Tablets Table Rock-We have a pic ture taken Oct. 3, 1862 of President Lincoln and Gen eral McClellan seated at Wble in a tent. Under the picture U this line, "Lincoln and McClellan after Antietam. iucuienan s last battle." They are facing each other across a table strewn with papers and maps. McClellan, with his well-groomed hair ana mustache, tailored unl. form and gold braided should er straps, looks more like Rhet Butler in "Gone With the Wind," than a - soldier, Lincoln has a sorrowful look on his face as if it had become necessary for him to perform a task, that he disliked. This reminds us of when President Truman relieved General McArthur of his com mand during the Korean war. Only Harry Truman didn't let that worry him. He wasn't that kind. Father, during his Army life, had seen both McClol Un and Lincoln. He said that little Mac, as his sold , ien called him, astride his i beautiful horse, made a good picture. But whenit came to winning battles, he ' Just didn't register. At one '. lime, father's regiment was , among a group of regiments .: to be reviewed by the Presi-j- dent and a number of gen i erals, or the big brass as they call them now. Lincoln in this review proved to be . an awkwarc) rider, jostling ;. up and down in the saddle with each movement of his V horse, with his trousers legs creeping up with each jostle. : i McClellan's picture in Harp er's Weekly looks more dash ing than the one in Tuesday's M.T. taken in 1880. To look' at the' 1862 picture, one can understand why the ladies thought he was handsome. a It seems that the cougars are still screaming.. A com munication in Tuesday's M.T. from a person in Illinois who at one time resided in this valley, and given as actual facts, seems very convincing. The details of the story were so thorough that this should be the final word. Cougars did and do scream. Since this story about our local cougars came from way back in Ill inois and happened a long time ago, it makes one think that the person who said: "If you ever heard a cougar scream, you would never for get it," knew what he was talking about. The Paul Read family, who have lived for the past year in the . . Norman ' Matteson 1 house, are moving Saturday into a dwelling on West Main st. in Medford.

As soon as the weather settles th work will be done. ' The continued showery weather is holding up the planting of row crops, while according to Sanford Richard son, the oak leaves are get ting bigger than a squirrels ears, which' means it is high time corn was planted. A few days back we heard an oriole sing. They generally arrive here in June. He must have been surprised if he. heard Bill Roger's frost report. Across the road, the . wavy rows of our neighbor's early corn are showing, so spring must be not so far away. The Bert Pierce family, our good neighbors who formerly lived in Harrison, Ark., are deeply concerned about flood conditions there where they have relative's and friends. At this writing they have been unable to contact them due to disruption of communications lines. Of interest to local people was the recent wedding at the Aubrey Taylor home of Miss Reva Taylor of Gold Hill and Curtis Payne, also of Gold Hill, now in the United States Navy. Mrs. Payne is a sister of Mrs. Aubrey Taylor. Our thought for the day: Mayor Snider's proclamation for setting Medford clocks up one week is just as sensible as setting our clocks up one hour in an effort to get more than 24 hours out of a day.

NO. 14 IN A SERIES Yreka Grandmother Is Active Correspondent Yreka - Mrs. Doris Robin son has been the Mail Trib une's Yreka correspondent for six months. She says "I never dreamed of being -a corres pondent until approached to do so, but I now find that I enjoy writing for a news paper." Mrs. Robinson had no pre vious professional writing ex perience. She had ' her hus band Clarence have two mar ried sons and six grandchil dren. She Is a member of the Greenhorn Grange, the Meth od 1st church, Rotaryanns, Circle and Square dancing club and Pythian Sisters. "I like music, am a member of the church choir, do gar rio Vincent: Eaf le ployment offices all over the country, are cooperating with the Bureau of Employment Security of the U.S. Depart ment of Labor in a study of personal and economic characteristics, work history and unemployment of persons receiving benefits under the Federal Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1961." Van Buskirk explained "It as though they were one unit and divide the pupil load be tween them was adopted by the board. The plan calls for sending first graders from both areas to Jerome Prairie. Wilderville would then have one second, third, fourth and fifth grade, with the pupils returning to Jerome Prairie for the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. There would still be one second, third, fourth and fifth grade at Jerome Prairie. The decision as to which school children in these grades would attend .would be made on a geographical basis with bus transportation in mind. By following such a procedure, double shifting would be avoided, and by making use of the staff already teaching at Wilderville, the problem would be solved by addition of one, rather than three teachers in the area. Repre sentatives of the two areas were in agreement on neces sity of such a move for the existing emergency. However, they felt that until it was completely understood, there would be much criticism by parents from both schools. Church Offer To solve the problem at Fruitdale school which, with all available rooms including its library already in use still needs one extra room, the board empowered Fleming to look into the possibility of using a room at the nearby Church of the Brethren. There was general agreement among Fruitdale representatives that while this could be considered as an emergency measure, it made the need for an ade quate bond issue more press ing. , - ; In discussing the possibility of a bond issue, reported pre viously in the Mail Tribune, the desire to make it an ade quate one, rather than one designed only to solve the im mediate building needs was continually stressed. In order to ascertain not only the im mediate building needs of each county school, but the ones which are most likely to develop in the near future, board members were instruct ed to contact school princi pals and local committees in the areas they represent and return with answers to these questions at a May IS meet ing. . In other action, William Gilmore, board chairman, re ported on a request by James Gleason, deacon of Murphy Chapel, for a meeting with the board concerning books and movies available through the school system which his group considers objectionable. The board agreed to meet with Gleason with the stipu lation that an agenda of things to be discussed be presented one week prior to the meeting so that they might be familiar with books mentioned. They also decided to notify all min isters in the area so that they might attend the meeting and make their feelings on this matter known. The meeting was set for Monday, May 22, in the office of the county school superintendent and the public it encouraged to attend. dening in our large yard and love entertaining our grand children and neighborhood children," Mrs. Robinson says. "Because I belong to sev eral organizations I am always finding myself on a committee of one kind or another," she explains. Mrs. Robinson observes that her most exciting moment as a correspondent came when she unfolded the paper a few Sundays ago and saw a fea ture story she had written about the Siskiyou County museum on the Sunday fea ture page.
