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.

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.

first in the hearts of his countrymen. - G. W.

SPORTSMAN'S CLUB LEADERS-Among the leaders of the
Central Point Sportsman's club, which is sponsoring a cam
paign to end the killing of does in Oregon, are left to right,
Ed Zander, newly elected secretary and treasurer; Chauncey
Florey, retiring president and leader of the doe petition
effort, and Don Faber, club board member.
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. Lull;
