TABLE ROCK
Word About Crash Received
By R.CE. NEALON
Table Rock Mrs. Ray Bos
worth received a cablegram
from the War Department at
Washington, D. C, Saturday
morning, Feb. 25, telling of the
crash of an AiroForce C-47 trans
port plane piloted by her son,
Col. Claire A. P. Duffie, assist
ant to the Air Force chief of
Staff at the American embassy
in Madrid, Spain. No further
news was received by Mrs. Bos
O worth until early Sunday morn
ing, when eP bPoadcast from a
California radio station telling
of Duffie and two others being
rescued was picked up by a
neighbor and phoned to her.
During the intervening time
she spent many moments in
fervent prayer and anxiety. A
recent letter from his wife states
that the colonel is in a hospital
in Weisbaden, Germany, being
treated for frost-bitten limbs
and other injuries, caused by
being 40 hours in a freezing
snjw storm, which piled up
some seven feet of new snow
on the already snow-covered
peak, where he helped two oth
ers back to shelter. They were
thrown from the plane during
the crash. The Table- Rock
neighbors who shared her, anx
iety rejoice with her that al
though it .will require a lot of
courage and time to fully re
cover, he is making progress.
A combination party was held
Friday evening at the Ray Doran
home, celebrating the 20th birth
day of Mrs. Schulz, and the 22nd
anniversary of the coming of the
Ray Dorans to Table Rock.
Mrs. Milford Vanderpool and
on, James, returned" Wednes
day from Fellows, Calf., where
they , attended the .funeral " of
Mrs. Vanderpool's brother - in
law, Fred Voorhigo, who died
Feb. 25. Mrs. Vanderpool's sis
ter, Mrs. Jane Roberts of Selig
man, Mo., passed away on the
same date.
According to a recent news
tory concerning the will of the
late Judge Frank L. TouVelle,
the major part of his estate was
put in a trust fund for assist
ance to worthy boys who are to
be recommended by the super
intendent of the Medford city
chools. Among other benefici
aries are two cousins of the
judge, Mrs. William Isaacs, local
resident, and her brother, Lloyd
Williamson, who get the Jack
sonville home and contents. The
real property, consisting of or
chard and farm land, has an ap
praisal value of $72,500. The
farm land here is leased by V.
B. Bowman and son of the Med
ford area, who operate it as a
cattle ranch.
Some of us like radio theater
plays better than thoe on tele
vision, because we can use our
imagination as to the actors'
looks, which in most cases are
better than they really look,
especially on a television screen
with a foaming glass of beer
sandwiched in between the acts.

