lectures in
Traffic Mishaps Hit

Newbry.
September, last month for
which complete figures are avail
able, saw 4.844 accidents, injur
ingl.221 persons.
Portland city traffic accounted
for 2.038 of the September
crashes and other urban areas
reported 1,449. There were 1,357
accidents in rural localities.
The 1955 accident total is
running ahead of 1954, Newbry
said.

TABLE ROCK
Birds Vanish
Table Rock Our average
through the years has been two
pheasants during the open sea
son but this time we got none,
although several friends prom
ised to get us one while hunting
on our farm, but failed to even
get one for themselves. When
the shooting began at the sea
son's opening, the chinks took
off for parts unknown, but Tues
day morning the three big roos
ters raised in the berry patch
were back, marching over the
lawn daring us to shoot.
The Sams Valley Gospel
church, erected by donations of
labor and material, has teen in
operation for some time. The
members meet each Sunday for
church services and Sunday
school. The 30 by 40-foot build
ing is located on the northeast
corner of the Ralph James prop
erty, the site being donated by
him. The building will soon be
enlarged by adding another
room for the Sunday school.
At last Sunday's session of the
school, members voted to donate
S4.00 a week to the American
S.S. union. During Mr. Hill's
last visit here he informed mem
bers of the Sunday school that
the union would have to discon
tinue furnishing a missionary in
this area, unless more money is
made available. He stated that
many of the denominational
churches of the valley in the past
contributed to this work, but are
now using these funds for their
own missionary work. It seems
to those who believe that a Sun
day school is an asset to a com
munity, in keeping down juve
nile delinquency, and teaching
the growing generation that
there are God-made and man
made laws that must be obeyed
in order to become honest,
worthwhile citizens, will have to
be more liberal with time and
money toward this work.
So far no clues have been
turned up as to the loss of five
head of cattle fnom the river
bottom pastures of the Darlings,
or the killing and theft of a beef
animal in the pastures of the
Table Top ranch. The latter
must have been done by ama
teurs, according to workmen on
the ranch, as the animal was
shot through the shoulder, not
properly bled, and about half of
During Season
the meat, including some of the
best cuts, were left on the
ground. ...
Those who attended last
week's cattle auction report that
cattle prices hit a new low. ..It
has been some little time since
we have heard implement deal
ers telling how many steers will
buy a tractor, or how many trac
tors it would take to buy a steer.
R. V. Beall, the sage of Beall
lane, was telling us that a party
who read our items about his
father's discovery of Crater
Lake, wrote to him and wanted
him to write the story for a radio
program to be aired over station
KFI in Hollywood. Mr. Beall
said his father and the party,
consisting of his father's brother
and five other men led by Jim
Hillman of Jacksonville, were
really in search for the Lost
Cabin mine, which a man on his
death bed had told of finding,
which was fabulously rich in
gold, and located about 90 miles
northeast of Jacksonville.' The
Hillman party was wandering
around through the jack pines
in their search when they stum
bled onto Crater Lake. The Lost
Cabin mine, claimed to be a real
ity, was searched for by many
in days gone by, but was never
found.
We saw a notice on the TV set
at the Bosworth home the other
night which read "TV to be turn
ed on only at request of guests,"
and we thought this might be a
splendid plan, as we remembered
that George Loftin, the Beagle
Democrat, and optimist, told us
one time that he felt out of place
when visiting friends with a TV
set, especially if they had it
turned on when he arrived.
Gerald Mitchell, cattleman
and timber worker of the Mead
ows district, a recent visitor
here, states that his regular fall
sale of cattle brought him about
enough money to pay his taxes,
so he is now working in the tim
ber for funds to buy his winter's
hay.
A large grey eagle measuring
6 feet 6 inches from tip to tip
was killed recently by some trigger-happy
hunter on the Nealon
farm. The bird was picked up
by Lloyd Dusenberry, who was
falling timber in the vicinity and
heard the shot some distance
awaV. Eagles are protected , in
the state of Oregon, and a pen
alty would be meted out to any
one found guilty of destroying
them.
A Table Rock man starts to
town, a black cat runs across the
road in front of his car, he hesi
tates, for a brief moment, but
goes on, gets a traffic ticket
while in town, so now is con
vinced he should have heeded
the black cat's warning and
turned back.
The Lininger Construction Co.
of Medford is trucking gravel
out of a pit recently opened on
the north bank of Rogue river,
west of the State park.
The surplus of farm crops,
which some say was brought
about by price supports, was
with us more than 70 years ago.
Along about the time the Peo
ples party was organized, from
one-fourth to one-third of the
nation's wheat crop was surplus,
and some politicians claimed
that the surplus set the price on
the whole crop, which they
claimed was unjust. Lowering
the support to cut down produc
tion would have worked the oth
er way at that time as nearly all
farmers had loans on their prop
erty that required so many bush
els of wheat, then the principal
cash crop, to pay thetinterest. If
it took 1,000 bushels of 50-cent
wheat, and the price dropped to
40 cents, they had to raise 1,250
bushels to turn : the trick. In
those days a 50-cent bushel of
wheat would buy a pair of over
alls with the galluses thrown in,
three pounds of Arbuckle coffee
and six squares of Star tobacco
Three bushels would buy a pair
of shoes, and six to seven bushels
an all-wool suit of clothes. We
used to have one of the old Peo
ples party banners with the let
ters F. A. & I. U. which meant
Farmers Alliance and Independ
ent union.
Along about the close of World
War II, a -member of the Sams
Valley Grange who liked to talk,
and was a good talker, made a
speech about world conditions
and stated that the time had
come when farmers would never
again have to worry about sur
pluses, that our problem from
now on would be to grow enough
food to feed the world. It sound-
