NEALON Mail TrlbuM Tibl Rock Cotrsipondaur Jacksonville - The filling out ot membership cards in the Jacksonville B o d txttf club opened a meeting ot the club Tuesday night at the city hall. The cards state the aim ot the boosters' club as follows: "A community or ganization ' working! ' for ' the general welfare and improve ment of the city of Jackson ville. Three study groups will work through . the .summer (history, boundary, govern ment), At the summer's end each group . will .turn .in. a report of its findings tor com munity discussion. In the fall, aeries of town meetings will be held, based on these reports. Here they will be received by the (oral people and from this open discus sion will come another re port, which will be called the community report. Sam Ouilint This plan for the reports follows the same outline as the three part community study on Cle Elum, Washing ton. This report, along with Richard Waverly Poston's book "Democracy Is You are available In the library. John Crabb spoke of the work the boundary committee has done so far. The work is based on a "point of identifi cation" with inch Items as clVic and fraternal clubs, wa ter, sewer, fire department, health, church, school, tele phones and power. The group will chart these arras, from which maps will be made with' different colors for the separate outlines mentioned above. The boundary committee found that city limits aren't very meaningful ccpt in the realm of city government. Fire, health, and fraternal groups go outside the city lim its quite a bit. Crabb said he thought it good in any community tor people to know each other and have confidence in one another. He urged building up the tourist trade by keep ing Jacksonville's biggest po tential Intact - the historic buildings - and also by being a "living community. Don Wendt reported on the history committee. This group has gathered together a num ber of people who have lived all or a great part of their lives in Jacksonville. In tliLi group are George Wendt, Charles Wilcox, Mrs. Grace Noble, Judge Herbert Hanna. Peter Fick. Alfred Carpenter, Fred Scheffel. Clinton Smith and Pearl Whitney. They meet at the library Tuesday afternoons and discuss the past and how they remember and knew it. Many facets are opened in the discussions and written down: the old stage coach, the Chinese district, etc. Some ot the information goes back to 1860. From this gathering an out line will be worked out as to how the old buildings look ed, where old wells are, and how and what businesses were established. The mate rial will be edited and told In a third person manner, as if by an old miner who tells the story of Jacksonville ht remembers It. Another club member re ported on ihe ' government committee. This subject is broken down inlo 13 divi sions. Some of the divisions are "Your Local Govern ment," "Structure and Func tions of Government." "Pub lic Protection." and "Plan nlng and Zoning." Check CharUr They will check the city charter, ordinances, the limi tations placed on authority, and civic duties. The purpose is to develop a framework for where Jacksonville is going and to develop an outline for Its growth to work on. This group asks especially for young citizens' help. The work planned 'will give background on town govern ment in relation to state and county. The committee meets every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. In the public library. "Social" and "Population" are two committees to be started next week. The Boosters' club minutes are available for reading at any time In the library. The next general meeting will be held Aug. 13. A few days ago a man came to our house and intro duced himself. He said he was Belmont Pankey and had gone to school with us in the little one-room school house some 60 years ago. During our conversation we asked him how long he attended school. He said one term. One term those days meant three months. In the spring. Later they had three months in the fall, making six months in the school year. Personally, we went more than one term. The rule those days was to go until you finished Barnes fifth reader, or reached the age ot 21. We finished the fifth reader, and were carrying the U.S. mail before we were 21. There were no grades those days. Belmont dropped in to tell us that he had been told by Ed Vincent that the local ladies club was trying to get a speed zone here. He wanted to tell them he would go to bat for them, and would write to the Gover nor informing him of the situation. He said he had clocked several logging trucks going 70 miles per hour, which he said was much too fast in a community as . thickly settled as this one. He also told us he had gone to Washington, D.C., and talked with some of our con gressmen about matters pertaining to the welfare of this area. He said they listened to what he said and that he got action. So the good ladies of the local club have a sponsor who will go all out to help them get something he believes is badly needed. ' e Th Exposure Fad The following is from a M.T. Editorial written by E.A. several years ago. ' "FOR MEN ONLY . "Men "Just in case you missed it, there, was a significant item in this newspaper the'other day. It was printed in , the 'society' or .'women's' section, which is why you might not have seen it. "Anyway ' "It said ' " 'The men have won the battle to keep .their women looking sexy instead of sacky. The decurving silhouette of the. gunnysack of last spring is dead . . .' "What's more, this story, written by a lady United Press International writer named Gay Pauley, gave the credit to us the men. "'It is clear that-the grass roots protests from hus . bands and taxi-drivers have not gone unheeded,' it said. We haven't checked with any taxi-drivers recently, but we know at least one husband who is glad, glad, glad this abomination is to be removed. "And we know at least one society editor who took the plunge into the sack, so to speak, and now wonders what to do about that humpy dress." Recently we heard a minister talking on the radio say that If some prominent women started a fad of going bare-footed up to the chin and said it was the style, there would be a lot of women give it a whirl. I don't know how far they would get, but if a man tried it he would be arrested on the spot. We have wondered why Eric hasn't had something to say about this present day exposure fad. , Travels and. Visits Bob Sage and his two sons, Peter and David have finished cultivating the Christmas trees, hoeing the melons, and marketing last year's corn crop. When this appears in print the Sage family will be motoring to Boston, where they will visit Mrs. Sage's relatives and friends. They expect to be gone for about one month. - Mrs. Wm. Bishop and three daughters, Linda, Gail, and Joyce who have been visiting with relatives and friends in this area for the past two weeks are leaving Friday for their home In Bethel, Kansas. Thought for the day . We should remember that the person with a narrow mind generally has the biggest mouth.
