Eagle Point-Three redwood
T trees were planted last Thurs-
; day to start off the tree plant
Jng program being planned
and carried out within the
city limits of Eagle Point.
Chairman Dave Hannaford
' planted two of the trees
the present city park and one
'. on the site of the new Scout
t Community Center building
These trees were presented to
the city by C. C. 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

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

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."

Scout Community building
were poured last week and
approximately 1,000 expand'
ed shale blocks have been
purchased for the basement
walls. According to General
Chairman Harry Hanscom
actual construction work will
start this Saturday.
Anyone who can help at
that time Is asked to meet at
the building site at the north
end of North B st. at 1 p.m.
Because of a legal techni
cality, the building site had
to be changed with a location
nearer the park entrance, and
it was felt that a modification
of the original plans were
more beneficial in tne addi
tion of a half basement 26 by
30 feet.
Work on the park area It
self has been started with
leveling, cleaning up and
brush burning, according to
Chairman Donald Kimmel. He
stated they were ready for
volunteer help at this time
and that the crews would be
working on Saturdays and
Sundays during the after
noons as often as possible.
Drive to Resume
Hanscom said the building
committee would also be
working Saturday and Sun
day afternoons providing they
had enough money and neces
sary materials. The general
fund solicitation drive will be
resumed again shortly, In
hopes ot collecting part of
these funds. Anyone who
wishes to help either financial
ly or with material or labor
is asked to contact Hanscom
at HI 6-3852
Hanscom met with part of
the committee Saturday night
to discuss plans for laying out
work details and to report on
work already completed. He
stated that due to the mis
placement or loss of his com
mittee records, he was unable
to reach everyone who should
have been notified for this
meeting. He asked that organ
izations for their representa
tives and anyone else inter
ested to contact him immedi
ately and give him their
names and telephone numbers
so he can compile a new rec
ord.
The main purpose of the
building is for the youth or
ganization, but it will be avail
able for other organizations
and uses when not being used
by the younger set. Plans and
fund raising projects were
started last year and stopped
until all legal difficulties had
been ironed out.
