EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. April 22. 1956 TABLE ROCK Field Crops Need Rainfall By R. E. NEALON Table Rock Spring sown crops here, such as grains and alfalfa, which farmers were forced to sow late owing to the excess moisture left in the soil by the heavy winter rains, are now badly in need of rain. If the dry sunny weather continues for any length of time it will mean ihort grain crops. Some fields of grain haven't sprouted as yet and in most places where the plants are be ginning to show up the stand is spotted and thin. Some farmers with irrigation equipment have begun to sprinkle fields of newly sown alfalfa clover, and in some places grain fields. Barbara Wheeler is confined to her bed with her right leg in a cast, owing to a fracture re ceived when she and sister Judy jumped from the granary win dow last Thursday evening with out a parachute. Judy fared bet ter as the fall was broken by Barbara who was the first to reach the ground. A Mercury brush chipper, a gadget used to grind up limbs and brush, is being used here by a crew of the Stevens Tree Sur geons of Portland in removing interfering brush and tree branches along the power lines. A man in a big basket on a power lift is elevated to where he can cut the brush and tree limbs, which fall and are picked up by another workman and thrown into the big hopper of the chipper, where they go through in a flash, becoming something like hog fuel or even finer.

Among those getting river bot tom top soil for their lawns from this district are Robert Sage, Steve Wilson and Glenn Hoist. Bill Bishop writes from Kansas City that the weather is fine, he is batching and working six days a week. He is employed by an uncle, who operates a lumber business and has a number of farms. Several from here attended the meeting of the local Ladies club, held Wednesday, April 18, at the home of Mrs. Francis Russell west of Medford. There will be some famous cowboy singers and a barbershop quartet on the program at the next community meeting Friday night, April 27, according to the program committee. The Retired Teachers associa tion of Jackson County met April 9 at the home of Mrs. J. S. Rich ardson with some 25 in attend ance, including 23 school marms and two past school masters. Charley Hoover, the Republi can optimist, whose farm income has been shrinking the past few years, met us at Bill Bray's auc tion sale the other day, and called us a Democrat. He said he got the idea from our writings, which he thought leaned too much toward the New Deal. Then he patted me on the back and said he never missed read ing our stuff, said it was the most interesting part of the pa per. So, if Charley thinks we are a Democrat, maybe we had better change our registration. Since at this time the Repub lican goose is hanging high, and they figure to be sure winners in the next election, no one could say we were leaving a sinking ship, and with a farmers chances of making money what they are, they couldn't say we were quitting while we were ahead. Smudging festivities were held Tuesday morning in Table Rock pear orchards. As the old Indian said, "Heap . big smoke, little fire." The committee appointed by the president of the Table Rock Community club to investigate the possibility .of acquiring the school building for a community center met with the school board of District 6 April 9. At this meeting it developed that the consensus of all board members was that the building should be turned over to the Table Rock Sunday school, which has ap- mm On display, No$ rr rl I ill tJ GAS RANGES FOR 1956 featuring the Revolutionary SHUS Automatic Top Burner Temperature Control To REALLY appreciate them you MUST come look . . .

A new twist in keeping roving elk away from farm fields is being tried out in Clatsop county. They're using firecrackers. Members of the Astoria Rod and Gun Club are trying the ex periment out on the Jack Burk hart farm. They put strings of the noisemakers around Burt hart's fields. The firecrackers are attached in strings of a doz en to a long rope fuse.

WINNERS Prize winners at the re-openlng celebration of the Medford Furniture Store here the first week in April were Mrs. Inez Hagerty, Dixie Lane, and Richard Farrell, 511 Dakota street, both of Medford. Mrs. Hagerty, center, was winner of a new Philco television set and Farrell, right, was awarded a Kroehler devenport and chair. Robert Rector, left, owner and manager of Medford Furniture store made the awards last week. The loca tion at 220 North Bartlett st., which housed the firm during the rebuilding of the fire damaged main store, is now the location of the Medford Furniture Saving Center, fea turing new and used home furnishings. plied for it, and be used for a community center. The board agreed to release their claim when it is shown that the ones who are legally heirs will agree to deed it to the Sunday school. During the past few weeks the grim reaper struck down sev eral persons we have known a long time, and learned to respect very much. There was Bob Fowler, county agent for many years, doing many tasks outside his regular duties. We remember him during our term on the county court, directing the planting of shrubs and lawns at the new courthouse. He was always pleasant and quiet during the confusion of that time, and a great help to the court. Diamond Flynn we first met in the depression days when he sold us, on time, a pressure wa ter pump and installed it, being very thorough in his work. In our many meetings since, we found him a charming person to deal with and always ready to help with his community's proj ects. There was the tragic death of Beulah Faber, a member of the Faber family we have known and respected from back in 1909, when the late E. C. Faber, with his uncle, started a store in Cen tral Point. Beulah was always pleasant and kind to everyone, a tireless worker, and a great help to her husband Everett, and his brother, Don, in their business enterprises. Then there was Eddie Carle ton, a resident of our community for some 30 years. During that time he was growing a fruit or chard and taking an active part in community affairs, helping to organize the present Community Club. He was thorough in his work and honest in his dealings, so thorough that some said he was too much so. Time marches on, and one who has spent many years in the same locality is apt to feel a bit lonely, as old time friends and neighbors pass over the great divide.

Three Men Report Snake Killing Here Three men Friday reported what they think may be this area's first rattlesnake killing of the season on Table Rock rd. The trio, Lushwell P. Lander gren. Mountain City, Nev., Jim Fierling, 2422 Reed lane, Med ford, and Gene Cherry, Dixie, Ida., were snake hunting when they spotted the reptile. They dis played the victim's tail, con taining 10 rattles and a "but ton," in the Mail-Tribune office. The snake had been feasting on rabbits shortly before the hunters shot it, they said.

MAIN ' Giving In... To His Ractical Side ! We will tell you, in all honesty, that this gentleman was a little dubious when he first walked into the showroom. - There was no question, to be sure, about his wanting a Cadillac. But, quite frankly, he wondered whether or not he was in a .position to purchase a motor car as wonderful as the 1956 Cadillac. But now he is learning some facts about this distinguished motor car that are removing the doubt from his mind. First of all, he is learning that a Cadillac is relatively modest in its initial cost. He is finding out about Cadillac's extraordinary 'ependability and freedom from repairs. He is discovering the remarkable facts about Cadillac's traditionally wonderful resale value. And, lastly, he is being told that, at this time of the year, his dealer is able to make Cadillac ownership even more practical than usual, i That's why we suspect that having given in long ago to his heart he is now giving in to his practical side. And that's, a combination no man can resist! If you have considered Cadillac the car in your future but have postponed making the move for reasons of economy we urge you to stop in soon. As an experienced Cadillac dealer, we have established a wonderful relationship with fine-car motorists throughout the community. Our repu tation for integrity is positive assurance of your satisfaction as a customer. SKINNER'S GARAGE 143 South Riverside Medford Phone 2-6264
