vision. While a farmer, Hans
com planted his entire grain
fields by hand. 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

hundreds of friends.

Presently she is president

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,

ing lived in New York, Ar
kansas, Georgia, Virginia and
Pennsylvania.

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
