Newspaper Page Texto o FRIDAY. JUNE 24. I960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEPFORD, ORE. Tablets A Snakey Skunk Table Rock - A meeting of the Table Rock Community club was called to order at 8 p.m. Saturday by the presi dent, Miss Linda Doran. No tice of the meeting was not too well advertised, and this, and the measle epidemic, probably cut down the usual attendance. An interesting program consisted of the tinging of old time songs by the audience. A trio composed of Thurman and Joe Stripling and Lyle Bigham was loudly applauded for its singing of several songs, as was Dan Mat teson for his skillful work with the piano. A cake walk retted a few dollars for the flower fund. Last Thursday, Ltwis, th 10-yar-old son of the Ernest Lathrops. wnu napping out th front door of their horn, was nipped on th ankl by a larg rattUtnak that was concealed under th door mat Th parents wr working, and not at horn, so th boy, swing th snake, which had com out from under th mat, ran for help to a close by neighbor at th Henry Rowell home, and Mr. Rowell returned with him and killed th rep tile, which had nine rattles. During this time. Lewis did not realise that he had been bitten, but on arrival of his parents, he was rushed to a doctor who applied the necessary treatment, and sine then, there seem to be no ill effects. Robert Hamilton of Med ford, with some friends, was out this way Tuesday. Robert was on crutches, and explain ed how he happened to get shot in the foot while doing the quick draw, or imitating the ranger with the big iron on his hip. It boils down to the fact that he worked his trigger finger faster than he did his foot in getting it out of the line of fire. In our last column, th item telling that Mrs. Er nest was a winner at th flower show was an error. It should have been Mrs. Ernest Smith. Last Friday, Mrs. Don Wheeler and daughter, Miss Barbara, met up with a large, vicious - looking rattlesnake near their home. Mrs. Wheel er armed herself with a shovel and Miss Barbara car ried a garden hoe, and lended her moral support, and be tween the two, and the farm dog, who looked on from a distance, the snake, with his buzzing eight rattles, didn't have a chance. A swift, well aimed blow with the shovel by Mrs. Wheeler ended the hostilities. Mrs. Ella Matteson, of Redland. Calif., arrived her Friday and will spend sev eral days visiting her son, and family, at the Norman Matteson home. Mrs. Mat , teson says the smog situa ' tion around L.A. is all w hear about it, and then torn. At th prasent time, th temperature is too high to keep th house, doors and windows closed, so a per son hat to choos between toasting with th heat, or strangling with th smog. Also visiting at th Matte ton horn U Pat Reddie, of Vancouver, Wash., and Jim Barnes, Rlchvllle. Wash., relatives of th Mattesons. Mrs. Harry Ellis of the Beagle District was a wel come visitor at last Sunday's cession of the local Sunday school. Th Bert Plerc family (rafer Television CENTRAL R22V . Exp.ri.nc. 1 fe.

We have received a card from Mrs. Florence Brenne sholtz, Madrona lane, Med ford, telling us that our thought of a telephone that cut out after five minutes con versation is no longer just a thought since telephones in Hood River give a warning buzz, then disconnect after five minutes, except long dis tance. We thank the good lady for the information. It makes us feel that we are making progress, and maybe this sys tem will get down here even tually. Now if someone will invent a typewriter that will growl and back up when Bessie starts to misspell a word, we'll be sitting pretty. Mrs. Frances Schlosser, a resident her when a small child, but now of Portland, was a Tuesday visitor at th J. S. Richardson home. Other visitors at the Rich ardson home Tuesday were Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Leav itt. Old Stage road; Mrs. Moore Hamilton and daugh ter, Nancy, and Mrs. John Dodge of Medford and her grandchildren, who live in California. Bob Bayley, a teacher at Crater High, was a local visi tor soliciting for subscribers to the Central Point Shopper, which he says is to under-go change which will increase its size, and scope of news. Herman Priem, the Bea gle X barber, and now a farmer and stock raiser, was down this way recent ly, and told us of his ex perience with a skunk. In working around his barn one day, he saw a big skunk, and didn't like the varmint's familiarity about his premises so decided to do away with him. . H picked up three wag on end rods and started throwing with wonderful accuracy, hitting and spin ning him around with each throw. As the skunk started to go under the barn, Her man got close enough to get his foot on his tail, and hold him, but since he had thrown away the end rods, he was left bare - handed, holding a struggling skunk under his foot, and no help in sight. Finally, he decided to pull the skunk out far enough to get his foot on his body, then with a quick jerk, holding him by the tail, he lifted him into th air. But at this point, while in the air, th skunk launch ed his gas attack that went up several feet, mushroom ed, and came down over Herman like a wet fog. This made him a highly scented, but unwanted, man and landed him in the dog house at home. Herman had been told that a skunk could not use his defensive weapon, unless his hind feet were on th ground. Though of the Day: None of the safety gadgets invented for cars will ever equal a careful driver.

He drove to the lakes to return Jim Mitchell, one of the Ruch eighth grade class who had enjoyed the day at Oregon Caves.
