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."

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.

Larqe Nest Spotted On
Tree Near Lake Selmac
Reims - Standing on the
northeast side of Lake Selmac
at a point just beyond the
lake's spillway is a 15u-tooi
tall fir snag with what ap
pears to be a large bird's nest
on its top.
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

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

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.
