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.

Vacations go smoother in a Chevrolet Corvair
Bring on those mountains! They're not so high and mighty
when you've got Corvair's gutty six and rear-engine traction
working on them.
You. scurry right up the meanest grades. You move with
sure-footed agility on wet pavement, muddy lanes, loose
gravel and other would-be miseries.
And with most of Corvair's weight on the rear wheels,
you have easy steering, too. Fact is, the car's handling is
so light and responsive we don't even oder power steering.
And there's more to feel good about. No problems with
your radiator boiling over or going dry, because there's no

radiator. Corvair's engine is air cooled. No concern about
brake adjustments, either, because the brakes adjust them
selves. Nothing much to think about at al! except the good
time you're having (and maybe the next mountain you're
going to flatten).
Like to do that in a sporty bucket-seated Monza Club
Coupe or Convertible? Like to spring into summer with a
4-speed stick shift and Spyder package with its 150-hp
