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.

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.
