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.
One of the greatest things
about the beautiful new

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."
