SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE TABLE ROCK Richardson Family Arrives By R. E. NEALON Table Rock Donald Richard son and wife, Doreen, with daughter Diane, arrived July 29 from Portland to join Dennis and Debbie, the two younger mem bers of the family who have been spending some three weeks with "Gramps" and Grandma at the J. S. Richardson home. The Richardsons spend their yearly summer vacation here at the home of Don's parents, from where they take trips to the mountains arid fish in their favor ite creeks for trout. They at tend the Shakespearean festival and visit with friends and rela tives. They brought along Raleigh Smoky's Silver Sonja, a pedigreed young elk hound dog, a daughter of Smoky, but which looks more like a dog and not so much like a registered berkshire pig. ' Most of the local grain is being harvested without sacks this year, or what is called in bulk, most of it going to feed stores and warehouses in trucks made for that purpose. This method does away with considerable back strain and saves a "right smart" sum of money usually paid out for sacks. ' The mosquito situation was discussed here at some length at a meeting held Thursday night at the school house, attended by some 15 mosquito-bitten persons and Walter Suthcrlin. operator of the fogging apparatus, and Shy Morthland of the county court. There was some difference of opinion as to the best method of control, the visitors claiming that the fogging machine that patrols the highways at night had been found after much investigation to be the most practical and thorough. This was doubted by several local residents who claim ed that examination of their lawns only a few feet from the highway the day following the fogging operations revealed thou sands of hungry, frisky, ferocious mosquitoes. Many local people were In favor of spraying by airplane, which they claim cleaned up the insects and the hatching beds several years agt, but this meth od was not approved, so not much help along this line could be expected from the county. It was stated by Commissioner Morthland that Lane county uses the fogging method, but has $4,800 budgeted each year for mosquito control. The meeting concluded with most of those present feeling that each family should try and look after their own premises and get what help they could from the county in locating and treating Notice Shoe Repair Shops To Close Mondays The following Medford Shoe Repairmen wish to announce that hereafter their shops will be closed on Mondays: Bailey's Shoe Repair 110 East Main Carothers Shoe Service 125 East Sixth eleven's Shoe Repair 15 North Fir Henderson's Shoe Service 19 North Bartlett Nigl's Shoe Service 326 West Sixth Stan's Shoe Repair...... 137 North Central Steve & Mitch Boot Shop 104 West Sixth Neuv- customer service for 4 001 nan 7tt mm the breeding areas.

A field of barley on the Sage farm, put in by Ed Robinson, yielded 104 bushels of barley by weight, and was threshed by the McDonough-Peffley combine, pi loted by Richard Morris.
