John was a member of the People to Peo-1 pie group which Nat Etzel, the agriculture teacher at i Eagle Point High school, led j through several European countries. The group left Portland on July 16, flew by jet plane to Seattle and then New York City where they spent some time in sight-seeing. Patrick said he was par ticularly impressed by the great numbers of taxi cabs, the Chinatown area and the United Nations Building. The group was fortunate enough to view one of the sessions of this organization. From New York they flew to Scotland where they picked up their guide for the rest of the trip. In Scotland the pipers playing at the airport, the beauty of the country and the farms, and money troubles with shillings, pounds, etc., were the highlights. Their next stop was London where Madame Tussaud's House of Wax, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the great size of the city impressed them most. Paris, France, was the next city they visited. There, money exchange and a lady guide who insisted on leading them with the call "Come my children" provided most of their troubles; and Napoleon's Tomb, the Eiffel Tower, the site of the Bastile, and the garden's of Versailles gave them the most pleasure. From Paris, they flew to Prague, Czechoslovakia, for their first view behind the Only 6 Candidates Have Filed For 7 Gold Hill Positions Gold Hill Only six can didates have filed signed peti tions for offices in the coming election in Gold Hill.

There they were given a very pro-communist guide and a showpiece bus which was used solely to im press tourists. The people whom they were allowed to meet were very friendly and were anxious to trade pins or receive pictures and gum. In Budapest, Hungary, where they went next, signs of the 1956 revolution were still very evident and the peo ple seemed unhappy with their government. The boys Tablets By R. E. Mail Tribune Table Table Rock Local people who attended the Jose phine County Fair at Grants Pass were well pleased with the entertainment offered, the wonderful exhibits of the county granges, and the atmosphere of friendliness shown by the good people of Grants Pass. The grange exhibits reminded of the fair in Medford, which had been going in the red for several years, and was taken over by the county granges. Each of the 16 granges exhibited booths filled with farm products. There were races, and other entertainment put on by those who had been given concessions for that purpose. One day, called Medford Day was set aside for Medford people but all the stores stayed open, and it was one of the poorest days we had for attendance. Bob Fowler, then county agent, was a big factor in making the fair a success. After all the bills were paid, there was $400 left for the Fair fund. The story that old drivers are the cause of most auto accidents being broadcast nowadays, to us is pure unadulterated horse feathers. We could name a dozen drivers in the 70-80 age bracket that have been driving for some 30 to 40 years that never had an accident or citation. Anyone wanting to learn the age group that is involved in the most accidents should ask the insurance people. They keep a tab on drivers and base their rates on losses. Meet Miss Oregon Those who were Sunday visitors at Bill Duggan's open house had the privilege of meeting Miss Marty Wyatt, Miss Oregon. Those who met her say that she was not only talented and beautiful, but a most gracious and lovely lady to meet and talk with. A Sams Valley lady tells this true story of a recent happening. She was seated in the yard gazing at the flowers, wearing a flowered gown with flowers look ing so much like the real blossoms thai a humming bird buzzed her then settled down in her lap, tried to get pollen from the printcrd flowers, then took to the air, buzzed up to her face, looked her in the eye and buzzed off again, returned tried the printed flowers again, buzzed up to her face looked her in the eye, and seemed to say, "You're a cheater," and went back to his business among the real flowers. Tuesday evening business visitors at our front porch were Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Holman of Medford. Bill is in the real estate business and while they were here Victor Croxton, of Sams Valley arrived. Victor is also a realtor, and we marie thp mistake of introducing the two men not mentioning their business, so they immediately got busy trying to sell each other a farm. A sonic boom Wednesday about one o'clock shook things up a bit here, and caused some to look overhead for the jet which was not visible in this locality. Plenty of Noise Our house is about 100 ft. from the highway, and we got plenty of noise as it is, without any booms. When a truck loaded with logs goes zooming past, all conversation stops, and when an airplane goes overhead at the same time, even a warm argument is halted. George Loftin, our Texas friend from the Beagle soil bank region, has hit the campaign trail and was down this way a few days ago, was going full steam ahead reminding voters that there will be an election next November 6 and that the democrats have as fine a line up of candidates as they have ever had from top of the ticket to the bottom. One candidate he mentioned is well known here. Ralph James of Sams Valley, candi date for county judge, who George says is clean, honest, experienced, efficient and responsible. Another candidate he mentioned was Sen. Wayne Morse, who he says is known not only nationwide but world wide for his strict adherence to putting principal above politics. The cutting of alfalfa hay and the filling of silos is going ahead hero with good weather for this kind of work and with onion digging, pear picking in the orchards, this is rather a busy place. The busy season makes it hard to get local news, especially by telephone. Thought for the day Lost somewhere between sun rise and sunset, two golden hours, set with 60 diamond minutes each. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever. Regional Calendar Central Poin I- Tuesday, I 6:30 p.m., Central Point Lions j will hold recvilar meeting. I ... Gold Hill Monday after : school.
