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.

and friends here and in the

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.

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

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. The Han
sens were one time residents
here, living in the house now
occupied by the Elmo Stallings.

More than 65,000,000 people
and sightseers from more than
a 100 foreign lands are planning
to visit at least one of the nation
al monuments or parks in the
U. S. and Canada. -
If former records held, Hoov-.
er Dam's Lake Mead will have
right around 2,750,000 visitors,
just ahead of the Great Smokies,
with more than 2,500,000.
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.
