. CHARRED REMAINS After two serious
fires, Jacksonville's historic Britt house is
little more than a fire-charred skelton. The
old home will be destroyed prior to June 1,
according to a recent agreement between
the Jacksonville city council and Southern
Oregon college, owner of the house. Both
the council and college agreed the house is
a safety hazard and must come down.
Community Club Names New
Officers; Rombach President
Phoenix New officers for
the Phoenix Community club
were elected and installed
Monday night in the Phoenix
Community clubhouse.
Voted in unanimously were
Bill Rombach, president, Mrs.
George McCray, secretary,
and Mrs. J. D. Lubbers, treas
urer. . No nominations were
made from the floor.
The new president an
nounced that another meeting
would be held Monday, May
2, at 8 p.m. in the clubhouse
to get the year's plans under
way. "I hope to get better ac
quainted with everyone in
this community since I have
not lived here very long. One
thing I want to change soon,
with your approval, is the
practice of holding only four
meetings a year," Rombach
said. "Meeting like this is not
adequate to keep interest
alive in something as vital as
this club should be to the com
munity." Mora Meetings
Rombach said he planned to
set up more frequent meetings
for the next three or four
months although this is the
busiest time of the year for
everyone.
"We have a lot of things
started, but they were never
completed," he remarked.
We don t have any money-
making projects although the
club is in good financial con
dition. However, you have to
spend it and then replace it
to get anything done. And a
few people can't do it all. The
. more people we can get to
come .to the meetings the
better."
Rombach discussed the pos
sibility of establishing a neighbor-to-neighbor
system of noti
fying everyone in Phoenix of
meetings and club events.
This, however, will be worked
out later.
Support Needed
The retiring president, Al
len Harris, turned the club
records over to Rombach and
remarked, "We have had a lot
of fun while I was in office
and some disappointments,
but with good support I'm
sure the community club can
be made into a going thing."
Mayor Arthur MacKintosh,
retiring club treasurer, turned
his books over with the club
funds and suggested that an
audit be made to protect both

Opposes Dog Law
Applegate Valley The Ap
plegate farm bureau will op
pose leashing of all dogs in
Jackson county, which will be
one of five dog law proposals
on the May ballot, according
to a decision of the group
made at a meeting at the
home of the president, Martin
Grier, Thursday.
Members felt that many of
the . dogs are invaluable as
farm helpers, that the meas
ure would limit effective
watch dogs, and that there is
no need to penalize farmers
due to the nuisance caused by
dogs in more populated areas.
Members also went on rec
ord as favoring a state wide
system of electric dial weigh
ing scales at auction and sales
yards as now are used in Mon
tana. The group also favored
having existing scales cleaned
and balanced every hour dur
ing a sale.
The local bureau, organized
in February, has a member
ship of 17, and in order to
strengthen the membership
each person is expected to
bring several prospective
members to the May 12 meet
ing.

Blue Bonnet?
This business of picking a
name for our sports car has
gotten out of hand. To begin
with, we hadn't planned to
give it a name at all. It
seemed adequate to refer to
it as simply a car.
Enter Society Editor Olive
Starcher, shoeless (when driv
ing) owner of a Triumph
named Doll T.
"What," she questioned,
only a few minutes after we'd
driven it off the dealer's lot,
"have you named it?"
"Named it?" we countered.
"Does it have to have a
name?"
"Of course," says Potpourri
with a withering glare.
"In that case," we said, "its
name is Ralph."
"Ralph?"
That name obviously
didn't go over too well, al
though City Hall Reporter
Greg Noket has since re
fused to call it anything
else. He's a minority of one,
however.
.
Then, after a brief encoun
ter with one of Medford's
Finest ("Goes along nicely,
doesn't it?" said the cop as he
handed us a ticket), we named
it Remember B.R. The initials
stand for Basic Rule.
"You should call it VBR,"
says Church Editor Peg Hut
chinson. "That's how the po
lice mark a speeding citation
in their records. It means Vio
lation of Basic Rule."
This suggestion was nixed
because it wouldn't be fair to
the car. It shouldn't have to
spend the rest of its life with
stigma like that lust be
cause it got one measly speed
ing ticket.
We say "it" got the ticket
for good reason. When the
officer pulled us over, we
were en route to a hospital.
The young lady in the pas
senger's seat had lust suf
fered a heart attack and we
were racing against time to
save her lite.
She passed away while
the cop was writing the
ticket, Pity.
Anyway, that's another
story.
Next came E.A., who de
livered his suggestion in the
form of a poem: "Oh little
Blue Bonnet, Come toot your
horn. A cop's in the way.
Show him your scorn. Oh
little Blue Bonnet, Body of
tin. Skid like your namesake
of margarine."
Blue Bonnet was an ideal
name, he said, because the car
is blue and the hood of a
sports car la referred to as
a bonnet. This also would im
press young ladies, he added,
by making them think I was
dating Brigitte Bardot. He
even provided some sample
dialogue:
She: Where were you last
night?
Walters: (casually) Oh, I
was out with BB.
She: (terribly impressed)
Ohhhhll
Digging even deeper, he
said we could call it MM.
Which doesn't stand for
Marilyn Monroe, but for
Merely Margarine.
These, and a few other sug
gestions we don't care to re
peat, have been tossed at us
during the past two months.
We still haven't named it.
Why?
We're waiting for a sug
gestion from the U.S. National
Bank.
After all, it's their car.
We just drive it.
