George Bray of Bray's Ap
pliance and TV store in Yreka
had a sale the other day in
which husbands were worth
anywhere from 10 cents to $1
per pound off on various
items of merchandise.
The idea was for wives to
send their husbands to mar
ket, whereupon the men were
weighed. The husbands were
then worth 10 cents a pound
off on a new range, a dollar
a pound olf on a curved sec
tional, 20 cents a pound on a
TV and 25 cents a pound on
a sewing machine.
Bray reports that the firsi
man to enter the store on the
opening day of the sale weigh
ed 265 pounds.
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

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.
Many old timers in the com
munity have pleasant memo
ries of the old oak grove, be
