Gold Hill Nuggets By MARY KELL Gold Hill-Good old fash ioned nelghborlincsi has been ihown by many people ilnce the Shermon Kiger family lost all of their belongings In a fire that destroyed their trailer house on Old Stage rd. near Gold Hill recently. The couple have two tons, Shermon, a freshman at Cra ter, and arrell, a seventh grader at Hanby Elementary school. Kiger is employed as a bus driver for District 6 schools. Needed materials were sold at cost by Morrow's Hard ware store in Gold Hill and Main Building and Supply company in Rogue River for the unfinished house that the Kigers were building. Elk Lumber company, Medford, donated a truck load of lum ber. Labor was donated by teachers of Hanby Elemen tary school and neighbors and friends of the Kigers who gathered to roof the house. It was said that at one time there were 14 people busy with car penter activities. Cash gifts have been given by Hanby student body and school personnel at both Gold Hill schools. Each class is also doing something to help the Kiger family. If anyone cares to make a cash donation, they may send It to the Gold Hill school, Box 168, Gold Hill. Many families often have used stoves, furniture, silver ware, pots and pans, dishes, etc., that they are not using and may be holding for a worthy cause. This may be the cause. Clothes and sizes that could be used by the Kigers are the following: Men's shoes, sizes 8, 8V4, 10, lO'fc; ladies' shoes, size 8; dresses size 16; jeans and trousers, W29-32; W30-32; shirts, shorts and sox sizes 15-16.

School Open House Termed Big Success Lone Pine - Back to school night at the Lone Pine school held Thursday, Nov. 17, was termed one of the most suc cessful events of the year by school officials. A capacity crowd filled (lie school gymnasium. Lee Mcr riman, principal, stated that he and school staff members felt that it was a vote of con fidence for the school staff. He stressed that although open house was held in con junction with American Edu cation week, parents should feel that open house is held 170 days a year and parents should feel free to visit the school while it is in session. Students of the intermedi ate grades acted as guides and helped parents tour class rooms for ten minute periods. In addition, parents viewed many improvements that have been made in the last two years. Among these were the ceiling in the gym, the art room, arrangement of the band room, and rcfinishing the library.

Personally Speaking By JOHN STAFFORD Occasionally Per sonally Speaking comes across some thing going on which should be studied for possible bene fits it could produce. At the risk of stirring up a hornet's nest, the following is one of these items. Last Thursday we had oc casion to drive down to the Oregon-California border on Highway 91). A few miles south of Ashland-we observed men of the slate highway de partment engaged in clearing hillsides bordering the high way. They were cutting out small pine trees and brush. If all was being fed into a mulchcr and ground up into small pieces. Clearing the hillside is probably necessary. However, perhaps throwing all of the small Christmas trees into a mulcher could be reconsidered. The holiday season is here. There are many needy fami lies in the area who possibly won't be able to afford the price of a Christmas tree. Al though they can't afford the cost, they will probably still purchase a tree at the sacri fice of something else the fam ily needs. I'James Foote, it is hoped that more property would not have to be purchased In order to build these rooms. Plans are for the two classrooms, to be built between the gym and the tennis courts and the metal shop added to the science building. The addi tional office space would be built across the hall from the present office in the vacant space there. The board also voted other arrangements concerning the office of athletic league com missioner held presently by Jess Brewer. Some schools have complained of the way in which officials were placed in recent league games. Carl Hoberg, superinten dent of the district, was voted by the board to be sent to the state superintendents and school board convention meet ing at San Diego the second week in November along with any board member who wished to go. It was also decided to send a delegate to the county com mittee on school district or ganization meeting in Duns muir Nov. 29 Onnror. Thnnlinl was elected to represent the district at the meeting which will cover the possible unifi cation of southern Siskiyou If the highway depart ment could offer these trees to a r a service clubs or charily groups, they would undoubtedly by only too happy to pick up and dis tribute them. This would be a great public service, in addition to being a mighty fine public relations gesture on the part of tha highway department. This writer had a stimulat ing and informative experi ence last Thursday. He was invited to speak to a group of students in a speech class at Butte Falls High school. It proved to be an enlight ening one hour. Although the main theme was opportuni ties available to those going into journalism, a variety of subjects were discussed. Among other things, we learned that today's students are deeply concerned with what they are going to do following graduation from high school. A large segment of students don't have any definite plans. However, when asked if they planned on remaining in Butte Falls, all but one agreed that they wanted to leave. The consen sus was that opportunities are greater in other areas. Although there may be a wider selection of fields to enter in areas far removed from Butte Falls, there is still much opportunity to be exploited at home. Wa couldn't help but think of tha old adage. "If you build a belter mousa trap the world will beat a path to your door." Or another which goes, "The grass al ways looks greener on tha other side of the fence." Mr. R. E. Nealon, distin guished author of Tablets, a regular regional page Friday feature, directed a few choice remarks our way Friday. We aren't modest enough to say that we didn't enjoy reading Ncalon's observation about oursclf. However, as Nealon must realize, some of his com ments can't be passed off and forgotten. They need to be an swered. We were Interested to learn that we have "a good imagi nation with plenty of energy to back up anything we plan." We wish that Nealon would come to the Mail Tribune news room and spread this word around. Somehow, the sight of the Regional Editor slouched over his desk In deep meditation may at times lead to other opinions. Nealon also referred to this writer as "a 'youngster' in his early twenties, who may find it difficult to teach an old dog new tricks." Such a state ment deflates the ego! True, we are only 23. However, a youngster? We must point out to Nealon that we gave up pablum and knickers a few years ago. We must also point out that we aren't in this business to teach old dogs new trick. We hope to learn a few tricks from these so-called "old dORS." Jaycees Elect Two Officers at Meet Eagle Point - Two new of ficers were elected by the Ea gle Point Jaycecs at their reg ular meeting Nov. 10. Lloyd Mynat, long time res ident of the Eagle Point area, was elected first vice presi dent. Mynat has been an ac tive member of the organi zation for the past years and has served as chairman of sev eral standing committees. In his new position, Mynat will be responsible for the direc tion of the organization and leadership training of both new and old Jaycee members. Elect to the office of sec retary was Rick Wolgamott, who currently is director of physical education at the Ea gle Point Grade school. Wol gamott attended the Eagle Point schools prior to his Navy service. He is a gradu ate of the University of Nfr vada at Reno. The Jaycees will hold a din ner meeting at the Riverview cafe In Shady Cove at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 22, In stead of Thursday. An Inter- esting program has Vpea plan ned. Members and ntests ara invited to attend. I schools, which affect the schools in the north end of the county should they decid ed to unify.
