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.

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.

Walker's recommendation
that Ozzie Newland be ap
pointed to replace Van Horn

years.

riods, he said. He was elected
in November 1960 and took
office Jan. 1, 1961. Van
Horn's unexpired position on
the council, if filled by New
land, will be open for a 2 year
term in the November, 1962
election as will the council
seat now held by Stanley
Ncwnhnm who was appointed
to replace Virgil Gribblc.
Successful candidates in the
November election for these
two short term positions on
the council will take office
Jan. 1. 1963.
Also Expire
Delos Walker. Hilton Brig
nol, and Kendal Dufur now
hold four year term council
seals that will expire Jan. 1,
1963. Brignol was appointed
last spring to the unexpired
term held by Fred Lester.

was elected in November I960
and took office Jan. 1, 1961
to serve a four year term.
Besides electing five conn
cilmen at the November elec
tion, voters will also elect a
city recorder - treasurer and
mayor. These two year term
positions now held by Kcrd
Jones and Milton Steinmetz
respectively will expire Jan.
1, 1963.
Candidates seeking city of
fices must file petitions not
less than 30 days nor more
than 60 days prior to the Nov.

Van Horns resignation be
came effective at the clos: of
the July 2 council session.
Walker, president of the coun
cil, presided in the absence of
Mayor Steinmetz. Councilmen
Dufur and Newnham were absent.
Protests of several proper
ty owners in the west end of
the city were slated in letters
to the council opposing the
location of a proposed substa
tion in that section of town by
Pacific Power and Light com
pany.
Pacific Power and Light
company has been exploring
the possibility of locating a
new substation in town. 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.
Street Patching
Ernest Kcll, city mainte
nance man. was instructed to
investigate prices of fertilizer
and was given authority to
purchase the cheapest for ap
plication on the lawn at the
city park. It was reported the
grass is turning yellow in
spots.
In response to Police Chief
Earl Cox's suggestion that
planning for black topping
and patching of streets in Au
gust be considered, Walker
named Councilman Straus
and Kell to met with Dufur,
street committeeman, to de
termine the work that needs
to be laken care of this year.
The three men will make an
inspection of all streets in the
city.

Grants Puss - A caravan oi
91 trailers, reminiscent of !
wagon trains of old. passed
through here last week on its
way from southern California

stopped in Grants Pass over
night and camped at the city
park.

tended by the city to the visi

marking them as guests of
Grants Pass. They were en
j titled to free parking, the Hol
iday motel opened its plunge
to them and the golf course
was free.
! There were -111) people in
jthe caravan, including 41)
I children, ranging in age from
2 to 811. Included were a fed
eral judge, a Ventura county
judge, doctors, writers. U.S
Navy commanders, Army maj
ors, bemilieians, ministers,
lawyers, and a TWA pilot.
Thirty-one trailer clubs
were represented in the group,
traveling under the name ot
Fireball Tra i I e r c a r a v a n.
Many of the trailers were
from Utah. Colorado and Tex
as, although t ho majority
