Grabow 1365 Kings Hwy., Medford Phone 772-85o0 Ultrasonic Cleaning Electronic Timing WE BUY OLD COLD! nnrri c a It would be interesting to know how many of those who read the Thanksgiving day poem printed on today's picture page memorized the lines when they were small boys or girls. Potpourri did, and so did Pappy and FB and Pal Peg and various others of the Mail Tribune staff. No one, how ever, remembered who had written this bit of classic Ameri cana, and Pal Peg had to do research in the office and at the library before the author could be established and the entire poem could be read and re-printed. Today's early winter scenes were taken by Photographers Kenn Knackstedt and Margie Good. They are pinch-hitting for Photographer Bob Vroman, convalescing at his home follow ing a session with a surgeon and a stay in the hospital. KK took the covered bridge scene in Sunny valley, Josephine county, and the bridge is across Grave creek. Margie, a SOC student, contributed the picture of two students stroll ing along a path on Cherry heights, and the water shot was made along Ashland creek in Lithia park. The staff has enjoyed putting out this Thanksgiving page, decided that today's pictures matched the mood and spirit of the poetry. We did wish that there had been some snow on the ground, but when the pictures were taken last Sun day, there wasn't any snow in the southern Oregon valleys. A week later it might have been a different scene, since snow fell Thursday and Friday. Thanksgiving day we're going to try and find five minutes to "be thankful." We can't write poetry, but we can say, in simple English, that we're truly and deeply thankful for home, family, friends and country. We're going to look out on our somewhat bedraggled garden, and at the colorful leaves of the orchard across the way, and forget about the Cuban crisis, and the cold war, and be thankful that we live in peaceful, rural, southern Orcgon.-O.S.
