NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent pi WWW We have recently received some more evidence con firming our claim that the city of Grants Pass was named for General U. S. Grant, but we are not going to dig this up again. However, we are going to submit this supposedly true story to brace up our opposition to capital punishment. We all know that in early days horse stealing called for the death penalty. According to this recorded story, in a California community, a mob hanged a man for supposed horse stealing, but afterward discovered he was innocent. The mob's mes senger broke the news to the victim's widow in this manner. "We hanged Jim for stealing a horse, but came to find out he didn't do it, so I guess the joke's on us." Mr. and Mrs. John Morris have moved from Central Point to the Morris ranch, where they expect to reside permanently. Richard and wife are occuping a room at the Table Rock store for the present. The recent Mail Tribune story about the Chautauqua building in Ashland reminds us of attending a meeting there when Billy Sunday, the noted evangelist, preached a sermon to an audience that packed the house. When he began to get warmed up in his fight with the "devil", he took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and really made the rafters ring. This recent news item might be interesting to those who voted for repeal to do away with bootlegging: "Bootleg whiskey makes up more than one fifth of all the whiskey sold in the United States, state liquor agents were told here Wednesday. Victor Aldrige, chairman of the Alcoholic Beverage Control commission, says the best information available shows that more than 50 million gallons of bootleg whiskey on which no taxes were paid was sold last year. Walter Noack, another member of the liquor control commission, says liquor sales to minors is the biggest problem we have today." During the campaign to repeal the prohibition amend ment, several interested local people went about the county making four minute talks against the repeal. We remember talking to a group of people. After we had finished, a nice old lady said if she knew it would work out as we said she would surely vote against repeal, but she was told that all the young people were getting bootleg liquor and that many people were going blind. We tried to tell her she couldn't compromise with the liquor interests, so the repeal measure carried, and we are reaping the results. Mrs. Violet Hamilton has received word of the death of her stepfather, L. R. Gregory, on Friday, Dec. 11, at Roseburg, Oregon. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Lewis, and children, of Winston, Oregon, spent Thanksgiving day here with Mrs. Lewis's mother at the Violet Hamilton home. Speaking of people getting taken in by those who work only for profit, we heard this from the Sams Valley mechanic: He had himself fitted with eye glasses, at a cost of some $50. These proved to be poorly made and worthless to him. When he took them back to get an adjustment, or his money, he was told an adjustment would cost him. $26 more. So this conversation ensued: "When Jessie James went out to hold up someone, he had a horse and a gun. You have neither but do a better job of robbing people than he did." The glass man was sullen and as the mechanic's blood pressure began to rise he said, "Such swindlers as you ought to be torn apart, and if you give me any back talk, I might just do it." Here they parted. To protect other people in this business, we will mention that this fly by night is not in the valley any more. Thought for the day J. H. Creager of the Bell Tele phone Co. says even though the company sends in the check, our customers foot the tax bill. We hope Copco realizes this also, and that the farmer feeds them all.

Another highlight of the evening's entertainment in cluded free prizes of movie passes and ball point pens fol lowing each dance.

An important way we can prove him wrong is to keep strong financially as individuals and as a Nation. When you put your savings in U.S. Savings Bonds, you do more than save for a rainy day. You also help make sure of "sunny days" ahead to spend that money in. The money you save isn't going to do you much good unless you have the freedom to spend it. Freedom to use it as a down payment on a new home of your own, for ex ample. Or a college educa tion for your children. You see, while U.S. Sav ings Bonds are earning inter est for you, Uncle Sam put your dollars to work in the interest of freedom. Every dollar you invest helps strengthen our economy here at home; helps our Nation stand up. for freedom all over the world. And then your money ' comes back to you ... $4 for every $3 you invest when your Series E Bonds mature. You can put your savings to work doing double duty by buying Savings Bonds at your bank ... or on the Payroll Savings Plan where you work. Why not look into it now?
