MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON FRIDAY, AUGUST 17. 1962 Tablets By R. E. NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent The recent passing of Moore Hamilton was a severe shock to his friends here where he was well known and frequently visited. To try to write of his death would be like writing our own obituary, as he was one of the fam ily, husband of our baby sister. Eric Allen's editorial in Tuesday's Mail Tribune gave a far better description of Moore and his busy life than we could, but we who were close and worked with him, knew of his kindly, gentle ways and consideration of others. Although a party man, he never questioned anyone's ability, honesty, or loyalty because of their party or church affiliation. We saw him operate a business when the chips were down, but never knew him to abandon his pleasant optimism and sense of humor. A friend down Gold Hill way remarked that it is the good that die young, and that's why he and I are still hanging ground. In a recent conversation with Don Gardner of the Midway eMat Packing co. we were surprised to learn we had such a large processing plant in this area. The Midway Meat Packing co. we were surprised to learn operated by Mr. and Mrs. DonalJ R. Gardner, is fed erally graded, and state inspected with excellent grades in each. Besides many cattle and sheep slaughtered be tween 7,000 and 8.000 hogs are butchered and processed each year and sold mostly in Jackson County. There are 10 to 12 employees on the payroll all the time. Much custom work of cutting, wrapping and pre-cooling is done. The Gardners have operated this plant for the past nine years, but now find their business has outgrown their room and facilities. At present work is under way to extend the floor space and install more facilities which will be of the latest modern design. This improvement work will cost some $25,000 and is expected to be com pleted in the near future. It may be our imagination but for several nights the moon has looked extra large and a little egg shaped, with a worried look on the man's face. Could it be that with all this talk about taking shots at the moon, he is getting worried. A lady from the Beagle area asked us the other day If we had been up the Beagle road lately, when we said we hadn't, she said we ought to come up that way and see what's going on. Wo are being invaded by Cali fornians. They are buying acreages large and small, and building houses of many different types. Another Beagle lady had about the same story, and when we asked her if she had called on any of her new neighbors, she replied that she had not, as a friend told her she railed at one new home but didn't think they acted as if they wanted anyone snooping around. Pear picking is scheduled to start the first of next week in local orchards. Thought for the DayWe are not going to say they won't put a man on thp moon. We remember when youngsters read about a cow jumping over the moon.
