TABLE ROCK
lightning Strikes Tree
BY R. E. NEALON
Table Rock The "Wednes-j
8(6' evening thunder storm,
accompanied by high winds,
flashes lightning, and a
Awn pour of rain, struck here
ith violence and almost did
much more than property
dmage.
Herschel Harper, one of our
ood citizens, came near to
ting in the striking place of
bolt of lightning that hit a
large tree near his residence.
He had only a few seconds
before walked not more than
four feet from the tree which
was badly barked, and the
soil torn from the roots.
While Wednesday's storm
did considerable damage to
crops, transformers, electrical
equipment, and telephones,
the storm of the following
evening did even more, knock
ing out several transformers
and blowing out switch boxes
and lights in some homes,
leaving the occupants in dark,
ness, without water or tele
phone. Among other targets for the
lightning was a large tree
near the river which was
struck near the top, and a
strip eight inches wide, and
about six inches in depth, was
neatly taken out to the
ground. Some apples and oth
er fruit was blown off the
trees, but according to re
ports, no appreciable damage
was done to pears.
Ernest and Lois Smith have
joined the small car owners.
?hey are now driving a new
Yolkswagon.
t'he Donald Richardson
youngsters, Diane, Dennis and
Dera, arrived from Portland
fcy plane last Sunday and
were quickly whisked out to
"Gramp's" farm, where they
have taken over.
J. S. Richardson and some of
his relatives are enjoying his
delicious sweet corn. Richard
rjpon generally manages to have
the first local sweet corn of
the season, and to have some
on hand when his corn-eating
grandchildren come to spend
their summer vacation.
some six or seven feet long,
swimming in the pond with
only the top of its head above
water, and a long wake fol
lowing, like a boat would
make.
Several days later we saw
i object traveling in the
pond on the Kealon place, a
dark object resembling a
clinched fist, only much larg
er, with the knuckles up and
a long break of water follow
ing. We were in plain sight,
probably 150 feet away, but it
paid no attention to us, didn't
dive like a beaver or water
animal would, or attempt to
fly, like a water fowl, but
kept on its course, going into
the brush on the opposite
bank. If this was not an alli
gator, we who saw the crea
ture, would like to know what
it was.
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Boren
and two children left last
Tuesday for their home in
Wapato, Wash., after visiting
several days with Mrs. Bow-
en's sister at the Bert Pierce
home.

A baby shower for Mrs.
Charles Adams was given at
the S. W. Pleasant home July
17, by Mrs. S. W. Pleasant,
and Mrs. Edgar Pleasant.
As an invited guest at a
meeting of retired teachers,
held recently at the Jack
Tyrell picnic grounds near the
Tyrell home on Butte creek,
we had a most enjoyable time
conversing with these good
folks who have done so much
for so little, in shaping the
destiny of our country. These
teachers of the past, must
have "practiced what they
preached," for among the
many present there was no
cigarette smoking, which
caused us to remember that
some 50 years ago the harmful
effects of nicotine and alcohol
on the human body was
stressed. We tried to get an
idea of the salary received
when these teachers began
teaching, and at their retire
ment. The earliest beginning
among those present was in
iui, wnose salary was
$33 13 a month at Antelope,
Oregon, and at retirement in
1953, this teacher was getting
an annual salary of $3,750. ,
Those beginning in other
states at that time were get
ting a somewhat larger sal
ary. These salaries were very
good compared to what the
late William Gore told us
about his school teaching in
the late 80's. He told about,
teaching our local school for
$50 a term, consisting of three
months. He "boarded around"
and rode a horse from his
home near Medford. One Mon
day morning he was fording
the river, as it cost 25 cents
to come by ferry, when out
about the middle, a school of
