Upper Apolegate Grange Upper Applegate Grangers weer hosts to 160 members and guests a; their Christmas open house Dec. 12. A musi cal program of carols and oth er numbers was presented by the Ruch school band under the direction of Leroy Mauro ni, and by Rodney Snider and Louie Barker, who presented vocal numbers. A film,. "The Mayflower Story," depicting the building and subsequent voyage of the Mayflower II, was shown, and community singing of carols was led by Chaplain Mildred Redhead, whose unit was responsible for arranging the program. Refreshments of cup cakes, coffee, and punch were served by Lewis and Helen Buckley and Albert Collings assisted by the HEC. During the final business session for the year, which convened following the re freshment hour, Anna Scott, Crange Lecturer, received commendation for her booster night program which has been awardefl first place for Granges or 100 members or less in the state of Oregon and has been entered in the Na tional Grange contest for the best booster night program. Mrs. Scott, in turn, expressed her appreciation for the co operation she received from the members. Secretary Irene Culy an nounced that more than half the members of Upper Apple- gate Grange have earned the title, "Early Birds," by paying their dues for the new year. Reporting for the relief committee, Chaplain Mildred Redhead stated Grange Stew ard Edward Finley, who was hospitalized for an infection of hand and arm, is complet ing his recovery at home, as is Bill Barker, who sustained a spinal injury recently. George Picaud, Applegate postmaster, is still in Sacred Heart hospi tal following major surgery, while the Gail Buffingtons, the John Byrnes, Ben Twiss, and Mrs. Deter have recov ered from recent illnesses. Appreciation was expressed on behalf of the Ruch PTA for the Grange donation of $15 to ward purchase of candy to be distributed at the school Christmas program. The agriculture committee reported the price of hay to be rising, with much of the available supply being infer ior in quality as the result of numerous spring rains which made cutting so late much of the hay was over-ripe when harvested. Chairman Edna Sawyer of the Home Economics commit tee announced receipt of a new 72-cup coffee urn for the Grange hall kitchen. She also stated the HEC has formulat ed pains for another St. Val entine's Day dinner in 1959. Worthy Master-elect Kath leen Scovell reported appoint ment of Sister Sawyer to con tinue In office for another year as HEC chairman, with Sisters Mamie Winningham and Verna Culy to -assist her. A successful square dance series and a Thanksgiving dance were reported by ways and means chairman, Ethel West, who stated other events of this nature were scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 13, and for New Year's eve. Gifts of $21 from the Upper Applegate Home Extension unit together with apprecia tion for use of the Grange hall for its activities, and for S10 from the McKee family for a Thanksgiving Day re union dinner held there, were received by the treasurer, Cyrene Davis. It was decided by vote of the membership to hold only one meeting in January, on Jan. 9. The time for the sec ond meeting, Jan. 23, will be devoted to presentation of the final unit program in the cur rent series of four, under the direction of Ethel West. This event will be open to the pub lic and all Grangers. The word "doll" for chil dren's toys is believed to have come from the old Norse word "daul," meaning woman.

But there is no sign of Rob ert H. Cole, wanted on a dis trict court warrant in connec tion with the car's disappear ance, police said.

Kansas City, Mo. -OJPD- In case you've always wondered, 8,500,000 turkey feathers an inch and a half to two inches long will weight about 850 pounds. For his information, thank Hallmark Cards, which had occasion to inquire into the subject when it placed an order to buy that many feath ers from a firm in Hong Kong. The feathers will be used to decorate greeting cards.

OPEN MONDAY AND TUESDAY UNTIL Friday, Dec, 12 I visited the robin roost north of Phoenix in the late afternoon. However, I didn't get there until 4:45 and most of them seemed to be already in, so I didn't get any chance to estimate their numbers as they flew in. There seemed to be a good many both of robins and starlings that had already gone down into the blackberry tangles where they spend the night in the utmost safety. Sunday, Dec. 14 In the afternoon I figured that if I stayed home I would just waste my time looking at the football game on the TV, so I might as well go out to see if I could see some birds. I had borrowed a key to the gate for the road leading up on Table Rock and decided I would try going up there for the first time. The main objective from a birding standpoint was to see whether some rock wrens might be resident there. The only place we found them previously is Pompadour Cliff. I found that without a doubt some of the edges of Table Rock are ideal places for rock wrens. There are not only cliffs but also lots of loose rock. In fact I am pretty sure that I saw one although it flew away before I actually got a good view of it in my binoculars. I sat on a rock in the sunshine for quite a while waiting for one to come into view, but it didn't come back. It certainly was a beautiful after noon and I was happy to be out. Monday, Dec. 15 J. H. wasn't able to go out birding today. Since I had been out for two hours the previous afternoon I decided to limit myself to two hours this morning so that I would have time to do some other necessary things, and I kept my self well within the self-imposed limitation. I decided to go up Wagner Creek where a friend had told me she saw what looked to her and her husband like pine grosbeaks. This interested me very much because there are very few records for this species in Oregon, especially in the western part. I didn't have the good fortune to find them although I believe from the account the identification was correct. How ever, I did find that their place along the creek with some trees and brush there and some open fields nearby was an ideal place for birds. I listed 21 or 22 right there in a short period of time. I was most pleased to see the little winter wrens. (I don't really know whether I saw several or one several times.) They are cute little dark birds with a short, perky tail. They like to poke around in brush piles. My friend says they see them often and they are very tame. Robins, cedar waxwings, American goldfinches and pine siskins were flying . down to the creek to bathe. They evi dently don't feel the way I do about cold water on a cold morning. I also saw a fox sparrow along a woodsy path and a savannah sparrow on a fence by one of the open fields. There was a myrtle warbler flitting in the trees.

Now I wonder where they have gone? I also wondered whether some person had tried to shoot them or kill them in some way at their roost, but he said he saw very little evidence of that. I know that there are still robins and starlings in the valley, so we'll have to find out where they are roosting. Thursday, Dec. 18 Today for once I had a chance to look at the birds after I put up peanut butter on the branches of our oak tree. I was interested to see that juncos and white crowned sparrows were again the ones that came to it. I think there was also a golden-crowned sparrow. In the thick fog it was pretty hard to tell one bird from another even at that close range. In the evening I groped through the fog to Hedrick Junior high to a Christmas program. It was worth the grop ing. I don't know much of anything more beautiful than young voices singing Christmas carols. I love nature, but people when they are what God meant them to be can attain levels of beauty higher even than anything else in the realm of nature.-T.M. A TRIBUTE TO CHRISTMAS DAY!
