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.

Rural Reflections
By MAUDE Z1EGLER
Some California motorists
were commended recently for
Iheir attention to a roadside
fire a few miles below Ruch
that would have flamed up
into incense cedars and caus
ed a serious fire had they nol
attempted to put it out.
The Californians were us
ing their canteen of water as
llenny LePiniec came by and
culled their attention to an
irrigation ditch near by.
Henny contributed a shovel
and burlap sack, and the
group soon had the fire con
trolled. The Californians were
Mr. and Mrs. R. Waldo Rob
erts and son of Oakland. Mr.
Roberts snid he is a native of
Josephine counly, and the
group had been visiting in
Klamath.
