NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent The members of the Taole Rock ladies club are re hearsing a play "The Hiddci Letter," to be presented Saturday, May 25, at 8 p.m. at the Table Rock school house. The play was written by Mrs. O. T. Wilson, who is well known around the Central Point area for her clever composing. The play dates back to the turn of the century, and describes the living conditions and dress of a pioneer western family. This is the first time any thing of this nature has been attempted for some time, and the ladies have gone to quite a bit of work in prepa ration, so we should show our appreciation by giving our support and attending the program. Last Sunday we attended the Sams Valley Grange picnic at the Valley of the Rogue park. This, we believe, is one of our most attractive parks and with some needed work on facilities and lawns will be one of the popul lar parks of the valley. The setting of beautiful shade trees is framed on three sides by a chain of blue moun tains. At the picnic we met the Master of the Oregon State Grange, and other dignitaries, also several Grang ers who in the past were residents of Jackson county which made it seem like old times to us. Among these were Mr. and Mr. Ted Sims, who were active here in Grange work, but are now living in the Willamette val ley, where they work with the Granges, Ted being a state deputy. The other day a lady called by phone, telling us that her children had found a killdeer with a broken wing. She wanted to know where she could get some one to patch up the injured wing. We referred her to the bird watcher of the Mail Tribune. The master of the national Grange a few years ago said the farmers were paid less for what they did than any segment of the national economy. During rush sea sons, like at present, many farmers work 16 hours or more each day. Compared to this, we recently listened to an employment agent naming jobs that could be had in the Eugene area. The jobs started at $3.40 an hour. He named- many jobs between that and the last one, at $6.50. This, we dedicate to the daylight time savers. Before Daylight Saving Tima They didn't teach kinematics When I was a kid in school; We never heard of a "moonsuit" Nor learned any couni-down rule. Since only celestial bodies Were our neighbors in outer space, We studied no sputtering Sputniks Nor Circumlunar race. We lived on our earthly bisophere And wrested our food from the sod; Our days were measured by daylight But we left the time to God. If we needed inertial guidance We were not aware of the fact; The earth was our biosatellite With escape velocity packed. We didn't have any dyna-soar To crash through the stratosphere; Nor testing flights in the dead of night To disturb out rest while here Ours was a celestial guidance Minus cosmic rays and LOX; But we could get up in the morning Without tampering with our clocks. From "Modern Maturity" Thought for the day A woman Is a person who reaches for a chair when she answers the telephone.

All persons interested in the future development ot Jack sonville are urged to attend. Members of the boosters club have expressed a desire to get more people out to the next meeting than attended the first, so that the organiz ation may represent a wider cross-section of the commun ity.

The reports the club comes up with will then be discussed, correlated and disseminated to the public. Rudy Tctrcault suggested that data be made available to all citizens, the planning com mission and the city council. The Rev. Oliver Summers spoke of three agencies that could be called upon to aid m gathering data. Collins listed these agencies as the Bureau of Municipal Research, the League of Oregon Cities and the University of Washington town development program. Collins also urged residents lo read the book "Democracy Is You," which is available through the Jacksonville li brary. Mayor E. O. Graham of Jacksonville commented that there was no limit to the amount of work that could be done. Many reports have been filed by city groups already, he noted, adding that he thought the club would be a good organization. Graham went on lo predict that there would be some hardships, however. Financ ing is difficult to obtain, he said, and volunteer help has a habit of petering out. The mayor said he thought the club could work together with the city planning commission. Mayor Graham made men- tion of the fact that informa tion could be obtained from the Jacksonville city recorder. Don Wendt, city council man, said he felt present prob lems should be taken care of first. He brought up the ques tion of how to carry the re search project through, how far to go at the present time, what would be the end result and how long would it take to reach it. One member present sug gested that the club start with just one area. Another sug gested that a committee be ap pointed for each category to LINDA SMITH Linda Smith In Running For Queen Montague - Linda Smith, captain of the Yreka Rough Riders, is another of the eight young girls who has entered the competition for the title of junior rodeo queen here.
