Qllt Oil
a Limb
By BOB WALTERS
A story submitted the other
day by Viola Rogers, our Tiller-Drew
correspondent, made
us a little curious.
The story, which appeared
on this page Friday, said nine
Cub Scouts of Troop 91 had
entertained at last Tuesday's
meeting of the Tiller-Drew
PTA. The boys explained the
Cub Scout program and con
cluded by giving what is
known in Cub jargon as a
"grand howl."
Pretty routine, actually, ex
cept that one of the Cubs was
identified as "Charlie Porter."
After all, it is an election
year, and maybe . . .
Naah, it couldn't be.
The script writer for one
of the terrorvision programs
shown locally must have
gotten his priv&le eye writ
ing assignments confused
with his westerns.
Rory Calhoun, hero of
"The Textn." had just ven
tilated one of the town's
belter-known citizens and
was inquiring placidly
about where he might hang
his 45s for the night.
"You'll have to pay cash
for anything you get in this
town," snarled a bystander.
"That's all right by me."
Calhoun replied coldly.
"I've never had a charge
account."
... so he finished his
Martini, slipped behind the
wheel of his Jaguar and
drove slowly in to the sun
set. Headed, of course, for his
split-level home in the sub
urbs. The Central Point Jaycees
handled their awards banquet
smoothly Thursday night, but
we do have a suggestion.
Why not nominate at least
three persons, instead of only
two, for the Distinguished
Service award? (
A winner feels fine regard
less of how many other candi
dates there are, but a loser,
if he had some company, cer
tainly would feel a lot less
embarrassed.
So would the audience, for
that matter.

Rural Reflections
By MAUDE ZIEGLER
Applegate Valley A farm
er of the Upper Applegate has
been doing little fancy math
in order to convince his wife
that his $200 power steering
on his tractor is not too ex
pensive. He says it costs him
only 25 cents a week.
P. S. Considering the nice
bouquet handed this column
in the Bob Walters depart
ment last week, all due credit
should go to Helga Mitchell,
who started the idea in the
Applegate-Jacksonville news
column four years ago. Helga
it at home nowadays at the
Bear Creek plant by winter
and at Squaw lake by sum
mer, no doubt in the mean
time adding unto her plans
for writing a book oriwo and
a column of her own someday.

Council Discusses
Pollution Problems
By DORIS HUGHES
Central Point A delega
tion of citizens attended last
week's Central Point city
council meeting to discuss air
pollution and fall-out from
the burners of the Central
Point area.
Ed Collins of the Mt. Piit
company discussed instruc
tions and suggestions given
by the state air pollution
board following an inspection
in November. He discussed
with the council improve
ments which he had made,
including new grates for the
burner.
He mentioned writing to
them a month ago to get an
other performance. An air
pollution test was made from
the top of Rogue Valley
Creamery, results of which
revealed too much ash falling
in the area, he said.
The Council expressed ap
preciation to Collins for his
cooperation in attempting to
help solve the problem. Fur
ther consideration of the prob
lem will be taken up at the
next meeting of the council.
Bacon Attends
Omar Bacon, head librarian
at the Public Library of Med
ford and Jackson county, and
Mrs. L. Mentzer, chairman of
the Jackson County Library
board, attended the meeting.
Also attending were Mrs. Don
Faber and Mrs. R. D. Kay of
the Central Point Garden
club.
Under discussion was a re
quest to keep the Central
Point library open 30 hours
per week. The council voted
to send a letter to the county
court asking for a longer
period of open doors at the
library.
Bacon presented personal
library cards to Mayor Free
man Mason and council mem
bers and answered their ques
tions concerning new policies.
Legal action was taken by
the council to clear the title
of the property owned by the
Central Point Church of

Christ. In January of 1946, at
the time of the purchase of

the church was not incorpor
ated. Request Approved
Another action taken was
approval by the council of a
request to furnish water to
the hospital.
Vernon Capps and Lyle
Paull were instructed by the
mayor to make a study of the
necessity of establishing a
policy concerning the filling
of excavations crossing city
streets. The settling of such
excavations, when not prop
erly filled, has been a cause
of complaints by residents. It
was agreed that anyone dig
ging across the street should
leave it in as good a condition
as he found it.
The next regular meeting
of the council will be at 7:30
p.m., March 1, at the city
hall.

ing on water problems spon

cuss the several methods by
which they can be financed,"
he added.
