Glamour
Table Rock-Several from
here attended the graduation
exercises at Crater HiKh
Thursday evening when the
following from Table Rock
donned cap and gown: Don
Ryan, Linda Doran, Glenna
May Brown, Byron Rominger,
Bob Arbogast, and Larry Ton
er, Miss Dcanna Hull was
among those graduating at
Medford High, Tuesday eve
ning.
The Doran family, Ray,
Ellon, and daughter Linda,
spent the week end at Dia
mond Lake, and got sun
burns and three fish, ac
cording to Mrs, Doran.
Last Monday evening, with
our better half, we attended
the annual meeting of the
Southern Oregon Historical
Society as guest of Mr. and
Mrs. C. C. Hoover. During an
expertly cooked chicken din
ner, which was made more
appetizing by instrumental
music, we noticed many fa
miliar faces of pioneers we
had known in the past.
Among them was Millie
Walker, prominent Granger of
Gold Hill, Seth Bullis of Med
ford, and Mr. and Mrs. E. H.
Hedriek, also of Medford, and
many others. Hedriek taught
school in Central Point for
several years, then in Med
ford, until he taught the pop
ulation all lie knew, and then
retired.
Later, we listened to a pep
py talk by Frank Jenkins,
editor of the Klamath Herald.
We were surprised, as Jenkins
didn t look to us as the man
who writes the column in the
Mail Tribune. As he started
his talk, he seemed a little
jumpy, and appeared some
what embarrassed, until ap
plause began to break out,
then he warmed up, and made
a wonderful talk on the State
of Jefferson, which was to
have been the southern part
of Oregon, and the northern
part of California.
Strong on glamour, he could
see It in this area, everywhere
he looked. Our likes, rivers,
mountains, parks buildings,
roads and even our people,
everything seemed to be drip
ping with glamour, but the
sad part ot it is, according to
him, that we are not taking
advantage of it by getting
more tourists to visit here.
and stay longer, and bring in
to tiic area more than a mil
lion new dollars each year.
By reading his column we
had taken him to be a hard-
shelled Republican, but had
noticed of late that he had
softened a bit, and was not by
any means the Nixon type.
This was confirmed when he
said in answer to our query
about his politics, "I am a
Republican, but have seen
many Democrats that I liked
better than some Republicans
I know."
We were among several
from here who attended the
40th wedding anniversary
of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Vincent
at the Col. Fred Greene
home. Among the numerous
friends we met there were
members of the S. C. Col
lins family, all being pres
ent but Clark, who lives in
Los Angeles. The Collins
family came to this com
munity about 1909, and
owned and lived on what is
now the Bud Robinson
farm.
In discussing some of our
old school days with Ed
Vincent, we learned that it
was Verne Pendleton, now
operator of a service station
in CP., who the teacher
made write 100 times on the
board, "Constantinople is
the capital of Turkey." We
are somewhat partial to the
old one-room schools, and
believe pupils learned a lot
from the recitations of
others, and know that
Vern's chalk writing caused
a lot of us. including me. to
remember the capital of
Turkey.
Now they have changed
the capital, so we need
another lesson.
Special 'Day7 Held
For Band Leader
Wc also met Clyde Briggs,
an old standby Republican and
former resident here, who we
remember was painfully sur
prised when election returns
came in on r.D.K.'s second
try for president. He said he
didn't know so many people
would trade their vote for a
chick sales. Roosevelt had
sponsored the plan for a bet
ter and more sanitary house
in back, where the Sears Roe
buck catalogue was kept.
On Wednesday night,
June 1, we were fortunate
in gelling a seal in a crowd
ed room, and to witness a
high school class program,
and graduating exercises at
the Eagle Point High school.
We particularly liked an ad
dress by one of the gradu
ates, who stressed good
morals, honesty, and quoted
Solomon, saying that "a
good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches."
The Jackson County retired
Teachers Assn. will meet Mon
day, June 13, at the home of
Mrs. J. S. Richardson.

Gold Hill - The final day of
school at Patrick and Hanby
Elementary schools of District
6 was designated "Mr. Cook's
Day." On June 7, pupils of
the two schools invited Char
les W, Cook, who is retiring
as band leader,' to have his
advanced band present a final
appearance during an assem
bly. Cook was not aware that
the assembly had been ar
ranged by pupils and teachers
as a tribute especially for him
until Gllber A. Mack, prin
cipal of Gold Hill schools,
announced that the event was
in his honor.
Dave Force, one of Cook's
students, expressed ' appreci
ation on behalf of the band
pupils and schools to the band
leader. Students at Hanby
and those who have gone on
to Crater High school, he said,
can be proud that they took
advantage of the exceptional
opportunity to have had music
instruction by Cook.
These years have been an
experience in their lifetimes
that they will always cherish,
Force said, and Cook's out
standing ability and personal
ity have gained him the deep
respect and love of his stu
dents and parents in this community.
Started in 1947
Cook came to Hanby to
teach music in September,
1947, following 20 years
an Army band leader. He is a
chief warrant officer, U. S.
Army, retired. He retired
from the U.S. Army in July
1947. When he first came to
Gold Hill to tertcli band music,
the elementary and high
school were combined. Since
that time, consolidation oc
curred, and the grade school
was given the name Hanby in
memory of a former principal.
Fcrd Jones was principal at
the time Cook first came to
Gold Hill.
Since Cook plans to catch
up on his fishing during nis
leisure hours after his retire
ment at Hanby, members of
his advanced and little bands
at the school presented him a

