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

teach the way they know it
should be done, owing to re
strictions by the state board.
Also, the buildings must meet

state, regardless of expense,
or that the taxpayers who fur
nished the money may be liv

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.

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. Permission was granted
to use the fire truck with a
fireman to wet down the
bricks Saturday afternoon be
fore the crew starts laying
the basement. Don Kimmel in-

ing and enlarging of the en
trance road to the park site.
A lengthy discussion was
held in regards to the new
fire alarm system and all of
the false fire alarms that have
been turned in. City Attorney
Hornecker agreed to write to
the public utilities commis
sion for further information
and suggestions.
C. C. Hoover appeared on
behalf of the Eagle Point
Grange and donated 100 blue
spruce trees for the city to
place as they see advisable.
Hoover also informed the city
of the Grange's recent project
