MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY, JUNE' 1J. 1963 D 5 Oregon Supreme Court Decisions Salem - HOT - The Oregon Supreme Court Wednesday ruled that a child not legally adopted after being aban doned remains a legal heir of his natural mother. The ruling came when the high court reversed a de cision from the Washington County Circuit Court of Judge J. S. Bohannon, and remanded the case back to the lower court for further proceedings. The lower court had ruled that Harold J. Hughes had been legally adopted, but Hughes appealed the order on grounds h i s natural mother had never signed the adoption paper. The Supreme Court ruled that although the child had been abandoned by his nat ural mother, Mona Lawanda Nelson, he was still her legal heir. Tax Judge Upheld The Supreme Court upheld a decision by Oregon Tax Court Judge Peter M. Gun nar which held that a gift in trust for charities was non deductible. Also affirmed by the high court was an action by the Multnomah County Circuit Court of Judge Alan M. Da- vies in setting aside the jury's Foley which granted quite verdict and granting a new title to a rancn to Vivien trial in the case of an injured Parrish. longshoreman. Ruling Conitndtd Lloyd Strandholm was in- Charles E. Parrish claimed jured as the result of the he acquired title to the prop- collapse and fall of a large ; erty by adverse possession marine boom where he was working, and he was award ed damages by the jury. The trial court set aside the jury's verdict and set a new trial because improper evidence had been intro duced during the first pro ceedings. The high court affirmed a Crook County Circuit Court ruling of Judge Robert H. and contended the trial court ruling. The high court found that Parrish had a life estate to the ranch, but had failed to establish adverse posses sion. Also affirmed by the high court was a decision by Douglas County Circuit Judge Charles S. Woodrich in a case involving a colli sion between a garbage truck SAFETY NOTES Chicago -4l?t- For safety's sake, motorists should remem ber the three basic rules for parking on hills, says the Chi cago Motor club.

When the plants get big enough and the weather gets warm enough, we are going to transplant them out side. Not long ago Griffin Creek purchased the orchard behind the school because they are going to make it into a foot ball field. Very soon a bull- doier went in and tore out the trees. Then a grader came along and leveled it out. We had a Kick-off Carnival to raise money for a turf. Everyone hopes we will have a beautiful field by next fall on which to play our games.

The fourth grade gills made cookies for the Fourth Grade tea. They were something like oatmeal cookies. They had cocoa, nuts, oatmeal, but. ter, sugar, and vanilla. We made them in our room on two, electric trypans. They were very fun to make. Even the mothera said they were good. The two fourth grades had the tea for their mothers. The girls in Mrs. Overstreet's room made cookies and the children in Maurice Nelson's room made Kool-Aid. Some of the boys from Mrs. Overstreet's room dressed up like girls and the girls danced. Mr. Nelson's room sang and danced. Mr. Nelson's fourth grade had a skating party. We had lots of fun, so we decided to go again with the other fourth grade class later. The students In the fifth and sixth grades participated in e fitness test. There were nine events; standing broad lump, sit ups, shuttle run, pull ups, Softball throw, 50 yard dash, and the 600 yard run First place winners Rodney Petersen and Becky Moore re celved a gold trophy. Second place winners, Kevin Cham bers and Christie St. Martin, received a silver trophy Joe Poston Is the third grade's "Nature Boy" for he keeps us supplied with speci mens. He has brought three different kinds of lizards, a turtle, and some polliwogs. . For science, Mrs. Wilms Peabody brought some plants to school. They were seed lings, or shrubs that had lay ered, or cuttings that had root ed. We got to take them home and plant them. We hope they will grow. June 4th, the two third grades made their annual visit to the Jacksonville museum. This trip is made as a part of our study about pioneer life In Oregon. The two third grade classes visited the Public Library of Medford and Jackson county. Mrs. Crocker gave us a talk on care of books anrt showed us how to mend k'-1 repair them. Mrs. Getschell read us a story called "The Remark able Harry." It was funny. Mrs. Peabody's class had a program of choral reading for mothers in May. We learned 17 poems.

There are three Semi nole Indian dolls whose Dodies and some clothing were made from coconut fibers. Three Korean dolls called "Papa San," "Mama San," and "Boy San" were among the nine. The length of "Papa San's" pipe shows his position in so ciety. ! other creatures use them for food. We are looking forward to summer fun. We will make it a fun time by obeying safety rules. Will you? 1. Don't swim without an adult. 2. Never eat wild berries; they may be poisonous. 3. Be careful of poison ivy and poison oak. 4. Don't play In dangerous places like streets used by cars. 8. Be careful when rid ing in a car. Sit downl Be quietl Don't put your hand out of the window. Don't do tricks. 6. When riding your bike, know and obey traffic rules. One Japanese doll is fairly large and another sits crying. These dolls are on display In the hall now, but next year a new cabinet will be made and they will be shown In the library. The baseball team had a real good season this year. There were 17 boys who earned their letter. Each boy j had to play two innings to earn his letter. We won six games and lost one. There was a play-off with Jacksonville. Griffin Creek won it 17 to 0. Steve Wlrlh and Rodney Pe terson combined to pitch a no-hitter in a game with Jacksonville, score 7 to 0. We had a real close game with Howard, 4 to 3. This spring the fourth grade room of Mrs. Mary Ovcrstreet won the Parent Teacher association room count.
