o TABLE ROCK Family Get-Together Held Br R. E. NEALON Table Rock Some 60 per sons, mostly relatives in some form or another of the Houston Rodgers tribe, attended the an nual get-together held last Sun day in beautiful TouVelle park, to honor the birthday anniver sary of Mrs. Emma Houston. After partaking of a home cooked dinner spread on tables under shade trees, visiting and reminiscing was indulged in for most of the afternoon, during which time the 87-year-old hon- oree received many presents and congratulations. j Relatives coming from the ' greatest distance were Mrs. I Houston's daughter, Mrs. Homer Edgecomb and family of Susan-1 ville, Calif. Just a short dis tance away, the Jackson county Democrats were holding their annual picnic and some of the overflow of the Houston-Rodgers picnic got mixed with the Democrats and were hard to tell apart as they all seemed politi cally to speak the v same language. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Richardson motored to Portland Friday, where they will spend the weekend. The Sams Valley grange held their July meeting Saturday evening under the oak trees on the spacious lawn at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elwood Abbott. A potluck dinner was followed by the business meeting, and the obligation of four new members by the master, Albert Straus. Among the business transacted, was the discussion of the grange referendum to refer the school reorganization bill passed by the last legislature to the people for their approval or disapproval at the next elec tion. Nearly all present signed the petition, and it was recom mended that all people interest ed in the future control of our schools should help get this on the ballot so it could be freely discussed and all the voters get a chance to express their de sires at the polls. The Goodlin bees are being moved from the Nelson farm to a new location on the J. L. Neal on farm. The moving operation is being done by the McDonald boys during the night time when the little honey makers are sup posed to be asleep, however some of the moving crew report receiving . some wide awake stings. Sam Glass, the ex-marine is taking no part in the maneu vers as he and the Goodlin bees are not on speaking terms. Another dusting of mosquitoes by aeroplane was carried out here on day last week, but over a smaller acreage, the ground being checked first to find the most likely breeding places. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Dun ham and two children, Dan and Joyce, visited the Delmar Dool eys last Sunday at the Arthur Doty horfe. Dan was a former student of Dooley, and last year finished his term as president of the National Future Farmers of America. Mrs. Dunham was Oregon mother of the year in 1956.

The teachers in charge were the Rev. Allen Hill and wife of Central Point and Miss Linda Doran, a member of the local Sunday school. The J. L. Pullman family of Medford have moved into the Ray Baker house recently va cated by the L. B. Plummer family who are now living in Portland. Pullman is an employee of the State Welfare commission. There are five children in the family, three of school age. , Mrs. Arthur Doty is a patient of the Osteopathic hospital fol lowing major surgery last Sunday. The harvesting of pears is going ahead in the local or chards and viewing them from road, we would say there is a heavy crop of top quality pears. Help is said to be plentiful, with many would-be picker applying for work having to be turned away. We are frequently asked by farmers not in the grange, why the grange doesn't do some thing about the local power rates, which they claim are much higher than the rates charged by the same company in the Willamette valley. They claim it makes it hard to com pete with producers up-state, who already have the advantage of closer and bigger markets.
