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

Democrats and were hard to tell
apart as they all seemed politi
cally to speak the v same language.

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

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

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.

Machinists May
Face Court Action
Seattle" (W The Interna
tional Association of Machinists
may face court action if its Se
attle members go on strike next
Thursday against six Seattle

A spokesman for the ship
yards said Friday they will sue
the IAM for any damages re
sulting from the strike.
Members of Hope Lodge 79
set the strike deadline in a dis
pute over two cents an hour to
provide two additional paid hol
idays. The lodge has 500 mem
bers employed in Seattle ship
yards. The machinists have been
granted a 15-cent hourly wage
increase plus five cents an hour
for five holidays under a nation
al agreement. The two addition
al paid holidays are a new re
quest. Machinist officials said they
would suggest that nine other
locals on the Pacific Coast also
strike Thursday unless the em
ployers authorize the two cents.
