Dueling Charge First of Century
San Diego, Calif. -TO- The
first dueling charge in San
Diego county this century was
on file today against two men
who shot it out with small
caliber pisols in this city's
downtown district.
Police said Calvin P. Sum
mers, a sailor stationed aboard
the USS Prairie, and Jimmy
C. Fuller, of National City,
Calif., both 2 3, exchanged
six shots Friday before they
stopped firing when both
were wounded.
The two men began argu
ing when Summers allegedly
called Fuller, a Negro locker
club employee, "some bad
racial names."
Police said Summers and a
companion went to another
club where the sailor got a
.25 - caliber pistol. Summers
and Fuller then met on a
downtown street corner and
argued again before drawing
their guns.
Fuller was shoe in the neck
and leg and Summers was hit
in the lower abdomen. Both
men were taken to San Diego
County hospital and each was
held in lieu of $10,000 bail

News About Books
From the Library
More than one-third of the
books added to the Jackson
County library in a year are
books written and purchased
expressly for children. Al
though the titles are not usu
ally listed in this column,
they are considered of equal
importance with the library's
books for older readers, and
they are chosen with equal
care.
"One is not a child for
very long," someone has said;
"and if a child's first reading
is not strong, rich, and varied
enough to stimulate his imag
ination, then he may never
enter the fascinating world
that is there for him to ex
plore. If what is real and
alive in books becomes ob
scured by, or even confused
in their minds with what is
mediocre and dull, many chil
dren will miss altogether the
discovery that reading is for
delight.
"Just as the best books
stimulate the child's imagina
pins by Master Kathleen Sco
vell. Mothers-representing each
of the Granges present were
escorted to the Chaplain's sta
tion and there presented with
Mothers day corsages while
Nell Ramsay and her daugh
ter, Marybeth, as her accom
panist, sang "One Heart to
Love Me" by Jeanne Alden
Joy of Ashland. Those 'hon
ored included Metta Buck,
Upper Applegate; Lyndall
Cameron, Live Oak; H. Gil
lette, Bellview; Ethel Hocker
smith, Phoenix; Emma Con
ger, Central Point; Myrtle
Cartlon, Upper Rogue, Mabel
Wertz, Eagle Point; Willie
McLean, Gold Hill; Kizzie Ed
mundsen, Butte Falls; Elea
nor Mankin, Roxy Ann; and
M a b y 1 Buchanan, Griffin
Creek.
Following the presentation,
a quintet of Upper Applegate
Grange members including
Stella Off enbacher, Dana
Gearhart and Gladys Wil
liams and Bert Harr and Cur
tis Gearhart sang "My Moth
er's Bible" with Christine
Harr as accompanist.
In response to a special re
quest, Caroline Harding of
Upper Rogue Grange related
incidents from the recent
Grange-sponsored tour of Ha
waii in which she partici
pated. - 3 -
A humorous skit, "Cards
and Gossip," was presented
by five Upper Applegate
members Barbara Larson,
Dilbreth Dunshee, Stella Of
fenbacher, Glen Saltmarsh,
and Marie Louise Nordwick.
As a centennial feature,
Christine Harr read a news
paper clipping published in
Versailles, Ky., in the year
1849, announcing sale of per
sonal effects and household
goods by a man who stated
he was leaving to establish
residence in Oregon Terri
tory. Included in the detailed
list of items to be sold were
his six Negro slaves; two men,
two women, and two boys, all
of whom, it was stipulated,
must be purchased by one in
dividual since their owner re
fused to have them separated.
The program concluded
with a piano solo by Marybeth
Ramsey who played Mozart's
"Tell Me a Story Mama," and
for an encore, Rathgeber's
"Allegretto."
County Deputy Roberts
commended Upper Applegate
Grange on its seating drill
and the quality of its floor
work in general.
Recalling the first meeting
of Upper Applegate Grange
which he attended in 1936 as
Jackson County Pomona Mas
ter, C. L. Hockersmith of
Phoenix said he felt a great
Improvement had been made
since those days. At that time
the Grange wag holding its
sessions in the old Beaver
Creek schoolhouse. The meet
ing was so late getting started
and lasted so long, he said,
that he got home just in time
to start his morning milking.
Greetings were brought by
the various visiting members,
and Pomona Master Bob Bit
terling commended the Butte
Falls Grange members for
having won the traveling
agate, awarded in conjunction
with the visitation program,
three times in success.
Refreshments of sandwiches
and coffee furnished by the
host Grange, and cookies pro
vided by the visitors, were
served following adjourn
ment.

Major Responsibility
Even though school librar
ies now exist in all Medford
schools and in some of the
rural schools of Jackson coun
ty, service to children is still
a major responsibility of the
public library. Good library
service to children means not
only an adequate collection
of books and other materials
but a librarian interested in
and especially educated for
this type of work who can
