9 TABLE ROCK Nurseryman Moves Stock By R. E. NEALON Table Rock - Gordon Ker ihaw, the Medford nursery man who has been growing nursery stock on the Orville Hamilton and Ray Baker farms for the past several years, is at present moving his huge stock of young trees and shrubs to new ground in the Wagner creek and Ante lope districts. It seems that after so many years of grow ing nursery stock on the same land, the land needs to b revitalized by growing some other kind of crop for a few years. Benny Peek, herdsman and showman of fancy stock at the Reter Table Top Ranch, is leaving next week with four registered hereford bulls for the big bull sale at Red Bluff, Calif., where 500 of the best bulls in the west will go through the auction ring. During the Christmas rush, the flu epidemic and nasty weather, we missed recording much of the local news. One item of special importance we missed was the arrival of a newcomer, Scott Robert, who arrived Dec. 11, at the Nor man Matteson home, where he seems to be quite at home with the other little Matte sons. Our neglect was brought to mind when we met the young fellow at Sunday school, so we humbly apolo gize for the oversight. Joe Perry, an employee of the Modoc Orchard since 1945 recently suffered a slight heart condition and is off the job, recuperating at his home in Sams Valley. James Lewis, son of Mrs. Manley Jacobsen, recently en listed in the U. S. Navy, and is now stationed at San Diego, Calif. "National prominence has been gained by farmers of the Beagle and Sams Valley dis tricts as the result of a story published a short time ago in the Mail Tribune. The item, submitted by R. E. Nealon, regular correspondent, told of the plan adopted by the farm ers whereby hay hands were paid for labor in hay. The story was sent out over the Associated Press wires, ap peared on the front page of the Portland Oregonian, and in numerous newspapers of the nation, and today has made its way into the editor ial columns of Collier's mag azine, national weekly, pub lished at Springfield, Ohio. The magazine reads: Up in Sams Valley and Beagle farm ing districts of Oregon, they're having a lot of experience with this 'back to fundament als' business the politicians are talking so much about. Field hands, whose normal pay should be two dollars a day, while haying are taking their wages in hay at six dol lars a ton. All they have to do then is find out what to do with the hay'." Bessie says that working for hay those days was about as remunerative as writing for the paper these days. Among Sunday visitors at th R. E. Nealon home were Miss Nancy Hamilton and Bob Walters, Medford. Nancy is doing practice teaching and Bob is the regional editor of the M.T., whom we had never met, but from his telephone conversation we had pictured him as a stern, old writer, with a quill in his hand. We found him quite different, a modern chap, even to the hair-do, young in years, with a head full of ideas to make the M.T. a better paper than it already is. We couldn't resist the temp tation to mention mistakes made in our last T.R. items, which Bessie, our typist, says happened after they left here. In the line about the nation's gold at Ft. Knox, the word goods was used in place of gold. In the paragraph where the Table Top Ranch was mentioned, the name Table Rock was used. Table Top Ranch is the name given to Raymond Reter's large land holdings here. Back in the nineties there was a farm here known as J. O. John son's Table Rock Ranch. It is the plan of Walters to run page devoted to region al news on Monday, Wednes day and Friday of each week, commencing Monday, Feb. 1. So if everything goes accord ing to plans, the Table Rock items will be on the regional page of Friday's paper. To make connections, items mailed from here would have to go on Wednesday's mail. Those who have announce ments or news for publica tion should keep this in mind. Mr. Norman Matteson re turned Saturday from a busi ness trip to Portland. Nominations for Award Being Taken Nominations for the annual Distinguishehd Service award are now being accepted by the Medford Junior Chamber of Commerce, according to Chairman Richard Court- right. The award will be present ed at the DSA banquet at the Rogue Valley Country club Feb. 25. Howard Belton, re cently appointed state treas urer, will speak. Courtright said the award is presented each year to the man, age 21 through 35, who has made the most outstand- rn contnbtuion to the com munity during the past year, has exhibited leadership abili ty and shown personal and business progress. Nominations must be in by Feb. 12, Courtwright said, and from these the winner will be selected by a panel of three senior citizens. Nomination blanks have been mailed to individual service organizations, young men's church groups and the YMCA, Courtright said, but anyone may . nominate . and can get the blanks from the Jaycees by writing box 251, Medford. The Jaycees have been sponsoring the award for the past seven years, Courtright pointed out. It appears that our story about the sheep shearers standing the sheep on their heads during the shearing op eration in President Cleve land's time caused some folks to think we had changed our registration to Republi can. This is not true, and to make it balance, we'll tell an other true sheep story that happened in Hoover's time. A sheep man shipped a car load of fat lambs to Omaha, and next day received a wire telling him he owed a freight bill, as the sheep didn't bring enough to pay the freight. He wired back collect-have no money, but will send more sheep. Another story that might reflect politically is the fol lowing clipping, which un fortunately is not dated, and so far we have been unable to figure out who was Presi dent at the time. CORN REMOVER 4-H Club News Central Point Swine Club The January meeting of the Central Point 4-H Swine club was held at the Central Point school gym recently. We discussed 4-H week.

Head Librarian Omar Bacon said the viewers and reels were purchased because he has found them to be of great benefit to otner libraries throughout the country and feels they will be a good ad dition to the libraries in this county. Each branch will have one Viewmaster and approximate ly 60 reels and the main li brary will have two viewers and 60 reels. Bacon said the reels are different and will be rotated among the libraries so patrons of each will have a chance to see them all. The reels, which can be found in the children's section of each library, deal with dif ferent topics, he said, includ ing the states of the U.S., for eign countries, a Vanguard rocket launching, and various animals. They cost the library about S230 and were purchased from a local bookstore. Bacon pointed out that Viewmaster is a northwest product, made by Sawyer's Inc., Portland. ' The viewers are another step in Bacon's program of introducing new ideas and en larging the scope of the local libraries which came under his head last December. Eighty three per cent of U. S. brides start housekeeping in their, own quarters.
