Central Ave. Ph. 773-5371 A letter from Mrs. Frances Pearson, of Prospect, states that she too, is interested in the fate of the old Agate school bell mentioned in last week's Tablets. Ini the years 1909 and 1910, Mrs. Pearson taught in the Agate school. A new schoolhouse had recently been built. In those days pro viding of furnishings was left to community fund raising benefits, so the teachers gave a school entertainment and box social, the proceeds to be used for the purchase of a bell. The entertainment and box social proved quite a success netting $107. Lee Watkins, one of the directors, and Mrs. Pearson proceeded by horse and buggy into Medford to shop for a bell. After shopping around the order was given to D. T. Lawton, who gave them such a good deal that they had enough money left to buy a glass enclosed book case. It was a red letter day when the sonorous peals of that bell resounded through out the Agate area. As prin cipal of the school, Mrs. Pear son was accorded the proud honor of being the first to ring the bell. Quoting from her let ter she says: should you suc ceed in locating that bell please let us know. If it is re covered, it seems fitting to me that it be mounted on a ce ment base in White City bear ing an inscription honoring those progressive citizens of good old Agate. Owing to limited space we have not given the complete contents of this interesting let ter which reveals some past history of the Agate area. Names have changed since this took place. Frances Pear son, the principal, was then Miss Frances Aiken, and tVie Talent District Buys New Trucks Employs 2 Men Talent - The recently form ed Talent Rural Fire Protec tion district will have two new fire trucks and two full time men within a iew months, if voters approve the district b o a r d's proposed budget. Board Chairman Eddie Heim announced that two new 1,000 -gallon pumper trucks are being ordered by the district, at a cost of around" $18,000 - each. The trucks are expected to be de livered on or about July 1. Also as of July 1, Ralph Conner, chief of the old Tal ent city and rural fire depart ments, will be employed as full-time fire chief, the dis trict board has decided, Heim said, Bob Burnett will be employed as night fireman as of the same date. Purchase of the new trucks and hiring of the full-time men are both contingent on voter approval of the district budget, however, Heim add ed. A proposed budget has been drawn up and will be submitted to the voters at a date to be announced later. Burning permits will be required in the district after April 1, Heim added. They may be picked up from Conner. other teacher was Miss Al berta Stacey, now living in Sacramento, Calif. We note that according to law, it is illegal to allow two roosters to engage in a fight, using beak and spurs, batter each other to a knock down and drag out finish for the amusement of onlookers. On the other hand two men in a ring can beat each other to death while a blood-thirsty audience pays a high price for an admission ticket. It makes us wonder when roosters be came more important than human beings. The recent death of Davey Moore shows, in our opinion, that it is high time a stop was put to these encounters and the gambling and swindling that goes with them. Calling them boxing matches is a misnomer. As they are run now, they are nothing more or less than a fight, to knock the other out, if you have to kill him to do it. If two men were beating each other with ball bats, with one killing the other, it would be called murder. In our way of looking at it, it is murder regardless of the weapons used. Duels with pistols were outlawed long ago, although that would be a far more painless way to be killed. In this case the man who killed Moore should be charged with manslaughter, and the pro moters and those who help out such affairs by attending them should at least have to take care of the widow and her children.

COVERS Horses Once Belonging To Sen. Kerr, Desi Arnaz Now At Talent Area Ranch Talent-A thoroughbred race horse who once belonged to the late Senator Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma and a' stal lion purchased from Desi Ar naz are among the noteworthy horses owned by Mr. and Mrs. Antonio Beebe here. Beebe, a retired southern California music agent, and Parent-Teacher Meetings Slated . Central Point- Jewett El ementary school has sched uled its next round of parent- teacher conferences for the week of April 1 trough 12 In lieu of report cards the conference system is used at the end of the first and third report periods during the school year. Regular report cards are used at the second and fourth report periods. Parent conferences were used for the first time at Jew ett school last fall. Gratify- ing results were obtained at that time when more than 98 per cent of the parents of pupils were able to participate in a conference with their children's teachers, according to William Brewster, principal of that school. Conferences are scheduled after school each day, each lasts about 25 minutes. This allows for a time of commu nication between parent and teacher, when many aspects of the child's achievement can be discussed and a more complete report of school progress made, Brewster con tinued. "Teachers feel that the par ent - teacher conference sys tem of reporting helps in crease the quality of educa tion offered by the school," Brewster said. his wife moved up here seven years ago and now operate Owl s Roost ranch on Rapp lane. The race horse, named 'Cowboy Book," has won more than $80,000 In his seven years of life. All of the races were in California, at such tracks as Santa Anita, Holly wood and Tanforan. Jockeys Johnnie Longdon, Willie Shoe maker and others have ridden him. Cowboy Book's mother, Vic tory Call, was of the Man O War strain. 1 The stallion purchased from 1 Desi Arnaz is named "Mr. Covers." He has colts on the track in Arizona this year, Mrs. Beebe reports. The Beebes find the Rogue River valley a good place to raise and keep horses. "Horses do real well here," they ex plain.. "It doesn't get too cold or too hot for them." B S Candidates for Happy Camp School Board Are Introduced trustee candidates Joan Rich ardson, Mrs. LaVonne Walt ers, George Coombes, and Tom Crocker. The other candidate, WU lard Titus, was not present at the meeting, nor was George Chambers, although both were named by Sugden as be ing candidates in the coming school election to be held in mid-April. A policy was adopted for classified employees sick leave: All full time employees be given ten days sick leave a year, accumulative to SO days. All part time classified employees be given one day each month of full time em ployment accumulative to 25 days.
