Try and Stop Me
-By BENNETT CERF-
A SWEET YOUNG THING toyed with the notion of signing
up for a shorthand course. "When we get finished with
you," promised the enrollment clerk, "you'll be accurate, de
pendable, and neat.'' "What
about jpeed?" persisted the
applicant. "Our "last nine
graduates," said the enroll
ment clerk calmly, "married
their bosses inside of five
months."
"How come a beautiful
young girl like you wai fired
by that old wolf at the Third
rational?" the applicant for
a. Job was asked. She ex
plained demurely. 1t was be
cause of a mistake I wouldn't
make."
Love in the second grade: Wrote Judy to the lad in front of her,
1 love you. Do you love me?" The lad replied, "I do." "That's
exactly what I didn't want to aay," he explained to his dad that
evening, "but I can't apell 'don't.' "

their home on Rogue river to

' Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins have
: one son and two daughters,

known, has owned the proper-
ty over a long period of years,
; being in an ideal spot for fish
ing. Many distinguished people
have been entertained here,
including Herbert Hoover, an
all-night visitor at one time.
Many friends will testify as
to Bill being a good neighbor,
taking an interest in commun
ity affairs, and willingly serv
ing difficult shifts on the local
observation post during the
war. !
We first met Bill in 1906,
we were working as a team
ster for Dr. Ray, during the
building of the Gold Ray dam.
We had,' received our first
monthly check which amount
ed to $30. We took a day off
and boarded the friendly S.P.
for a trip to Medf ord. Bill was
then operating a clothing
store, and on the train trip
we noticed his clever display
ads painted on the board fenc
es "Our underwear won't
itch, but the price will tickle
you."
Getting off the train we
. walked up Main street to the
store which he called the
"Toggery. After introducing
himself as "Toggery Bill", he
asked our first name, and we
told him it was Robert. Ever
since then, we have been Bob
to him and he, Bill, to us.
He proceeded to fit us from
head to toe, among the items
being an all wool suit, a pair
of patent leather shoes, a der
by hat, celluloid collar, a "cali
co" vest, which he threw in,
and a suit of "itchless" under
wear. We still had enough
money to buy a ticket back,
which we believe was 25
cents.

The recent rain and wind

beginning to get dry enough
to plow, when Saturday's
downpour struck. 1

pretty well "hopped" up over
our good neighbor policy of
exchanging produce.

Saturday were Mr. and Mrs.

Dale Schultz left Wednesday
by air for Ft. Riley, Kans. to
resume his military training,
after a two weeks leave which
he spent with home folks.
The first political candidate
to show up here was Scott
Hamilton, Democrat running
for county judge in the pri
maries. He promises, if elect
ed, to make a two party sys
tem as to appointments on
committees, boards, and such
places, where both parties are
entitled to representation, and
to cut down on trips made at
taxpayers expense.
Copco Sponsors Ad
In New York Times
The New York Times of
Sunday, April 6, will carry
a full page sponsored by The
California Oregon Power com
pany, advertising tourist and
recreational facilities in south
ern Oregon.
The page will appear in a
special Oregon section, de
voted to the state's industrial,
agricultural, and recreational
resources. '
Copco officials said (hat the
company sponsored the adver
tisement as a part of its con
tinuing program to encourage
development of its service
area and the expansion of its
tourist industry. Included are
seven pictures from various
parts of southern Oregon and
a description of its varied and
different tourist attractions.
The Sunday Times has a
circulation of more than
1,250,000, and company offi
cials are hopeful that the ad
vertisement will attract visi
tors from many parts of the
countrv this summer. Readers
are invited to write to Cham
bers of Commerce in various
southern Oreeon towns for
further information on the
area.
The Central Point Camp of
Royal Neighbors held their
regular monthly meeting,
Tuesday, April 1, at the home
of Mrs. R. E. Nealon.
Last Saturday, when our
Saturday boy came to work,
he discovered a prized steer
was badly bloated, so we call
ed the vet, who promised to
come as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile the steer was get
ing worse, every minute. Our
boy said be believed he could
get a short length of cross
wise broom handle in the
steers mouth which would
cure him, which he did and
presto, out shot the gas.
Then our helper proceeded
to tell us what caused the gas
to form and prevented it from
escaping. We asked him where
he learned this, and he said,
Crater High. Then we asked
him if he learned the broom
handle deal there too, but he
said no, he learned that on
the farm back in Oklahoma.
We thought it was good to
know the cause and effects,
but much better to know what
to do, and when.
An appropriate Easter pro
gram "of songs and readings,
will be presented by the local
Sunday school at next Sun
day's regular Sunday school
time. Everyone is invited to
attend.

Scene Where Christ Wept and Prayed Unchanged by Time
Jerusalem HP) Time
steps back 2,000 years in the
tiny olive grove of ' Gethse
mane where Jesus Christ
came to weep and pray the
night before he died.
Of all the sacred spots in
the Holy Land, the little gar
den is least scarred by time
and change.
Inside the garden, the same
olive trees that looked on
Christ's hour of agony squit
gnarled and fat in the warm
spring sun.
Tree in Corner
The tree under which
Christ is supposed to have
prayed sits in the southwest
ern corner of the almost sym
metrical eight-tree garden.
Its twisting and flaking
brown trunk measures almost
15 feet, around, but it stands
only slightly higher than a
man's head.
Paths of sun-bleached white
pebbles installed by the
Franciscans who care for the
garden criss-cross its scrubby
coat grass.
Along their borders, yellow
and purple pansies and orange
marigolds also set out by the
Franciscans grow.
The garden looks across the
Valley of the Cedron to
Mount Zion in Israeli terri
tory where Christ ate his last
supper.
Tombs Visible
Little has changed in that
landscape since Christ's time.
To the right are the sun
whitened tombs of the Proph
ets Absalom and Zaccharia.
Across the valley on the
stone littered hill climbing up
to the walls of the old city of
Jerusalem are the graves of
hundreds of ancient Jews.
They are buried there in
keeping with a Biblical tradi
tion that said the Valley of
the Cedron would be the site
of the last judgment.
Except during the heavy
tourist seasons of Christmas
and Easter, few pilgrims
come and go through the lit
tle garden.
ASK EXPLOSIVES CURB
Panacea, Fla. (IP) The
Panacea Boosters club asked
the U.S. Department of the
Interior Wednesday to "curb
the use of explosives by firms
exploring for oil in the Gulf
of Mexico. The club said many
fish are being killed by the
blasts.
It its almost deserted, save i dener or an occasional Fran.
for a barefooted Arab gar- ciscan.
