His wife, Mother Hanscom, would place two stakes at each end of a field and walk back and forth from stake to stake ringing an old fashioned school bell. Hanscom slung a sack of grain across his back and followed the sound of the bell, sowing the grain over the field by hand. He always produced a perfect stand of grain and broadcast his commercial fer tilizer the same way. Hand Irrigation Hanscom did all of his own irrigating by hand. He walked over every inch of ground to make sure it was irrigated by using a stick or shovel to test the ditch depth and soil mois ture. Farmer Hanscom knew his land well and could detect dry ground, muskrat holes and other obstructions as easily as when he had vision. Hanscom strived for better, shorter and simpler methods of doing his work. He not only did his work well but taught many a youth to do the same thing and showed them proper methods and ways for easier and faster working. He pitched hay into threshing machine by hav ing someone give him the lo cation of the machine and the stack of hay. Then he used perfect timing in feeding the hay into the thresher. A surveyor's education was unnecessary for Hanscom in building fences. He dug his own holes, set his posts and stretched the fence wire. He knew what type of wood he used for each post and where each type was located. If he became lost, he merely felt a couple of posts to regain his bearings. Invention played an import ant part in his life. He built a seat on the rear of his plow, sat on the seat and dropped kernels of corn at proper in tervals through a funnel as one of his sons drove the tractor pulling the plow. Does Gardening As a gardener, he planted, weeded, cultivated, irrigated and harvested his own garden and corn fields. He never had a garden without a straight row. He never left a weed standing or pulled a wrong plant when weeding his gar den. Systematically, everything has had its proper place in his life. He amazed neighbors as he would come back to areas he had been working to collect tools. Hanscom also has been a mechanic. He took apart, cleaned and fixed all parts of his car and farm machin ery. In 1948 he bought a Camp White house and moved it to a 24-acre plot of ground on Stevens rd. near Eagle Point. Within the last two years he has enclosed the back porch, installed a bath room, in stalled windows, hung screen doors and built a large walk- in pantry with shelves. He installed all plumbing. Now retired, Hanscom spends much of his time talk ing to his many friends who call on him. He and his wife have 12 children, 24 grand children and 32 great grand children. Both are members of the Apostolic Faith church in Medford. Hanscom is also a member of the Jackson County Council of the Blind. Dad Hanscom nas Deen an inspiration to his family and hundreds of friends. Jacksonville Topics Listed For Sunday .Tanlrcnnvillp "Vain Wor ship" is the topic the Rev. W.

Table Rock The Table Rock Ladies club held their first meeting of the year, Wednesday, Jan. 11, at the home of Mrs. Everett Brown, with Mrs. Hobart Moore as sisting. Club members brought materials to be used by vet erans at Camp White in their work projects. Members also donated cutlery for the spe cial education room at the Central Point school. A high ly interesting part of the pro gram was slide-projector pic tures shown by Mrs. Ernest Smith of local scenes, includ ing the Table Rocks, Rogue river, farms, blossoming or chards, flower gardens, homes and people, also other Oregon scenes including Crater and Diamond lakes. Two women drivers had their cars skid on ice spots and go into the ditch near the Robert Dunn home Thursday morning, as they were on their way to Medford. Sam Glass, the ex - Marine, was called into service and soon had the cars out-and the thankful ladies on their way. We heard a radio an nouncer say that more peo ple get their news first on radio than any other med ium. We wondered if he ever heard of the grapevine rumor medium. They used to say that everyone in a small town knew what was going on and read the paper only to learn if it had been found out. Now comes A. C. Allen Sr., a man in our town who says he can't read the M. T. because it is get ting so big, he doesn't have lime, so he doesn't know what has been found out around the Table Rocks. From all the pleas we are hearing and reading for help for the needy, Kennedy's cam paign talks about our econ omy must have been nearer correct than the opposition would have us believe. Speak ing of people needing help re minds us of an incident that happened locally back In the 90s. A family had moved into a small house on the bank of the irrigation ditch on