Koell ner, of the Ace RoofiiiK com pany of Medford, submitted the low bid for roofing the Table Rock School house, now owned by the local Sun day school, and at last Sun day's session it was voted to accept the bid. Monday, an Ace roofing crew began op erations and the job was finished Tuesday evening. ' Wt were about to write of tome of our experiences with ikunki, but found a good story in the Oregon Farmer, written by a Mrs. Martha Ella Minnick of Central Point, Since she hasn't a phone we couldn't locate her, but will give some of the main points without her permission. Seems a skunk invaded the Minnick house about three o'clock in the morn ing, and was about 4 feet from the Minnick's bed. when they awoke. After some discussion as to gel ling him out. the head of the house decided to shoot him in a vital spot. Getting his gun. he fired, but evi dently didn't hit a vital spot, for the skunk, using his hind feel for a launching pad. unleashed all he had. After opening all the doors and windows, the family went to grandma's for breakfast, but soon found their welcome dwin dling, as the scent lingered on. This reminds us oi a re mark Earl Day made one day when he was county judge: "You'll never win a fight with a skunk. There is no use trying." He re ferred to a two - legged skunk. Only 51 votes were east at Sams Valley Monday at the school election, and only one voter from this community managed to get to the polls, nacording to Mrs. Elwood Ab bott, a member of the election board. Mrs. Mary Howsley of Table Rock and Walter O. Savage of Beaverton, Ore., were joined in matrimony April 13 at Lake Grove.

Riverside Medford, Oregon SP 2-545i MST SOONON - LO ICES - TEftMS - LAY WAY n a - -- - o Ore., by Virgil Savage, a Baptist minister, and son of Mr. Savage. After a ccast. they spent a day honeymoon on the Oregon ' visiting friends and rela tives here, leaving Tuesday for their future home on the Savage farm at Beaver ton, Ore. Their many friends here extend best wishes. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Nelson am' three children, of Win ston, Ore., and Miss Jean Nel son of Portland were recent visitors with home folks at the Guy Nelson home. Mrs. Jack Nelson was here to at tend the recent PTA con vention in Medford as a dcla gate from Douglas County, and Miss Jean was taking a vacation from her nursing duties. It seems to us rather amusing to hear a salesman on the radio telling ladies that if you don't watch your figure, no one else will, and makes us wonder where he got that. This brings to memory what Arthur Brown, one - lime state Grange deputy used to say: "A woman is as old as she looks, and a man is old when he quits looking." w Voters pamphlets for the Democrats, with 115 pages, have arrived here, and have been pigeon - holed for the present, to be vainly searched for later. Many candidates have large pictures displayed as an added appeal to voters. Some of the better - looking ones like Bob Duncan have two pictures. We hear that tne price of chewing gum is going up. and wonder if this will be figured in the next release of the cost of living. Our weather man has final ly admitted that his hind sight is much better than his foresight. The recent death of Mrs. Grover Nicewood in Med ford was a shock to her many friends here. The Nicewood family owned and lived for several years on what is now the Ed Taylor farm, and , were known as good neighbors, being greatly missed when they moved away. Mrs. Nicewood was a member oi the local ladies club. Since Caryl Chessman has paid in the gas chamber for his crimes, those who believe in the old Mosaic law of an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, should be satisfied, and the publicity and constant stream of news relative to Chessman should begin to simmer down. We feel like the warden who attended Chess man, that there is something wrong with our laws when the taxpayer can be made to pay this tremendous cost, and the convict be held in death row for some 12 years. He really served a life sentence, and got the gas chamber to boot. I ... The following is a true story of a happening on a close by farm, told by the neighbor lady. They kept sheep on the farm, and one day a man from the county agent's office (might have been Earle Jossy, she didn't know) stopped at the house and told her one of their sheep was down with the bloat. Said he didn't know much about sheep, but would do what he could to help. The lady took a trocar, and printed directions, and went with the agent to the distressed sheep. When about to use the trocar, the agent noted that according to the directions the sheep would have to be turned over to expose the correct place to tap. but when he turned it over it jumped up and started off running stiff-legged, and every time its feet hit the ground the escaping gas sounded like the backfiring of a Model T Ford. ' The would be degasser stood up holding the trocar and murmured as he watch ed the disappearing sheep, "Well. I'll be danged." This last word is a substi tute. The sheep with a heavy fleece of wool had laid down In a slight de pression and coulda't et up. ... Table Rock Ladies club will meet Wednesday, M.y 11. at the home of Mrs. Harold Sharp on Pumice Lane, with Mrs. Hobart Moore assisting. jzpBPgf .Newsj Gold Hill Committee Approves Budget By MARY KELL Mail Tribune Correspondent Gold Hill - The Gold Hill city budget committee met at the city hull Monday to com plete the 1960-61 city budget.

I Donald Morrow was pies-1 ent to represent the summer I recreation board of the com-1 munity to explain the funds appearing in the budget for the recreation project. He noted that S2U0 was the actu-: al financial expenditure of the i city, since the other $550 would be donated from civic organizations. The budget committee in deleting 55(10 from the budget and adding $500 to the budg et, left the total budget levy figure the same as the coun cil had proposed.

Following discussion, the committee voted to delete the $500 figure, leaving this item for repair and replacing of trucks estimated in the budget at $1,550 instead of $2,050 as set by the council. It was unanimously decid ed that $50 be added to the miscellaneous budget item to provide for the surety bond premium. This item had been overlooked in the original preparation of the budget. since the council had made up the budget figures it was found that a new motor will be needed for the lawn mow er. The committee agreed that $100 be added to the city hall and parks fund to cover cost and installation. The council in bilateral ac tion voted to add $350 to the original budget figure for recorder-treasurer salary,- and referred this to the budget committee as a whole. The committee voted in favor, thus raising the figure from $2,880 to $3,230. There were expense total, S31.344; less cash and receipts estimates, $19,740; gtneral fund levy needed, $11,604; bond and in terest levy. $1,575; total tax to rai.-e, $13,179.

Front door glasses at Evans' Mercantile store and Head's Super market were smashed with large stones and in both cases the rocks were found in side the buildings. The would-be burglars, ap parently a bit thirsty, then broke a window at the Happy Camp Liquor store. No entry was made at any o the three establishments. Siskiyou County Deputy Sheriff George Walters al ready has questioned at least one suspect and is checking the rocks for fingerprints. For Mother's Day (May 8th) start her toivard new adventures!
