fiJL Tablets . Table Rock-The Thanksgiv- Ing dinner held Friday night by the Table Rock Comma nily club at the schoolhouse wai attended by fewer of our citizens than usual, but those present had a most enjoyable time, and a delicious dinner of home cooked foods of many varieties. It seems that since consoli dation of the school, TV sets and other kinds of entertain ment, it has become more dif ficult each year to get a fair- sized number of local folks to attend a neighborhood function..- Some attend school games with their children at Central Point, while others go with the crowds to other places for entertainment, and there are those who watch certain TV. programs. We would like to see our com munity population out some time so we could ail gei ac quainted. ' We war trying to organ is a Grange at Eagl Point som 30 yars ago and Mrs. Gertrude Haak tnt In a nolic of th masting to the M.T. At th bottom of th notic sh put. "com out and meet your neighbor, you might lik him." So they did, to such an extent thai they are still meeting 30 ytars latar at th Grange hall, having good timet with their neighbor!, besides contributing much to th social and economical status of their town. A letter from Miss Gail Bishop of Kansas City, Kan., tells of her entry in the Kel logg coloring contest. She was judged as one of the first 300 prize winners. Her prize will be a Bell and Howell matched movie outfit, consisting of a projector, Sunometer 8 mm movie camera, preview tilting screen, light bar, two flood lights and carrying case for the camera. In addition, ac cording to the letter, she will receive three complete 8 mm Huckleberry Hound cartoons. An epidemic of mumps has boon going the rounds here among the small fry for the oast month. As one youngster recovers another gets it, so it may last for quite a spell yet. The llltlewoman and I went to Medford the other day. We went to our doctor to see if the election had affected our blood pressure, and she to do some shopping. As a good later meeting place, she sug gested a men's clothing store. As soon as we arrived at the clothing store, the salesman -. started to sell us a new suit and seemed to have the exact Size and color and a hat to go with it. A good salesman can easily make a suit fit, by a little pull on the lapel to smooth out the back when your back Is1 toward the mlr tor. ........ We wondered about it be ing so easy for the salesman to pick from the rack the right size and color, but later found our better half had al ready been there and we had been framed. The new suit Idea was brought about by John' Stafford the M.T.. ex plorer wanting our picture. :': W heard th Utile wom an tall him- that w looked better wearing a whit . shirt, but it was a .tough job getting on on me. (W have always thought that a - whit shirt on m looked ' lik a $10 saddle on a hog.) W heard Stafford say, "I'll ' hold him, while you gei th shirt on him, and sine Stafford weighs som 200 ' pounds you may find us wearing a starched whit shirt som of lheie days. 1 Aubrey Nettles, a recent hospital patient, is now at his home, but unable to resume his job at the Modoc orchard Mrs. Don Wheeler has been helping with the work at the Table Rock store during Mrs. Wyatt's stay at-the hospital. , According to the rain gauge at the Modoc orchard, the showers of the last few days have brought a little more than one inch of much needed water to the soli in this lo cality. Up to this time, the lack of moisture of any depth has been holding up farm op erations, especially the seed ing of small grain.

Signs of Winter In Murphy Area Murphy - There are more signs that winter is approach ing in the Murphy area than just consulting the calendar, Small, independntly owned trucks, carrying loads of Christmas trees to market, are beginning to be seen on the back roads, causing whoops of delight from the children, and a sinking feeling in the pit of Mom and Dad's pocket book. Then, too, the workers, busily taking up the gladiolus bulbs for several weeks in the fields which only recently were ablaze with color, have now finished their jobs in the fields and moved to the big barns where the sorting of bulbs for winter storage is taking place. The start of the fall and winter rains has caused the Applegate river to rise where it flows through Provolt and Murphy, so that small boys, who could previously cross over certain almost dry spots in the river on their bikes to visit friends on the other side. are now reminded that this is a river and must be by passed. However, rainy days are not without their compensa tions. They are pleasant days for indoor visiting and social izing and here are some of the times and places where community members got to gether recently.

The insecticide can be taken Into the system through the skin. A California highway pa trolman averted what could have been trouble. Max Schoellerman stopped the truck because he smellcd in secticide coming from it. A check showed that one of the barrels of insecticide had sprung a leak. It took Siskiyou County Ag ricultural Commissioner Jess Grisham, called to identify the poison, and three other men, two hours to track down the leaky barrel. It was half empty when discovered. Ghisham said the men could only work in 15 minute shifts because of the toxic condi tions inside the truck. "This insecticide could have been very dangerous," Grish am ' said.
