Tablets By R. E. NEALON Kcorelbatretsim Table Rock-Of interest to local people was the recent sale of the Jim Glenn home and acreage to Norman Matte son, who has leased it to the Paul Read family of Biddle Lane. They will be moving in this week end. Read is em ployed by the Electronic Service Co. of Medford. There are three young children in the famliy. This home, built about 50 years ago, has been well kept, and is in a setting that furnishes an unsurpassed view of the two Table Rocks, woods along the river, and Mt. Mc Loughfin. The house and yard are one of the beauty spots of the community. The Lydiard house is the name this place is known as by old residents in this area, as the Lydiard family owned it and resided there for many years. A meeting lo discuss iht much talked of 23rd amend ment will be held Satur day night, March 26, at the Sams Valley Grange. Verne Shangle of Medford will speak for the amendment, and some one selected by the Grange lecturer will be the negative speaker. The meeting will be open lo the public, and anyone inter ested in hearing both sides of the issue discussed is in Tiled lo attend. Mr. and Mrs. Guy Nelson were among the 16 candidates who were given degrees at Sams Valley Grange at the Saturday night meeting, where some 70 members of valley Granges were in at tendance. After reading and listen ing as long as we have lo the Dr. Finch trial, the Caryl Chessman affair, and the death penally fuss in California, we thought this story of bygone days in California might be appro priate, and add a little weight lo one side or the other. It is recorded that in one California community a mob hanged a man for horse stealing, but later discover ed that he was innocent. I Lasting Barrier Against Crabgrass Mb M ' i ffcft -I Vv.

The following supposedly happened during World War II, and is an encounter our local merchant had with a prospective customer. A pompous little man in shorts, carrying a knapsack, came into what Ray at that time called his PX, and an nounced that he was a psy chiatrist with the Army at Camp White. "Do you know what a psy chiatrist is?" he inquired con descendingly. "Why, let me see," Ray re plied, looking at him with wide-eyed innocence. "Why, that there is an escaped luna tic, ain't it mister?" Then the psychiatrist asked Ray why a can of peaches cost 10 cents more at his PX than in town 40 miles away. Ray with one word answered "freight." When it was point ed out that the freight was only a few cents on a case of canned goods, he said blandly, "I've thought a lot about that too, but the only way I can explain it is freight. If you can do any better, go ahead." Our good neighbor lady gave us a pair of bantams, which we named John and Hassel. John does a lot of crowing, beginning at 4 o'clock in the morning. Has sel is more timid and quiet, but anyway it makes us feel like we are farming again lo be awakened so early in the morning. We feel sorry for our beard ed friend who lives on Greg ory road, near the Charley Hoover place, who has been losing his fryers. If it is a four legged thief, he should call Chis Hagler, the dog-catcher, who will tell him how to han dle the situation. Don Ryan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Ryan and member of the Crater High FFA, :s taking his prize - winning project record book to Pen dleton lhis week, where it will be entered in competi tion at the stale convention. If Don keeps on accumulat ing knowledge relative lo farming, in a few more years he will be qualified lo enter lhe real estate busi ness and sell farms like daddy Ray. Dan Matleson, another FFA member, is attending lhe convention loo. A new-comer to the Agate district was Samuel Douglas Glass, (weight 7 pounds, 4 ounces, dark hair and eyes of blue), born to Mr. and Mrs. Sam Glass, March 10 at Rogue Valley hospital. Daddy Sam, ex-marine and hatless hired man, has spent most of his life, except his service with Uncle Sam, farming in this commu nity. Mrs. Bert Pierce was hon ored Monday with a belated birthday parly at her home, attended by Mr. and Mrs. Ed Pierce and three sons, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Reisin ger and daughter. Rosalyn, 11 of Medford. We got our first check from the M.T. the other day and Bessie said right off, "Now we can get a new ribbon for Eric the typewriter." This paragraph in the minutes of a previous meet ing being read by lhe secre tary at lhe last meeting of lhe S.V. Grange caused a ripple of laughter: "We can expect an increase in at- School Superintendent Backs Plans for By MARY KELL Mail Tribune Correspondent Gold Hill Charles A. Mey er, superintendent of school District 6C, guest speaker at a meeting of the Gold. Hill PTA last Thursday evening in the Hanby school gymna sium, praised people of the Gold Hill area for their re sponse to a proposed summer recreation program that is being promoted here among local organizations. He said an activity that would keep chidren occupied during summer months would be an asset to the community, and he hoped that by another year the district and city here could share the development of a first-rate program for Gold Hill children. Gilbert A. Mack, principal of the Hanby and Patrick schools of District 6C, also ex pressed his appreciation to residents of this community for their interest and effort to promote a recreation program this year, which at this time is in the introductory stages. He named several civic groups