MEDFORD MAIL Out on a Limb By BOB WALTERS In the Bag Anyone need 143 plastic bags? They're yours for the ask ing. Every last one of them. This once-in-a-lifetime offer is possible, indirectly, through the courtesy of a couple of local laundries. The bags, which formerly contained shirts, have accumulated over the past T2 months and I do mean accumulated. They were stuffed in the closet, put fing out of every drawer ir the bureau and kept popping up unexpectedly in other areas of the apartment. The other day, however, I conducted a Clean Up The Plastic Bags Campaign and shoved them all in a large paper sack. I thought maybe I could palm them off on a door-to-door salesman. "Good afternoon, Sir. Would you like to buy a set of ster ling silver cooky cutters?" "No. Would you like to have 143 plastic bags?" "No." "Fine. We're even." The bags, as you can see. are great for getting rid of salesmen, but the problem now is getting rid of the bags. Any takers? Some Medford 20-30 club members were a bit red faced after two of the con tests at the recent Catfish Derby. Seems a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl walked off with the prizes in lhe "youngest married couple" and "youngest fa ther" contests before some one discovered they weren't married, A couple of 20-30ians try ing to track them down en countered the teen-agers as they were returning to the judging area. The kids said their consciences got the best of them and they de cided to return the prizes, which they did. Another "youngest fath er" winner was selected but Derby officials decided to skip the second contest, which probably was a good , idea. It would have been anti-climactic. ' Tiller-Drew Correspondent Viola Rogers has submitted numerous stories about an organization called Club 227 and a few days ago Great While Father asked the in evitable question: "Why is Club 227 called Club 227?' Mrs. Rogers, we await your reply. Shortly after I arrived in Medford. Mr. R. E. Nealon expressed surprise at my age, which isn't exactly an astronomical figure. Several others reacted similarly and I was beginning to get a complex because I still had all my hair and most of my teeth and wasn't a grand father. But no more. Today I reached the 26-year mark and am now middle-aged. Four more years and I'll be 30. Good grief. Today also is the first day of my vacation. After read ing Star Gazer, I suppose It's a good thing. "Don't put anything on paper," it said. "Seek legal advice." Now Ihey tell inc.

Those we.e the days of the one-room school with the stove in the middle of the room and raids at recess on the water pump on the grounds. It also was the day of a dozen double seats and desks, and everyone sat with a partner. Those were the times of high top shoes, sometimes buttoned, black bloomers, pig tails or curls, and teacher wore her hair up and "rat ting" was a method of keep ing it tidy. The teacher boarded with a family, and Mabel stayed with the Paul Andersons and also at the Frank Cameron home, and joined the children and sometimes a family dog in walking to school, lunch pail in hand.
