r MAIL TRIBUNE, Medlord, Or. . Tabic Rock-We nolc that the Jackson County Farm Bu reau is opposed to federal aid to schools due to restric tions and government control which they say it would en tail. We wonder why some of their members who use gobs of federal money to fix up their farms are not afraid of Uncle Sam controlling their farms. On of our Democratic friends from the tall timber in the Trail aria says he likes Kennedy, but is afraid he can't beat Nixon and, according to him, if Nixon It elected we had just at well turn the country over to the communists. Anoth er friend from the same re gion is going to vote for Wayne Morn. He says no one will be telling him what to do. Among recent visitors here were Mrs. Emma Houston, of Trail, and Mrs. Josephine Cornutt, of Kanes Creek, whn visited relatives at the R. E. Nealon heme. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Robin son were week and visitors with relatives in Vallejo, Calif. "Happy," the collie dog on the Guy Nelson farm, it seems Is fond of doing things to jmake people happy, such as going to lie paper rjox ana Jgetting the M.T. when the Jbox is fixed so he can get Z hold of the paper.

Also, the buildings must meet specifications put out by the state, regardless of expense, or that the taxpayers who fur nished the money may be liv ing In tents. We quite agree with Shir ley that there is much money spent on buildings and the changing of books that might be saved and there is some thing the students are missing in that they show little initia tive, and common everyday problems are hard for them to solve. During a hay sale, we asked a high school stu dent to figure out the bill. There were a number of bales with an average weight per bale, and the price was $22 a ton. After using a sheet of paper, he still didn't have the answer, while the buyer, a man from Oklahoma, without a pencil, had the answer in a few seconds. ... Th following story it not a reflection on th studenli of today, but w jutt re membered th incident.

The son of th farm owner had tak an part in th conversation that usually goes on in a harvest crew. H was a rather awkward looking fellow, and talked through his nose. W don't know why. as his mouth looked big enough to answer the purpose. When h started for th house, on of th craw that knew him said h had gon to business college, and he wished he had his education. Ot Shields, th header puncher, turned and look ad as h amblsd toward th housa, and said, "I wouldn't mind having his aducatlon, but I would hat to hav to get along with his in telligence."

We Will Deliver Your lime Spread en Your Field ' Writ Us for Free Copy of "100 Questions and Answer on Liming land" Engineers To Install By DOTTIE HARBISON Mail Tribune Correspondent Eagle Point - Clark and Groff Engineers of Salem were hired Tuesday evening by the Eagle Point city coun cil for the sewage lagoon sys tem being installed for the city. Clark met with the council at its meeting Tuesday and laid out his proposal, stating the items that his firm would cover and handle and giving the councilmen a sample of the drawings that would have to be made and the necessary surveying that would have to be done before the actual con struction work could be start ed. Clark answered several questions from the council men. Estimated time for the completion of the sewer, he said, would be approximately 4 to 6 months after the sale of the bonds and construction actually started. Clark told the councilmen they could get federal aid for the sewer project. The bill to increase this aid was de feated but the previous as sistance was still available. Clark said his firm would help compile a brochure which would help in the sale of the bonds and also help in the development of the city. With more construction and more homes built within the city, he said, the sewer will pay for itself much faster and dis tribute the load over a larger percentage of the people. Clark also gave assurance that the bonds could be sold. Loan Application The city council has ap plied for an $11,000 loan from the federal agency which will be paid back without interest for the purpose of enabling the engineering to start im mediately prior to sale of the bonds. Mrs. Joseph Munshaw ap peared at the meeting to in quire about the status of the new pool hall opened in the city. The majority of the councilmen felt it better to have the youngsters under a supervised recreation pro gram than put parking in cars and it was voted to allow lB-vear-old youths to play with a written consent. No one under 16 will be permit ted on the premises. Youths 17 and over may play without permission and the owner will be responsible to see that the age limit is enforced. There is to be 119 gambling or hard drinks and Deputy Sheriff Chastaln will help keep it palroled. Representatives from the Scout Community Center building were present to re-, port that work was started on the building and the poison oak removed from the prem ises.
