NEALON Table Rock Members of the local Sunday school turn ed thumbs down on the propo sition of disbanding, at the regular session last Sunday. It had been suggested by some that since the attendance had fallen off, it might be better to disband and attend Sunday school in the churches. In the discussion, it developed that those present were unanimous in their desire to keep the Sunday school as it is. The following were elected officers for 1960: Mrs. R. E.

The sharp curve near the Table Rock ranch, where three soldiers from Camp White lost their lives in a truck accident, during World War II, has been re placed by a long gradual curve, that cuts quite a chunk out of the adjoining field. Paul Harvey, in his news cast the other day, said that the cost of living had gone up another notch, but the price of farmers' products had gone down. He spoke as though he thought he was telling some news. We wondered where he had been for the last several years. Mrs. Amos Maplesden has been confined to her home with a cold for the past week.

Circuit Court Judge Ed ward Kelly suspended imposi tion of sentence for one year on William Edward Fox, 3000 Tolman Creek rd., Ashland, on charges of malicious and wan ton injury of personal prop erty. Fox had pleaded guilty of defacing the motor number of a car belonging to Jack Gib bon Used Cars, Fresno, Calif., and stamping a different num ber on in place of it. Roilin B. Dexter, 49, of 12 Ross St., Medford, was placed under the control of the pa role and probation officer and imposition of his sentence was suspended for one year. Dexter had pleaded guilty to charges of extortion. The victim was David Mathias, Medford, from whom Dexter attempted to extort $500 April 17, 1959. Several weeks ago, we heard something that is usually heard here during the summer season. First, we thought we were hearing things, but after checking, we found the lights we saw were on a baler, and the noise was made by the plunger of the baler being operated by the Darlings, Bill and Mary, who were baling hay in an adjoining field, for their large dairy herd. We thought baling hay in Decem ber should be news in any country this far from the equator. Quite a little anxiety is be ginning to develop among farmers in sections of the val ley where water tables are low, and the soil still dry and hard, with weather conditions showing no signs of putting the usual snow coverings on the mountains, or enough rain to soak up the crop lands. Elmer Young, from the tall timber of the Trail creek area, was a recent visitor here in search of hay. He reported six inches of snow at his place, and the cattle down from the high places, looking for hand outs around the barns. The Bill Bishop family left here Thursday morning on a trip that will take them by motor car to Ontario, Ore., where they will spend a day with relatives, thence by rail to their home in Kansas City, Kan. During the week they spent here, they were kept busy visiting their many cousins, nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends throughout the valley. Hav ing lived here for several years, they enjoyed meeting and talking with friends, and' noting the changes that have taken place since they visited here two years ago. They did n't complain about the cli mate, which put on an unusual show of fog and freezing, end ing up with a snow storm the day they left.

Those participating were: Ro ma Sims, Laurie Cooper, John Gates, and Larry Tut tle. The McLoughlin debate squad will enter the Linf ield College speech tournament at McMinnvill on Feb. 18-20. During our recent struggle with the flu, we received a letter from Bob Walters, the new regional editor of the Mail Tribune, which gives us much good advice on vriting items, arranging them, and what are the most important things from a news, stand point. We note that meetings and activities of clubs, lodges, etc., are important, but tell ing that refreshments of apple pie and cider served, are not. We agree with this; in our opinion it is no more impor tant than the dress the bride groom's mother wore at the wedding. On the other hand, telling that refreshments would be served at a meeting to be held, would be impor tant from an attendance stand point. " All of this, reminds us of a talk some years ago, with George Putnam, then editor of the M.T., when we began to write in the spring of 1914. We asked him if he remember ed the first items we sent in. He said he did, that we told about an intoxicated man be ing found in his car along the local roadside. We asked him if we gave the man's name. He said we didn't, probably be cause we didn't know it. Then he told us a story about A. C. Howlett, the Eagle Point cor respondent, who wrote "The Eagletts," and had a wide circle of readers around Eagle Point and throughout the val ley, who enjoyed his way of reporting news, nothing being too large, or too small to be omitted. Someone at the M.T. began to "blue pencil" and rear range his Eagletts, which sort of irritated Howlett, who laid down his pencil and quit. In a short time, Tribun readers began to Inquire about the absence of the Eagletts. Put nam contacted Howlett, and was told the reason, so went to the composing room, and was told that much of his column was not important, and the grammar, and com posing was not up to standard. Putnam said he told them he didn't give a hoot about how it was written, and from then on to put it all in, and just as it was. Howlett resumed his writing, and continued for many years. This is not a threat Bob, for we do appreci ate your kindly help and inter est, and believe the other country correspondents will too. But we may find that it will be hard to teach an old dog new tricks. We note from your biography data that you have been around a bit, and a university man, and have done a dry land hitch in Uncle Sam's Navy. Now, a peek into our past: we attend ed the Table Rock school back in the days when the terms were three months out of each year, graduated out of Barne's fifth reader, before the turn of the century. In those days we had no grades, one went to school until he was 21, or had mastered the fifth reader, whichever came first. We did a campus hitch in officers training in World War I, but before we graduated, the Ger mans got wise to what we would-be generals were up to, and threw in the towel. During our 2-week struggle with the flu, when we were kept flat on our back by our good doctor, and our better half, many things in our lively community were happening. Some of them we will try to record, with the generous help of Mrs. Ernest Smith. Sunday, Dec. 20, 21 guests were entertained at a dinner and exchange of gifts, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Smith. The guests were mem bers of Ernest's father's fam ily. The local Community club, with some 50 members in attendance, met at the schoolhouse Dec. 21, for the Christmas program. A play, "The Empty Gesture," with nine characters taking the parts, was well received. The "Birth of Christ" was reenact ed by a group of children from the local Sunday school. Dur ing an exercise by the small children, carols were sung by the audience. Santa Claus ap peared as usual, and seemed well pleased with the chil dren's before - Christmas be havior, according to their re ports, and gave them many presents, not forgetting the oldsters. Aunt Mary Myers presented everyone with her traditional Christmas popcorn balls. During the Christmas sea son, we received many cards. some from different states, and from foreign countries, so to those we missed, we hope you had a joyous Christmas and wish for "you all" a hap py and prosperous 1960. r mrjusyv wry vtv.vv MEDFORD PAINT and PAINT WITH IteaW&Tciiel Wallpaper Store 6th & Holly?
