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.

By MARY KELL
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Gold Hill-Halbert S. Deuel
Jr., well known Gold Hill

orchardist, has filed a petition
accepting the nomination as
candidate for a five-year term
as director on the District 6

C. Norman Gail, present

Charles A. Meyer, superin
tendent of District 6 schools,
made the announcement. He
said deadline date for filing is

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

on overseas duty in the Paci
fic area. .
Upon his return from the

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.

science degree.
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.

youngsters, an eight year old
daughter, Melissa, who is a

Copco Gels Permit
To Use County
Land for 3 Years
By KATHERINE CHAPMAN
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Hornbrook-At a meeting of
the Siskiyou county board of
supervisors Tuesday, a use
permit was issued to the Cali
fornia Oregon Power Co. for
a period of three years at the
rate of $1 a year on county
owned land on a railroad spur
at Hornbrook.
The land will be used for
equipment unloading and stor
age during construction of the
Iron Gate dam on the Klam
ath, eight miles above Horn
brook near Copco. Copco will
level and improve 'the land
and, if finished with it before
three years, will relinquish
the lease.
In other business, the board
voted to fence the city dumps
at Hornbrook, Grenada and
Gazelle. The work is to be
done by jail labor. The fenc
ing is to prevent the blowing
of trash over the landscape,
and will reduce the fire haz
ard. Also the Siskiyou county
road department announced
Monday that effective imme
diately the Copco road will
be. subject to closures for as
long as one hour in duration.
These closures will be caused
by construction going on up
the Klamath river and will
not be a regular schedule.
They will continue until
further notice. v
