Work Nears Completion on
Community Hall in Butte Falls
By MARY JO HARRIS
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Butte Falls-Three lots, one
purchased from the Town of
Butte Falls for $25 and the
other two donated by Med
ford corporation, were the be
ginning of the Butte Falls
Community hall. After many
hours of planning and dis
cussion by many people the
project finally got underway
In 1959.
The Community Hall club
was granted an incorporation
certificate Feb. 1, 1955. First
meeting was held May 3 of
that year at the high school
and officers elected were
Charles A. Jenkins, president;
E. A. Morlcy, vice president;
R. H. Tracy, secretary; and
Mrs. Charles (Red) Capello,
treasurer.
Much of the material and
equipment needed to start
work on the building was do
nated by Medford Corpora
tion. Many hours of work
were donated by volunteer
labor. Women of various or
ganizations served coffee and
doughnuts and potluck din
ners on several occasions to
men working on the hall. Bill
Edmondson made the cedar
and sugar pine shinges at his
steam shingle mill for the
roof and siding.
Organizations contributing
funds to the Community Hall
fund include the Butte Falls
Lions club and Auxiliary,
Butte Falls Grange, and the
former Mt. Pitt club. Approxi
mately $400 was donated
through the Bill Thomas Me
morial Flower fund.
Needed for Years
The town of Butte Falls
had felt the need of a building
for community use for many
years. The original idea was

roots and keeps down the insect pop

chores for two strong men, Mom?
More and more folks are coming lo us for advice on Improving their
lawns through an easy-to-follow Scotts Progiam for Western lawns.
We'll be glad to prescribe the correct Program for your lawn.

BUTTE FALLS COMMUNITY HALL
Work May Be Completed This Year
that the hall be built primari
ly for the children of the
community. Recreation being
a scarcity, the thought was to
have a place where teen-agers
might hold dances, roller
skate and have various social
activities. The adults, too,
could put the hall to good use
for organization meetings,
projects, storage for organiza
tion property and roller skat
ing. Dedication ceremonies were
held Dec. 19, 195B at the hall.
Following the potluck supper,
a program was held, during

Table Rock - A large crowd
of Grangers from many of i
the county Granges gathered (
at the Sams Valley Grange
hall Saturday night to help
the Sams Valley members
celebrate the 35th annivers
ary of their Grange, and to
honor some nine past masters.
Among the past masters was
Mrs. O. T. Wilson of Central
Point, who served a short
term, being appointed to fill
a vacancy, shortly after the
Grange was organized. Other
past masters honored were
Elwood Abbott, Jerry Fitz
gerald, Ralph James, Bill
Duggan, Herman Priein,
Charles Hockersmith, R. E.
Nealon, and Albert Straus,
who had served seven terms.
There were only four present
who signed the charter 35
years ago. They were Abbott,
Straus, Mrs. Wilson and
Nealon.
Victor Croxton, lecturer,
opened one of his usual highly
entertaining programs with a
short address, telling the
many benefits farmers have
received through the Grange,
and concluded by saying that
the Grange is the oldest farm
organization in the U.S. and
the only fraternal farm or
ganization in the world.
Short talks were made by
visiting masters and other
dignitaries, and county zoning
was discussed by Charley
Hoover and Bill Duggan. Both
speakers, while disagreeing
on some points, were agreed
that zoning should be a local
matter, not to be regulated
by a county zoning commit
tee. Both believe that zoning
will be here, as the city peo
ple are for it, and they out
number the rural population,
so we should make a careful
study of it and be ready to
combat any features that
would be detrimental to our
Interests.

George Loftin, of the Beagle

he says is out of this world,
which time the hall was dedi
cated. The hall is known as the
Bill Thomas Community Hall.
A plaque was presented to
Mrs. Thomas in memory, of
her late husband. His inter
est and inspiration contrib
uted much towards getting
the project underway.
Mr. Thomas was a former
wods superintendent for Med
ford Corporation and was con
stantly working for the be
ginning of a community hall.
Mrs. Thomas was also pre
sented a lifetime membership
to the Bill Thomas Communi
ty hall. The Thomases were
long-time residents of Butte
Falls and shortly following
the death of her husband, Mrs.
Thomas and her daughter
moved to Medford where they

believes in both, but thinks
that in county like Jack

thinks a city area tone
won't work in a farming
area, that such areas should
be soned and regulated by
the people living there. In
other words, they should
have home rule. In that way
they could have their own
inspectors, and a say oi
what they want or don't
want in the tone.
The Hoovers and others
who are petitioning for a

the people wanted or didn't
want in their tone. Some
things they don't want are
garbage or disposal plants,
