TABLE ROCK
Old Hay Barn
By R. E. NEALON
Table Rock - The .Table
Rock Darlings, Bill and Mary
have purchased the large hay
barn, 60 by 100 feet, located
in the John Cupp subdivision
just south of the city limits of
Central Point.
The Darlings will use the
lumber to build loafing sheds
for their large herd of dairy
cows and replacement heifers.
Mary says these improve
ments will add much to the
comfort of the cows, but will
not , be as luxurious as the
foam rubber mattresses being
tried out in an experiment
station in the midwest
. There .will have to be much
more "dough" coming- from
milk sales before the bossies
get to sleep on foam rubber,
she says. ,
This barn was built about
the -turn of the century by
Hopkins, owner of the farm
at that time. Hay at that time
was stored "loose" and re
quired a lot of space.
K. C. Farley, of Medford,
veterinarian in charge of cat
tle inspection, was "needling"
the local cows this week. He
had a veterinarian from Coos
Bay helping him as he doesn't
step around like he did be
fore his health slowed him
up. In times past, if a fanner
forgot to get his cows in the
barn, if he could find them
he would test them and be on
his way.
Charley Nelson and Mrs.
Stanley Pittman of the Mead
ows district, were recent hay
buyers here. Charley had his
face covered with Centennial
whiskers and says he never
did like to shave, and now he
has an alibi.
A letter from Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur Doty, ,ih Carson City,
Nev., tells that they are feel
ing fine and enjoying good
health. The. weather there has
been bright and sunny, but
cold and freezing. They would
like to be back with Table
Rock friends, . according to
the letter.
R. Drinkwater of Medford,
representing the Oregon Mo
tor club, was a business visi
tor here Tuesday. He was ex
plaining his car insurance.
Smudge pots are being
placed in position in the Hull
creek after undergoing major
surgery in the Veterans' hos
pital in Portland last month.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hen
derson have returned to their

"The bill will be available

Bill Prohibits
Party Officials
From Lobbying
Salem-(UPD-A bill to pre
vent high officials, of any po
litical party from lobbying
at the Oregon Legislature
was introduced Tuesday in
the Senate by Sen. Dan Dim
ick (D-Roseburg) and Rep.
Keith Skelton (D-Eugene).
Specifically named as bar
red from lobbying were the
state chairman and vice chair
man and the national commit
teeman and committeewoman
of any political party.
"We drew up this bill after
seeing Peter Gunnar, chair
man of the Republican State
Central Committee, listed as
an insurance lobbyist in the
Oregon Legislature," Dimick
and Skelton said.
"In our opinion, it is not
in the interest of good gov
ernment to have a political
party leader in a position to
pressure the members of his
party in the Legislature to
vote for his special interest,"
they added.
Sense of Ethics
Dimick and Skelton specu
lated that "the reason the
need for such legislation has
never arisen before is appar
ently that a common sense
of ethics has prevented others
from assuming such a dual
role, or at least it has prompt
ed others in a position of
power to stop them."
They said they felt sure
that if Gov. Hatfield "would
stop to think about it, he
would not condone this con
flict of interest."
Gov. Hatfield . . . should
demand the resignation of
Mr. Gunnar as Republican
state chairman," they said."

