. FRIOAY. Table Rock-A recent letter from regional editor, ' John Stafford to M.T. correspond ents, tells us we are invited to and urged to attend a "pow wow" and luncheon today at the Jackson hotel in Medford. A film, showing the Chicago Tribune being produced will be shown, and discussions on publicizing events and prob lems in getting news from some sources will be held. This will be a good chance for the old time quil) users to get acquainted with the many new ones. Following the meeting, a tour of the M.T. and various departments will be held. In checking the list o 22 correspondents, we find we are the only male in the bunch. All the rest arc lady scribes, with John Stafford and me being the only men to be at the party. We wonder if we hadn't better take our wives alone: for protection Otherwise Stafford and I will lnnm nn like a couple of ' moths in a flower garden with ' a swarm of lady bugs. ' In a recent editorial by E.A., the Table Rock cor- respondent was referred to 1 (as a "knowledgeable cor respondent." Not having seen the word used that ' way before,' we looked it up In the dictionary and found ji-:- J . I I I I t a n. "HaV- rzms u m - 'ing or showing knowledge !or intelligence."

When we told him we weren't' looking for her, but were hiding from her, he looked like he thought he had spilled the beans. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Smith are leaving jriaay ror row land, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Norton, to attend a show sponsored by the re tail . lumber manufacturers.

Happy Camp, Calif., will con duct special religious services at the school house Monday, Feb. 13 through, the 17, at " 7:30 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend these services. Having heard that an old pioneer friend was under the weather, we stopped the other day at the Joe Mayf icld home in the Sams Valley - Beagle area. There we met him com ing from the barn with a wheelbarrow load of baled hay which he was taking to feed cattle on a rather steep hill. Although we knew the Mayfields to be a sturdy, hard working race of people, we ' hardly expected to see a sup posedly sick man doing this kind of work. During our con versation we learned some in teresting things. Joe is 82 years old, wears no glasses, but regularly reads the M.T. and Tablets, cats anything from soup to nuts, but hasn't a tooth in his head. In speak ing of .his ability to shoot a rifle, he told us about shoot- ' ing a coyote that had been do ing a lot of howling on the . hillside some 200 yards away , and hitting him dead center. This coyote was peculiar in ' that he didn't have a sign of a tail, Its hind parts shaped like a manx cat. The May fields are pioneers of southern and western Oregon, many of them and their close relatives ... can be found from Canada to California. , - . President Kennedy hat j said thai his appointees will be judged by what they ac .. eomplish and not by the '10 B FEBRUARY 10. 1961 ets. Too bad this couldn't be universal. We have no ticed many times that an elected or appointed official after taking over the office soon begins to want help from some good friend who needs a job. so complains that his office is under staffed. What he wants is to have it overstuffed, which usually he succeeds in do ing. PTSA Discusses Problems of High School Students Grants Pass-A discussion of problems of high school stu dents at the junior level was the topic of the panel of teach ers at the junior sectional meeting of the Grants Pass High School PTSA Tuesday evening, Feb. 7. ' : Panel members included Mrs. Maxine Jones, Howard Harrison. Charles Bothwell, Stanley Marchington, and Thomas Dcnney. Denney spoke of the value of counseling service ' and guidance as a means of cutting down on absenteeism, juvenile difficulties with the law and students dropping out of high school. In the years since such help has been available at ninth grade levels and lower, the - amount of students dropping out of high school has almost been cut in half. Denney. said that continued absences from school were a warning that trouble was de veloping and that if individual contacts could be made with the students at this early stage, much good could be accomplished. The idea could be ; conveyed to the student that someone was interested in them and their problems. Explains Tests , Harrison explained the many tests being given on national levels to college prepatory students, some as early as the sophomore year. He pointed out the advisabil ity of having junior students, with college In mind, take college entrance examinations and then repeat them, if neces sary, in their senior years. In this way they would become less nervous over the idea of the test, more familiar with its pattern and, in almost all Instances, colleges would ac- cept the better of the two grades. He urged parents to let their children assume responsibility and make their own decisions right now, so that they might approach the adjustments required when they go to college on a more mature level. Describes Activities Mrs. Jones, a junior class faculty adviser, limited her discussion to a description of the main activities for Juniors In the remaining semester of school. She mentioned the jun ior prom to be held in April and suggested that parents en courage their sons or daugh ters to volunteer for commit tees te work on this affair, stressing that everyone's help would be appreciated, and that the students themselves would benefit from the friend ships made during the process oi helping. She explained the plan fol lowed in the selection of jun ior girls to carry the rose arches for the high school graduation, making It quite clear that any girl who want ed to participate was wel come. Girls collect and make their own arches and she made mention of the type pf simple dress to be worn. Marchington concluded the discussion with a description of the class picnics to be held May 26. He requested parent cooperation in not encourag ing students to take their own cars to the picnics. He suggest ed that students be encour aged to attend these picnics.

A n o m I n a ting committee to choose a slate of officers for next year was elected consist ing of Mrs. Boyd Hixson, chairman, Mrs. Ted .
