IX KEBfOKO (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, June i. 1ISI TABLE ROCK Vacation Bible School Set By JL E. NEALON Table Rock Daily Vacational Bible school is scheduled to start here Monday morning, June 4, with Mr. and Mrs. Allen ' Hill of Central Point and Mrs. Dale Schulz of Sams Valley as teachers. The sessions will be held in the scholhouse, commencing at 9 a.m. and running to 11:30 five days of the week. Some 26 chil dren, including several from Sams Valley, are expected to at tend. Harvesting the first cutting of alfalfa has started here, but is progressing rather slowly owing to cloudy weather and heavy nightly dew which retards dry ing operations. Some 50 acres of corn, have been planted on tha. Table Top farms, the young plants now showing up in rows and about ready for the cultivators. The corn from these fields, stalk and all. will be made into silage and stored in the silos on the farm and used wiAi the usual crop of hay to feed the ranch herd of 300'cattle. Paul Schulz. the Sams Valley farmer, a business visitor here the first of the week, says he has completed the cultivation of his corn with a new cultivator gad get for his tractor. Says he got off of center now and then and plowed up a few plants, which should please Secretary Benson, as there is already a corn sur plus. The Mother"s day prizes given out by the local Sunday school went to Mrs. Milford Vanderpool as the oldest mother present, Mrs. Donald Wheeler took the prize awarded to the youngest mother. Mrs. William Bishop with her five youngsters present was the winner of the prize for the mother with the largest num ber of children, and Mrs. Lloyd Vanderpool won for being the mother with the youngest child present. Leroy Calkins finished ditch cleaning operations here last week, after doing considerable work for the ditch company on the main irrigation canal and other work on dram ditches for individual farmers. About 40 members of the Ta ble Rock Community club were present Friday evening at the potluck dinner in TouVelle park, which was the last meeting of the season for the club. Every one had an enjoyable time, de spite the fact that the mosquitos were a little more alert than usual. Mr. Bill Bishop is selling some of her household goods, furni ture and furnishings .also poul try, livestock, farm tools and miscellaneous items, prior to leaving about June 15 for their new home in Kansas City, Kan. Many parents and other local people attended the eighth grade graduation ceremonies at Central Point Tuesday night, where eight local students were among the class. Richard Morris is the lone high school graduate from the Table Rack district this year. Wednesday was sheep shearing day for the Table Rock farm herds. They were rounded up between showers and threaten ing thunderstorms. Among those having their wooly 48 cent coats removed were Abigail, the Doty bummer sheep, and Jennie, the Bishop bummer, the mother of Booker T, and Lucy. Don Grissom. the obliging Lake Creek fleecer, did the trimming, the same bashful bach elor that not so long ago we were trying to find a wife mate for. This time he had in his car a bassinet with some jingling doo dads strung across the top. and he tells us he has a wife at home and something to go in the bass inet that keeps him awake at night, but so far hasn't had to walk the floor with. At the primary election May 18 at the schoolhouse some 250 voters managed to get to the polls, which was a few over half the registered voters in the precinct. Bob Kuril's "Purely Preferen tial" candidates seemed to fare pretty well, with Phil Hitchcock leading McKay. Elmo Smith winning for governor, Mark Hat field for secretary of state, and Walt Nunley nosing out Rode for district attorney. On the Democratic ballot, Wayne Morse got 111 votes to his opponent's IS, four write-ins for senator on the Republican ballot, and four write-ins on the Democratic ballot for vice pres ident. But strange as it may seem, Robert Holmes was- badly beaten by Lew Wallace, who had withdrawn from the race sev eral weeks before the election. Friday evening, after the polls were closed we asked people we happened to .meet if they had voted. The first lady we asked said she and her husband hadn't voted for eight years. Altogether, we asked some 12 persons, people that we sus pected had failed to exercise their righ of suffrage. Our sus picions proved correct, as not one of those we questioned had voted at the election, and the time since they had voted ran from two years to never. Most of them were not registered, some had never been. The rea sons for not voting were varied, running from not being inter ested to changing locations, too much trouble and not being al lowed to vote. One lady claiming that she voted two years ago in the Wil low Springs precinct, but when she asked for a ballot there, found her name was not on the poll book, the mistake presum ably being made in the county cierk's office. Of those qestioned. ten would have voted Democratic, and two said they would like to have voted on both ballots. The Ray Doran family spent last Sunday visiting with rela tives near Crescent City, Calif. Mrs. W. M. Howsley left by motor car last week for points in Missouri to spend several weeks visiting relatives.

According to a news release in a recent issue of the Central Point American, two citizens of our local community appeared before a meeting of the school board of District 6 and protested the turning over to the Table Rock Sunday school the now vacant schol building. In check ing with the school board we found that the opposition im plied that the school board might be turning over the property to an irresponsible group that would let the building go to rack with no funds to repair it, and perhaps disband, letting the property fall into other hands that might not operate it for the good of the community. As to being responsible, we don't know of any other group that would be more morally fit or dependable to handle a deal like this and keep it on a re spectable basis than a Sunday school. As to disbanding, we have been around here for a number of years and have seen organiza tions of many kinds come and go, but since we can remember this community has always maintained a Sunday school where all were welcome, irres pective of race, creed, or church affiliation.
