This group also won the qui: contest. , - - - , Bob Pacth and John Collier ol Medford, soil scientists Working for the soil conservation service, were visitors here Tuesday. They are engaged in testing soils of lands owned by individuals which comprise more than a mil lion acres in .lackson county. The tests will take five . . years to complete. They surprised us when they said they read "Tablets," and again when they asked if we had been here when the Indians were. We informed them that we were .only nine months old when we came here and didn't look for any Indians. . , According to the Valley Times, published at Beaver ' ton, Ore., the Beaverton grange is tearing down its old hall, which has been In constant use since 1889 and has become known as a landmark. A new modern hall will be built on the same site costing some $65,000. The grangers are great builders. Soon sftcr a grange is organ ized, plans get under for building a meeting place. In Jackson county, according to Roscoe Roberts, county grange deputy and overseer of the :tate grange, there are some 14 grange halls, which cost from $12,000 to $15,000 each to construct, Most of these halls have full size basements used for banquets and serving refresh ments, and in some instances for the meeting place of the juvenile grange. At the last Saturday's meeting of the Sams Valley grange, eight new members were taken into the order. Among those taken in were iour of our Table Rock neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Smith, and Mr. and Mrs. John Thomas. The Table Rock ladies club will meet Wednesday, May 8, at the home of Mrs. O. T. Wilson, 431 North. Second St., Central Point, with Mrs. Florence Brenne sholtz assisting. ' Mrs. E. E.

Wheeler congratulating Allen Bray, local boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bray, for winning first place in the F.F.A. public speaking contest held recently in the The Dalles. The first morning the clocks were set up we went -out to milk by the new time. Fuzzytall, our young cat who likes a few sips of warm milk for breakfast, was still in bed. She crawled out, yawned, and seemed to say, "Who started this foolishlness?" We tried to tell her It wasn't us. The cows come up about 8 o'clock in the evening which they did this day, but the clock said it was seven, and so it goes. They call it time saving, which isn't the case. The days are no longer; they just seem longer. There are just 24 hours in a day and you can't make any more by shifting the clocks. Someone remarked, "Since the others want the new time, we will try to go along with it." But to us it is just being plain stupid. c Mrs. George Bannister of Griffin Creek, and Mrs. Bertha Houston of Altadena, Calif, were Tuesday vis itors with relrtives at the R. E. Nealon home. .; . j . ,' Thought for the day: When speech is silver, silence might be golden. : ' Central Point's 'Music Man' Harry Meyers To Be Honored By MARY COLLEY Mail Tribune Correspondent Central Point-The Central Point Junior High concert scheduled for May 10 at the Crater High gym will have V i it'' s-; HARRY MEYERS The Music Man special meaning for Central Point students, both past and present this year.
