Held At Butte Falls
A hungry but aloof little
cocker spaniel appears to have
set up shop at the Blackwell
rd. interchange of the Inter
state 5 freeway. 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.

Gold Hill - Rresidents of
Gold Hill and vicinity arc
invited to attend an open
house honoring Mrs. Jewel
Routh, retiring librarian of
the Gold Hill branch library.
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.

MRS. 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.
In March, 1981, after the
city council meetings were no

longer held at the old city
hall, permission was granted
and a favorable move took
place to relocate the library
at its present location in the
front of the building.
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. Evening
openings will be from 7 to 9
o'clock on Tuesdays and Fridays.

3,000 Eggs Collected In
5 Minutes At Eagle Point
Eagle Point - What hap
pened to the missing prize
egg? 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.
