Boner Serves As Phoenix Mayor In Paxon's Absence By BERTHA HANSCOM Mail Tribune Correspondent Phoenix - Arthur Boner took over the duties of mayor of Phoenix during the latter part of June and first few days of July while Mayor Darrell Paxson and his family were on vacation. The family stopped at Phoe nix, Ariz., where Paxson met with the mayor of that city. At this week's city council session, councilmen voted to try out a grass mower and If satisfied purchase it. Fire Chief Dave Haggard reported there were no fires during June. The department had two fire drills. It also bought new turn-out clothes for the members and new mir rors for .the old fire truck. In other mattej-s the super intendent of streets reported that all unpaved streets, ex cept those which will be work ed on this summer, have been covered with granite. Hand railings will be put on each side of the city hall steps as a added measure of safety, he also reported. The council would like to remind residents of the dog law, which provides a dog must be tied, or if let run loose must be under the con trol of the owners at all times. Anyone wishing to make a complaint about dogs must - file a complaint with the chief of police.

Tablets By R. E. NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent Odd Fellows Plan to Remove Top of Gold Hill Structure The following from Arthur Perry's Smudge Pot col- . umn of July 2, 1943 about fits this July 4, 1963: "The current batch of weather, while possessing a few minor defects, comes as close to pleasing everyone as could be expected." Members of the Sams Valley Grange wiil haveVa potluck dinner Saturday, July 13, 7 p.m., on the lawn at the Table Rock store. Coffee and punch will be fur nished by Mr. and Mrs. John Thomas, new members of the Grange and owners of the store. Mrs. William Bishop and daughter, Joyce, of Kansas City, arrived here Tuesday evening, making a 3,577 mile trip with one driver at the wheel for the entire distance. They wilt join two other daughters. Miss Linda and Miss Gail, who have been visiting friends and rela tives here for the past two weeks. Mrs. Bishop told us some enlightening news about taxes in Kansas, where a sales tax is charged on practically everything you buy. Mrs. Bishop says that every now and then an auditor comes to their house, takes over her adding machine and proceeds to check all the records, sometimes spend ing an hour or so, while you have to sit it out, answer ing questions. We think taxes are bad enough here, but after hearing what they are in Kansas, we see that they could be much worse. The members of the Table Rock ladies club have completed circulating a petition asking for a speed zone with the proper signs posted in this district. Mrs. E. W. Robinson reports that all those who were shown the petition readily signed it. The editorial in Monday's Mail Tribune caused quite a little interest and criticism. The editorial was a reprint from an Idaho newspaper. The story was told by a Canadian reporter at Jackson, Miss., who criticized the police. In reprinting the editorial, E.A. showed us that what others thought of our race riots, and personally, we can see no harm in so doing. We in no way mean to degrade the police. We have nothing but the highest regard for our police. In fact, we worked with the state police during the G.G.C. war in Jackson county and found them to be excellent people. Captain Bown told us that besides the physical and other tests his boys had to pass, there was also a moral code they had to pass. He said that these boys did not touch liquor or smoke cigarettes. We hope they still adhere to these principles. Among the many things we learned at the recent . meeting of correspondents at the country home of the Twitcheils was that they have a fine garden, which we believe Mrs. T. is responsible for. Also we learned that "lady" is a title and not to be used as we did in a recent column, where we wrote of a genteel lady. We should have said a genteel woman. Our alibi for this mistake is that in times past, we understood that Nelly was a lady. The daily vacation Bible school closed its sessions Tuesday night with an excellent program which was attended by Sunday School folks of this area. When the genteel English lady (woman) who had spent a fortnight with us departed for the Leavitt home, she used the expression "TTFN," which means "Ta Ta for Now." Thought for the day . You can't teach an old dog new tricks Raccoon Makes Life Interesting At Pioneer Village By MARY KELL Mail Tribune Correspondent Gold Hill - Members of Amethyst Rebekah lodge 87 and Independent Order of Odd Fellows lodge 129 have greed that the upper story of Gold Hill IOOF building should be removed, and that the lodge rooms, kitchen and rest rooms be relocated on the ground floor of the struc- tu.o. The group feels that It is rgent to get the project un der way before bad weather sets in. Taking down and dis posing of the bricks will be the first problem. Many factors are involved in this first step to remodel the well known landmark which was built in 1889. Inril Bids The group voted to Invite bids for removal of the upper story of the building. Bids will be submitted to the IOOF lodge 129. Consideration as to how the brick walls witt be taken down, cost of Job, salvage and value of bricks which were handmolded, and source for disposal of bricks are of vital importance. Also to be determined will be plans for the roof and lower floor where the hall will be relocated. All remodel ing will be done according to regulations of the city building code. All final de cisions concerning the build ing remodeling project will be sanctioned by the Grand Lodge of Oregon. It is the general opinion of those who attended a recent planning meeting that the roof and exterior of the build ing should be completed If possible before winter. Inter ior work on the new hall, it was decided could be done during winter months. This would enable the remodeling to progress, and regu.ar lodge meetings could be held dur ing those months. Preliminary plans to model the building were made June 25, when 26 members of the two lodges met at the hall. Engineer Reports Action to have the upper floor removed followed a re port by H. D. Force that re moval of the top of building had been recommended by an engineer after a complete in spection of the two story brick building had been made. Although It is the consensus of the members that the re modeling project should be put in motion, all the neces sary funds have by no means been raised. The fraternal group will continue to give fund raisers. The IOOF building fund was started by the Rebekahs and Odd Fellows last Janu ary to raise money to improve the building. All proceeds de rived from many different fund raisers have been ear marked "building fund." As of June 25 the fund had reached $1,719.09 after all ex penses had been paid. Besides Force, others or the IOOF building fund com mittee are the two noble grands, Mrs. Albert Gascon, and Martin Johnson; Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Walker, Mrs. Paul Molloy, and Mrs. Cassle Johnson, vice-grand of Ame thyst lodge who was recently appointed to replace Mrs. Charles Stripling on the com mittee. Mrs. Stripling who had served as general chair man, resigned due to illness. COFFEE SHOP NOW OPEN 61A MID NIGHT AT THE BIG Y Grayback Camp Has Overnight Fee Illinois Valley - According to Curt .

