Hoover, J service project chairman tor .. the Eagle Point Grange. Hannaford stated that globe headed European trees have been ordered for planting along West Main st and are being donated by the businessmen who will help care tor them. Full-Seal Plan The Garden club is being approached to lay out a full' scale plan for the entire city to follow in hopes of having each street planted with a di ferent type of tree to form pattern and enable iiagl Point to retain its natural beauty along with its pioneer cow-town atmosphere while developing Into a larger city. North Carolina poplar trees were purchased and planted by Mrs. William (Mattic) Brown In about 1919 and wa tered for several years all along West Main st., the city park and East Main st. These trees were responsioie tor inc printed descriptions of Eagle Point as a small outstanding town of beauty built along one of those beautiful streams that artists have tried to cap ture in their paintings and surrounded by a mountainous background. A few years back, when Eagle Point started its growth and development, streets were necessary so the trees were removed to prevent damage to the pavement by the roots. Mrs. Brown stated that people still take refuge under the two big poplar trees still remaining next to NOW AT IT PAYS TO PHOTO SHOP 5 '-' 1 75cVe I Kodcoiott'n you, I If II ". lit A Wedneiday, April , 1 0 Tree - Planting Beautify City their old store on North C st. during hot summer months. Soma Trees Dying The Jackson county horti culturist has advised that no more trees should be planted in the city park until some of the dying trees could be re moved due to the overcrowd' cd root system now prevail ing. He plans to go over the plans submitted by the garden club and a landscape areni' tect also will help evaluate the plans before action is tak en next year. Because of the late season for planting, noth ing more will be planted until next year, following the planting of the 11 ash trees this year. Laying out a plan for the city's trees will fit in with the community service project the Grange has laid out from Villas rd. to the timberline for aerial view tree planting Redwood De Molay Sets Meet, Dance Illinois Valley The Red wood chapter of the Order of De Molay will host other chapters from throughout the district at a business meeting and dance in Kcrhy this Sat urday.

Main Medford DEBS Out on a Limb By BOB WALTERS Handy Fillers When reading a newspaper, this one or any other, you've undoubtedly come across those one-paragraph bits of miscel laneous information known as "fillers." You'll usually find them where you'd least expect. Say you're reading a story about the situation In India. Sudden ly there's a short dash and a paragraph saying "An aver age farm in Nebraska has about 1.000 acres." They're called fillers for good reason. Some are local news items and some are just miscellany the printers keep in stock to fill small spaces when a story isn't quite long enough. They may seem incongruous (which they usually are) to most readers, but, if used properly, they can come in handy during conversations on just about any subject. Try memorizing a few and then dropping them nonchalantly the next time you're at i party. Sine this Is an election ytar, the talk at many gath erings will center around politics. After the various good and not-so-good points about Nixon, Kennedy, Humphrey, ot al, have been exhausted there may be a lull in the chatter. Bui you keep the conversation ball rolling by saying: "Dwighi Eisenhower is one of seven brothers." Or maybe you and your spouse are out to dinner with nother couple and no one can decide wnat to order. Again you leap to the rescue with: Tripe and onions are exotic with the addition of sour cream ana sucea ai monds." ... Suppose some friends are showing you around the new home they've Just pur chased. They guide you through the living and din ing rooms and then proudly point to the modernistic tile in their new bathroom. Are you stuck for a com ment! Mope, you just glance around knowledgeably and sayi "About 95 per cent of the world's bathtubs are in the United States." ... Perhaps you run In to a friend with a new baby. Naturally, he or she will bombard you with photo graphs of the tyke. You could use the standard lines such as 'Gee, isn't he exile" or "He certainly looks like his fath er," but for a real clincher, try this: "A flash bulb for under water photography has a flash so brief that it will not startle fish." ... Maybe someone calls you on the phone. Juit as both of you run out of things to say. you amaie your listen er with this linei "Marconi sent a wireless message across the Atlantic in 1901." Say you're at your bank, writing a check. Suddenly the bank's pen refuses to write The teller flushes with em barrassment but you brighten his day with this comment: "The fountain pen was In vented In about 1884." ... Of course we all have at least one acquaintance who constantly complains o! some illness or other. After listening to a detailed des cription of his latest physi cal troubles, you sayi "About 400,000 persons are 111 of pneumonia in the U.S. each year." ... All this, we hope, has gone to prove that there's some useful purpose for everything that appears In your daily newspaper. It's Just a matter of making the most of the information which is placed at your fingertips. If there's still some doubt In your minds, we leave you with these words of wisdom: "Try an egg poacher to heat l the baby's food."
