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

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.
