NEALON Mail Tribune Table Keck Correspondent Table Rock Preparations ire going ahead lor the meeting of the Jackson County Retired Teachers associa tion to be held Monday, June 11, commencing at 1:30 In the shade of the big oaks at the J. S. Richardson home. . All retired teachera of the county are invited. Table Rock Ladies Club ia holding its last meeting of the season Wednesday June 13, at Touvell Park. Mrs. Bert Pierce, Mrs. R. E. Nealon and Mrs. Elmer Maloney are in charge of arrangements. All present and past members are Invited. The misses Candy and Linda Bishop arrived here Wednesday from Bethel, Kansas, coming by train, bus, and car, are at present located at the R. E. Nealon home. They expect to be in thia area for some time, while visiting with their numerous cousins, aunts, and uncles, and former friends. They were somewhat surprised at the cool reception they received from the weather man, who recorded temperatures In the thirties, compared to 80 to 90 degrees, which prevailed In Kansas when they left there. The temperature here Sunday morning went awful close to the danger point, and one orchard worker said the reason they didn't light the orchard heaters, ' because there was no oil in them. Socialised Medicine In the county budget recently completed by the budg et committee is large item for the health department which Includes a county doctor, nurses, office space equipment and medicine. We wonder why this Is not called socialized medicine along with medicare. Is it because the first Is paid for by the Jackson county tax payers, and the latter by the government out of income tax money? Back in the early days of social security we heard similar talk, some claiming the plan socialistic, not need ed, and not wanted, others claiming they wouldn't take It if offered to them on a silver platter. Times must have changed, for as far as we know there are no social security checks left unclaimed in the post office. Seeing several of the familiar yellow envelopes In a small grocery store, we asked the proprietor if social security checks were any help to his business. He replied that if it wasn't for the social security checks, he wouldn't have any business. Ike and Hia Farm ' In our last column we scratched a foot note In re gard to Paul Havery's radio broadcast where he stated with emphasis that Gen. Eisenhower said he would rather go to jail than submit to the Kennedy farm plan, and that he never took a cent of government money for his farm. According to those who are supposed to know, he did take pay for crop adjusments on his farm. What we wanted to say was if our farmers were not better producers than Ike there wouldn't be any crop surpluses. The reason this didn't appear was because Cleve couldn't read the scribbling. (Also had to shorten col umn Ed.) Speaking of supports and surpluses, we remember during World War One we came near having a (amine. Wheat, what there was of It, went to $3 and 14 a bushel, and was still going up when the government slapped a ceiling on It. Things got to bad that anyone with a supply of (lour was asked to give what they could spare to help out the shortage of wheat and flour, which was world wide. Farmers usually took wheat to the mill, and brought back a supply of flour, from 800 to 1000 lbs,, depending on size of family. Father, and many other farmers took part of their supply to the re ceiving center. Thought for the Day M. T. correspondents can : handle your subscription and want ads for you.

Cost of Telephones In Drew Outlined Drew G. A. O'Mealy of Myrtle Creek met with the people of the Drew commu nity May 2 to discuss the cost of bringing telephones to Drew. From the 13 applications for phones, California-Pacific Utilities company arrived at he following figures: In Project 1 which Includes 10 applicants and goes to the Gilbert Bonney residence there would be 34,262 feet of construction, of which the phone company would pay for 10,000 feet or 1000 feet per applicant. Construction charge for the remaining 24, 282 feet would be $1819.97 or $181.97 per applicant. Project No. 2 which would run from Bonney's to the Gil liam places would require 18,739 feet of construction with a tree allowance of 3,000 feet. Cost of construction $1030.43 or $343.48 for each of the three applicants. However, this was not con sidered a true picture alnce several persons besides the 13 original applicants have shown a desire for a phone. O'Mealy said there was a possibility the two projects could be combined into one project 'if enough people wanted phones and the cost to everyone would be consider ably reduced. The cost per patron would cover the cost of Installation of phones and the monthly rental would be $3.28 plus .33 tax.
