Last week's column was one
of those that cause correspond
ents to have nightmares. The
Applegate Home Extension Unit
did not meet at the home of Mrs
Herb Nelson, but at the home
ot Mrs. Lnester hudii. it was
not Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Salt-
marsh who visited Butte Falls,
but Mr. and Mrs. Glenn France.
Mrs. France endeavored to con-
0le this writer by relating a
minor catastrophe that occurred
in a recent issue of her home
town paper, the Sheldon Mail of
Sheldon, Iowa. The paper print
ed the obituary of a man who
had recently passed away, and
above this item, instead of hav
ing a picture of the deceased
man, they had a picture of his
late wife, who had died three
years ago. .
Buddy Childers, who is in the
Seabees in Guam, received his
high school diploma recently.
Childers, who is the son of Mr.
O nd Mrs. C. W. Childers, obtain
Qtd his certificate through tests
taken while he was in Adak,
Alaska.
Mr. a. id Mrs. Joe Farrand
were dinner guests last Tuesday
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
George Redhead.

Recent visitors at the Leon Of
fenbacher residence were Mr.
and Mrs. George Heckley of San
ta Rosa, Calif.
Mrs. Edna Sawyer, who is not
too familiar with gardening, re
cently planted 250 bulbs in her
garden. Speaking of her e.eager
knowledge in gardening, Mrs.
Sawyer commented, "I have to
learn from the ground up!"
O
Mr. and Mrs. Leland Maples-
den of Yreka, Calif., were re-
rent week end guests at the
home of his sister, Mr. and Mrs
O. E. Hukill.
Jet, a black poodle belonging
to Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bird, re-
cently presented the Birds with
a 'art of cream, apricot, and sil
ver colored pups.
Bud Dr, who has been a
surgery patient at the Veteran's
hospital in Portland, recently re
turned home to visit Mr. and
Mrs. Willis Scott and Mr. and
her daughter, Mrs. Ed Learning
of Shady Cove. The shower was
held in the VFW haU t Shady
Cove.
A week fao Glenn Wade shot
a raccoon that weighed 17
pounds dressed. Mrs. Wade said
they barbecused X'lit animal and
feasted on it last Saturday night.
Lynn Valentine is presently
working on a cement patio with
a canopy at the home of Mrs.
Edna Sawyer of Palmer creek.
Mrs. George Redhead derives
the greatest pleasure from wav
ing at her friends who pass by
her home, and over a period of
time has learned to know which
friend is in what car. Recently,
Mrs. Redhead was perplexed
when she saw an unfamiliar, but
attractive new copper-colored
station wagon pass by and honjj
it's horn. At a recent club meet
ing, the puzzle was solved when
she learned that the new car
belonged to her friends, Mr. and
Mrs. Milton Houston.
Sunday supper guests gt the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Joa Far
rand were Mr. nd Mrs. Otis
Buck and Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Davis.
The. Applegate river rose con
siderably during the recent
warm rains. In spite of the de
bris and hith water, the new
low water bridge, which was
built recently near the Curtis
Gerhardt residence, remained in
tact. The bridge, which was de
signed and planned by Leon Of-
fenbacher, had 35 planks, which
hadn't been nailed down as yet,
and they too, stayed in place.
Mr. and Mrs. Mike Loftus re
cently returned froei a motor
trip to Florida and Chicago,
where they visited their daugh
ter.
Rural Reflections: Unusual
wildlife stories still come to us
from the Applegate. Mrs. Wil
liam Travis informs us that she
saw a sea otter in the upper
Applegate river last year. She
watched it jump on a rock and
then go after frogs. Five years
ago, a marten and a wolverine
were sighted in the wee hours
of the morning on Top o' the
Hill. An old-timer informed us
that approximately 15 years ago
the grasshoppers were unbear
able on Top o' the Hill, and at

Just a little over a year ag
the new oridge under eonstuc

ois river near Cava Junction
was partially wrecked by flood
waters.
Last weekend the now com
pleted Bridge held firm as high
waters boiled around its piers
Three disasters set back the
finish date for the bridge which
has been under construction for
wall over a year. Floods in De

wrecked construction sheds and
overturned equipment.
Just as builder Tom Lillebo
and company were getting un
derway again, two sections of
the span collapsed in March in
juring three workers and costing
the Reedsport construction man
nearly $10,000 in material alone.
The bridge, and its sister span
across the west fork of the Illin
ois, are completed, but traffic
over them awaits the realign
ment of the Redwood highway
to eliminate some four miles of
dangerous curves. The state
highway department Is presently
grading and leveling the new
road, which starts just-south of
the west fork bridge and extends
to Cave Junction city limits.
Spans from the two narrow
bridges now in use will be used
in the construction of the Finch
bridge, a replacement for the
old swinging bridge at Kerby,
washed out in the 1955 flood.

Correction of open sewage
conditions within the city limits
was discussed by William D.
Quinn of the state board of
health before the Cave Junction
city council meeting this week.
It has been reported that sew
age draining into an open ditch
along River road has caused un
sanitary conditions, odors and
a possible menace to health.
Quinn, members of the City
Council and Recorder Paul
Glines will make a survey of
the area early in March.
Mayor Carrol Banks directed
the 5-man planning commission
to contact property owners on
the question of widening Main

Relative to the charge that
smoking is among the principal
causes of cancer. The natives of
the West Indies are very heavy
smokers. They smoke on an aver
age of 40 to 50 cigarettes a day.
Many are also chain cigar
smokers. Yet cancer is- a rarity
in the West Indies.
Horses and Women
The hip measurement of the
average housewife is increasing.
The figures of home managers
are bulging in alarming fashion.
They don't look so well when re
treating. Especially when wear
ing slacks. What is the cause of
this regrettable state of affairs?
According to those who have
made a study of the situation, it
is caused by too much sitting
down. They say the average
housewife sits down from seven
to eight hours a day.
Durable Ball
If it is used one night weekly,
how long should a bowling ball
last? A Brookfield, 111., sub

33 years. His father used it for
23 years. He has been using it
for 10.

Red - haired couples usually
have red-haired children. I heard
of a red-haired couple having 14
children, all red-haired. Thirteen
girls and one boy. Imagine the

that family having to live with
14 red-haired women!

It is repeatedly said there is
no money to be made in writing
poetry yet James Whitcomb
Riley received $500 a word for
his poem titled "An Old Sweet
heart of Mine" ... To the list of
songs with unusually long titles
must be added that popular ditty
of the Prohibition Era titled,
"It's the Smart Little Feller Who
Stocked Up His Cellar Who's
Getting All the Beautiful Girls."
Among tho Married
How does your wife address
your mother? Does she call her
"Mother?" I noted with interest
that in a recent case the husband
named as one of his grounds for
divorce that his wife stubbornly
refused to call her mother-in-law
"Mother" but addressed her as
"Mrs."
