1LL FRIDAY, JULY 6. 1962 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Tablets By R. E. NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent Table Rock Since doctors are very much in the lime light at this time, we are going to record a little experi ence we had with one some 60 years ago. An ad in a Medford paper told of a doctor with an office in what was then called the Nash hotel who claimed he could cure all your ills with a few inexpensive treatments. Diagnosis was free, you only paid if you took the treat ments. As we were not feeling quite up to snuff, we call ed at his office, and after a brief examination, mostly questions, we were told we had a gall bladder infection. We left without signing up for treatments as there were other customers waiting. The following day, we were in town, so dropped into the doctors office and after a more extensive examination we were told we had blad der trouble, so the following dialogue took place: "You told me yesterday, I had gall bladder infection." "Were you in here, yesterday?" "Yes." "Then why did you come here today?" "To see what I had today." It was obvious that he hadn't realized it was the same person whom he had said had a gall bladder in fection. Although this was an actual happening, it is not meant to criticize or discredit our doctors. They are a vital necessity, and great help to us In our way of living. This doctor should have had an office girl. Accident Cause We were told several years ago by a state policeman that the principal cause of traffic accidents on the high way was liquor and speed, the first having a tendency to bring on the other, yet almost any day we see people gulping down beer, just previous to taking off down the road in a high powered car. Twenty years ago the local gentler sex must have been watching their figures according to this line In Art Perry's smudge Pot. "Many of the older girls are in the orchards thinning the pears and themselves." The Fourth of July passed very quietly here with out the old time noisemakers. We remember hanging about a dozen sticks of dynamite to tripods over the hard road, then lighting them one at a time. This time we discharged a 20 gauge shot gun a few feet from the house, but didn't wake anything but a woodpecker that was roosting under the eaves. We are told that it rains alike on the just and unjust, rfnd so with the frost, several local fields of corn were nipped Monday morning. According to word from Bethel, Kan., Mark Bishop is constructing an 8-plex rental apartment. What Became of Old Cannon It would be interesting to know what has become of the old cannon of civil war days, it used to be used here at Fourth of July celebrations and Grand Army of the Republic conventions. It was when loaded with black powder and wet burlap sacks for wadding, one of the greatest noisemakers in the valley. Mrs. William Bishop, and four daughters, Candy, Linda, Gail, and Joyce, left Thursday, for their home In Bethel, Kansas, after a two weeks visit with relatives and friends here and throughout the valley. During their stay here they visited many familiar places they had known when they lived here, attended birthday parties, and dinners given by relatives, went swimming in the river, and finally attended a picnic dinner in beautiful TouVelle Park, where some 30 relatives were seated at one table. Two of the girls made their home with aunt Doris and Uncle Emmett before the rest of the family arrived, and things are rather quiet around here since they all left. There was never a dull moment, but we loved it. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Robinson and family, accompanied by Greg Robinson, of Napa, Calif., spent a few days at Crescent City, and continuel on up the coast to North Bend camping out In one of the beautiful State Parks. Thought for the day Not what you get, but what you give is that which proves your right to live. t. jK NEW HOME Bruce Spain of Shady Cove found this little duck not long after it had been hatched in a riverside nest The duck had been abandoned and was nearly dead when found. Bruce improvised an incubator from a cardboard box and a light bulb, and by the following day "Waddles" was strong enough to swim and walk. It now is not an unusual sight to see the duck following Bruce wherever he goes. The Spains say Waddles is a very enjoyable pet, but they expect him to find a friend in the duck family and fly away this fall.

At the June 7 session the council went on record to accept the planning commission's sugges tion that location of the pro posed substation in the center of town on Southern Pacific property would not be in the best interest of the city, and recommended the west end of town as a possible location.
