Don Avery and Bill Ealy, county super visors, were present along with Al Powers, county road commissioner. Powers assured members that they would move the county construction crew in to rebuild and reline Indian Creek road as soon as the right-of-way situation was cleared up. It seems some of the property owners were not willing to donate land for this project and the county is in no position from a financial standpoint to buy the right-of-ways. The road committee prom ised to call on all property owners concerned and secure deeds if possible. In the in stances where they fail they are to report to Powers, who in turn will present the prob lem to the supervisors, who promised to build a good road as far as they can with the money available. Money Not Listed No specific amount of money was mentioned for the project but In as much as they Intend to use the regular county construction crew it was generally believed they could do four or five miles this year. After lunch, a delegation of people who live in the vicinity of Live Oak drive and Buckhorn Lodge road ar rived and requested oil on their roads for relief of dust. Powers and Hammond, road foreman, promised to do this between June 15 and July 1. Rural Reflections By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley - A num ber of gals have got into dilemmas lately. Whether the officers should wear pedal pushers for the barbecue din ner extension ladies had in Cyrena Davis' spacious picnic area along Rogue River when they would be receiving cor sages posed a problem. But (he wearing of dresses pre vailed. Thclma Jones was faced with another perplexing. temp tation the same day when she was asked as a practicing host ess to gather grasses and wild flowers for the outdoor tables when loads of lilacs were sit ting around in bouquets. So she mixed the grasses, butter cups, and lilacs with nice results. Kay Kammerer was getting ready to bait her hook with little balls of cheese in antici pation of a Squaw Lake trout, when a visiting dog named "Lady" ate up the cheese. Kay said she just was not used to dogs, and would have laid a beef steak down in the same manner. i Out on i a Limb By BOB WALTERS A Large Squash Almost anyone can write a book and have it published nowadays. All they need is a little extra cash. Numerous firms specialize in publishing books written by unknown authors. The writer, naturally, has to foot the bill for printing, distri bution, publicity and so on. Although no one may ever buy a copy of his book (which is the case most of the time, I suspect), the author can truthfully say he has written a book, it has been published and It has been read - by the proofreader, if no one else. The results of these do-it-yourself efforts, addressed to "Book Review Editor," are received regularly by most newspapers. The Mail Trib une, fortunately perhaps, has no book reviewer, thus most of the volumes eventually wind up in someone's circular file. I got to feeling sorry for all these authors who pour ed the blood, sweat and tears of their lives into their literary works, only to have their books cast aside by sardonic editors, often without so much as a glance. So today I'll be a book reviewer. (There goes Great While Father waving that severance paycheck at me again.) One volume which should tug at your heartstrings is en titled "Struggle for Justice" and, the jacket says, is the story of "an immigrant's life as a farmer in Saskatchewan and apartment house builder in Los Angeles." It s written by the one and only Abe L. Plotkin and, not surprisingly, contains numer ous photographs of Abe L. Plotkin. Don t miss it . Another book received recently looks like it might have to be sold under the counter. On the Jacket is a photograph of a well-proportioned young lady sil ling on a couch. She's clad only in a slip and is busily rolling down her stockings. It's entitled "How I Made a Million Dollars." But don't jump to any conclusions. It's written by men. Try and figure that one out. The real classic, though, ar rived Saturday morning. It's I called "1,200 Russian Prov erbs." This slender little volume . it packed with some truly pro found thoughts, a few of , which I'll pass along. Inter-1 pret them as you like. "Not every flower is a I rose." "A small cantaloupe Is worth more than a large squash." (You might check that one with the Big Y.) "Old mice like fresh lard." "Marriage is the worst pun ishment." (For what?) "It Is better to be the ham mer than the nail." "Physicians don't grow rich from the people's health." Who trusts a woman might as well trust the weather." - "Dogs bark, but people don't listen." (Anyone for an ordinance?) "No chicken will slip out of a boiled egg." If you don't close the door in the evening, you can't open it in the morning. But the most pertinent of the little Kremlin Kom ments is probably the last one in the book. Consider ing the U2 "incident" end the summit talks which never left the valley, it ap pears Mr. Khrushchev eith er hasn't read It or just places no stock in it. It goes like this: "Preise loudly and blame softly." Regional Calendar Yreka Greenhorn Grange will celebrate Its 42nd an niversary this Saturday with its annual Strawberry Supper. It will be an open meeting for Grangers and invited guest. Tiller-Drew The annual Tiller-Drew school picnic will be held at the school this Fri day. PTA DONATES FUNDS Yreka At its meeting Thursday, the Yreka Elemen tary PTA voted to give $200 toward upkeep of the recrea tion center. The money will he used tor electrical wiring already installed and to help wish ciUids appearances.
