One of the Home members in L. A. called attention to a gov ernment map showing the loca tion of uranium deposits in the U. S. Western Oregon is without a developed uranium claim. This is surprising because of the prevalence at one time or another of other ores, including Grange Gold Hill Juvenile Grange In conjunction with the subor dinate Grange lecturer's pro gram, the Gold Hill Juvenile Grange met March 15, with mas ter Terry Turney presiding, and in presence of the subordinate Grange. The purpose was to honor charter members of the Gold Hill subordinate grange on their charter anniversary night. Presentation of the flag was by Assistant Stewards and Ceres, followed by the juvenile seating drill of all officers and members present. , Charter members were con ducted to the masters station. They were Brother and Sister S. M. Christensen, Sisters Wil bur Martin, Carrie Puhl arid Brother Earl Kroft. The worthy master presented each a special anniversary card signed by all juvenile members present. Gold Hill Grange The Gold Hill Grange met March 15, celebrating charter night. The grange was opened by the Juveniles who put on their seating drill and then pre sented the subordinate charter members to their masters sta tion, to receive anniversary cards signed . by all juvenile members. The Grange is very proud of the juveniles. The lecture hour was put on by Icie Walker, celebrating the charter member's anniversary. It was voted by the Grange to erect a float in the Pear Blos som festival. A committee was appointed to take care of this entry. There were several commu nity projects brought up before the Grange, which will be an nounced later. Bob Cook presented beautiful gavels which he had made, to the master and overseer. The Grange closed with the retiring drill, after which a huge anniversary cake was served by Mrs. A.A. Walker. The next serving committee will be Mrs. Waite, Eskew and Footes. l i V 7 o a TELEVISION & SERVICE Sunday- March 18, 1956 . News and Notes From Camp White gold.and the plethora of min erals and variegated rock forma tions that have distinguished the Rouge valley at a mineralogical paradise. Thriving Business Any prospector visiting the mountainous regions of Oregon is certainly justified in believing "there is uranium in those hills." In fact, the Geiger counter busi ness was thriving in Medford be fore the writer left last fall. It is possible that the hes itancy to go into the business oi locating uranium deposits is due to the extent of federal hold ings of forest and mining lands in Oregon, and the reluctance of large interests to invest because of the difficulties involved in proving claims. There is another reason appar ent in the fact that uranium, unlike- gold, silver, copper and lead, is not found in larg deposits anywhere. The ore is scattered in small outcroppings close to the surface and not in veins or pock ets large enough to work. Be this as it may, there is one thing certain from this vantage point. Oregon rocks have a fasci nation outside the state that, with promotion, could become another asset, minor to mineral development, but major .as an advertising feature. - Here in Southern California, the picture agates and moss agates, the unique jaspers and distinctive stones like Medfordite and Rogueite, the pseudomorph series and transparencies, are a delight to all gem lovers, and this includes a great many women. Aside from the widespread in terest as a hobby, rock collect ing is confined to the compara tively few enthusiasts who are naturalists more than salesmen or promoters. . Perhaps the Chamber of Com merce can take up this sugges tion in any new approaches being considered to further interest in community resources and proj ects. 18 Timber Tracts Sold By BLM During February Thirteen tracts of .O and C timber and five tracts of public domain timber were sold during February, according to Virgil T.