Grange News
Upper Applegate Grange
The proposal for Ruch
school to consolidate with the
Medford district . was dis
cussed by Principal Boyd
Gibson of Ruch school dur
ing the lecturer's hour which
followed the regular session
of Upper Applegate Grange
Friday, Feb. 13.
This plan was favored by
34 of the 39 members attend
ing the last PTA meeting at
Ruch when an opinion poll
was completed, he stated, but
no official action will be
taken regarding it until after
elections are held in March
or April in both of the dis
tricts involved.
The school district reorgan
ization law passed in 1955 be
comes effective in 1961 when
all non-high districts, such as
Ruch, will cease to exist, Gib
son explained. Since the cost
would be prohibitive to" con
struct a high school .for the
Ruch district, consolidation
is the logical solution.
Time and funds can be
saved if steps are taken to
effect consolidation now,
rather than to wait assign
ment by the Jackson County
School Reorganization com
mittee. For this reason, if
both Ruch and Medford vot
ers endorse the present plan,
it will become effective July
1, 1959, Gibson said.
Jacksonville, which now ac
cepts Ruch High school stu
dents on a tuition basis, has
already requested consolida
tion with Medford, it was
pointed out. If Ruch is con
solidated with Medford, it
will mean that grades one
through six will continue to
receive their schooling at
Ruch, since Medford operates
on what is known as the
6-3-3 plan, and no changes in
the Ruch staff are contem
plated although all. salaries
would be adjusted to the
Medford schedule, which in
most instances is somewhat
higher than that now prevail
ing at Ruch.
If the consolidation plan be
comes effective, Ruch school
property .would be under the
jurisdiction of the Medford
school board, but the Ruch
board of trustees would con
tinue as an advisory body.
Currently there is an over
lapping of Jurisdiction and
of functions of the non-high,
rural and Ruch boards under
which the district now oper
ates, it was stated, which does
not always result in maxi
mum efficiency.
Since annual tuition per
high school student in Jack
sonville is $630 while that in
Medford is $470, it is antici
pated that this difference in
cost will more than offset the
additional outlay for trans
portation of high school stu
dents to Medford.
It is also anticipated that
for the present a consolida
tion with Medford would re
sult in a slight decrease in
taxes, since the current Med
ford rate for school purposes
is less than that now in effect
in the Ruch district.
In conclusion, .Gibson em
phasized that this plan does
not result from any desire on
the part of Medford to absorb
rural school districts. The re
ON DISPLAY
quest for consolidation eman
ates from Ruch as the result
of a careful study of the
school situation in the county
in relation to local needs.
The Grange program in
cluded a vocal solo, "Just a
Song at Twilight," by Gladys
Williams with Florence Lance
as accompanist; a humorous
story by George Redhead; a
series of riddles, the answers
to which were the names of
Oregon towns, propounded by
Mildred Redhead; Valentine
Centennial verses frooi the
"Hood River Times" relating
to Oregon's admission to the
Union, read by Anna Scott,
and ' presentation of excerpts
from the diary of the late Wil
burn Beeson by Mrs. Scott.
Beeson, who settled in Jack
son county on Wagner creek
when he was 16, added daily
entries to his diary until -his
death in 1893, thus making
it one of the most complete
historical records of early
days in this area which now
exists.
Excerpts presented at this
time concerned the casting of
his vote for Abraham Lincoln
at Gasburg (Phoenix), the ar
rival of news of the election
of Lincoln and Hamlin,
brought by pony express from
Illinois in eight days; the Lin
coln dinner in celebration of
this event by Republicans of
the area, including the names
of outstanding guests, the
menu, and the program of
toasts, speeches, numbers by
the Ashland Brass band, and
the firing of 33 shots, one for
each state then comprising
the union. Subsequently the
secession of South Carolina,
and four years later, the as
sassination of Lincoln were
recounted. Mrs. Scott agreed
to continue with excerpts
from the diary from time to
time during the centennial
year.
The program concluded
with community singing of
"Old Black Joe." -
During the regular busi
ness session, Upper Applegate
Grange went on record op
posing House bill 360 which
provides that any piece of
work amounting to $5,000 or
over must be performed by
contract. This measure, it was
stated, was proposed once be
fore but failed to gain pass
age by the legislature and is
currently encountering strong
opposition from counties and
municipalities throughout the
state.
Report of the relief commit
tee indicated that Verna Culy
was convalescing at home
after being hospitalized with
a strep throat, and Val Has
kins has also been confined
to his home in Jacksonville
by illness.
Day-old calves are bringing
from $30- to $50 in valley auc
tions according to' George
Redhead, chairman of the ag
riculture committee. Animals
purchased at such prices are
not likely to show a profit
to the owner, it was pointed
out.

Legislative Chairman Anna
Scott reported that the cur
rent session of the Oregon

lished a record for the rapid
ity with which bills have been
introduced and referred to
committees for their consid
eration. A Valentine square dance
was announced on behalf of
the ways and means commit
tee scheduled to be held in
the Grange hall Saturday,
Feb. 14. This was postponed
until the following Monday
evening due to the power
failure occasioned by heavy
snow during the week end.
House Committee Chair
man James Winningham re
ported that tables in the din
ing room and kitchen had
been covered -with masonite
and that a culvert had been
installed and a new entrance
completed to the grounds. He
proposed that the back stage
area of the hall be completed
with insulation board as a
means of reducing heating
costs, and approval was vot
ed by the members present.
Members of the executive
committee stated that in ac
cordance with their instruc
tions at the preceding meet
ing, insurance on the Grange
hall and its contents had been
increased to a total of $20,
000. .
Report of the treasurer,
Marie Louise Nordwick, indi
cated a balance on hand 'of
