12 B FRIDAY. JUNE 29. 1961 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOhD. OREGON Tablets By R. E. NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent Trailer Houses Restricted Table Rock Ralph Lingenfeltcr of Portland, who died Sunday morning at the Jess Elder home, was in terested in the Vermillion mine, now being developed on the lop of Lower Table Rrock. He with three companions had gone to the mine in a jeep and had just arrived at the mine when he suffered a heart attack. He was taken in the jeep to the Elder home where artifical respiration was applied while a phone call was made for an ambulance. On arrival of the ambulance an oxy. gen tent was put to work, but death. had won the race. We failed to learn the names of Mr. Lingenfelter's com panions, but presume they were Portland people. , Fin Causes Scare A grass fire that started Sunday near the junction nf the Modoc and Antioch roads traveled fast and caused quite a little excitement among people in up river area. Ray Ryan, the rancher-realtor, who came near getting singed while trying to get a path around it with his caterpillar tractor, says he was scared worse than any time in his life. A. C. Allen, Sr. phoned to tell us he wall all right, but it would take some time to get over his scare. The flames pushed by a strong wind for a time, were headed toward the Allen buildings, and it re quired some fast work on the part of those on the fire lines to save them. A. C. has a house close to the river hank, and at times has been threatened by flood waters. We asked him if the flames were worse than the flood waters. He said definitely, yes. The river gives you time to get out while the flames were traveling miles an hour. We remember one time during a flood, A. C. lay fast asleep while the murky waters came under the door, and were gushing under his bed. The Bray buildings for a time were almost surround ed by fire, but the Bray boys got out a garden hose, and kept the roofs wet, until the wind died down. Some people who saw the fire right after it started thought it was started by a careless cigarette smoker. Mrs. Gene Moreland, and four children, who have been staying with her parents at the Jess Elder home left Wednesday to join her husband. Staff Sg't. Moreland who is stationed in Guam, with the Air Force. Cheese Strike The strike at the Vella cheese factory brings this form of settling disputes closer to home and will mean a lot of surplus milk on farms that have been supplying the cheese factory with milk. Old bossy won't know about the strike and will go on producing. With all the many strikes in progress, we wonder if it isn't about time for the farmers to put one one. Most strikes are put on because laborers think their product which is labor, is not bringing enough. Much of the time, farmers do not get enough out of their products to pay the cost of production. A farmer told us during the time that so much griping was going on about supports, and farmers were spoken of as the greedy old farmers riding on the gravy train, that we should all close up and take a year's rest.. He said this would leach the gripers to have more respect for the people who feed the world. This farmer could have done this because he had a side line, where he really made his money. Jc:s Elder has s, tin six rattlesnakes since the season opened. One was a vicious specimen who slashed at Elder without giving the usual warning rattle, missed his mark, hut was quickly put out of commission by a well aimed shot from Elders 22 pistol. Gat Smashed Last Sunday morning the neighborhood was awaken ed by barking dogs and prowlers. A pickup truck was driven through one farm, all gates left open, and when fhe last gale was reached, the pickup was driven through It, smashing the gate, and landing the car in an irriga tion ditch where it lay until pulled out by a tractor. The Slate police located the car owner, who paid damages, but was not the driver of the pickup, having loaned it to a friend. We understand that liquor was involved in this mixup. Several local telephones were out Tuesday when a truck with a huge log turned turtle on the curve near the Table Rock store. The truck was driven by Jerry Kirklin, who was shook up, but no injuries. He said it happened so quick, he didn't know whether the brakes locked, or the log shifted. The truck was damaged ex tensively, and when the windshield fell out, the driver came out through the hole where the windshield had been we don't have, than to have what we don't appreciate.
