Many complaints have come our way lately from local folks who claim it Is almost impossible to use the telephone, because it is being used constantly. One lady who works in Modford tried to telephone home to let her folks know she had made it safely through Tuesday's fog, but she couldn't get an open line until nearly noon.

Peter O'Tooze, our Irish friend, tells us that Robert Emmclt, whom we were named for, was hanged for starting some kind of revolu tion in Ireland. The talk about Kennedy wanting to appoint his broth er Robert as attorney general reminds us of when Sheriff Ralph Jennings was running for reelection. He asked us if we knew why he was being opposed for reelection, by certain people. We told him the only reason we had heard was because he had his son on the payroll as deputy sheriff. That was during pro- hibition when bootleggers were cunning and hard to catch. Jennings said he knew he could trust his boy If lie told him to watch a suspicious looking car to see who got in or out of it. .He would do as told if it look all day, and he wouldn't be leaving now and then for a so-called coliee break. Among local people who are patients in the Rogue Valley hospital are Otis Hedge and John L. Ncalon.

The letter tells of the Doolcy's contract year be ing extended to next spring when they expect to be re turning to the states. Also, 11 describes many places they have visited, including the fields of Ruth and Bonz, Racli acl's tomb, the Gethscmanc Road to Martha and Martha's homes, Mount of Olives, Gcth semane, and many other places which are in Bible his tory.
