MEJFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Tablets ly A. E. NEALON Mail Tribuna Tabl Rock Corraipondaut Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ellis announce that they will be coming out of their hideaway home on Antioch road to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. The date is June 9. The place: Friends Church In Medford. Open house is 2 to 5 p.m. Friends are invited to call. No gifts. Fifty years - it doesn't seem that long. We met the Ellises when we were taking the census for Uncle Sam. They had recently come from Southern California. One of the questions we asked was "How much in money do you value your home garden?" She surprised me' when she replied: $1,000. Most others had given their garden value from $20 to $50. Mrs. Ellis based the value on what it cost them in L.A. for the same amount of produce. Some think that the silly looking picture of a legis lator with a pipe in his mouth In Tuesday's M.T. was a fitting climax to the long drawn out session, the longest with the least accomplished of any in the history of the State of Oregon. Some say that if we hadn't given the legislators the right to set their own salaries they would not have spent so much time trying to regulate the house cats, or done so much pulling ahead by jerks, then back ing up, and starting out again. When a person sets his own salary he is more apt to like his job and want it to continue. Mingling With the Graduates Last Sunday we attended the graduation ceremonies of Southern Oregon College at Ashland, where some 300 degrees were given to graduates. We heard Dr. Leonard Rice, the principal speaker, say that this was like the Garden of Eden. He referred to the setting, hemmed in by beautiful hills covered with trees and flowrs. The setting which nature has furnished was perfect. The scores of Adams and Eves here received their credentials to go out into the world with high hopes and feeling that despair Is not necessary and not to be thought of. The ceremony was highly impressive with the flags and color guard with helmet and rifle showing a little tinge of the military. Local students graduating from Crater High are: John Slocum, Bob Ryan, Alan Bray, and Howard Solinger. Those completing the eighth grade were: John Fleischer, James Conlon, Lorieta Pierce, and the Lathrop twins, Greg and Craig. ... The present wet weather has kept local farmers on the jump, trying to out guess the weather and get their hay in the barn between showers. Chris Richardson, of Medford, is at present, visiting with his brother, at the J. S. Richardson home. At a business meeting held Thursday by the Antioch Cemetery association Merle Martin, Bell Loftin and Harold Holloway were elected board members. Merle Martin will be chairman and Belle Loftin will have charge of the clean-up activities. The board requests that flowers for graves be put in card-board cartons, or other material that can be burned. Glass and metal containers are harmful to lawn mowers. The following has appeared In this column before, but Cleve Twltchell, our boss, hasn't seen it, so it will be news to him: The present showery weather reminds us of when we were a youngster. During the rainy season our uncle, who grew us in the Gone with the Wind section of Georgia, used to say the following little ditty about the rain: "More rain, more corn; more corn, more whiskey; more whiskey, more Democrats." Being too young to realize that Uncle, who had a high sense of humor, was only joking about whiskey and Democrats, and the fact that father, a Connecticut Yankee, had gone to the south after the Civil War to work with the U.S. Revenue service, where he collected taxes on liquor and caught moonshiners, caused us to grow up with the idea that the Democrats consumed most of the whiseky. But with the passing of time, we have realized that Uncle was only joking about the corn and whiskey, and from what we have seen during Prohibition and after repeal we have found you can't tell a person's party affiliations by nls drinking habits. Thought for the Day A laborer is worthy of his hire, but the one who pays him is worthy of some consideration too.
