REGIONAL NEWS Tablets Table Rock-The Table Rock Community club will meet Saturday night at the school house starting with a potluck dinner at 6:30. Members are asked to bring a plant that some other member might like. Twice in the past week we have had to crawl into a white shirt and act like we were sophisticated enough to enjoy it. Last Saturday at 2 p.m. we attended the wedding of Miss Shirley McCallister and Carl Vanderpool in the Community Bible church at Central Point. The church was filled with friends who witnessed a beau tiful ceremony which joined Shirley and Carl in holy wed lock. The happy couple is spending their honeymoon at Grand Canyon, and we join with their many friends in wishing them much happiness. Saturday night w at lopded the Roosevelt Me morial dinner; in Medford, and after partaking of a sumptuous dinner, listened to" in usual excellent pro gram. Among the many fea tures we heard repeated gain the magic words of President Roosevelt, "we have nothing to fear but fear itself." At that time it elemed our country was about to go into a tail spin. ana we wen rememoer what effect it had on re storing courage and, confi dence to all the people. ' ' v yfe were seated at the table net to the Paul Hanlins, and : during our conversation made a terrific mistake by asking 1 Mrjj. Hanlin if Paul hadn't . been , a Republican. She re plied that she didn't know how we could imagine that, as he iad always been a Demo crat. She said that when Alf Landon ran against Roosevelt 101 the presidency, Landon ; didn't get a single vote in their precinct. John Vara; from the vicinity of Bill Duggan's smogglers, was up this way Wednesday selling an instant repair kit for flat tires.

One who has been around thelj Rogue valley for three fodrths of a century is bound to.encounter some somber v reflections as time marches on and old friends and acquaint ances pass over the great di vide. One of these occasions was the recent passing of Geroge Dunn, who we highly reSDected for his friendlv in telligent ways, high sense of humor and unbiased opinions of'others. We have a picture of Oregon legislators in the 1895 session. Jackson county was represented in the lower house byGeorge Dunn, S. M. Nealon and John Jeffrey, and in the senate by S. H. Holt. We have been told that at that time Jackson county had two sena tors, but tnere is only one in the-"picture. George Dunn was a Republican, Jeffrey, Nealon ' and Holt were Populists or members of the People s party. - .... ; Visitors at last Sunday's , session of the local Sunday school were John Stafford, PHOENIX ;hardware Sherwin-Williams Paints OPEN : SUNDAYS r 10 a.m. to Noon .

Later they were luncheon guests at our house. Mrs. Stafford was raised in Michigan but likes our state much better. She enjoyed holding the bottle while .our bummer lamb gulped his dinner. Many years ago, when my folks had not been in this valley very long, I heard mother tell that while doing the supper dishes one night she heard a blood curdling scream much like that of a terrified woman. After a moments pause there was another somewhat closer, then at regular intervals the screams were heard closer each time until it seemed that the maker of the screams passed the house. Then they became dimmer, finally fad ing out completely. Mother knew very little about coug ars, but the neighbors told her that what she heard was a cougar going from Upper Table Rock down the line fence that wasabout 50 yards irom our nouse to the river. . After reading Almus Pruitt's communication about scream ing cougars, we decided to check with Kerby Tant, the government trapper. We thought that information he could give us about cougars would be like getting it right from the cougar's mouth. But unfortunately, for those who believe cougars scream, Kerby has never heard one, although he has killed dozens of the beasts. He has caught and made pets of young ones, which at times would make a sort of whistling noise. Since this was written, Kerby was down this way, checking on some coyote complaints. He tells me that he never heard a cougar scream, but firmly believes they did in past years. Many old timers have told of in stances where they were in close quarters with scream ing cougars. ! Otis Hedge, a patient at the county farm home, was a Sun day visitor with relatives at the Everett Brown home.
