MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON

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.
