NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent A large number of ladies, Including some halt dozen visitors from other valley points, attended the Wed nesday meeting of the local ladies club at the home of Mrs. J. S. Richardson. In the Harpers Weekly of April 27. 1861, is a picture of President Lincoln, by Brady, with the following: "We publish herewith a photograph Just taken espe cially for this paper which is the first accurate por trait that has been published since he began to grow his beard." This is one of the best pictures we have ever seen of Lincoln, so clear and bright, showing every detail, and makes one think that our present newspaper photographers have nothing on Brady. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Wyatt; of Central Point, former operators of the Table Rock store, were calling on friends here Wednesday. Ray was checking up on the pheasant population. Charley Hoover And The Lettuce Last Sunday we journeyed, with many others, to the Eagle Point grange hall to help Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hoover celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. We have known the Hoovers for a long time, but can't say they look any older than they did 50 years ago. Charley's optimism has kept them always working and looking for something better. Hence, time has flown without leaving too many wrinkles. ; Charley told me he likens himself to the old cow who- was always trying to get Into the cabbage patch, so she could get her fill of cabbage, but when she finally got into the patch, she had lost her teeth and couldn't chew the cabbage. In Charley's case, in later years he got into the lettuce, with which ho is feeding the birds, giving trees by the thousands to school children in many areas to be net out and to furnish shade and beauty to the landscape and be a comfort and joy to those who dwell hero after Charley has gone on. We join with many others in wishing the Hoovers many more happy anniversaries. Some dozen neighbor families held a surprise house warming party at the home of Mrs. Violet Hamilton and her son Ernest, Friday night. A game that required a good memory and quick thinking caused a lot of mer riment. Later refreshments were served and visitors went through the modern house, inspecting the new gadgets and push button operations. To Ihe teenagers that are gelling started in the cig arette habit we offer this from Earl Hodgcrs, the great trial lawyer, who, in trying to clear a young man who had brutally slain his sweetheart, gave these reasons why he should not be hanged. "From the age of 13, he was addicted to the use of cigarettes. Vou have the word of the physician of the juvenile court that the smoking of cigareilcs by a boy whose brain is still growing, had an effect of deterioration and traumatic disturbance." In plain words, the brain docs not de velop as it should. Of course, If you should shoot your girl friend, cigarettes might ;sevc you from hanging. Old Tims Stories Next Week ' Most of the readers of the Tablets like old time stories, but since It is hard to find anyone older than we are to tell or corroborate ours, we are In a fix. However, we have some old letter and newspaper clippings which we will use in next Friday's Tablets, which we may dedicute to old timers. 1 Firemen Training Course Planned In Shady Cove Shady Cove A training course for all volunteer fire men and any other interested parties will be offered begin ning Monday, Feb. 25, at the Shady Cove fire hall at 7:30 p.m. This course is sponsored by the Department of Vocational Education, Salem, and will be taught by a qualified instruc tor.

"Nobody seems to have time for them in the over crowded classrooms of public or parochial schools. Being slow to learn, they are criti cized and made to cry by un thinking children. They find themselves unable to keep up with the rest of the class. "Even in their own simple way, when all their actions are misunderstood, they still possess capabilities. They can learn. Maybe they will never hold a supervisory position, but they can be taught realis tic and practical skills. They can even become homcmakcrs and wage earners." Harmes said he had found the students in the retarded class to be a very receptive and appreciative group, ex pressing the opinion that the girls could become self suffi cient and socially competent through a home economics program geared to their indi vidual needs. "Reward should be favored over punishment," he said. "Reward strengthens the re warded behavior. Punishment may not lead to unlearning but it may inhibit the be havior." There are 15 students In the class at Crater, 10 boys and five girls. The boys are engaged in a study of job tolerance, job training and job safely. Harmes is a qualified teach er in the field of retarded children. While attending graduate school in Philadel phia, he taught part time the potential delinquents in the slum areas of that city.