what is now the Modoc orchard, a short distance from the pres ent Modoc barn. The man had worked during the summer but with the coming o winter, work had shut down, J. C. Pendleton, a neighbor, visited the home and reported that the family needed help, so a goodly supply of food was col lected and Pendleton hitched his team to the spring wagon and delivered the food. In those days farmers had little money but plenty of wholesome food, including dried apples, ham and eggs kraut, pickles, sorghum, flour, meats of all kinds, milk and still so new at it all that it Is pleasing just to see what I have written appear in print," she says. She says much of her time is spent taxiing children to and from band practice, bas ketball practices and games, skating parties, music lessons and somehow squeezing in the required amount of cooking, bedmaking and ironing. Her other writing experi ence consists of in her words: "Writing such deathless prose as 'Please leave only one quart of milk today,' and 'Dear Miss Jones: Steve was absent yesterday because he had the measles." Mrs. Millemann and her husband, Dr. R. J. Millemann, moved to Murphy after hav ing lived in New York, Ar kansas, Georgia, Virginia and Pennsylvania. PAY MORE? FOR Call n m.m butter. On first delivery the family seemed very apprecia tive, the second not so much, and when Pendleton stopped t the house the third time, the man was seated on a stool near the fire. When told an other batch of food had ar rived he turned his head and said, "Well, fetch 'em in." This was too much and Pen dleton said, "If you want this food, come and get it." When he returned he told the neigh bors he didn't mind furnishing food, but as far as he was con cerned they would have to come and get it. Another similar case in lat er years was of a more comi cal nature. A resident of the Antioch district was a habit ual tobacco chewer and was known as a tobacco "bum." Some claimed he would bum a chaw" when he had tobacco in his pocket. One day this man was working and hit the boss a few times for a "chaw" of tobacco. We happened to be near when the boss took a chaw. The bum reached for the plug of tobacco which the boss handed to him, telling him to put it In his pocket. "No, no," he said, "I don't want to take your tobacco." This caused the boss to say in a loud and commanding voice, "Put that in your pocket. I don't mind furnishing tobac co, but I'll be darned if I'm going to carry it for you." A letter from Val Ware, of Long Beach, Calif., sends best wishes to his former neighbors. He says he keeps up fairly well with Table Rock doings by reading the "Tablets." Always interest ed in world affairs, he sends this P.S.i "Just listened to the p.m. news. Sounds like the people in Asia and Afri ca are socializing." Several local people attend ed the Russel Wheeler funeral Friday at the Hillcrest Memo rial chapel. Russel at one time resided in this community in the home now occupied by his brother Don and family. The local Sunday school had a large attendance at last Sun day's session, with 37 mem bers and visitors being pres ent. Included in the visitors were Mrs. Earl Maloney and two young children, Marilyn and Susan Lathrop and Mrs. Dale Schulz and her two little tikes. Following a potluck dinner in the basement dining room. members of the Sams Valley Grange assembled for their first meeting of the new year Saturday night with a smaller attendance than usual due to illnesses. The newly elected master, Dalton btraus, was among those absent due to throat trouble. Peter Tlghe, the Irish lecturer, was at his station but said he wasn't fully prepared for his task, so he used most of his time explaining how cottage cheese is made and surprised his au dience by giving figures of the tremendous amounts of cottage cheese sold in this valley, Oregon and California. ' After hearing Tighe, who is an expert choese maker, tell of the complications met in the making of cheese, everyone concluded that cheese making is not a sim ple task. Tighe told of a happening in the old coun try which we didn't take notes on, so we'll try to give it from memory. It seems in the old country they used Jackasses for their motive power, which were hitched between the shafts of a cart with the driver on a scat at the rear. Peter had started to town with a cart load of cheese. In town one was required to have lights on his pulling power, and since Peter had no light Just before entering town he tied the jackass to the sent where he had been riding, and got roots of tft bright red roses between the shafts and was I will keep alive under the traveling along when a po-isnow. liceman stopped him and said.
