Mail Tribune Tabla Rock Correspondent
Some 85 members of valley Sunday achoolj attended
a Sunday school rally Sunday afternoon April 28 at the
Table Rock schoolhouso. The attendance contest wai won
by Forest Acres with 32 members present. 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. Robinson has returned from a lengthy
visit with her son, Douglas and family at Napa, Calif.

A photo in the April issue of the Oregon grange
bulletin, shows State grange master Allen P. 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.

special meaning for Central
Point students, both past and
present this year. '
This date has been desig
nated Harry L. Meyers Day
in honor of Central Point's
from his 25 year teaching ca
reer in June.
Harry L. M-.-yers began his
musical education at the
Hague Conservatory of Music
in Holland, the country of
his birth. As a young man he
moved to Canada, then to the
United States. In this country
he became a professional mu
sician in the Midwest, he took
additional musical training
from the McPhail and De
Mater schools of music in
Minneapolis.
Following the completion
of his educational require
ments at Southern Oregon
college in 1938, he began his
teaching career. At that time
many small schools couid not
afford a full-time music in
structor so Meyers divided his
time between Central Point,
Phoenix and Talent schools
where he directed choruses,
bands and orchestras.
Full-Time
He became a full-time in
structor In Central Point in
1942. Since the organization
of Crater High school he has
spent all his time with the
Central , Point Junior High
band, a sixth grade band, and
a beginning band.
For twelve years his jun.
music man," ! who retires 1 lor high bands appeared in the
southern uregon music con
test, receiving a "1" rating.
Meyers not only teaches
music, but also composes it
In the 1959 Oregon centen
nial song competition, his
"Oregon Waltz" received
third prize.
In his spare time this lover
of music plays trumpet with
the Hillah Temple Shriner's
band and bass violin in the
Southern Oregon Philharmon
ic orcnestra.
During his 25 years of
teaching he maintained a uer-
iect attendance record until
this spring when he missed
several days of school be
cause of flu.
Many of the students now
playing under Meyers are chil-
dren of former students, all
are invited to join in honor
ing Central Point's music
man at the reception follow
ing the May 10 concert.
