Good little elves or fairies
have been secretly working on
Top o' the Hill during our vari
ous absences of the past year.
Last year's fairy, Mrs. Edna
Jones, of Medford, took down
three lines of dry wash, prior
to a cloud burst, and it took
several months to find her out.
Last Sunday night we came
home from a trip to Squaw lake
and found our new wood supply
neatly stacked on the side of
our woodshed. We wish to thank
this anonymous fairy for its
labors.

pole.
Applegate canners have been
in the throes of preserving
everything edible under the sun.
One canner, Mrs. Otis Buck suf
fered from insomnia trying to
decipher the word, "aubergine",
an ingredient required in a
French recipe found in an Eng
lish magazine.
After considerable searching
in dictionaries, encyclopedias
and cook books, she finally
found her answer in her French
dictionary. Aubergine is a "mad
apple", alias "egg apple", alias
"egg plant". Mrs. Buck has been
using aubergines for years and
didn't know it!

Gromyko Never Told
Truth, Truman Says
Kansas City, Mo. (IP) Former
President Truman commenting
on the Soviet Union's latest pro
posals in the United Nations,
said Friday that Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko
"never told the truth in his life
when a lie would do just as
well."
"I've told that to Gromyko
himself, so I'm not speaking out
of line," Truman told a luncheon
meeting of realtors. "You can't
trust the Communists across the
street. They'll look you in the
eye and lie to you and hope
you believe their treachery."
Truman, speaking on the Con
stitution, said that failures to
uphold human rights in the
United States are almost as dan
gerous as the Communist threat.
Although he did not mention
Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus by
name he said "there are some
in the United States right now
who are trying to undermine
the Constitution."
