NEALON Table Rock - The Table Rock Community club's an nual Christmas program will be held at the schoolhouse, Monday evening, Dec. 21, ac cording to Miss Linda Doran, president. The club has do nated $10 toward candy and treats for the kids, and pop corn balls made from a spe cial recipe by Mrs. Frank Myers will be distributed. Chris Hagler, of the Dog Control board, has made sev eral trips out this way late ly to cope with prowling dogs that have been chasing and killing sheep on neighborhood farms. Several valuable cats also have been destroyed by them. These cats, as destroy ers of rodents, were worth a dozen prowling dogs to farm owners. To protect their flocks, sheep owners are carrying guns when going about their farm work. Many of the guilty dogs vanish before Hagler arrives, but he still manages to exe cute about 200 each month. The county road crews are still going full blast on the road between the Hull corner and the junction with the Dodge Bridge rd. The pro longed dry weather has caus ed the pummace soil to be soft and dusty, which in turn is bringing complaints from house wives who are fearful that they may have a dusty Christmas, rather than a white one. , -; ; The road, when completed, will be elevated somewhat, with deep drains on the sides. This reminds us of some road building many years ago, south of Central Point, on the road to Medford called at that time the Owell, l.ne. George Dunn was county judge and was running for re-election. The editor of - a local paper was trying to defeat him, and used this. road building as an example of his extravagance, calling the ' road the "Dunn elevated.".:- The . road was on black heavy soil and was being built with a high crown, and deep drains, while the roads those days were flat. Judge Dunn still lives in Ashland, and, if he travels about the county, he will go over many "Dunn elevated" roads. Mr. and Mrs. Milo Hardin, and son Jon, of Bellingham, Wash., former residents of Medford, were recent visitors with relatives, here, at the John Dickey and Don Wheel er homes. While here they visited other relatives in the Rogue valley. Mrs. Hardin says she is quite homesick for this valley, and has never lived in a place she liked so well. The Ray Smith family, les sees of the Jim Glenn house for the past several months, have moved to a house in Cen tral Point area, where they will be nearer their work. Mrs. Emma Kyle, who died recently in Medford, was a resident of this community some 40 years ago. She and her son Roy lived in a house that was later destroyed by fire on what is now the Ed win Taylor farm. Wilford Davies, farm cen sus enumerator, was here Fri day. He stated that out of 425 farmers interviewed there were some 25 who made all their livelihood on their farms, while the other 400 made most of their living working at jobs of different kinds. This makes one wonder if in the not too distant future the fertile soils of our valley will be covered with homes and roads. With farming what it is today, it .is worth more for that now. Members of the local Ladies club are reminded that the next meeting of the club will be Wed., Dec. 16 at the home of Mrs, Ernest Smith at 2 p.m. Waters of the Table Rock ditch are now running through some half mile of 3U-incn tue recently laid by a county road crew some 6 feet under ground. Also tile for irriga tion purposes is being laid on the Taylor and Robinson farms by the owners.

Watkins There Is a Plant That Mots Like an Animal Ordinarily, we do not think of a plant as something that does tricks, performs, or exe cutes actions or movements for movement is mostly re served for living animals. But there are such plants. Sudden movement in . a n y plant is very unusual; in fact it is spectacular; we do not as sociate voluntary action with these objects. The movement of growth, or response to in jury, disease, or any outside stimuli, is so slow in plants that we cannot perceive any movement whatever. More unusual still is sud- Acoustical Board Planned at Pool Plans to install acoustical board around the Young Men's Christian association's swimming pool were an nounced last week at a meet ing of the board of directors. ' Wayne S. Truble, architect with the J. L. Payne company, has completed plans which in clude an acoustical treatment of perforated asbestos board. Acoustical problems have made it difficult for instruc tors and pupils learning to swim in the pool during the 10 years of its operation, ac cording to Robert L. Jones, secretary of the YMCA. Funds for the work have been allocated by the Y's board of directors from a $10,000 gift last year by the late John R. Tomlin. Build ing committee members hope to have the acoustical work completed by Jan. 24, when the Y holds its open house. Dr. William Roberts, chair man of the Y's aquatic com mittee, said the acoustical work will make the pool more comfortable and allow for better instruction. The board also approved installation of a new sign in front pi the YMCA. The University of Califor nia Medical Center at Los An geles has developed a test to find out whether certain heart patients would be good surgical risks. den and violent movement when that action is the result of the plant's own reaction. The so-called "sensitive plant," and a few others, are the exceptions; these plants share with animals some of the simpler actions. The true, "sensitive" plant is tropical. It is found in many places and in artificial environments be cause of its ability to "per form." At the merest touch, it folds its leaves, and "plays dead." This act can, and does, take place right in front of the astonished eyes of anyone who touches or jars the plant. Sudden Folding So sensitive is it to outside agencies, and influences that it will wilt if snapped with a finger. A few drops of water falling on the leaves or stems will cause it to droop, with a sudden folding of the leaflets. Some of these plants will close up at a sudden sound. Some will wilt when spoken to in a loud voice. After a pe- riod of rest, when all is quiet again, the leaflets will slowly unfold. A few other allied plants, some rather common through out much of the U.S., have the ability to respond in a similar manner. The sensitive briar, a vine-like plant that clambers, over sandy soil, is always alert to outside influences. A careless foot caught on one part of the plant will cause a sudden, and abrupt folding up of the fernlike leaflets; ev en the stems will react. The common partridge pea re sponds quickly to outside stimuli. Because of the sud den and oft-times violent movement " in these strange acting plants they have been used extensively in plant ex perimental work. Physical Tiredness A peculiar characteristic of the sensitive plant is the phys ical tiredness that can result by repeated, and frequent touching and jarring. Snap the stem sharply with a finger and the leaflets quickly fold; then the stem droops. In a short time the stem again be comes rigid, the leaves un fold. Now jar it again, once again the plant responds. But if the process is repeated sev eral times, the plant becomes i i i I Medford Pharmacy 101 North Central, Corner 6th Ph.
