A friend of ours spotted him the other day and made up his mind to go back and see what the dog was doing there. Of course, by the time he decided to go back to the interchange he was already half way along t' .ard the next exit. Never theless, he went to all the trouble to get back to Black Well rd. but when he stopped and called to the dog, he wouldn't come to the car. So our friend went to a nearby store and picked up some dog food. Still no success in coax ing the dog over to the cur. Finally he left the food on the ground and drove off. And as soon as the car was a comfortable distance away, the dog raced over to the food. Gun Safety Class To Start in Talent Talent A gun safely class Will start Thursday at the Talent City hall.

Iribute will be paid Mrs Routh during National Li brary Week in the form of a silver tea on Thursday, April 25, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the library. Silver tea funds will be used to purchase Mrs. Routh a gift of appreciation for the 20 years of excellent service she has given the public here as librarian. It is the opinion of her many friends that the retiring librarian's own love for good books has been an asset to the community which she has served so well. Mrs. Routh will retire April 30 after having served as li brarian since May 1, 1043. Prior to that date she had acted for some time as sub stitute librarian. Mrs. Ferd Jones, Gold Hill, who is a Jackson county li brary trustee, has charge of arrangements. Mrs. Ogden Kellogg, also of Gold Hill and one of the faithful bor rowers at the library, is as sisting Mrs. Jones with plans for the affair. Local organiza tions have been extended an invitation to help with decora tions, refreshments and serving. Arrived In 1930 Mrs. Routh recalled having heard of the library when she and her husband, the late Canl Routh, and their son Bob arrived in Gold Hill to reside. They came here from Compton, Calif., in March, 1030, when Bob was 18 months old. Since then she and her fam ily have been avid readers of books from the Gold Hill li brary. A daughter, Lcta, was born In 1034 and died In 1950. During the early years of her children's lives, Mrs. Routh said she borrowed books and read to them until they were old enough to do their own reading. The library from which she is retiring has been an extremely important part of her life, both as librarian and mother. The habit of good reading is important, she feels.

JEWEL ROUTH Gold Hill Librarian For 20 Years when she became librarian are among those she has serv ed, first as toddlers, then as students throughout their grammar and high school years, and now as parents who are bringing their own chil dren to the library for read ing material. Mrs. Routh said that watch ing a reader's interest in books grow as he develops from pro-school age, to teen-age. adulthood and parenthood with his own little youngsters has been especially important to her. These are memories that she will always treasure, having been a part of persons' lives with books. The library location was changed recently after many years to the present location In the former council room at the old city hall building on Sixth ave. When Mrs. Routh became librarian in 1943 and up un til March of 1981 the library was located in a former school room at the rear of the build ing, which is among the old est structures in Gold Hill. Heat was provided by an old fashioned wood heater during the fall and winter months. Ceilings in the build ing are high, so the wood stove ate fuel but did not com fortably warm the room. Chill Unheeded The chill in the room, how ever, did not discourage the readers who continued througout those years to be faithful patrons of the li brary, pausing always for a few minutes chat with the more than cheerful librarian, who was so willing to offer her assistance when needed by young and old.

A great deal of hard work was involved to make the change. Donating their time to help the librarian and her son Bob clean and put the place in order as well as mov ing the books were Mrs. Ferd Jones and Mrs. Lena Laricks. Finally the move was ac complished. This offered many improvements to those visit ing the library. This made possible more storage space for books, Mrs. Routh said. It was more cheerful and lighter. She said a study ta ble with reference material localized was an important im provement. An oil heater do nated by Mrs. William Ga nong now keeps the room warm during the fall and win ter months. Reading Increases Reading has increased at the library during the 20 years that she has been li brarian. She believes the cir culation has at present in creased three times over what It was in 1943. The increased number of books now avail able for all ages, imp oved service relative to the county library, more hours available for borrowing and visiting the library have been all impor tant factors in regard to in creased circulation of books and magazines. She pointed out that the Gold Hill branch library serves a wide area, noting that people of all ages come from the areas of Sams Val ley, Foots Creek, Sardine Creek, Galls Creek and Kane Creek in addition to the school children and residents within the city of Gold Hill. The library will hereafter be closed on Saturdays after April 20. Library hours will be 2 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday of each week.

This is the question the Eagle Point Jaycees asked themselves after the Easter egg hunt last week end. Five out of six prize eggs were turned In for prizes but evidently the sight of a brightly colored aluminum foil wrapped chocolate egg was too much for one of the children In the 0 to 4 age group. The Easter egg hunt could be called a complete success with a turn out of 350 to 400 children collecting 3,000 eggs in less than five minutes. The field was staked off into the three age groups and the eggs were hidden by the Boy Scouts of troop 48. Eagle Point, with directing help from the Jaycees. For those children who did not find eggs, the day was not 1 a total los-s. Mamma Easter i Bunny and her two small j bunnies (Mrs. Rick Wolga mott and her two daughters) j handed out eggs to those chU- j dren not finding eggs or too bashful to leave the starting j line. As the children left the grounds, there were many smiles and filled baskets or I sacks as the yearly Easter j egg hunt came to a close. Prizes were donated by Eagle Point Hardware. Van's ! Shop, Olsen's confectionery, : Town and Country market, j Eagle market and Little Butte ' market. v gBJ-: I pV Bii' L PRIZE WINNERS Everyone is proud of tb P' tnem oy tnc t-agie roint ounmes tor finding the prize eggs except the smallest one of all who tearfully demonstrates he neither wants his priie or is interested in the bunnies.
