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.

According to Miss Linda
Doran, president of the local
Community club, materials
are on order for repairing
the fence and premises at
the monument marking
General Lane's treaty sign
ing with the Rogue Kiver
Indians. 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.

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

ried sons and six grandchil

receiving benefits under the
Federal Temporary Extended

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.

is expected that information

how effectively the - tempor

compensation program; as
well as state and federal un

in general, are meeting their
objectives.
A group of unemployment
claimants selected at random
will be asked to complete a

answers to questions not
asked at regular unemploy

according to Van Buskirk
"These special questions deal
with the claimant's marital
status, number of dependents
in family, other wage earners
in the family, pensions re
ceived if any and work and

cently.
"All information obtained
will be held in strict confi
dence as law requires. Infor
mation obtained will not be
revealed in any way which
will enable the individual
claimant to be identified,1
Van Buskirk commented.
"Answers will be grouped

information regarding per
