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.

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

friends here extend best
wishes.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Nelson
am' three children, of Win

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."

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

Our weather man has final

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
