Funds Reported On Hand To Send Two To Beaver Boys State Central Point ' - An an nouncement was made at the recent meeting of the Central Point Lions club that funds are now available from recent fund raising projects conduct ed by the club to allow two boys from Crater High to at tend Beaver Boys State at Corvallis. Students chosen are select ed on their scholastic ability, as well as their leadership qualities. In lieu of the regular meet ing, initiation services were conducted for Herman Geg- ner by Chet Squires, Ashland, professor at Southern Oregon college, assisted by Dr. Max Flowers, chairman of the membership committee. Dot Simmons, the wide awake and inquisitive Mail Tribune correspondent of the Lone Pine area, was a business visitor here Wednesday A. M. The Simmons family are building a house in the Beagle area near the Elwood Abbott home, where they have purchased acreages, and expect to move in the near future. The noise of heavy machinery in operation we have been hearing the last few days is a large caterpillar, dozer, belonging to Ronnie Borello of the Table Top ranch, who is clearing up brush covered land for pas ture just north of the Ray Baker farm, and part of the Table Top holdings. We hear a good many arguments relative to the talk ed of conservation corp or three C's. We saw quite a bit of the three C's during their stay in this valley, being in the hospital for a month or two at that time. We remember one lad from back east who was brought in( with the fingers on one hand hanging by the tendons. The lad had been splitting kindling and hit the hand he was holding the chunk with, with a sharp axe. The young doctor assigned to the corp was Dr. Buoncore, who had the boy with the chopped hand in surgery for some two or three hours. Next morning the lad came into the ward we were in with the hand in a cast, with the fingers spliced back together, where they con tinued to heal, and finally grew back to their normal shape. With our many contacts with the three C's, and since seeing the many and various jobs they did in the mountains, and along the streams, we know it was a great experience for the young people to be remember ed for many years. It taught them dependability, hon esty, sobriety, how to work with their hands and to get -along with other boys from other parts of the country. To those who object to the conservation corp, we wonder what they would suggest. Surely something should be dsne to check this wave of delinquency which is get ting worse every day. What Happened to the Bell? Mrs. Ivan Skyrman who attended high school at Agate when a teen ager, would like to know what has become of the big bell' that hung in the belfry of the old Agate school house. The ringing of the old bell could be heard for miles around and some of the pupils who heard its chimes while stepping along to get to school on time, have a tender feeling for the old bell. Mrs. Skyrman lives in Central Point, and if anyone knows of the bell's whereabouts she would like to hear from them. The old man with the scythe struck heavily in our community lately culling down three friends and neigh bors in just a few days. ' Ernest C. Hamilton, grandfather of Ernest Hamil ton, manager of the Modoc Orchards, died Tuesday, March 17. Curtis U. Thomas, father of Mrs. Edwin Taylor, died Friday March IS, Harold J. Fleischer, father of Alan Fleischer, died Monday, March 18, unexpectedly at his home in Central Point. Pourad Oil on the Troubled Waters Mr. Hamilton and family became residents of our community in 192S. At that time farmers were having irrigation water troubles. It seemed that water users and the ditch man couldn't get together on. rules, so that farmers on the lower end of the ditch some days would be dry and other days would be flooded. Added to this, the man who lived at the head of the ditch which passed through his place would lock the gates so work ers couldn't get to the head gates. Mr. Hamilton had been foreman of the Rogue River Valley canal, so was hired to supervise the local ditch, and from that time on their troubles were over. With his firm, but kindly ways, you might say he poured oil on the troubled waters. Besides keeping the water gates adjusted, he engaged in many activities such as farming and keep-' , ing a herd of sheep. Taking a keen interest in neighborhood affairs, he proved to be one of our most energetic and valuable citizens. , , To all the bereaved left by these several deaths, we extend out heartfelt sympathies.
