VI 23897 Josephine County November Job Figures Improved Grants Pass - Employment tn Josephine county. Includ ing the Glcndale and Rogue River areas, held at a higher level than usual lor the month of November, accord ing to Don Stiff ler, manager of the Grants Pass office of the Slate Employment serv Ice. The increase was attributed tn apparent stabilization of the local woodworking establishments. Unemployment during the same period, although sub stantially below 1060 figures, was only slightly below last year. Increased migration of workers into the area helped perpetuate the local labor sur plus despite a 100 per cent rise in placements over last year. Stiffler said. Retailing Better Local retailers reported a better than average month for business during November and have increased their staffs for the holiday season. Generally, however, there will be a surplus of workers for the next 90 days. Out door work opportunities have slackened due to wet weather. Construction work has had normal seasonal curtailments, but when weather permits work is available for many. Stiffler reported that the first class of 25 women being trained in electronics assem bly under an area redevelop ment program completed their course the first week of De cember, and a second class of 25 is scheduled to begin Janu ary 7. Tablets By R. E. NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent SERVICE PLANNED Wilderville The Methodist Youth fellowship will hold a candlelight service at the Wilderville church Friday at 7:30 p.m. Plans have been made for a Christmas story under the direction of Mrs. Willard Street. Music will be tinder the direction of Mrs. William Woodward which will be presented after the VISITING Wonder Mrs. John Jacobs Is in Eureka, Calif., viyltina her mother, Mrs. Michel Fielding, who has been ill. Table Rock's youngest and newest citizen is Ron ald Brian Borello, a 6" pounder, ion of Mr. and Mrs. Roland L. Borello. He arrived Dec. 12 and is now making his home on the Table Top Hereford Ranch. The story about the last U. S. Cavalry horse now in retirement at Fort Riley in a recent issue of the Mail Tribune brings to mind a similar story and picture In a local paper back in the Spanish American war. The picture at that time was of two cavalry horses. One was ridden by General Merrilt, a small man weighing about 143 pounds. The other horse was mounted by Gen. Shatter, who weighed more than 30ft lbs. Merrltl's horse seemed to be enjoying himself, as they trotted along. Under the picture were these words, "Merritt's horse hBs the laugh on Shatter's horse." Some years later, we met Gen. Shatter, and believe it or not, we took him for a buggy ride. Shat ter had come out here to spend a vacation, and was staying with the Pendletons, who lived in the house now occupied by the J. S. Richardson family. Father, having been a soldier in the Civil war, had a lot of respect for army officers and It was on his account that we were drafted to to take the general for ride. When he got In the buggy his weight tilted it to one side, and standing up he was so short he looked as if he was sitting down. Well, the buggy ride went well until we turned the horses toward home when a tug came loose, letting the tongue drop, which upset the buggy and freed the team who ran down the road to home. No one was hurt, but when the buggy upset, the General just rolled out like a big bag of wool. Christmas Ought To Be Hera By Now We awoke yesterday morning and heard a disc Jockey say, "This is Dec. 20," which was a surprise to us, as with all the Christmas cards thai have been arriving for the past several weeks, the many shop ping trips by the ladies hunting for something that has been marked up and down several times, the tired look on the mailman's face, and all the decorations and "hidden" presents we see, It would seem that Christmas should be here by this time. Ernest and Lois Smith have their reindeers all hitched and ready to take old Santa to the top of the house. Poor old Rudolf the red nose is missing. It seems his red noBe didn't blend in with the fixings. Arrangements are going ahead for the annual Com munity Christmas tree to be held Saturday night, Dec. 22, at the schoolhouse. Santa Claus will be present and there will be treats for the kiddies. Old Santa Clans, bless his heart, hrotight us the Final Verdict, a book written by Adcla Rodgcrs St. Johns, the daughter of Earl Rodgers, the noted trial lawyer. It gives some new angles to the death penalty Issue. We wonder how many realize how fortunate we Americans are in having a president who is always willing to negotiate, rather than the sword rattling kind, who might press a missile button at any minute. For each and all of you, "A merry Christinas and happiness throughout the coming year," and as a pres ent something new, but if you get what we have got, the flu, it will stick to you like Elmer's glue.

Rogue River Enjoy Annua Rogue River-Students and guests of Rogue River High school enjoyed the annual "Sno-Ball" held December 15, at the cafeteria of the grade school.

Sportsman's Club Told Of Response To Doe Petitions By MARY ALICE BRUSKA Mail Tribune Correspondent Central Point - Chauncey Florey, outgoing president of the Central Point Sportsman's club, reported Monday to a house packed with members and guests on developments in the club's petition drive to end the killing of does. Florey stated that earlier Monday he had received calls from Bend and Roseburg re questing petitions be sent to organizations and individuals in those areas for circulation. Florey also related com plaints made to him by hunt ers from neighboring districts, one man saying he had hunted for five days in one spot that previously had been full of deer, and that this year there were none. Five men searched in an other area that had for 27 years been a good hunting ground, but this year the deer just weren't there, Florey added. Where a buck could be found occasionally, the same didn't hold true for the does. They jusl weren't to be found, he said. Members requested Florey be retained as chairman of the doe petition project, al though a new club president was elected. ' Don Faber said thai if any one man should know the general overall situation from beginning to end, that man was Chauncey Florey. In 1900 Florey killed his first deer in Oregon, and at that time they were plentiful, Faber remark ed. Today il is a different story, even though there is more feed on the west side of the Cascades than ever be fore, he said. It was suggested to the members and all other inter ested persons concerned over this issue to send their own personal letters to the game commission. However, peti tions will be mailed tn all Individuals requesting them. Edward H. Hawkins. Unti ed Slates Navy Recruiting of ficer and a member of the club, stated a recent article on the deer situation in Wiscon sin reported that deer in that state were on the increase. He said this possibly could be due to the fact the hunt ing season is limited to a in day period, with no special hunting permits allowed. Ha w k i n s believes stricter hunting laws would help the problem here. Wilbur Lull reported on the progress of construction of an archery range for the club, slating all arrangements for the new structure should be complete by the next meeting Officers elected for the new year were: president, Don Milligan; vice president.
