Tablets Table Rock - A real estate deal was recently consumated giving Gerald Messinger, of Van Nuys, Calif., ownership of an 80 acre tract of farm land located in the northwest part of the Table Top ranch. Messinger, an architect, will probably establish a business in Medford and with his wife and two teen-age children live there until a house is built on the new property. The land lies between the two Table Rocks. Snyder creek flows through it and it has access to three roads, the Table Rock-Sams Valley rd. on the east, Tresham lane on the north and a gravel road on the west. According to the county water master, the Table Rock Ditch Co. has granted his application for water for the tract which will be used for raising cattle. This transaction was handled by Max Cramer, farm salesman for the Pickell Real Estate Co. of Medford. Kerby T a n t, government trapper of Reese Creek, is a surgery patient at the Rogue Valley hospital with a knee injury received some time ago. Those needing help in protecting their livestock can call Mrs. Tant who will con tact friends who have offered to help during Kerby's con finement. Mr. and Mrs. Orville Hamil ton and son Ernest, were holi day visitors with daughter Jean and family at the James Lewis home in Forest Grove. Foggily speaking - Donald Richardson, the Portland law yer, down here with his fami ly for the holidays, started out Saturday afternoon for the Agate Beauty salon. Blind ed by the fog, he went far past, finally getting his bear ings at Four Corners, and then not by sight, but by scent from Bill Bray's auction yard. So Bill's auction yard is not only a great asset to valley stockmen, but acts as a guide post to travelers during foggy weather. Don probably told us this to make us believe that Portland doesn't have this type of weather. But we have been in Portland when the fog was so dense that pedes trians actually collided with each other while traveling on the sidewalks. This was good many years ago. Maybe Portland weather has im proved over the years. Charley Hoover, the desert shiek, was over this way last Saturday and left us a beau tiful little spruce tree. Last Saturday afternoon while Benny Peek, herds man at the Table Top Here ford ranch, had his crew moving some of the show cattle, they became con fused in the dense fog, bolted and ran down a lane to the highway with the crew behind them, trying to get them under control but unable to see them due to the fog. A car coming from the opposite direction hit the cattle head on, kill ing two and doing exten sive damage to the ear. The two animals killed were among the prize - winning show stock and highly valued. The Lucky Garrison fami ly, who have lived here at the Hull orchards for the past six years, where Garrison has been employed, are moving to Eagle Point about the first of the year. The Christmas program at the schoolhouse Friday night was well attended considering the weather. Some 60 people braved the fog. With a good program, and the prevailing Christmas spirit, every one seemed to have a good time. Old Santa proved to be very interesting, especially to the young fry, who had all been good. Santa surprised one lad who had been "extra good" by telling him he heard he had been close to the border line at times. Lois Smith was so pleased with what Santa brought her. that she smack ed him on the cheek with a kiss. The Vernon Gebhard fam ily were holiday visitors with Mrs. Gebhard's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lonard King, at Eugene, Oregon. A better than usual num ber of local people and visi tors attended Sunday's ses sion of the local Sunday school. Among the visitors were Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Randall, of Medford. and Donald Richardson, Diane, Dennis and Debbie, from Portland. An appropriate program by the children was enjoyed by all, Last Tuesday, we got into a white shirt, but had to have help to get the throat latch fastened, and drove to the Episcopal church in Medford, where we witnessesd the Hamilton-Samson wedding. This was our first attendance at a Indian Tribe To Perform in Eagle Point January 3 By DOTTIE HARBISON Eagle Point - The Moon Mountain Indians under the direction of Bob and Richard Thorpe will present an Indian tribe in a program of Indian dancing at the Eagle Point Grange hall Jan. 3 at 8 p.m. Lecturer Mrs. Delton Steph- ensen stated that this meeting is open to the public free of charge. The Moon Mountain Indian Dancers is a non-profit organ ization instituted by Richard and Bob Thorpe for the pur pose of preserving and teach ing Indian lore and crafts and history of the American In dian. Thorpe's grandmother was a member of the Mohawk tribe, one of the six tribes of the Iroquois confederacy in New York state. His family are all members of the tribe. . Because of the background and stories he heard when small boy, Bob's interest in Indian lore, especially danc ing, has been a high point in his life sines he was four years old. The formation of the Moon Mountain Dancers and the Moon Mountain Pres ervation is the culmination of his and his father Richard's plans, although they are just getting started. Bob is pres ently in the United States armed forces but is home on leave. Richard and Bob Thorpe have purchased a large acre age . near Rogue River and have turned it into a camp site for the purpose of pre serving the almost forgotten legends, dances, crafts, pow wows, lores, and study and research of the colorful Amer ican Indians. Thorpe has built an animal refuge and a work shop where crafts are now being taught to any youngster interested free of charge. He is in the process of building a dormitory where the tribes may stay during the winter months. It is their goal to have a riding stable and have the entire mountainous acre age built up for use ot any group or organization for camping, fishing, dancing, singing around camp fires and a place where they can teach youngsters the Indian lore. Thorpe said he hoped to have the entire village ready soon so the public can come out and watch the dances and for gotten ceremonies of earlier days. The Moon Mountain Danc ers have already become a familiar group in this area They made their first ap pearance in complete Indian costumes at the 1958 Gladio lus festival and since have ap peared publicly at such places at scout and club meetings, round-ups, parades, and con ventions throughout the Unit ed States. Richard Thorpe has taught Indian lore for over 40 years with his son Bob starting the Indian dancers about four years ago. Anyone interested in this sort of pro gram is welcome free of charge at the preservation, Thorpe stated that many of the legends about the Indian are not true - even the name Indian is confusing. The expression "red marr was used to describe the In dian by white traders and the pioneers who left their homes in the East to travel across the country, risking their lives and braving untold dangers to settle the lands in the West that were the homes of our American Indians. A few of the Indians painted them selves with red oxide. Actu- lly, the color of the Indian varies from light yellow or olive to very drak brown, ac cording to Thorpe. Their eyes vary in color from blacK, brown or hazel, to gray or even blue; their hair from straight coarse black to soft brown. Thorpe stated that they need to have an organization or group help sponsor the group if they are to continue with their project here in the Rogue valley or he would be forced to go elsewhere. This is a non-profit group with the youngsters making their own costumes but he stated that a group to handle publicity and other things is needed badly. wedding in this church, and the ceremony, setting, and all was very solemn and impres sive. At the reception we met many relatives, and friends, some of them of long stand ing. Doc Inskeep asked about our health, and we told him we had worn out some three or four doctors and might live to wear him out. After some of the ladies kept telling us how lovely we looked framed in a white shirt, we became suspicious, and decided that the little woman had some thing to do with this, thinking this would cause us to don a white shirt more often. The Landrace breed of swine, Imported from Den mark, Is increasingly popular with Canadian breeders. Recreation Areas Topic of Meeting . Grants Pass - Josephine County Judge Raymond La throp reported there are five governmental agencies inter ested in operation and devel opment of recreational facili ties in the county, at the Dec. 27 meeting of the Grants Pass Lions club. The county now has 14 parks, including one accom modating trailers, Lathrop said. He also pointed out that most areas have facilities for picnicking and boat launch ing. Lathron stressed the impor tance of knowing" about the county recreational facilities and informing tourists about fishing, camping and other va cation facilities available.
