o o o MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD, COE. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1960 Out on a Limb By BOB WALTERS Reception Set for Newcomers to EP Halt a Calf Gentleman Farmer John O whose wife Evelyn drops by the office occasionally write a story or two, took exception to my remarks last week about the garbage ' the mail box. ; ; i'Here," says Evelyn, dlp- ping Into her mammoth pocketbook and shoving wad of propaganda at me, "John says to stop complain Ing about your darned mail! :.' (In passing, I feel obligated to qualify the adjective used - bove in regard to Evelyn . pocketbook. Never before had I seen any as big as the ones he carries. It was just a few weeks ago, in fact, that all three little O's were reported absent from school. Guess where they found them?) But back to John's mall. .... The first item was about the size of the Saturday Eve- ring Post and was entitled "100 Best Fitting Formulas for Blue Ribbon Beef." Then there was a publication call ed Upper Rogue News, tractor parts catalogue, news bulletin from a pro ducer's cooperative, a publi cation from a feed manufac turer, the latest word about the poultry industry and little pamphlet about some thing called PreeWeen, '-'PreeWeen," the pamphlet (ays, "cuts the cost of raising calves in half." This came as quite a surprise, since I didn't even know people raised calves in half. Wonder what they do with 11 the other halves? Also in Mr. - O's mailbox were two post cards from a local auto repair shop. "Thank you," says one, "for letting us service your car. Come in again soon." "It's been 60 days," says the other, "since we serviced your car. Please bring your car in for service now." My, how the time do fly. I bow to Mr. O. on the mailbox issue but I think Farm Editor Jo Cowley has earned the right to the last word. "I'd like to see John and Evelyn and thalr (We thou sand talanUd turkeys atait a television program," he says. "Th.y could call It the George Gobble Show."

Rural Reflections II 1 AjQ If ztz rm-.?lr- Gkgional em Registration Set June 15 For GH Recreation Program Applegate Valley It was Memorial day. The place had a new cleanness born of lov ing hands-a cleanness of trimmed trees and raked-up twigs that was like a rain- washed morning. The pitcher pump had its place, a gray squirrel flashed here and there, and bird song swelled in the atmosphere. A wild rose gave of its pink color, and another rose spread its yellow bloom in hedge fashion. A bright flag rippled at a soldier's grave, and smart new curbings gave a dressed- up air. There were lots of flowers, but the little wild bouquets had special mean ing, No celebrities lie there, but the pioneers and those of eras since who have fulfilled God's mission of plain and everyday living. This is Log Town cemetery.
