NEALON Table Rock Some 60 per sons including visitors from oth er districts attended the meeting of the Table Rock Community club April 27. After the business meeting, a program was given and was well received by an ap plauding audience. A bouncing, jerking bus, go ing over rough roads, with driv er and passengers, was a skit put on by the "Edsulvanians," fea turing Shad Smith and his shag gy four. There also were a barber shop quartet by the four dead beats, a cowboy solo, by Sut Calup Smith, a movie shadow skit, by Stella Dallas and her dingy mob, a Chinese solo, by Fooie Yon Yoo, and a piano monologue by Mi Mi Schulz. David Doran acted as master of ceremonies and between num bers called on several celebrities in the audience to stand and take a bow, much to their embarrass ment. He also sang for Fooie Yon Yoo, who owing to other commit ments, was unable to be present, and did so well with his make-up and singing, that many thought it was the Chinese boy. The recent rains, besides doing much good here, came as a sur prise to many. Neighbor Robin son, who was busy irrigating his barley field, had just told us that the months of April, May and June would be without any rain, as he had read this forecast in two farm magazines. They say lightning never strik es twice in the same place, but a Table Rock lady was hit twice by a radio quiz jackpot in a few weeks' time. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Richardson, returned Monday from a week end visit in Portland bringing with them granddaughter Debra Mae, who will visit for a few weeks with them and the many cousins hereabouts. Bert Peck, an employee of the state game commission, sent us a block of old sulphur matches, which he found in eastern Ore gon. These were the only kind in use back about the turn of the century, when we first began lighting cigarettes. The matches can be used as a deodorant, sort of an air wick. Ray Wyatt gave us the match es, and would like us to find an old-time button hook, which he needs to fasten his collar button. A Table Rock lady, who has been having a bad time for sev eral months with what the doc tor called an allergy which af fected her like poison oak, dis covered that her trouble was caused by the material in a love ly dress which she would almost rsther have poison oak than dis card, but finally did. Skunks are back in the news again. Walter Timm, caretaker of Tou-Velle park, tells us that the skunk chasing parties, the Beagle lady referred to, was def initely not the party from Okla homa that told him of the deli cious tasie of skunk meat. Several local people of both political parties were in the crowd of listeners at the court house Monday, when Adlai Stev enson spoke from the steps. The large crowd made us think of the marches on the court house in depression days, when we were commissioner and about to be hanged. The people this time were in a happier mood. Members of the local Sunday school are pleased to welcome back a past member, Mrs. Lloyd Vanderpool, a previous resident here, now of Central Point, who with her young son expects to attend regularly. New arrivals in the commun ity are Mr. and Mrs, Jack Em mons and young son, of Fortuna, Calif., who are living in the NOTHING HERE FOR SURE .

Mr. and Mrs. Victor Joseph, of New York City, were recent visitors at the Modoc Orchards, the property of his brother George of Yakima, Wash. The Darlings, Bill and Mary, are installing a 750-gallon refrig erator tank in their Grade A dairy, which will be used to store milk to be picked up by the milk truck. Milk from the cows will go direct to this tank and be pumped from this to the sealed dlijery truck, not being touched by human hands. Those from here who attended the meeting for candidates spon sored by the Sams Valley Grange report a very interesting time. Wes McDonough, master of ceremonies, announced that each candidate would be given five minutes to build himself up, and the timekeeper, with a large cow bell, was stone deaf, so would have to go by the clock alone. This resulted in some speakers being "clanged" down in the middle of a two syllable word. Refreshments were served la ter, and all hopefuls seemed to be in a happy mood, despite the fact that some friction develop ed during the meeting between candidates, and some embarrass ment developed during the ques tion period. We had the privilege of at tending the recent Roosevelt Me morial dinner in Medford, where we saw a large crowd of both Democrats and Republicans. Af ter dinner, Mrs. Roosevelt spoke for more than an hour, covering the period from 1933 to the pres ent time, concluding with a pray er, which seemed to come from the heart. In a close-up view, the lines on her face show that during these turbulent years she has gone through trials and tribula tions, but other lines on the sen sitive face show a sense of hu mor, hope and genuine feeling for all peoples. In the long line of persons de siring to shake her hand were two well-dressed Negroes, who seemed to be delighted to have this opportunity, and she seem ed just as pleased. Mrs. Roosevelt ha? frequently been called First Lady of the World, and one that has met her and heard her talk will conclude that this is not overdone, The next meeting of the local Ladies club will be held Wednes day, May 9, at the home of Mrs. Orville Hamilton, with Mrs. Bert Pierce assisting. Agency Here Opens Bremerton Branch The Forest Green Detective agency has opened a branch of fice in Bremerton, Wash., Ray Koch, chief of the agency, has announced. .
