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 Assembly of God
church members attending class
sessions of a five-night worker's
training course at the Medford
Assembly of God church this
week were the Rev. and Mrs.
W. D. Turnbull, Mrs. Harold
Stagg, Mr. and Mrs. E. Wall,
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Belau, Mr.
and Mrs. W. L. Kimball, Mrs. Ed
France, Mrs. Mack Griffin, Mrs.
Earnest Rasmussen, Mrs. George

Mrs. Lora Young, Mr. J. E. Book,
Mrs. Alice Fields and R. B. Turn-
bull. The Rev. Robert Pirtle,
national Sunday school repre
sentative of the Assemblies of
God, was the instructor.
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

the Dusenberyy twins lighted the
candles, but the twin sons, John
and James, of Mrs. Lacey the
soloist vere unable to attend.
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.
