First Lt. Vernon Gebhard,
member of the U. S. Air Force
reserve, returned recently
from a two week training ses
sion at camp Adair, Ore.
W not that a movement
Is underway by Congress
man Durno to get the forest
service to lower the price of
tumpage o n i a w timber,
with the idea that In this
way more will be sold. In
checking timber sales in the
n.s, lira tiMita found . Vl
practically all bids were
above and some many times
much higher than the ap
praisal prices, bidders seem
ing to pay very little, if any
attention to appraisals. To
someone like me who
knows very little about the
lumoer Business but nas
been acquainted with sur
pluses since we can remem
ber, lt seems that a real
boost to the lumber buii-
neu wgum D 10 get uiesv
huge piles of lumber In the
mill yards moving into con
struction where they be
long. Speaking of surpluses, ac
cording to the regional editor
of the M.T. the regional cor
respondents are producing a
lot of surplus news, keeping
him up to his ears in news
which he says he likes because
too much, news is better than
too little, for he can carry
some over or put it in some
other place. So if you don't
find in the Tablets the news
you gave, us, don't give up. It
might be elsewhere. Might
even be in the comic strip,
along with Snuffy Smith. We
took a lot of space witn Lin
coln's inaugural speech, even
then using less than half of It.
We'll say this for Abraham
Lincoln. No president ex
pressed so' much appropriate
information in such a short
time and few words as he did
in the Gettysburg address. Ed
ward Everett, Secretary of
State, preceded Lincoln and
spoke for two hours. He later
wrote this note to Lincoln.
"I should- be glad if I could
flatter myself that I come as
near the general idea of the
occasion in two hours as you
did in two minutes." The ad
dress was so short Hint the
photographer didn't get his
camera adjusted in time for
a picture.

their entire dairy herd of

Our eye doctor tells us
that he had fitted Bill Bray,
auctioneer, with glasses
having extra large lenses.
He said, "you know Bill has
to watch that big arena of
bidders, and he doesn't want
to miss a bid." We'll say he
doesn't, One has to be care
ful about talking or making
gestures, or he might find
himself taking home a litter
of pigs. Thai's how Charley
Hoover unintenionally got
into the hog business.

Fear decline, a disease of
the roots of pear trees that
causes trees to wither and die,
is causing some anxiety
among local orchardists who
claim that although tlie sci
entists arc still conducting ex
tensive tests, no definite an
swer as to Its cause and cure
has been obtained. There arc
many ideas as to its cause,
such as: too much water; too
much nitrogen; virus infec
tion; and others. But so far
none of these check out as the
cause. A California man tells
us that he estimates that at
least 100,000 pear trees wore
lost with pear decline in that
state in 1BU0.
Joe Stalllngs, an enlistee In
the U, S. Navy, arrived here
Wednesday from San Diego
where he recently finished his
boot training. He just got out
of the hospital where he spent
some time, and will remain at
home until he recuperates. ,

Enrollment at
Hornbrook School
All-Time High
Hornbrook Enrollment at
the Hornbrook grammar
school reached an all-time
high last month when the
number of pupils reached the
125 mark.
With this enrollment, the
school is now entitled to five
teachers, but - until another
teacher is assigned by the
county school board, Principal
Harley Baker has had to do
some rearranging of classes.
Miss Phyllis Bird, who for
merly had the first and second
grades, now has the first
grade only with 20 pupils.
Mrs. Roy Cummins now has
the second and third grades
with 38 pupils, while her for
mer fourth graders now are in
Ronald Rhodes' room. This
gives him fourth, fifth, and
sixth grades, totaling 42 stu
dents. Harley Baker retains
his seventh and eighth grad
ers, numbering 25.
The increases in enrollment
is due to the number of people
moving in to the community
who are employed on Copco's
Iron Gate dam project on the
Klamath river.
A new project recently
undertaken by the school is
the publication of a school
paper, "The Blue and Gold."
The first issue came "of the
press" last week. It contains
stories of school activities,
sports events and timely car
toons submitted by all grades.
Editors are Shirley Dickison
and Aaron Peters. Reporters,
representing the different
grades are Barbara Burcell,
Bobby Hutchins, Steve Eckert,
Sheila Yeager, Elaine Eckert,
David Rutledge, Ronnie Watt,
Kathy Zanotto, Johnny Rut
ledge and Karen Blakeley.
General manager of the en
terprise is Ron Rhodes. The
students plan to issue the
paper on a monthly basis.