How to ' Jacksonville Driving a raccoon to the Pioneer Vil lage in Jacksonville proved to be an unforseen adventure for Mrs. Pat London of Ker by, her two children, Danny, 9 years, Baby Joey, 1V4 years, and her nephew, Rob Holton, 15 years. The coon escaped from its cage just south of Grants Pass and scrambled from the rear of the station wagon to the front of the car.

The nest can be seen from most narts of the lake, par ticularly from the northeast shore. I .p Frost, owner of tne Lake Selmac resort, spotted the nest for the first time nhnut three months ago, when enough heavy timber had been removed so that ne could see it, but he noted it Drobably had been tnere ior noitn nnme time before that. Frost feels the birds may be some type of large hawks, but added that according 10 siaie onmo commission personnel thev are American nam Eaeles. birds which are pro' tected by the United States government because they are so rare. Looking through binoculars Frost said he has seen two young birds around the nest which now are aimoai icm." ered and ready to leave it. fully inspected the car win dows and the occupants.

MORTON MILLING CO. 500 Rosa Lane, Medford Now, without tedious waiting, without cumber some spreaders, you can halt the spread of dying grass that used to mean the beginning of the end. Ortho has just what the doctor ordered... and all you do is sprayl But before you proceed with the operation, you must diagnose the case. DO-IT-YOURSELF DIAGNOSIS You can do it yourself right from your own lawn chair. First look for insect signs. Cream-colored moths hovering at dusk; orange butterflies flying by day. Or check the grass itself. You may find pencil-sized holes leading down to grass roots or white grubs chewing at the base of the blades. If you find none of these, then the plague is prob ably lawn disease any one of five or six that can strike Western lawns in the sum mer and early fall, RXi DIBROM Now for the cures. First a spray that goes down deep... gives fast, fast, fast relief from lawn insects: Dibrom Lawn Spray. Minutes after you spray your lawn, you'll see insects boil up out of the grass and die . . before your very eyts. Because Dibrom not only kills lawn insects on contact; its vapor is very irritating to them. Hurry ing lo escape the irritation, they shoot to the sur face, right amack into the Dibrom that does 'em in. Then they dry up and blow away, taking with them the threat of a lush turf turned to tatters. And "they" is the who'a who of lawn insects: lawn moth, cutworms, armyworms, wireworms, leafhoppers and thrips. RXi LAWN FUNGICIDE For lawn diseases, Ortho has devised a dandy that takes care of most major diseases that plague Western lawns. Brown patch, melting Dr.OHTHOwtwnUa omcV cere far MtMf rtaatt DIBROM ItWMSrnftV out, grease spot, dollar spot, fading out and fusarium patch. It's name: Ortho Lawn Fungi cide, with not one but three fungicides in it. It even contains iron so it corrects chlorosis (yellow ing of the grass.) NOW FOR THE OPERATION It couldn't be simpler. No scalpel. No forceps. No cumbersome spreaders. AH you do is spray. You spray Dibrom with the Ortho Lawn Sprayer; Ortho Lawn Fungicide with the Spray-Ette. The sprayers do all the diluting automatically so you always apply the right amount. The cost of the operation is reasonable, too. You can treat over 1000 square feet of lawn with Ortho Lawn Fungicide for less than 75C and with Dibrom for less than $l.iJ. PROGNOSIS t ' A healthy, lush green lawn all summer long, undamaged by insects or disease. The kind of lawn you worked and watered and fertilized to get. Just proves what we always say. If you've got any pro blem with your lawn or gar den, sec the doctor. He'a the fellow with the rows of red-and-yeltow bottles, boxes and cans: your authorized Ortho dealer.
