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.
Thought for the day People like to see things In
black and white. That's why they read the newspapers.
