Siskiyou County's Retiring Employees Honored At Dinner Ice Cream in Talenl "Have you been to an old fashioned ice cream social lately?" writes Alice Bur nette, our Talent correspon dent. "I know that I hadn't since I was in high school, which is too many years ago to remember. But Thursday evening (July 25) a friend and I walked down the block -to the Methodist church and sat outside in the pleasant sum mer air, and it was warm, and we were served a double dip of home made ice cream, a slice of home made cake and a cup of coffee all for the munificent sum of 25 cents. Ours was chocolate but the members of the Methodist Youth Fellowship had also made strawberry and vanilla ice cream and all varieties of cakes. "It was pleasant to sit out side in the early evening at tables decorated with bou quets, listen to the music and talk with neighbors we had not seen for some time. One lady said that this was the first time she had ever attend ed an ice cream social. My age crept upon me as these affairs were quite common in my youth. Another lady said the last such affair she had attended had been held on the lawn of the city hall on a summer evening in the twenties with Japanese lan terns hung all around to light the affair." "All attending express e d the opinion that it would be nice to have more such pleas ant get-to-gethers with our neighbors. The young people served about 150 persons. hope everyone enjoyed evening as much as I did UNDERGOING DEVELOPMENT-Clarence Wilson has installed two water conservation ponds on his properly near Talent. The t in? ponds are part of hi.s plans for develop ment of Hie old oak grove, wherclown pic nics were held many years ago. Old Oak Grove West of Talent Undergoes Major Facelifting By ALICE BURNETTE Mail Tribune Correspondent Talent An old oak grove west of Talent is undergoing a complete facelifting. The grove, on the property of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Wil son, Foss rd., suffered the loss of many trees over recent years because of disease and recent windstorms. And so Wilson has used part of the opened area to install two water conserva tion ponds. The smaller one was built several years ago and contains approximately three acre feet of water. The new pond was built this spring, is about 14 feet deep and contains six to eight acre feet of water Finds Spring In diRRing out for the new pond, Wilson found a live spring in the bottom of it wnicn, along with pick up water, fills the pond. Miss Siskiyou Candidates Listed Yreka-Two candidates, one of them a Medford High chool graduate, have been nnounced for the Miss Sis kiyou contest here. Rosemary Susan Turk, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Turk of Happy Camp, is one of the entrants. The 17 -year -old Medford High school graduate plans to attend California State Poly technic college' in the fall as an English major. Miss Turk, who won the "Miss Happy Camp" title on the Fourth of July, is spon sored by the Happy Camp Volunteer Fire department. Chris-teen Gregory, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James O. Gregory of Fort Jones, also has entered the contest, to be held Aug 15 in Yreka. Miss Gregory, a 16-ycar-old Fort Jones High school stu dent, plans to become a com mercial artist. She is sponsor ed by the Scott Valley Boost ers club. The new pond sets above the older one and when it is filled, water runs through a pipe into the older pond. When the first pond was built, Wilson stocked it with bass. But because the new pond will receive fresh water from the spring, he plans to stock the larger pond with trout. Wilson used the soil dug out of the large pond area to fill low spots in the oak grove and to level it off. This is the last section of the ranch to be leveled. Wilson had started leveling the prop erly soon after he purchased it. Work with Corry Plans for further develop ment of the oak grove will continue this fall. The Wil sons are going to plant grass and landscape the whole grove with assistance of C. E. Corry, superintendent of the Lithia park in Ashland.