ley farmer and stockman, was
here on business Monday. He

was inquiring about hay, just
in casf he has sold himself
short, as his pasture at the pres
ent is covered with snow.
M. E. and Morton Gossett,
who according to a news item
in the Central Point American,
recently purchased a pair of
registered ayrshires. are resi
dents of the Agate district, and
not the local district.
At the last meeting of the
local Community club a com
mittee was appointed to work
out some sort of plan for taking
over the school house as a com
munity center, and submit the
plan to members at a future
meeting. This was brought about
by the District 6 school board
wishing to be released of the
responsibility of keeping it up,
since it is not being used for
school purposes. As the deed
to the property is a little out
of the ordinary, it may be diffi
cult for the school board to dis
pose of it by a legal deed. The
parties donating the land, back
in 1892, specified in the deed
that when the property ceased
to be used for the purpose of
maintaining a public school, or
if the directors should fail to
build and maintain a lawful five
foot high board and post fence
around the lot, the school dis
trict was pledged io redeed the
land to Fredrick Hansen and his
wife, Emilie Hansen, donors of
the land.
When wire fencing came into
use, the board of directors se
' cured a permit from the Han
sens to put up the other style
of fencing. Since both the Han
sens died many years ago, ef
forts are being made to contact
a daughter known to be" living
a few years ago, who at that
time stated in a letter, in an
swer to an inquiry as to her
turning over her claim to the
property for a community cen
ter, stated that she would be
happy to turn over her claim
to the writer, for whatsoever
use he desired to make of it.
Fred Hansen at the time he do
nated this acre, owned a section
of land here, about 400 acres
now in the Leverette holdings,
and also what is now the Robin
son and Taylor farms extending
to the river. The family lived
in the house now occupied by
the Elmo Stallings which was
built in the 70s by Dr. Stanley,
then the only doctor in the
north end of the county. The
big hay and stock barn was
built by Hansen, also the rock
fence, now a land mark on the
west slope of upper Table Rock.
A staunch believer in education,
he built and maintained for
some time a private school as
at the time he came to the dis
trict a three months term suf
ficed for the year's schooling.
The weather we have been
having here lately, with snow,
sleet and temperatures below
freezing, is working a terrific
hardship on farmers with stock
to feed, who, owing to weather
conditions last fall, started feed
ing much earlier than usual, and
have had to keep at it ever since.
With hay at a fairly high
price and stock prices the low
est in several years, stockmen
will be lucky this year if they
don't lose their shirts.
Mrs. Jacobson says that March
came in ,here like a lamb, so ac
cording to the old adage will
go out like a lion. With the
ground hogs and lions working
against us, what chance do we
have?
Mrs. Frank Myers was the
winner of a $25 grocery order
last Tuesday by correctly an
swering a radio quiz.
In our last 'notes we failed
to mention that Abagail, the
Doty bummer sheep, has two
black lambs, and Mrs. Don
Wheeler is raising two bummer
lambs that her dog Tippie has
takin over, to help with their
bringing up, sleeping with them
at night and giving them tongue
baths in the morning. Tippie
proudly posed, for a movie pic
ture the other day, with a paw
around Spottie's neck. Jenny,
the Bishop sheep, didn't deserve
the mention she got, since -she
refuses to let Lucy eat at the
same table with Booker T.
O. T. Wilson, the Central
Point city farmer, dropped in
Tuesday morning to find out
how cold it was. Said he had
two thermometers at home, but
one said 12 degrees and the
other 20 degrees, and he won
dered which was right. We sug
gested that he split the differ
ence, which would make it 16,
which he found later was what
the weatherman reported.
Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Goodlin of
Corcoran, Calif., were transact
ing business here over the week
end, having sold their farm to
Cecil Carver of Medford, who
with his wife and son have
taken possession and are now
living on the place, which they
expect to make into a stock
ranch.
During their stay here the
Goodlins proved to be excellent
.neighbors, always ready and
willing to help out other farm
ers in the pinches when help
was hard to get, and the going
was tough.
Roscoe Roberts, the Medford
jack of many trades including
dairying, was a recent hay buy
er here. He was telling of a
new method of producing feed,
which he says he bought $9,000
worth of in 1955. If it proves

Mrs. Lillian Mae Rue, mother
of Elmer Rue, died March 6 at
the home of her daughter, in
Grants Pass. Previous to her
death, she had made her home
here for several months. She
to be a success, it will replace
much of the feed now purchased
by dairymen.
The contraption is what could
be called a grass incubator,
where seed barley is placed in
trays treated with chemicals
and kept in a temperature of
72 degrees, where it sprouts and
makes a growth of six inches
in six days. At the end of the
six days the six pounds of seed
has grown tp;42 pounds of feed
that will furnish a days feed,
for two cows, replacing con
siderable grain and about half
the usual feed of hay. Roscoe
says one of his fellow dairymen
has ordered three units of the
gadget at a cost of about $750
each.
Strange as it may seem, when
one gets to the place where
birthdays are things to forget,
everyone else seems to remem
ber them. On our last one we got
reminders ranging from a greet
ing card picturing some nice
fat skunks, to a miniature trac
tor minus a seat, which caused
us to think it was a,! Benson.
The dejected looking driver
with the seat of his pants gone,
looked the part, but he still had
pants, so it may be an imitation.
We will have to' sniff around a
bit to find what caused some
one to get the skunk idea.
At the next meeting of the
local ladies club to be held at
the school house, Thursday,
March 15, a plant exchange will
be held. The regular meeting
date has been set up one day.
Mrs. William Bishop and Mrs.

1 at the schoolhouse, all three

Hamilton, Walter Leverette and
Elmer Hull. Last years assess