fishing rod and reel. Bearer
of the gift on behalf of the
band students was Gregg Ap
plen, clarinet player. He and
Dave Force are among eighth
graders who will leave the
band this year. They will en
ter Crater next fall.
Cook responded with praise
for his band students, teach
ers, and parents as well for
the success that he has had in
developing local talent dur
ing his years as band leader
here. He said he is assured
that these youngsters will con
tinue to progress in their
music, and urged them to con
tinue their study of music un
der the new instructor or
wher ever they might go from
here.
He praised Gilbert A. Mack,
principal, and other faculty
members for their cooperation
in scheduling school events so
that they would not conflict
with the band students' les
sons and band rehearsals. He
expressed his thanks to every
one in the community for
their confidence and friend
ship during his years at Plan
by. Surprise for Mack
The last day of school
brought a complete surprise
for students and Mack, when
Cook unexpectedly brought
out a gift which very well
could have been mistaken for
a fishing rod before it was
unwrapped. Cook announced
that he had brought along
something that he thought
Mack would need, and con
tinued that he had been con
cerned about "Poor Old Fath
er Hanby Mack," as he hum
orously referred to the prin
cipal.
Cook said that as he leaves
Hanby he wanted to leave
with Mack one of his treas
ures which he had never
used - something that he had
deep feeling for because it
had been made and finished
by three different friends dur
ing his Army band leader
days. The gift was an attrac
tive cane that had been made
from a part of an airplane that
had crashed. To top the oc
casion, he brought out an
other surprise package which
contained a gray derby hat
to go with the cane.
Cook called upon members
of the fourth grade who made
up the little band to present
number entitled "Poor Johnny
Smoker." Since these pupils
had turned in thcr instru
mcnts which they had rented
from the school during their
first year, they sang the selec
tion. Gilbert Mack announced
that Marvin Throne will re
place Cook as band leader.
Throne has been teaching vo
cal music in the school the
past year.
Bob Turner, retiring stu
dent body president, swore in
the new student body offi
cers. Ihey are Donald Gail,
president: Norma Schatz,
vice president; Sharon Bailey,
treasurer; and Charmaine
Doherty, secretary.

Open Fires Banned
In Jacksonville
Jacksonville - Fire Chief
Lewis Applcbakcr has repor
ted that open grass and trash
fires are banned in Jackson
ville. He said volunteer firemen
at their Monday session de
cided that no more burning
will be done by the depart
ment and that no more per
mits will be issued for the
present because of the extreme
fire hazard.
Any open burning now will
be in violation of cily ordi
nance, Applcbakcr stated.
Permits for burning in
screened incinerators only can
be obtained at the fire hall
from the city recorder or from
Police Chief Frank Carter.
Residents of Jacksonville,
when reporting fires, were
asked to follow these three
simple rules:
V'ait until connection is
made with the Jacksonville

Eagle Point - The Eagle
Point city council reports it
will support the Junior Cham
ber of Commerce in its all-day
4th of July celebration again
this year.
Harry Hanscom, Jaycee
president, told councilmen at
their meeting last Tuesday
evening that tentative plans
briefly outlined would start
with the 4th of July break
fast from 5:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
with the congregation of the
parade starting at 12:30 and
the parade starting at 1 or 1:30
p.m. The Grange again will
sponsor a barbecue dinner
starting at 1 p.m. and lasting
as long as the food lasts.
During the afternoon there
will be pony rides and other
activities going on with some
type of dance in the evening.
Hanscom stated that they did
not have their committee
chairmen all named as yet but
would have soon.
Also approved by the coun
cil were the new Eagle Point
library hours that will start
July 1. New hours will pro
vide 20 hours a week and will
be open at noon to enable the
youngsters to check out and
return books without having
to get out of school to do so
Mrs. Jessie Tycer, librarian
turned in the following hours
that were approved: Mondays
from noon to 5 p.m. and from
6 to 8 p.m. in the evening;
Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to
1 p.m. and from 2 to 6 p.m
and Fridays from 10 a.m. to
1 p.m. and 2 to 5 p.m. This
schedule must be approved by
the Public Library of Medford
and Jackson County.
Fred Bruegger appeared be
fore the council and presented
two or three types of fire
alarm systems that could be
used in the Eagle Point fire
department and stated that the
automatic conference line sys
tem would be the cheapest
and most efficient of the three.
It would probably cost ap
proximately $100 to install the
necessary equipment and a
$35 rental fee each month
with a time contract being re
quired. Bruegger stated that
it would take about 6 months
from the time it was ordered
before it would be ready to
use.
According to Bruegger, it
takes about 20 minutes after
an alarm is turned in with the
present system for one oper
ator to answer all the calls
and the area is too large now
to accommodate this. With the
conference line, there would
be about six telephoes con
nected to the number with
each of them having to push
and set off the alarm after the
necessary information had
been obtained. Nothing defi
nite was decided at present.
Joe Whipple appeared on
behalf of his garbage collec
tion route and stated that he
would have to raise collection
fees to $1.50 per month and
