TABLE ROCK Spring Signs Deceptive sands of his dwarf apple trees are going to many states in the mid-west. At the present time he is also selling his deep-rooted peach trees locally. R. E. NEALON Table Rock With violets, crocuses and jasmine in bloom a heavy carpet of green grass over fields and baby lambs arriving in the sheep pas tures, it would seem locally that spring is just around the corner. But to one who has spent 70 winters in this locality, the signs don't mean a lot. We remember back when George Putnam published the MT, we had enjoyed a winter like this and in the latter part of February the pear orchards were in full bloom. George decided to get out a special edition, so sent photographers into the orchards to get pic tures of the blossom-laden trees, green fields and other signs of spring. , If our memory serves us right, it was the first Sunday in March, 1914, we awoke to find about three inches of frozen snow in the ground, and covering the beautiful pear blossoms. The special edition of the Mail Tribune had been printed and was being received by subscribers, causing Putnam plenty of em barrassment. If we had at that time a weather bureau like our pres ent one, maybe it could have saved the day for him. Maybe he should have checked with the ground hog. All officers elected by the local Sunday school for the present year were present at last Sunday's session, also D, D. Randall, ex-American S. S Union missionary of Medford was present. Mrs. Ray Doran, the new superintendent, asked mem' bers to make an effort to in crease the attendance. According to Abe Halfhill, foreman on the Table Top ranch, the job of cleaning out the Snider creek channel has been completed through the south end from the county road to the river. The north end is too wet at present to work on. Gordon Kershaw, local nur seryman, is marketing many fruit trees at this time. Thou- Court Records DISTRICT COURT Weslev Jones, overwidth. $15.

A crew of carpenters is busy at the Ray Baker home where an extensive remodel ing job is underway. We were surprised to read recently in the paper that it cost more money per pupil to educate children in Oregon schools than in any state in the country, the state of Cal ifornia being next in cost. We wondered why, when we hear so much about the great needs of Oregon schools. According to the teachers, their salaries are not respon sible for Oregon's high cost of education.

Use Tribune Want Ads Latin Newspapers ore Executions Castro in Cuba Depl By Roger Sharp, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Sharp cele- fbrated his fourth birthday Tuesday, with Grandma and Grandpa Doran. By United Press International The echo of revolutionary firing squads in Cuba has re sulted in criticism of the Fidel Castro regime in Latin Ameri can nations as well as in the United States. In the tempestuous history of Latin America, the idea has been accepted that any government may topple at any time by the violent means of revolution. But inured as they may be to the revolutionary prin ciple, Latin Americans have also formed a revolutionary1 honor code or tradition: ""To the victor belongs the spoils but not the lives of the vanquished." Latin American public opin ion, with the exceses of re cent dictator regimes fresh in memory, at first followed with sympathy the progress of the Cuban revolution. Tha Mood Changed When the executions got underway, however, the mood changed. The Argentine Con gress was quick to address r e s o 1 u t ions to provisional President Manuel Urrutia, asking urgently that the ex ecutions cease. The influential newspaper La Prensa of Buenos Aires asked the Cuban courts to give the accused "due trials" with full legal guarantees." The Catholic newspaper El Pueblo of Buenos Aires said the summary executions were "an anomaly which is repugnant to the most ele mentary principles of human ity and Christianity." Colombia's leading news paper, El Tiempo of Bogota, said the Americas have been following "with horror and disappointment the bloody process of violence unleashed by the triumphant Cuban rev olution." Followers of Batista are be ing put to death "without observing any law," said the conservative El Siglo of Bo gota. Another conservative Col ombia daily, La Republica, said Castro had "come out of the wilderness, but wants to go on behaving as though he were among savages." Recalls Earlier Terror "The horror of these exec utions recalls the terror of the French Revolution and the frightful scenes of the Russian Revolution in 1917," La Republica continued. "Instead of trials, assassin ations are committed," said Mexicoo City's Excelsior. "In stead of punishing those guilty of abuses and outrages, the most implacable vengeance Is exercised, and in a fratri cide without precedent, with outan end to the horrible nightmare yet in sight." This was the temper of most newspapers, but at least one newspaper, Correlo da Manna of Rio de Janiero, while pointing out the executions could not be condoned, also wanted to know why the United States and several Latin American countries were so late in expressing their "humanitarian senti ments." "They should have been expressed when Batista was in power, punishing his oppo nents with torture and death," the newspaper said. COUNT INJURED London -(CPD- Count Bertil Bernadotte, 23, son of the late Count Folke Bernadotte, suf fered a brain concussion in an automobile collision Sun day night. A hospital reported he was in satisfactory condi Norway has an average population density of about 10 persons per square mile. An average vineyard con tains 500 to 800 vines to the acre. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Smith and Mr. and Mrs. David Dor an, were visitors at the Jack sonville museum Sunday af ternoon.' The two men are growing beards for the Cen tennial and their wives intend to make themselves some of the hundred-year-ago dresses. Their motive for visiting the museum was to get point ers on how to shape beards and make costumes to con form with the oldentimes. Ac cording to Mrs. Smith, they found the museum so interest ing and containing so many antiques and new displays, that they spent the whole af ternoon there. She advises anyone wanting to spend a half day or so, en joying themselves among the old relics that give a wonder ful and true picture of how folks lived in times past, to make a trip to the Jackson ville museum. Mr. and Mrs. Ted Cornutt of Old Stage rd. were business visitors here Monday. WHAT ARE THE COMMUNISTS REAUY AFRAID OF?
