TABLE ROCK , Club's Yard Work Slated By R. E. NEALON Table Rock The January meeting of the Table Rock Corn unity club held last Friday night at the schoolhouse was attended by a rather small number of members. During a short busi ness meeting it was brought out that Edwin Taylor had of fered to donate work to finish grading and leveling the yard. The offer was accepted. The program had teen-agers in charge, and the main feature was a play, with Linda Doran, Penny Taylor, Wayne Wyatt and Carl Vanderpool taking the lead ing parts. A cake walk netted some S15 which will be used for improvements to the yard and other needs. As the river was rising quite rapidly Sunday evening, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Allen, whose home is only a few feet from the river bank, thought it would be a good time to accept an invitation for a night out, so were Sunday night guests at the Ray Bosworth home. The steady downpour of rain Saturday night and Sunday brought the river and creeks here to near flood stage, and brought out hundreds of sight seers from valley towns. The danger of another flood caused much worry to farmers who have lands bordering on the river, who, so far, haven't had a chance to repair damage caus ed by the December flood. The Robert Grant family re turned Saturday from Corcoran, Calif., where they spent the past several months. Mrs. Grant ex pressed herseif as being happy to be back, although during their absence flood waters had taken out fences and deposited mud and slime over the yard. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Pierce and children visited relatives at the R. H. Pruitt home in Grants Pass, Tuesday evening. Mrs. Milford Vanderpool left Wednesday for Farmersville, Calif., to spend a week visiting her sister at the Williams home. Bob Sage was in this section soliciting donations for the Me morial hospital Saturday, and re ports that he finds farmers in a rather dejected mood, and not flush with money. We recently received a letter from Congressman Ellsworth, enclosing circulars telling how to secure emergency loans. It seems to be eligible a farmer would have to be hit by some natural calamity, and unable to get credit from any other source, give a first lien on all crops to be produced, livestock and farm equipment purchased, the best lien obtainable on all other crops, growing or to be grown, and all equipment and livestock already owned in fact about everything visible or worth lean ing on. We thought we would write the congressman and tell him that we weren't eligible at present, but the way things are going, may soon be. We notice that the part of the consumers dollar that the farmer gets has dropped again, and is now 38 cents. Clyde Halfill, local boy, has enlisted for a four year term with the U.S. Air Force, and is now stationed at San Antonio Tex. His wife and baby will join him there as soon as housing facilities are obtained. A report of the death of Mrs. Addie Weaver Field, Dayville, Ore., on Dec. 22, in a recent is sue of the Oregon Journal, brings to mind that Addie Wea ver, a member of the Oliver Wea- ver family, with eight children, lived here back in the 90's in a house on what was then the Bybee ranch, about 20 rods east of the big barn at the Modoc Orchard. The Weavers had a plot of land leased from Bybee on which they grew large quan tities of potatoes. Several of the children attended the local school. Mrs. Glenn Smith of the Mo doc orchard is a patient at the Sacred Heart hospital, suffering with a broken leg caused by a fall in her home on Jan. 17. She was visited last Saturday by her two sisters, Mrs. Delores Ed wards, and Mrs. Beulah Henry of Oroville, Calif. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dunn and young son Jerry have mov ed into the house recently va cated by the Robert Sage family. Dunn is at present employed on his fathers farm near Central Point. Mrs. Pearl Brown of Paradise, Calif., is a visitor with her son and family at the Everett Brown home. Fred Smith received the sad news Saturday of the passing of his brother Charles, a former resident of this valley, at Wood burn, Ore., and he with other valley relatives ' attended the funeral held at Woodburn the following Tuesday. According to Walter Timm, watchful caretaker of TouVelle state park, several skunks were butchered and dressed for meat near the Bybee bridge last week. He thought they were being taken for the pelts, but was told they were to be used for table meat. Timm did not get the man's name, but from his con versation concluded he was from Oklahoma. In this great country of ours where we never "had it so good" we find some peculiar situations, one segment is eating so "high up on the hog" that they are having to take anti- hunger pills, or join some reduc ing school, while the other seg ment have to be satisfied with a diet of skunk. The other morning about -5 a.m., while listening to our bed side radio, we heard a tax ex pert talking over a S.F. station say that although California's tax take is the highest per cap ita in the nation, the present system will have to , be revised, as it is not meeting the state's requirements. With a state sales tax of 3 per cent, and many of the ' cities levying one of their own, it all goes to show that the more money they take in the more they'll spend. The reports about samples of ore taken from the Al Sarena mines being thrown in the river, reminds us of the time when a local resident was trying to sell a mine he had developed in the Meadows district. A prospective buyer had come up from Cali fornia to look it over and take some samples back to have as sayed. This was in the horse and buggy days, with rocky, steep roads, making a trip to the Meadows area an all day journey. A "hack" with a fast stepping team, belonging to the mine owner, and a party of four including the owner, and would- be buyer, started out early in the morning, got to the mine in time to dig out a sack of ore and get back to the mine owners' home that evening. But when they went to remove the ore they found it was missing. Pre sumably it had fallen from the vehicle while going up one . of the rocky hills, at least that was the opinion "of the mine owner As it was late in the' evening and the buyer had to leave for San Francisco the next morn ing, they were getting into a despondent mood when the owner suddenly "realized" that he had a sack of the same ore taken from the mine which he would let the buyer have. So everything was rosy again as to making the sale, but it develop ed later that one of the passen gers in the back seat had kick ed the sack of ore out from behind while the vehicle rattled JACKSONVILLE Mothers1 March Tuesday By MRS.

The group from Jacksonville represented both . teachers and workers for the church here and all were working to obtain a up a rocky hill and the sack at home came from a good ledge in the Applegate hills. This seller of salted mines was the same man that thought he had struck oil on his farm here only to find out later that his oil well had been "oiled." Steve Wilson and son, Larry, were recent invited guests of the Ford Motor Co. of Detroit, who furnished them airplane tran sportation from Medford and took them on a sight-seeing tour of the big plant where they were shown how Ford products are made, the many intricate ma chines operated by skilled me chanics and the latest models of trucks and cars. They returned Sunday, bringing back four of the latest models in logging trucks, driving two and bring ing the other two a sort of pig gy back method. They saved some $2,400 in freight by driv ing them home and more than $10,000 sales tax by taking de livery in Oregon which has no sales tax. The Wilsons, didn't see any country they liked as well as Oregon, except possibly Idaho, where they saw large herds of fat cattle and many hay stacks. The Iowa farms with their rundown fences and build ings and piles of grain dumped on the ground didn't appeal to them at all. We attended the Dunn and Tonn wedding last Saturday when He! on Tonn, the twin dau ghter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Tonn was wedded ( to Richard Dunn, the twin son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dunn.

We saw so many of our rela tives there an dsome that we see so seldom that we didn't know them, so had to be careful with our conversation, as it seemed like everyone was a relative, one way or another.
