fix-up
As soon as spring comes to the Rogue Valley, most fam
ilies like to set about sprucing up their homes. Sometimes it's
just a matter of cleaning house and making any needed re
pairs. But often spring fix-up time includes new paint inside
and out, refinishing floors, remodeling and alterations or
perhaps the addition of a new room.

TABLE ROCK
Community Club Meeting
By R- E. 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,

Mr. and Mrs. Victor Joseph,

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.

December flood have been re
