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.

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
