Mail Tribune Table Table Rock Ladies Club will meet Wednesday, March 13, at the home ol Mrs. Jim Gann, 1119 Dakota ave., Mcdford. At the annual meeting of the members of the Table Rock District Improvement company held March 2, most of the present officials were reelected. They include Edwin Taylor, president; Larry Hull, vice-president, and E. W. Robinson, secretary-treasurer. The annual assessment of $6 per acre for water users was not changed. This is commonly known as the Table Rock Ditch co. and at one time was called the Drum, Bybee, Pickens, Hunsaker Ditch co. The system was practically all dug with pick and shovel, back In the nineties. Ed Drum owned a lot of pumice land Including what is now the Ray Baker, John Nealon, and Hamilton farms, and it was his Idea to get water on land that at one time had been traded for a horse and a gun, and apparently was too dry to grow crops. Batteries of smudge pots are being set up In local pear orchards for the expected, but not wanted, battle with Jack Frost. The Family Gels Together . We had a birthday party last Saturday attended by several of the Nealon family and other relatives, follow ed by a pot-luck dinner which was highly enjoyed by all. As the oldest one left of the Nealon family all of which learned their A. B.C. 's and the multiplication tables in the little one-room school house, we feel proud to know that none have been a burden on society but have been good citizens holding their many assigned positions with dignity and honor. As with all big families, there have been casualties, heartaches and grief, but their sense of humor still remains. Maybe it is because we are Irish. Personally, like many others, we have reached the age where we can remember things that happened 50 years ago better than two weeks ago. Contrary to some beliefs, we remember those who have been helpful and good to us bettor than those who have been mean. The first one to do a kind deed, which I have remember ed ever since it happened, was Erastus Wilson. I was a five-year-old kid with buck teeth and a hawk billed nose, it was my first day of school, so of course the boys started "picking" on me. When Erastus saw this, he came to my rescue and told them to let that little boy alone, or else. Many other things we remember back 30, 40 and 50 years ago. Sometimes people will argue about my state- ' ments, and the sad part of it is that owing to high blood pressure, I am restricted as to arguments. Of course 1 can argue with my belter half, as I always win with her. Anyway I get through first. Thai's the way you win, its'nl it? Local folks here who use electricity for cooking and heating, were delighted lo hear that rates will soon be reduced by the Pacitlc Power and Light company. . We are hearing complaints from cattlemen . about a drop In cattle prices. We wonder if those who have turned In for their livestock for assessment purposes at prices of Jan, 1 .will get any adjusment, if prices continue to sag between now and tax paying time next ' fall. Signs of Spring ; . Early flowers are bursting into bloom, frogs are ' croaking, meadow larks, the Oregon State bird, are sing ing, and as this Is written the sun is brightly shining. This is a wonderful country where no one knows what It is going to do tomorrow, except the weather man, and he isn't too sure. Birthdays are wonderful even if they are getting so old as to be out of date. On our last one we got enough socks, shirts, gloves and other wearing equipment lo last to our next birthday. We have a few more Tablets fans: a veterinarian, a chief of police, and an undertaker. Some say that when an undertaker or Digger Odcll gels loo chummy with you, it might be like a buzzard circling over a sick sheep. We are sorry lo report Unit E. C. Hamilton is In the Rogue Valley hospital suffering with a broken hip. Thought for the day Self-praise is half scandal.

Kerr had been absent from the previous meeting. The Arguments Division of opinion came on the question of discrimina tion, proximity to the college and free competition. The mayor's comments that "it is no more right to deny a gro cery store the right to sell beer than to sell bacon" and the opinion that "we are not here to decide the laws," summed up the attitude of those in favor of the beer li cense application.
