f IX MZDrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE TABLE ROCK Precinct Change Planned Table Rock-According to in formation from the county cleric's office, plans are under way to cut down the voting strength of precinct 73A, now containing some 500 voters, by changing boundaries so that the voters now living south of the river will vote some place near Four Corners. Those north of the river, including Beagle, and local voters will vote ' at Sams Valley, which precinct now has about 200. Those from here who attended the auction of the Leverette properties Tuesday were sur prised to see that there were only three interested bidders present, and that property worth more than a million dollars was sold for. $330,000. One fanner present wondered if the tax situation might even tually bring the farm owners to the same pitiful end. Ray mond Reter, the successful bid der, states that there will be no changes made in operations, personnel, or sale of any person al property until the year of redemption is passed. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene F. More- land, and two young daughters, were recent arrivals here from the Naval base at Norfolk, Va where Moreland received his Navy discharge. The Morelands are at present, living in a trailer house on the Table Top ranch, where he is employed. Mrs. KToreland, the former Norma Elder, taught in the Sams Valley schools from 1947 to 1952. Mr. and Mrs. Henry L. Ralph, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse P. Elder, and two boys, Wayne and Lowell, are visiting here for a month from Oxnard, Calif. The recent editorial in the Mail Tribune, about dandelions in the lawn, remMie m t& the time we tried to convince the little woman that the bright yel low blossoms added sparkle to the lawn. We have often wonder ed why the women folks prized so highly the jasmine bush when its yellow color is exactly the same shade of yellow' as the wild turnip blossoms In many of our (rain fields. Gerald Mitchell and young nephew, Don, of the Meadows district were brief callers here Saturday. Cigarette smoking by minors, finally to get attention, reminds us that years ago, about 1912, there was quite a little stir about the passing of the law. Judge TouVelle testified that nearly all delinquent Juveniles brought be fore him -as county judge, were cigarette smokers. Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson "He was the bravest citizen . . . that did most love and best serve his country" ... To" the memory of all those brave citi zens of our historical past, those men who gave up their lives that our heritage of democracy and liberty may survive . . . this tribute and MAY 30th is dedicated; with the eternal hope that their courageous fight for peace was not in vain. Join our nation next Thursday in commemorating their bravery. of Dilley. Ore., were recent call ers at the homes of relatives and friends here and in the valley. Prize winning mother at last Sunday's mother's day program were Mrs. Ann Noy, oldest moth er; Mrs. Allen Hill, youngest; and a tie for those with the most children. There were four moth ers present with the same num ber of children present. Visi tors were missionary Allen Hill and family and Mrs. Noy of Cen tral Point, the misses Shirley McAllister, Gwen Birkland and Connie McDonough of the Sams Valley district. The quiet and peaceful slum bers of Modoc Orchard dwellers, was disturbed about 6 a.m. Sun day by a terrific shotgun blast, which brought to an end their Sunday morning snooze. The noise came from the ex plosion of John Dickey's trusty shot gun which he had leveled at a trapped skunk, and those that didn't hear, later got to smell the effects, John has the task of protecting the high-producing pear trees from damaging marauders, from rattlesnakes to the fleet footed buck deer that sometimes make the mistake of roaming through the orchard during the open season. During his patroling he has taken many animals, includ ing porcupines, rabbits, squir rels, skunks, and fowls such as crows and woodpeckers. We received a letter from a Medford lady who had read our item about mosquito control. The letter had enclosed written opin ions from many sources teUing of the danger to the health ' of humans and animals from the use of DDT. Anyone reading these opinions is sure to feel skeptical about using such poi sons despite the fact that our optimist friend, Charley Hoover, says he eats the stuff. However, he also claims the ,dust will kill rattlesnakes. From our ex perience with rattlers, we found them pretty hard to kill. Char-i ley tells us that our mosquito j item, affected him so much that he immediately went out and drained his swamp. Owing to weather, conditions, the picnic dinner for the Union Sunday schools that was to be held last Sunday at TouVelle park, was held here at the local school building. Later, the members from the various Sun day schools gathered at the For est Acres church for their Bible letic tournament. Iri the memory verse contest, number of members present, miles traveled, and other con tests, it was a clean sweep for the Meadows Sunday school, one Sunday, May 26. 1957 Dr. Greenshields Takes Yreka Post Yreka Dr. M. J. Greenshields, dean of administration at Clark college, Vancouver, Wash., has been named administrator for Siskiyou Junior college. His selection was made by the newly elected college board Wednesday night. Dr. Greenshields indicated an adult education program will be started on a small scale, utilizing existing "high school classrooms before completion of the junior college plant. Tenative date for completion of the junior col lege will be fall, 1959. He also indicated a combina tion plan of local housing and bus. transportation will be used to accommodate students from outlying areas. Greenshields complimented the administra tion board for its decision to seek "impartial advice" on se lection of a site for the junior college plant. of the latest organized in the district. Some 40 relatives and friends gathered at the Jess Elder home last Sunday to celebrate the 86th birthday of his father, Gilbert S. Elder. Several from here attended the Alias Vinson funeral in Med ford Wednesday. Mr. Vinson was a brother of Mrs. ,' Stanley Vaughn, and was a frequent visi tor here at the Vaughn home. During recent visit at 'the Steve Wilson home, we were shown his huge new shop, 130 by 70 feet, now under' construc tion. The shop will have a unit deck roof, oval type, with no rafters . or joists, requiring 37, 000 feet of lumber. This shop, one of the largest in the valley, will handle 4 big logging trucks, side by side, at one time. The steam heating system will contain- hot water pipes built into the floor. Steve says the price of lumber is good enough, but the high price of stumpage, la bor, equipment and material needed to get it out and proc essed, is the profit-eating factor. Several from here attended a shower for Mrs. Robert Dunn at the home of Mrs. Richard Krupp in Central Point, Monday eve ning. Mr. and Mrs. C. Andersen, of San Rafael, Calif., were callers here Thursday. They said that Mrs. R. Easom, the former Kate Hansen had passed away, which leaves no living members of the Fred Hansen family.

For many, the magnificent scenery is the main attraction. In Death Valley, the awesome display of constantly changing desert, colors by morning, noon and evening, together with the valley's frightening desolation. In Banff Park, Alta., the gran deur of the Rockies reflected in Lake Louise, doubling the beau ty. In Crater Lake, the unsur passed brilliant blueness "of the water lying 2,000 feet below the viewer. In Carlsbad what may be the world's largest connected under ground caverns with 60,000,000 bats flying in and out during the warm summer evenings and mornings. ' . . ; ' In Olympic, the monumental glacier carved valleys with a magnificent stand of conifers the finest remaining in the north west. In Bryce and Zion the fan tastically carved pinnacles in colors so bright you can identify them by moonlight. In Yosemite, the spectacular waterfalls es pecially in early summer. For others, there is the thrill to meet wild animals in their native habitat. For a -few, the lure to a park will be to behold : superlatives of the American ' continent: the highest mountain i Mt. . McKinley; the wettest I area - the rainforest , of the Olympics. Solitude With Wild Life Or if the visitor seeks solitude amid splendor, a few minutes off j the beaten trail will do if!
