Is That So?
ANGORA GOAT SOUGHT
Baghdad Via MEA
Refrigeration is no problem
for Kurds, Bedouins and other
nomadic tribes of the Middle
East. The reason is that the
time lag between slaughtering
and eating is only that -which
is required for cooking.
We had an excellent exam
ple of this when we went to
dine with a minor Kurdish
cnief. As we neared the tent,
two boys led up an Angora
billy goat for inspection by a
man standing nearby. He
looked to me like a valuable
animal. His coat of soft, silky
hair, half grown after the
spring shearing, was already
beginning to lie against his
body in matted ringlets. J
paid no more attention to him
There were sheep nearby, and
on the basis of past experi
ence that was what we would
have for dinner.
Muilon Was Angora
The mutton we got, how
ever, was Angora. When din
ner was served some hours
later, on the floor, the main
dish consisted of two goats
roasted whole and brought in
on enormous trays of brass.
It was a special honor. The
Turks, to whom the Kurds
are nearest related, have" long
preferred Angoras to any
other breedof sheep or goats,'
in fact, to any other kind of
meat at all. They have good
reason. The meat was de
licious. But judging from the gusto
with which our host waded
into the roast goat he prob
ably regarded our visit more
as an excuse for a good feast
than anything else. He had
one regret that he couldn't
offer us any pasang, one of
the wild goats which he used
to hunt as a youth in Kurdis
tan before the Russians closed
the frontier.
At a gesture, one of his men
disappeared briefly and re
turned with a set of pasang

horns from one of the animals
he had killed.
The horns were a good 18
inches long. They had a scimitar-like,
backward sweep. The
resemblance to the famous
cutting weapon of the Middle
East was heightened further
by their sharp front edges.
They were so sharp I exam
ined them carefully to see if
they had been edged by man.
They hadn't been. The buck
had done it himself, as one
could tell by the wear on the
bosses that lay at irregular in
tervals, like small knobs,
along the horn.

Possible Ouster
From Teamsters
Washington 0.TD The Sen
ate Rackets committee has
ended its second week of in
quiry into affairs of Teamster
boss James R. Hoffa with a
sign its labors were bearing
fruit.
Court - appointed -monitors
for the Teamsters Union late
Friday recommended proceed
ings which could lead to oust
er of Owen (Bert) Brennan,
Teamster vice president and
Hoffa's close buddy.
The monitor's action
brought praise from members
of the committee, which de
veloped testimony that led up
to the recommendation.
A 'Good Sign'
Chairman John L. McClel
lan (D-Ark.), said the moni
tors should "move to the lim
it of their power in areas
where the committee's inves
tigation has revealed corrup
tion and wrong-doing."
Another committee mem
ber. Sen. Karl E. Mundt.(R
S.D.), said the action was "a
good sign the monitors mean
business."
Monitors Urge Charges
The monitors by a 2-1 vote
urged that Brennan be
charged by the union with
misuse of funds and engaging
in activities which bring the
1,500,000 -member organiza
tion into disrepute. The mon
itors fixed a 10-day deadline
for the union to comply with
their recommendations. They
presumably could ask a fed
eral judge for a court order to
enforce the proposals if the
union balked.
At issue was the payment
of $75 a week for two years
from Teamster welfare funds
to Embrel Davidson, a former
Detroit heavyweight boxer
once managed by Brennan.

