This decision was reached at a special meeting last night of the Central Point City council. The proposed bond issue would include construction of a one million gallon reservoir, additional water mains and a pumping station for mainten ance of constant water pres sure. Lloyd Clark, of Clark and Groff engineers, discussed va rious features of the proposed improvements as recommend ed in his company's survey of Central Point's water sys tem. He assured the council that the estimated cost could be met by a $130,000 bond issue. An increase in construc tion costs from the time of the survey and the estimated date, for calling for bids had been anticipated. Clark suggested timing the calling for bids to coincide with the slack construction season in winter months. Bid ding competition at that time would be keener, Clark said. The council also held a pub lic hearing to consider curb ing and paving of Eighth St. Several interested residents attended to voice their appro val. Since no protests were heard the Improvements were ordered and June 6 was set as the date for opening bids. Regional Calendar Eagle Point - Eagle Point High school freshmen will sponsor a mixer night for graduating eighth grade stu dents of Eagle Point, Shady Cove and Elk-Trail schools to night at 8:30 In the high school gymnasium. The mixer will conclude at 10:30. Table Rock - Sydney Ma- pleson, a local boy, was one of the Crater High school sen iors awarded certificates of merit in farm mechanics by the Thor Research Center for Better Farm Living, Huntley, 111. Mapleson showed the greatest farm mechanical abil ity among the graduating class. -'.. Miss Mabel Tyrell, a former resident of the valley, now a missionary with the, Sudan Mission board in Nigeria, Af rica, will speak Sunday, May 20, at the local Sunday school and show curios of her field work in Africa. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Carrell, of the Butte Falls area, where they raise registered horses, were down this way Friday to buy some full sized- bales of hay for their quarter horses. These horses, generally thought of as race horses, are really raised for "cow" horses. They are nimble, sure-footed and fast for this sort of work. - Awhile back we were at a meeting where the many ladies present war wearing hats which seemed mostly to be bouquets of flowers. They made the room look like an apple orchard in full bloom, which caused our al- lergy to begin to flare up, until someone told us the flowers were artificial. What a revolting develop ment! . The Norman Matteson fam ily are moving this week into their own home recently va cated by the Paul Reads, who are now living in Medford. This house, known as the Lydiard house, some SO years ago, was owned and occupied by Mrs. Matteson's grandpar ents, Mr. and Mrs. D. D, Sage and children. After a talk with Bill Glass, the Arkansas trapper and jack of many trades, we couldn't resist the temptation of bring ing up the screaming cougar controversy again. Bill says in the Ozark mountains in Ar kansas panthers are plentiful. Should anyone tell a native there that panthers didn't scream, they would think there was something wrong with his head. According to Bill, panthers or cougars do most of their screaming in early morning or late evening. When emitting these hair rais ing screams they place their front paws on the ground with their nose between them. In reading the county budg et recently completed, i t would seem the committee is more generous than in times past. We recall a budget com mittce meeting of about 30 years ago. William Gore had gone to Washington, D.C., and got a bill passed in Congress giving to the counties certain tracts of timber land claimed by the Southern Pacific rail road. Gore had farmed most of his life, but taught school in his younger days. Records of school District 44 show that he taught there for a salary of $50 a term, the term being three months. Neither of these occupations were very remun erative and Gore wasn't so young anymore. Funds were coming In from the O and C land grant and his friends thought citizens of the county should show their appreciation by giving him a small percentage of the funds he had secured, or at least a worthwhile pension. The mat ter was taken up with the court and budget committee. They said If Gore would apply for an old age pension It would be granted, but for no more than others could get. The only person we know that was getting a pension at that time was man said to be over 100 yean old who was receiving $10 a month. A check with county treas urer's office shows that $2, 314,670 was received by the county for the fiscal year 59 and 60 funds. from the O and C Our genial slave driving boss tells us that when he finished school and was ready to go on his own his father gar him a job at $80 a month -$30 in cash and $50 in experience. We turmise that the $30 has long since departed, but he is still using the experience. We gue.s he may be like others we have heard of, who have the first dollar they made. A fair-sized attendance was recorded by the secretary at last Sunday's session of the local Sunday school. All moth ers were remembered with gifts of flowering plants. Thought for the day: Farmers don't need to set their clocks ahead. They are always ahead of the clocks At times during this season of the year they meet themselves going to bed as they get up in tne morning. N.
