Students had locker clean-
out and inspection last Wed
nesday. Many times the teach
er standing by to inspect and
approve heard someone say,
"Gee, so that's where that
book was. I thought I lost
it ages ago." It seems impos
sible that all that stuff can
get in lockers.

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.

Two Men Appear
In Circuit Court
Imposition of sentence was
suspended on two men when
they appeared in circuit court
Monday.
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.

ing for a debate scrimmage.
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.