TABLE ROCK
Big Rattlesnake Killed
By R, E. NEALON
Table Rock A monster
rattle snake, 48 inches long
and having nine rattles, was
killed recently near the John
Peterson place by Mrs. Wil
liam Bishop and Mrs. Nor
man Matteson and their child
ren. Several members of the
group took part in the kill.
The two families were re
turning home from a trip to
Grants Pass when the reptile
was noticed crossing the road.
Paul Schulz, Sams Valley
farmer, combined grain here i
last week and reports the
yield lighter than usual, with
a heavy growth of weeds
caused by late rains.
Keith Hockersmith, nutri
tional specialist for the
Grange Coop, was browsing
around these parts Thursday
trying to find out how much
money, if any, farmers will
have left after harvest to buy
fertilizer for next year's crop.
He says all the storage space
at the Coop is now filled with
local grain wnich win run
them until the first of the
year.
Mrs. William Bishop and
four girls left Tuesday for
their home in Kansas City,
Kan. after some six weeks
spent here with relatives and
friends, during which time
they were kept busy, with
picnics and parties given by
their friends, and the weather
man putting on two miniture
cyclones to add a Kansas
touch.
The youngsters seemed to
enjoy themselves immensely,
back among familiar scenes
and among the many cousins,
aunts and uncles. Starting on
their arrival here with play
houses and taming old black
puss, kittens, finding the
wood peckers home in the
big pine and watching mother
woodpecker bring food to the
little red heads, seeing the
brown cow milked, and
wondering if she gave homo-'
genized milk, ending their
last week with daily swims
in Rogue river. Having such
a lively, happy bunch of kids
around for several weeks
makes us feel a bit lonesome !
since their departure.
The first working model,
which has since been revised
somewhat, of the X - Plorer
Rocket toy, now being manu
factured in Medford by a
company employing handi
capped persons, was designed
and built by Ed Pierce, a
former Table Rock resident,
according to his brother, Bert,
an employee of Modoc or
chard. Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Geb
hard and infant son are now
living in the J. L. Nealon
house vacated some time ago
by the Stanley Wallin family.
Our story about William
Gore fording Rogue river on
horse-back was misleading as
it read as if Gore had to swim.
It was the horse only, the
rider just couldn't hold his
feet high enough to keep dry.
Roy Carley, a Sams Valley
farmer, whose side hill land
is adapted to the growing of
rye, was a recent caller here
and brought us a loaf of rye
bread baked at the Big Y
bakery. The rye flour was
Carley's rye and was ground
at the Putman mill at Eagle
Point, on the same stone used
when the mill was built some
86 years ago by Dick Daily
who started grinding flour,
July 3, 1872.
The 22-oz. loaf given us
was really delicious and we
wondered if the combination
of Carley's rye, being stone
ground, and baked by some
one who knows how to make
dark bread, made it so won
derful. TouVelle Park has become
very popular as a place for
picnics. A recent Sunday the
park was host to some nine
picnics from birthday anni
versaries to bee keepers.

About 60 persons attended

A picnic dinner in- the
shade of the big oaks at the
J. S. Richardson home was
held last Sunday and was at
tended by many relatives in
honor of the Donald Richard
son family of Portland.
The Richardsons are spend
ing their annual vacation here
with home folks and are doing
quite a little fishing in their
favorite streams in higher ele
vations, where the waters are
cold and the trout firm and
eager for grasshopper bait.
Among the attractions they
have visited is the Shakes
peare festival and the Bill
Bray Auction yards.
Due to the heavy demand
for- tables and space by pic
nicers at TouVelle park, the
caretaker has made a new
ruling to the effect that those
wanting tables and space must
"stake their claim" by 8 a.m.

The Melvin Harper family

relatives at the Herschel Har

Dr. Inskeep was out this
way the other morning for a
supply of cantaloupes. A hun
gry mosquito attacked the
doctor, who is allergic to mo
squito bites below the belt,
which caused him to cut his
visit short. Bessie says if we
had a man like that running
the health department the mo
squitoes would have a rough
time.
A pretty Table Rock miss
tells us she has discarded her
modified sack dress, for which
we commend her highly, al
though she is of a type that
could be attractive in any
style of dress . she chose to
wear. On the farm there are
many kinds of sacks from 50
lb. potato sacks, to wool sacks
that you can pack in some 200
lbs. of wool, from which they
probably got the sack dress
idea. We hope the fair sex
doesn't go ' to the other ex
treme now of wearing the
knee length dress like they
did some 16 years ago.
We used to feel sorry for a
modest little red head that
stayed with us while her sol
dier husband was training at
Camp White. While seated
around the fire place eve

stantly trying to keep her
skirt from creeping.
Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Wehde
of the Trail creek district
were recent business visitors
here. Wehde thought he had
discovered a new weed which
he saw in the Beagle district,

plant with a yellow blossom
and prickly leaves like Ore

found it was safflower, and
was sown by Earl Peffley.
The seed, it is claimed, is
valuable for making medi
