Central Point Camp 3219 Royal Neighbors of Ameri ca, held its monthly meeting Tuesday at the J. S. Rich ardson home. A noon lunch was eaten in the shade of the big oaks. Henry and Betty Shaknis, of the smoglcss valley of chief Sam, tarried for a little chit chat Tuesday. Henry has traded his old Maxwell for a beautiful car of a later model, which he is very fond of. His only worry now he says is too many careless drivers on the road. Drinking Trainmen According to latest information regarding Ihe dis astrous wreck of the passenger train in Montana, both the engineer and fireman had been drinking. The rail road people must not be as strict about drinking as they used to be. We remember back about 1915. we were helping lake a (rain load of cattle to the S.F. market, a cattle man in Ihe caboose had a bottle of whiskey which he was passing around, but when he offered the conductor a drink, he refused, said he didn't drink any way but If headquarters heard he had taken a drink of liquor while on duty his job would end right there. So the ladies are going to wear wigs. We suppose there will be many types and colors and a different one for diffrent occasions, and always it must not clash with milady's dress or other apparel. Bald-headed hubby will not fit too well in this picture, so we predict that the llttdle woman will see that the "head of the house" gets a wig, perhaps a dark one for church, and red white and blue one for 4th of July, and so on. The George Washing ton type with the braid down the back should be popular. We predict a bright future for the wig business, pro viding the men don't resent it, and go to wearing whiskers. Ralph James, the Sams Valley Democrat, and candi date for County Judge, stopped in Monday to remind us of the Democratic picnic to be held Sunday after noon at the Valley of the Rogue park near the city of Rogue River. Speakers at Ihe after lunch program will be Senator Wayne Morse; Speaker of the House Bob Dun can, candidate for Congress for the 4th district; and La bor Commissioner Nielsen. This will be a joint affair for Jackson and Josephine county democrats. It is ex pected that a large crowd will attend to enjoy the pro gram and the picnic in one of our new parks. New Constitution Opposed A goodly number of Sams Valley Grangers met Sat urday evening at TouVelle Park for their annual picnic dinner. After partaking of a sumptous dinner of home cooked foods, lecturer Victor Croxton, brought before the members some issues of vital importance to Oregon Grangers. Among these were the proposed new State Constitution, which if adopted as some would like to have it, would practically knock out the initiative and referendum, already badly hurt by laws passed requiring an excessive number of signatures to get a measure on the ballot. Those present were asked how many voted for the new proposed constitution. The answer was none, and none wanted it. Several spoke against it, but none in favor of it. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth While, and son, Mission San Jose, Calif, visited the Bert Pierce family one day last week. Mrs. White is Bert's sister. Steven Pierce, Medford is staying with Uncle Bert and family during part of his summer vacation. Mrs. Elmer Maloney and children spent a few d3ys recently in San F. visiting a sister and seeing points of interest. Mrs. Glen Smith, Modoc Orchard, is suffering from a broken ankle.

Rogue River Street To Get New Lights By LAURAINE LAWS Rogue River - The Rogue River City Council has been successful in its effort to get better lighting on Depot st. where it crosses under the Interstate 5 freeway. At last week's council meet ing a letter was read from the State Highway department ad vising the cily that the de partment will install six light ing units in the near future. The city will maintain the lights after they are installed and will pay for the power used. The Depot st. section has been without lighting since the original lights were taken out to make way for the new freeway. Another letter from the Slate Highway department was read advising the city that its request for a sign change on Interstate 5 has been turned down. The coun cil wanted the sign changed from "Rogue River' 'to "City of Rogue River." Such a change would be too expen sive, Ihe highway department replied. A 30-day extension was asked on the time limit to re move the stock pile of gravel the city purchased recently from R. L. Houck Sc Sons. George Magerle advised the council it would be wise to have the streets scarified be fore applying the gravel in order to have a satisfactory job done. Mayor Larry Shee han appointed Roy Strickland, one of the councilman, to check into the matter of rent ing heavy equipment to be used on the scarfiring and j tearing up the streets ready ing them for gravel and fin- ishing. ! The gunniling of the Old i Wards Creek well has been completed, it was reported. Lengthy discussion took place concerning improve ment of Third st., due to the fact that approximately one half of the users of this street have homes outside the city limits, Third st. itself being the boundary line. But all members of council agreed this street is badly in need of repairs and voted to go ahead with repairs. The streets near the schools are being repaired at the present time.
