g MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. A F"dy March 25. 1960 Tablets By Table Rock-We were quite efated over the idea of getting items from Table Rock, writ ten some 46 years ago, and us ing them for our column. They would have been inter esting and would have given a true picture to our new comers of the social doings here in the by-gone days. But after searching the back is sues of the M.T. and watching with tired eyes the film spin around for an ' hour or two, and finding everything but what we were looking for, we gave it up for the time being. The clean-up day held by the Table Rock Sunday school last Thursday was well attended, and much was accomplished, but there is much more to be done, as the building and' grounds are in a rundown condition with leaks in the roof, faded and scaling paint, and fences in some places hay ing been lorn down and needing repair.' Much of the equipment in the building was put there by donations, including a 1,000-pound bell in the bel fry, a piano, six dozen chairs, wiring for lights, curtains and wings for the stage and - smaller items. Most of the money was raised by a local organiza tion, the Arrowhead Liter ary society, who' gave box socials, entertainments and plays. At one time $400 was taken in, but those buying boxes got them free, as they got war savings stamps for the full amount of the pur ' chases. A considerable amount of money was made with the play, "What Happened to Jones," that was given in many towns and communi ties of th valley, including Sams Valley, Eagle Point, Gold Hill, and Willow Springs. One of the new California members of Sams Valley Grange thought our new name for Bill Duggan's Land of Many Oaks was very appro priate Homes for Smog Stricken Californians. The report of livestock theft cases i n Tuesday's M.T. reminds us of old times here in the valley when a horse thief would just about be hanged, and more fuss would be made over the stealing of a hog than is made now over a bank rob bery. On of these hog stealing cases was being tried in th court at Jacksonville, and the accused's lawyer was trying to prove that his cli ent thought it was his hog. and there was some discrep ancy about which ear the swallow fork mark was in. Ed Wilkinson, an English man living in Medford, had seen th hog and was called ' to th witness stand. He was asked in which ear the mark was. Not to be trapped by an oily-tongued lawyer, he answered. "If you was iooking 'im in the eye, hit would be in the ngnt hear, but if you was looking 'im in the hind end. it would be th left." ' It took several raps of the gavel to restore order and proceed with the trial. ' Several local people attend ed the Dell Morrison funeral in Medford Tuesday. Mr. Morrison was a long time resi dent, of the east side of the community, where he and his wife, with diligence and hard work, built up a farming en terprise from scratch. A good neighbor, ever-ready and will ing to help out a fellow farmer in the pinches, he will be missed by many. We tender our sympathy to the bereaved members of the family. Th beautiful forsythia are in full bloom in many yards of th valley, but the wild turnip is fast coming into competition with the same color of bloom. We understand that several dairy herds and quotas in the valley are for sale. Some of the would-be sellers claim that there is too mucn regulation, and requirements are so stiff, that dairymen are being driv en out of the business. Reports indicate that Straus brothers, Sams Valley dairy men, have leased the Ed Tay lor farm land to grow corn for ensilage. -. Mrs. J. S. Richardson re turned Tuesday from sever al days spent in Portland. whr sh attended a rtird teachers' meeting as a dele gals and visited with son Donald and family.

Deuel has had active expe rience in conjunction with school board activities. He served the past two years on the budget board for District 6, the last year as secretary. Prior to this he was on the district's citizens' advisory committee for one year. Works with Board His association with school board affairs the past three years has given him an oppor tunity to work with Meyers and to know all principals of the different schools in the district personally, as well as to gain knowledge of the school system. Deuel was born in Med ford. He served in the Navy 1944-46, including 14 months on overseas duty in the Paci fic area. . Upon his return from the service, he entered the Uni versity of Oregon at Eugene in 1946. He was president of his living organization for two years and during his sen ior year at the university was president of the association of Greek students. He graduated Rural Reflections By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley-There are those that say everything is over-civilized these days, and that there isn't much freedom left - restrictions are every where, etc. - But at Mt. Shasta ski bowl several valley people driving there Sunday enjoyed prod ucts of civilization inter spersed with the true freedom of the wild. Who could deny enjoyment of the automobile and paved highway that takes them into the very snowy base of the majestic Shasta? There, by the mechanical in vention of man, thousands of skiers were lifted in a fantasy of fairyland to frightening heights from whence they scattered over the gleaming whiteness into mere specks like ants busy with nest build ing. Who could nor enjoy from the sundeck of the lodge the close-up of the skiers in sleek and colorful array as they made their home landing? Then a few miles below the ski area and after the last traf fic officer had been passed, there was room to park in provided areas, nestled against the cozy confines of high snow banks, and get out the contents of the "chuck wagon" and make the coffee from melted snow. Family dogs could plunge body deep into the soft crust ed snow, and oldsters could squeal to the top of their voice with the pain of a tobog gan upset. The very young adults were free to explore the far snowy slopes, some times sinking over their heads into the branches of trees buried in the snow. homecoming, she was held up for some tim on account of a man on th ledge of a high building who was threatening to jump off. He finally decided to walk down. . Farmers here are going full blast with cultivating of the soil and seeding of grain.

Following graduation, he returned to southern Oregon and became a partner and as sumed the- position of opera tion manager of the Del Rio orchards, growers, 'processors and shippers of pears. Besides his business inter ests, he has been interested for several , years with pro moting opportunities for chil dren and youth here in the Rogue valley. He was a mem ber of the group in 1951 that helped form ,the. Jackson county council for children and youth to promote. gainful employment for high school students who seek work after school hours, on Saturdays and during the summer months. Deuel has been director of the board for Jackson County Fruit Growers league two years and director of the Gold Hill Lions club for the past past two years. He assisted the Rogue Val ley Memorial hospital fund raising committee by taking charge of the drive in the Gold Hill area. Deuel and his wife Barbara moved from Medfqrd to the historic ranch home at the Del Rio orchard north of Gold Hill about four years ago. They are the parents of three youngsters, an eight year old daughter, Melissa, who is a second grade pupil at Patrick elementary school of District 6, another daughter, Dianne, age 41, and an infant son, Halbert S.
