Tablets The regular meeting of the Sam Valley Grange Satur day night was well attended by members, some of whom were surprised when the sec retary read the minutes of previous meetings, telling of business transacted, and that the membership roll is now at the 100 mark. The lecturer had prepared an excellent program which was greatly enjoyed, especial' ly by those who remember World War One, and "A Long T.nne. Trail A-Winding," and other songs of that period. Among the business trans acted was the passing of a motion that the Sams Valley Grange enter the community lervice contest sponsored by the slate and national Granges. One anxious member remarked that during tne Dig fire last month Grangers were 11 het up and hot for some sort of fire protection But since then had evidently cooiea on, as no action of this kind has o far developed. Copies of the 1960 Rogue Basin report were distributed to members. and at the close of the meet ing a watermelon feed was held in the basement dining R.ports from Sams Val : ly farmers who produce : alfalfa seed IndlcaU that a fair crop Is being harvested . there now, and that the al , kail bees procured last year ' have don an excellent Job , of pollinating. , In the Beagle, Sams Val ley, and our local district, good crop yields have been ' obtained, despite adverse vreather . conditions, with ' cold, wet weather In the " spring, followed by dry and ' hot weather during the bal- anc of the growing season. '. This kind ol weather makes -. much litigation necessary, : and where the sprinkling system Is used, adds much '. expense to crop growing. Wes Wartmnn of Jackson ville, was a visitor here Satur day. Wes and his brother Lyle, have been building bridges for Jackson county for more tnan 40 years and have probably driven more spikes Into bridge planks than any dozen men you could name. ; Mr. and Mrs. Robert DruKt and ion. of Grants Pass, were Sunday visitors . with relatives at the Bert Pierce home, Mr. Pruitt Is a noted glad grower In '. Josephine county. . A dinner held Thursday at the S. S. Richardson home, honoring Robert Hamilton, toon to leave for Dartmouth to take up his college duties, was attented by several rela tives. Robert recently won a scholarship. One night last week hood . lums raided a local vegeta ' ble stand and got away with some melons. Also, a melon . patch had nightly visitors. This has caused the locking of gates, and Installing . alarm systems. Nearly any melon grower would give a melon to anyone who couldn't aflord to buy one, ' but when premises are dis turbed, and products scat tered and destroyed, those people are not melon hun gry. Stealing melons reminds us of when Central Point was little, and had plank sidewalks about four feet wide. Watt Beebe had brought wagon load ol watermelons to town and was unloading them at a grocery store on the north tide of main " street. To hurry matters along, Watt, who was always In a hurry, would toss a melon from the wagon across the sidewalk to a store clerk, who would lake it . Inside and hurry back for the next one. Joe shop near by, was passing Just as Watt tossed a big melon, ctught It, and went Into his shop where he and his helper had a melon feast. Nothing was said about the melon deal, but the next lime Watt came to town he went to the Boswell shop, got a shave and hair cut, and walked out, and when Boswell asked if he didn't Intend to pay for the serv ice, told him to take it out f the melon. A shave those days waa IS cents, a helrcui 25 cents, but If you got both at on tiling, the price was 35 cents for the two. As melons were worth about 35 cents at ihat lime, ii wis about van Steven.

Recent visitors to the local Sunday School were Mrs, James Lewis and chil dren, Jan, and Mark, of Forest Grove. They were spending the week end at the Orville Hamilton home here. Listening to Dr. Barn- hardt's sermon Sunday morn. ing, we heard him tell this story which we thought very interesting He said Woodrow Wilson s father was a Presbyterian preacher, and drove a beauti ful well-kept span of horses. One day, when he drove up to the store, a bystander looked at his beautiful team, then his patched and faded trous ers, and remarked, "Preacher, your horses look better than you do." He answered, You see, I take care of my horses, my congregation takes care of me We hope church members won t think this is meant for any insinuation. We were just amused at the preachers clever answer. Ernest Lyman, a good Democrat of the Gold Hill area, was a visitor here Wednesday, talking politics, and trying to spot any would-be Democrats who have failed to register.
