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.

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.

Rural Reflections
By MAUDE ZIEGLER
Applegate Valley-There are
those in Jackson county who
got their start in reading and
writing when Mabel Wertz,
the tractor driving ranch
woman of Climax featured in
the Sunday Mail Tribune,
taught at Uniontown school in
1916-1917. Some of these in
clude Mrs. Ernest Holbrook
(Virginia Cameron) of Talent;
Mrs. Edwin Goodwin (Venita
Anderson), Truitt and Emmett
Cantrall of Medford; and Mel
vin Arnold of Butte Falls.
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. Mabel became
Mrs. Wertz while she was
teaching. Before that she was
Miss Hensen.

Citizens Group Discusses
Siskiyou County Minerals

Mail Tribune Correspondent
Aetna - The development
of Siskiyou county mineral
resources was discussed last
week at a meeting of the Citi
zens Advisory Committee for
Siskiyou County Develop
ment, mines and minerals
branch, in Aetna, Calif. About
20 miners, including six wom

Miners declared that as
much gold as has ever been

no single generation discovers
all of the gold.

didn't result in much discus

witli him.

unable to obtain government
