TABLE ROCK Air Force Man Visits By H. E. NEALON Table Rock Jimmy Halfhill of the U.S. Air Force was home for a few days last week, coming from the training camp at Elgin Fla. From here he went to Phoe nix, Ariz., where he will spend three weeks in observing the making of a new type of air plane. He and one other boy were selected from the many in the camp for this special work. Mrs. Clyde Halfhill and young on, accompanied by Mrs. Edna Campbell, Mrs. Halfhill's moth er, moved the first of the week to Medford. They had been liv ing in one of the houses on the Table Top ranch. According to word from Clyde Halfhill, he will finish his school ing in. the Air Force next July, and will then be assigned to per manent quarters, where he will be joined by his wife and son A new club formed recently In the community, a sort of a Ladies club auxiliary. It has some ten members, young misses from - the first to the eighth grades, who meet the same day as the Ladies club, which is the second Wednesday of each month. The meeting place is at the home of Glenna May Brown, who is president. The dues are a penny each, to be paid every meeting date. The present wet weather gives one some idea of how accurate are the long range weather fore casts given by farm magazines published in the east, which called for three months of dry weather, commencing in April. Jack Cline, salesman for Cra ter Lake motors, was a local bus iness visitor here Tuesday. John Walsh, of Lake Creek district, was a business visitor here the first of the week. The cottage on the east side of the creek, on the former Goodlin farm, is being remodeled and enlarged, and will be occu pied when finished by the Bill Meeks family, now living in Medford. The family has two children, a girl, 2, and a 7-year-old boy attending, school. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dunn and on, Jerry, left Thursday morn ing by car for San Francisco to visit relatives and friends there. The last meeting of the Table Rock Ladies club held Wednes day at the home of Mrs. Orville Hamilton turned out to be a sort of homecoming, with some 22 ladies present, some coming from quite a distance. Several of the small fry were present, and a number of babes in arms. Paul Molloy, the pipe-smoking office-manager of the Grange Coop., asked us about news, and 4hen proceeded to tell us more than we knew. He said he came here in 1937,' after checking weather charts for all coast states and finding this locality had an ideal precipitation record. During the month of May that year, he said it rained almost continuously, which caused him to leave for dryer parts, but in later years he checksd with the weather bureau, and found that the month of May of that year was the wettest since the estab lishing of the weather bureau We recently read "Everybody' Doing It" in the March issue of the Farm Journal, and found that support prices paid the farmers are a mere drop in the bucket compared to the billions handed out by Uncle Sam to others. Per sonally we have never been keen about farm subsidies, but we re member something the farmers got that wasn't a subsidy. Back in World War I, when the world was critically short of wheat and the American farmers could have had the world by the tail with a down pull, the govern ment clamped a ceiling on wheat, which broke many farm ers who had gone all out answer ing the nation s call for wheat Mrs. J. S. Richardson and granddaughter, Debra May, left Friday morning by plane for Portland, where Debra will re turn to her home, after a two weeks visit here with her grand parents. Mrs. Richardson expects to return Sunday. Among recent Table Rock vis itors were Mr. and Mrs. George Turner of Ashland, Mr. and Mrs, E. P. Leavitt of Old Stage rd., the Robert Sage family of Med ford, Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Wilson of Central Point, John Payne of Payne's Gulch, the Ralph Reis- inger family of Medford, and the Cary Taber and Milo Hardin families of Medford. Mrs. James Lewis and daugh ter, Jan, of Forest Grove are spending this week visiting with home folks at the Orville Ham ilton home. Mrs. Ray Bosworth returned Thursday from Lee Summit, Mo., where she attended the spring term at Unity Headquarters school for teachers. The next meeting of the Table Rock Community club will be held at TouVelle Park Friday, May 25, with a potluck dinner at 6:30 p.m. Matthews Transferred To Penitentiary Deputy Sheriff Joseph Walsh Saturday escorted Orval J. Mat thews, 36, Deming, N.M., to the state penitentiary where Mat thews will begin a 10-year sen tence for uttering and publish ing a forged instrument. He was found guilty of the charge by a unanimous jury ver dict in circuit court on May 4. The case was heard by Judge Charles Foster, Lakeview. Carl Brophy, of McAllister, Duncan and Brophy law firm in Med ford, was Matthews' attorney.
