TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. October 14. 1936 On The Side Ry E. V. Durling (Distributed by Kinf Fftjfvra Svadrcjt. Inc.) Very heavy sea today. Waves are mountain high. They toss the huse ocean liner around quite a bit. This brings to mind that not so many years ago a couple of courageous but ex tremely reckless follows made the trip from New York to Liv erpool in a rowboat! Makes me shudder even to think of a row boat trying to battle those mountainous waves. That must have been a real rugged jour ney. Playing Am not doing so well at table tennis. I took on a Hollander yesterday, a native of Rotter dam. I stepped up too far in class. Didn't win a set. My Dutch opponent had a terrific serve and a bullet-like return. I haven't won the ship's pool yet either. You know, trying to guess the mileage the ship will make in a day. Not only that. I am losing at bingo. But tonight they are going to have the horse racps. As I told vnu, I have a system for that. So I figure I will get my money back and a little bit more. Dancing Tripped a little light fantastic last night. Called for a little ex tra skill. The sea had quite a roll to it. So in addition to keep ing in time with the music you had to keep in time with the ocean roll. That reminds me of a tune titled the Oceana Roll Remember it. Seems I am 1- ways being reminded of songs. Oh. well, is that bad? Anyway. I was doing fine on the dance floor until the band played something called the Rotterdam salute. That called for a speedy type of dance including a lot of turning around. I got so dizzy I had to pull up. I am afraid this injured my reputation as a dancer. I'll get it back tomor row night. I have fixed with the bandmaster to piay some rumba tunes. The. Rings Quite a few smart looking fe males aboard. Mostly blondes. One extremely glamorous blonde wears a wedding ring on the little finger of her left hand. What does that indicate? I prob ably never will master that wed ding ring language. Tulips Note it reported in the daily newspaper issued by the ship that a shipment of 350 tons of tulips from Holland had arrived in Boston. I knew, of course, that tulips are among Holland's principal exports but not that they sold them by the ton. I must get a price on a ton of tu lips. I have a friend who is a tulip enthusiast and I would like to surprise him with a present of a ton of tulips for Christmas. Well, anyway, a half ton. This brings to mind that song of the yesteryear titled "When You Wore a Tulip and I Wore a Red, Red Rose." I forget the words of that romantic ditty. Was it supposed to be sung by a man or woman? That is, who wore that tulip and who wore the rose? Anyway, my favorite tulip song is "Tip Toe Through the Tulips" especially when sung by Nick Lucas. Slacks Have frequently been accused of being against the wearing of slacks by women. It is an unjust accusation. I have always main tained that women with figures like Katharine Hepburn can be appropriately attired in slacks. However, I think generously proportioned females, should avoid wearing them in public Seeing several plump females attired in slacks parading the deck today recalled that immor tal couplet: j Girls with fat backs Shouldn't wear slacks Going Dutch The so-called "Dutch treat" is actually practiced by the na tives of Holland. If a Hollander says "Let's have a drink" it doesn't mean he is going to pick up the check. He pays for his and you pay for yours. Do you know the origin of the saying "He talked to me like a Dutch uncle"? In Holland when a young person is in need of guid ance or a reprimand the unc" handles the situation. The idea is that a father or mother in fluenced by love of the child will not go far enough with the needed reprimand. TABLE ROCK Walter Timm Transferred By R. E. NEALON Table Rock Mr. and Mrs. Walter Timm. residents of Tou Velle park for nearly eight years, will be moving out in the rear future. Timm, superintend ent of TouValle park is being transferred to Collier. ne,ar Chil oquin, in Klamath county, where he will care for both Collier and Kimble state parks. Carl Bennett, assistant at Tou Velle' will be in charge between Mr. Timm's absence and the ar rival of the new superintendent, who identity is not known as yet. Ralph James, of Sams valley. Democratic candidate for coun ty commissioner, was a caller here Tuesday. Among the rea sons he gave as to why he should be elected, were, that the Democratic party of the county should be represented in the court, and also the vast area in the north end of the valley is entitled to a commissioner. James, if elected, would at tempt to get some action on the construction of the juvenile home, wnicn ne sajs is iuus overdue. Abraham Lincoln Halfhill. and his wife. Lois Fowell Half hill, have recently been appoint ed Democratic committeeman and committeewoman for pre circt 73A, by the county Demo cratic central committee. Both are Democrats of long standing Mrs. Halfhill by birth. She is very optimistic about Demo cratic chances this year, and considers it an honor that they have been chosen for this post. Abe says lie has very nine spare time, but will do what he can to see that the Democrats get to the polls on election day. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Kcisingcr and daughter. Rosalyn. of Med- ford, were Sunday visitors in Table Rock. Charles Goodwin and son. Bill, of Medford, were callers here Sunday. They had been hunting on upper Table Rock, saw no deer, but killed two rat tlesnakes, and succeeded, by re tracing their steps over a long distance, in finding a pair of binoculars they had lost. The Jack Emmonds family hi.ve moved from the Ray Baker place to Central Point, and the house they vacated is now occu pied by a family who recently moved here from California. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Tyrell, ac companied by Mrs. Tyrell's sis ter, Mrs. Julia Dow, of the Lake creek area, were callers here one day last week. Several otherwise eligible vot ers in this vicinity failed to reg ister, despite persuasive appeals by newspapers, radio, telephone and personal contact. We personally contacted every one on our list in this community that wasn't regis tered. Some responded immedi ately, some waited till the last day. and a few never made the grade. Among the latter was one man that has never registered, or voted, and one woman, who said she voted once many years ago. but felt she was neglecting something when she went to the polls. Larry Hull has been making personal deliveries of apples to his neighbors, which are beau ties to look at and delicious to taste and reasonable in price. John Nealon has a crew of men digging the potato crop on some leased land on the Rich ardson farm. These spuds are planted each year on new ground, and have a flavor that cannot be excelled, according to his waiting list of customers who come each year for their winter's supply. Mr. and Mrs. Harold White, of the Southern Oregon Experi ment station at Talent were re cent business visitors here. White states that it has been planned for some time to move the station to another location, preferably to the Hanley ranch on the west side, but there is so much red tape to go through that it may be some time yet before the move is made. White says it is a waste of money to continue operating at the same location. At the last meeting of the Sams Valley Grange, the agri culture committee reported that farm products of all kinds in cluding livestock, are at a new low in price and some are not moving at any price. A major part of the Nova Sco tia catch of tuna fish is market ed in the U.S. Lodi, Calif. (U.Ffl Herman Morris bought a shotgun and moved his bed to a front room of his home. Morris, who parks his car under a street light in front of his house, said six com plete sets of hubcaps were stolen from it in less than a year. Sacramento. Calif. U.R 'Mrs. M. A. Cabral was working in J he kitchen of a restaurant when a youth with a handkeS chief over his face walked in, grabbed a tray with 44 deviled egg sandwiches on it, and fled in an automobile.
