Present to answer questions
were Chief Gordon Barker
of the Mcdford Fire depart
ment, Chief L. C. Liscnbee of
the Central Point Rural Fire
Protection district and Wil
liam Roblc of the state fire
marshal's office.
Many present expressed the
feeling that in the past the
community of Prospect has
succeeded In accomplishing
projects its resident have set
out to do, and that formation
of a fire district should be
no exception.
Anyone wishing further In
formation about forming a
rural fire protection district

Tablets
By R. E. NEALON
Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent
According to reports, local pear orchards suffered
very little, if any, damage from the frost. However, ex
tensive firing of heaters was done on several nights. For
some reason the black greasy soot that generally settles
on lawns, houses, drapes and furniture inside of dwel
lings was much lighter than usual. We suppose it could
have been weather conditions, or the new heaters
some are using.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Robinson were recent visitors with
their son, Doug and family of Napa, Calif.
Straus Bros., Sams Valley farmers, are preparing
land on the Ed Taylor farm for the seeding of grain
and corn.
Agete School Ball Found
We are glad to report that the old Agate school bell
has been located. Wc received a telephone call Friday
from Mr. Fred O. Lindcrcn of Brookings. Oregon. He said
he had read in the Tablets where the old Agate school
bell was missing. The bell, he says, is mounted on a
cement block in Mrs. Grace Orr's yard on Orr drive,
a mile more or less from where it used hang in the
old Agate school house. Mrs. Orr, formerly Grace Gib
bons, was a student in the Agate school. Mr. Linderen
is well acquainted in the valley having lived in Mcd
ford back in the good government days. We thank him
kindly for his keen interest and long distance tele
phone call.
We note that our legislators have passed a bill pul
ling a sales tax on cigarettes which probably will be
referred to the voters for the final verdict. It will take
a lot of smoking to get enough money to anywhere
near pay the damages caused by cigarettes to forests,
grain fields, public buildings, homes, furniture, cars
and hundreds of others besides the harm to the smokers
and the cost of maintaining fire districts.
Wc used to write grange insurance, and during
World War II we adjusted fire losses and were satisfied
in our own mind that where the cause of the fire was
unknown many were cigarette fires.
A letter from Paul Luy, of Palm Springs, Calif,
tells that he found our story about Bill Bybee most
interesting, bringing back memories of bygone days, but
he had never heard our story about Bill Bybee. Glad you
liked it Paul, and perhaps sometimes we can get to
gether and talk over old times. Paul's mother was a
member of the Bybee family. ,
Harry Truman's Humor
Some lime ago wc were talking with a neighbor
about Harry Truman's sense of humor, when he said
he was going to be around here for some time yel, re
gardless of what some people he knew desired. The
neighbor replied that Truman's sense of humor might
backfire on him one of these days, which was what
mine did on one occasion, causing me quite a little em
barrassment. The rest of the story will have to come
later as this is getting too long and part of last week's
Tablets was commercialized out.
If the weather continues as it is for a few days, the
planting of onions and potatoes will get under way.
Wc hear tell our legislators did themselves proud,
put a tax on cigarettes and took it off whiskey license,
which means less smoke, more whiskey.
According to Mrs. George Loftin, her husband, our
Texas democratic friend, is getting along fine. He goes
out on the hillside with the tractor hunting rattlesnakes,
which he says he detests, and is trying to clean out a
den north of his place.
Thought for the day: Only a fool tries lo reason
with a fool.

Mrs. John Hall, secretary of
the Community Building Gov
erning board, explained the
duties of the two administra
tive boards for the running of
the building. Councilman Don
Kimmel recommended that
the city stay out of the admin
istrative running of the build-
j ing, including the financial up-
keep, and let it be the com
munity's building.
In other action passed by
the council Tuesday evening
it was voted to have lights in
