8 A FRIDAY, JULY 26. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Tablets By R. E. NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent Gilbert Johnson, the Medford painter, was out this way Tuesday. He, and the little woman, after some in spection, decided our wigwam was getting a bit shabby and needed a new coat of paint, and after some per suasion he consented to do it. This reminds us of a story in the old reader where someone was painting a picture, and the lines read thus, "Ah good painter, but you can't paint the sound." In this house painting deal, there will be many sounds, from the buzz of the little mosquito, the roar of the big logging trucks going down the highway some 100 ft. away, aeroplanes overhead, and an occasional sonic boom that rattles the windows, the bleating of sheep, the moo of a cow, the crowing of our tin rooster, and other sounds that are common to our peaceful farm life. The Dan Sage family visited relatives here Wednes day. Dan is a coordinator of special education in the Hayward district schools in California. Hope we got this right, for Dan says he reads our stuff. Prodding lha Corn Sanford Richardson is prodding his sweet corn, hop ing to have roasting ears by the time his son, Donald and family arrive from Portland for their summer vaca tion. They are very fond of trie kind of sweet corn "Cramps" raises. This is the season when we gel many visitors from California and other places, where living is not so picas ant. Our better half insists that we get our hair cut more often, as we don't know when someone may drop, in. Herman Priem, the ex-barber and retired farmer, re ports that counting themselves and visiting relatives, they had recently 19 seated at the dinner table. They say success is relative; more success, more relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Everett Brown returned Wednesday from Portland accompanied by their daughter, Miss Clenna, who has been attending school in the metropolis. We recently heard a speaker on the radio say that if it hadn't been for the insecticides and chemical fertilizers we Americans would now be on staravatlon rations. We have been connected In some way with the farming busi ness since we were knee high to a grasshopper and we don't go along with this at all. During all my time we have had surpluses of farm products, except during World War One when there was a shortage of wheat. On the other hand back when the People's parly was organized there was a million bushel surplus of wheat in the U.S. which people said set the price on all wheat. At that time they were trying to do something about surpluses. Insecticides were not heard of at that time. Petition at tha Stora Mrs. E. W. Robinson wishes to remind local folk that the petition relative to the curve near the Table Rock store is at the the store where it may be signed. So many of our old pioneer friends have passed away lately, that a recent funeral the undertaker mentioned to me that I was losing many of my friends, and if this kept up I would be like him without any friends. Thought for the day: Many of those who are urging JFK to push Khrushchev around condemned FDR for what they called getting us Into World War Two.
