Historical Photos
Now On Display
Happy Camp-Now on dis
play at the Happy Camp Drug
store is a collection of photo
graphs enlarged from origin
al photographs of early day
Happy Camp.
The collection has grown
from a hobby of Milton Kever
shan Sr. and son, Milton Kev
ershan Jr., owners of the
Happy Camp Drug, as they
collect items ot historical in
terest of this area. ' '
Included in the collection
are the photos of Nate Evans,
father of Mrs. Guy Head of
Happy Camp, who owned the
original Evans Store in Happy
Camp in the very early 1800's.
Other photos include those
of Alice Swearengen Sedros,
who was born near Indian
Town Bar, which was a min
ing settlement about 10 miles
up Indian Creek' from Happy
Camp. She was born in 1876
and still resides near where
she was born.
There is a photo of Ohio
Camp, supposedly the man
for whom Happy Camp was
named, a story that has been
disputed by many of the old
timers of the area who never
heard of the man. There also
are many pictures ot the. com
munity itself as it changed
through the years.
According to Milton Kever
shan Sr., .the. photographs
have created a lot of interest
here, with many persons each
day coming in to view the
collection

History Boundary, Government Study
Groups Of Boosters' Club Give Reports

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.

tances to travel. I
