The Stampede will be fol lowed by a rodeo dance at the auditorium. On Sunday morn ing, the Montague Lanccrcttcs I 1 1 a will serve "Buckaroo" break. fast, which will be followed at 11 a.m. with five-steer aver age team roping contests, and barrel racing average, to con tinue throughout the afternoon.

A proposed tax levy of $2,510 will be submitted to the voters. This year's levy includes only operating ex penses, since construction of newer system itself is not anticipated until next year. The Rcsmorc motel is lo cated about half a mile south of Talent on Highway 00 The fact a community split by controversy can unite be hind a common cause in time of need was demonstrated to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Capello of Butte Falls last week. The family home burned Wednes day night while no one was home, and most of the house and the family's belongings were lost. But as news of the loss spread, persons from both sides involved in the contro versy came to their aid, Mrs. Capello told us, visibly im pressed by what had happen ed. Some townspeople took their son John, who had cut his hands in the mishap, to a hospital. Others measured the family for clothes and pro ceeded to make new garments. Various organizations and in dividuals in the community donated materials, food and money. News Item: Charles Roberts, Talent police chief, advises that there is now an ordinance in effi in that city which re. quires that rabbits must be kept at least 100 feet away from a dwelling. The community of Prospect extends its sympathy to the family of Eldon (Stub) Bean, who passed away last week. Bean was the local square dance caller, among many other things. Pnllaj and Peggy Purcell of the Traunesian sanctuary in vite their friends and anyone else interested to join them for tluir annual Fourth of July picnic Thursday. It's a potluck type of meal, with lunch starting at about noon, but visitors are encouraged to come early and stay late. A while back the Jackson ville City Council talked over a proposed ordinance against riding bicycles on sidewalks in the city. The councilmcn didn't pass it. But now some research has estab lished that such an ordinance was on the books all along. It was enacted In 1951. Frank Carter, police chief in Jack sonville, will start enforcing the "new" law this week. ' ' ' . 1 ! SCENIC AREA The road between Prospect and Butte Falls affords many scenic views, among them the old Mcdford corporation pond, now leased to the state for a fish hatchery.

Bv HAZEL DAVIS Mail Tribune Corrospondoni Happy Camp - Josephine Plywood corporation of Hap py Camp has been shut down since May 8 in order to in stall new machinery and to rlMn the loe Dond, accord- ins in Victor Dusenberry, mill manager. Plans are for the mill to start up snoruy, nrnbablv about July 8. A new block-lif has been installed to bring blocks up from the pond to a new diock barker which is some of the latest equipment available and operates automatically. The new lathe charger, also installed, picks up blocks au tomatically with instant pick up putting the block into the lathe and back into position for the next block. All this equipment works at a very fast speed, Dusenberry said. The new machinery should increase production, at the same time reduce the cost of manufacturing to keep up with other building materials on the market, Dusenberry said. It also is a safety meas ure to keep two men from working in a dangerous spot. The automatic equipment will not mean that these two men will be laid off, however, They will be given work else where in the mill, ne said. The average out at the mill per shift is estimated at 50 thousand board feet of log.s, and with the new machinery it is hoped that production will increase to 65 or 70 thou sand board feet per shift. During the shut-down, the 9'2-acre pond was drained for the first time in nine years to recover "sinkers" and to deepen the area where logs are dumped. The logs are banded together on the trucks and are dumped still banded together into the pond so as to make it possible to store more logs at one time. According to Dusenberry, there are more logs under the water than there are visi ble on top of the water. The average depth of the pond is 10 feet in most places and much deeper where the logs are dumped. The mill now hires 29 men in a single shift. A second shift may be put on after the equipment is running smooth ly and when more timber is bought, Dusenberry said. Two Timber Sales At present the mill has two timber sales, one at Camp Four in the Ukonom Ranger district near Somes Bar, and a second sale near Ferry Point in the Happy Camp district. Logging for the mill is the V & K Logging company, which has been with the mill since its beginning here. The logging company is owned by George Vinson and W. ff. "Tiny" Simmons, both of Hap py Camp. The mill first started up here in August 1954 under the name of Willamette Ply wood with headquarters in Aumsville, Oregon. The mill was sold to Josephine Ply wood which has its main proc essing plant and headquarters at Grants Pass, Oregon. The green veneer is trucked daily from here to Grants Pass where it is processed into plywood. 3 DAYS LEFT! J.R.'s ANNUAL PRE-4TH Clearance SALE! No Caih Needed.