besides the PTA which have announced that they will participate in the movement in various ways, depending on the ability of each individual group. These include the Gold Hill city council, Amethyst Rebe kah lodge 97, Gold Hill Lions club and Gold Hill Grange. Other groups have been in vited to assist with furthering the project. Mack satd Leon Myers, Hanby teacher and coach, has agreed to be available three hours, five days a week for six weeks. He has had consid erable experience in this type of activity. The district superintendent complimented the PTA for ap pointing a safety committee to investigate complaints of haz ards that could endanger the lives of school children in the community. He stated that he is also concerned about the danger which exists at rail road crossings, when box cars are parked so that the view of the school bus driver is blocked by possible on-com ing trains. He added that a similar problem exists for school bus drivers at the railroad cross ing in Central Point, adding that the school administrators are constantly concerned with the prevention of acci dents to youngsters. He appre ciates the efforts of persons who are concerned enough to investigate safety factors, he said. Mrs. Ogden Kellogg, PTA president, informed members that a request for correct in formation concerning a solu tion to the dangerous railroad situation and other factors has been presented to the pro per authorities for considera tion by the safety committee. This includes the study that is being done in regard to blind corners in the vicinity of the school. A more com plete report is expected at the April meeting of the PTA. The superintendent thanked patrons of the school for their support of the recent bond is sue, and explained the im provements which will take place at Patrick and Hanby schools as a result. He in formed the group that the budget hearing will be April 7 to give those who may have objections an opportunity to express them. The budget election will be held May 2. He stressed the importance of persons being legal registered voters. During the business session, members of the unit rescinded a motion passed at the Febru ary meeting favoring the pur chase of a typewriter for stu dents and teachers at Hanby as one of this year's PTA projects. Gilbert A. Mack, on behalf of the teachers, requested that this action be taken by the PTA because the teachers feel more people would benefit if funds for this purpose were made available to help fi nance the summer recreation program. The unit favored this sug gestion and also voted to do nate all net proceeds derived from the refreshments sold during the social hour to the summer recreation program. Program Regional News tendance now. since all the good programs on TV have been slopped." Mrs. J. S. Richardson left Wednesday for Portland to at tend as a delegate a meeting of the retired teachers asso ciation. While in Portland, she will attend a meeting of the OEA and visit relatives at the home of her son, Donald. We have recently had a sprouting up of political can didates in the home town. Norman Matleson would like lo be justice of lhe peace. Gold Hill district, and Ed Taylor would like lo sit in a commissioner's seal at lhe Court House. News of the death of Rich ard Neuberger came as a sud den shock to friends here. We had recently received his use ful interesting letter, in which he explained that he filed for re-election only after his doc tor gave him a clean bill of health. His virtues are so many that the task of enumerating them would be too great. A tireless worker, always putting prin ciple above politics, with mal ice toward none, he will be sorely missed in Oregon, the place of his birth, and through the nation. To those who knew him personally, the loss will be more keenly felt. TEST DRIVE THE New Corvair vr Courtesy Chevrolet 9th and Bartlett Sts. Phone SP 2-6115 Prove To Yourself the . . .

(Mrs. Kellogg announced the following day that $63.23 were the net proceeds derived from the gross amount of $70 that was taken in from the sale Thursday evening. There were expenses for such mis cellaneous items as paper cups, punch and coffee.) Mrs. C. Norman Gail an nounced another fund raising project which will help fi nance the proposed recreation program. Amethyst Rebekah lodge will donate all proceeds derived from a luncheon and card party which is slated for Wednesday, March 23 begin ning at noon at the IOOF hall on Fourth ave. She said the public is invited, and those who wish may make up then- own party for the afternoon. Those who want to may tele phone UL 5-1124, Mrs. Vera Stewart, noble grand of the organization, to notify in ad vance. However, this is not ne cessary, she added. The following slate of offi cers presented by the nomi nating committee and elected: Mrs. Jerry Herrington, presi dent; Mrs. Lester Wakeman, vice president; Mrs. Frank Stanton, secretary; and Wal ter Doherty, treasurer. Final action will be taken at the April meeting in regard to changing the PTA meeting night from the second Thurs day of eacn month to the sec ond Monday, which apparent ly was favored by those at tending the March meeting. The third Thursday was also suggested. The change of meeting nights was put before the group for consideration be cause the second Thursday conflicts with the Gold Hill Lions club meeting night, and several members who have youngsters in school are also members of the Lions club.
