City of Central Point Served
By Modern Fire Equipment
Bv MARY COLLEY
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Central Point - When the
city fire whistle sounds in
Central Point, quite a change
takes place along the main
street, for many of the busi
ness, men are also volunteer
firemen.
Serving the city with no
remuneration, on call night
and day, the 22 men who com
prise the volunteer fire de
partment have the satisfaction
of knowing they have the
training and equipment to
cope with any situation.
Their equipment consists of
three fire trucks and one res
cue unit. The rescue unit, put
in service in 1959, is the most
recently acquired purchase
and was obtained through the
cooperative effort of the en
tire department.
Valuable
This unit is proving to be
one of the most valuable
pieces of equipment, as it is
fully outfitted with modern
equipment two scuba div
ing outfits, a 1500. watt gen
erator, stretcher, a Scott air
pack, inhalator, aspirator,
first aid needs, cutting sup
plies, porta - power hydraulic
unit, chemical fire extinguish
ers, grappling hooks, two
way radio, portable spotlights,
salvage covers, and miscel
laneous hand tools.
The resuscltator has been
Invaluable and has been used
with great success, accord'
ing to Don Milligan, assistant
are chief.
However, the present 1953
truck which houses this unit
is becoming unserviceable
and must soon be replaced.
Plans are now in the making
to provide a new truck
through donations from resi
dents and organizations of
the Central Point area, Milli
gan continued.
The Central Point Fire de
partment has always been a
volunteer organization, be
ginning in 1894 with the hose
cart drawn to the fire by
hand. Later teams and wagons
were used.

STUDENT FIELD TRIP Central Point's Fire department
also serves as sort of an educational tool, as field trips are
made by primary school pupils in District 6 each year. This
photo taken last June shows Don Milligan, assistant fire chief,

serve the community. In 1956
a new fire hall and library
building were completed.
Clang No Longer Heard
The clang of the old fire
bell, which was presented to
the city by the Ladies Benev
olent society, is no longer
heard, as the more modern
siren has taken its place. The
bell Is still to be seen at
the left front side of the fire
hall.
Each year a tour of the
fire department is a field trip
of interest to Central Point
nrimary school pupils. This
year approximately 250 chil
dren from Jewett and Sams
Valley schools visited the fire
department during June.
The firemen hold tncir
meetings the first Wednesday
of each month at 7:30 p.m.
The remaining Wednesdays of
the month at the same time
the men hold their drills and
are taught new methods, com
pleting and adding to their
training.

Tablets

RegionalCalendar
Sams Valley - Saturday,
August 10 at 7 p.m., Sams
Valley Grange picnic at the
Thomas home at Table Rock
store.
Jacksonville - Tuesday, 8
p.m., special city council
meeting on sewer assessments,
city hall.
Early Sunday morning there appeared at our house
Carl McLean, a 58ths Sioux Indian of Portland, Ore
gon. He was the Hiawatha type, tall, and straight, slim
and active. He said his great grand-Dad was called
Chief High Bear. He is known by the members of his
tribe as Chief McLean. He was told that we could tell
about the Indians and about their camping grounds. At
this point we had to tell him we were not here at the
time the Indians were. His business here is to try and
arrange for an Indian village and he has picked the
lower Table Rock as an ideal place for such a village.
In this village they plan to make beads, trinkets, other
wearing apparel, and other things usually made by the
Indians which they use to sell and trade. Chief McLean
says this will be a great help to the Indians and also an
attraction to tourists and stimulant to the valley econ
omy. According to him they will try to enact, the old
scenes back in the days when the Indians were here.
(Now we hope they don't enact the scalpings.) We asked
him if they would have the two squaws jump off the
cliff, rather than be captured by the American soldiers.
He said he didn't believe that story. He thinks the
squaws would rather be captured by the soldiers than
to jump off the cliff. To establish and operate an Indian
village Chief McLean would have to lease or buy this
land. Believe it or not, we have seen a cup of dry beans
grown on this rock, and have drunk water from a dug
well about 3 ft. deep and only a few rods from the edge
of the cliff.
Our English friend reports that while she was din
ing with a friend up in the mountains, a large lizard
hopped across her plate and caused her to lose her appe
tite, as she didn't know whether the lizard had washed
his feet lately. Ta! Ta! TTFN (Ta, Ta, for now).
Otis Hedge of Medford, accompanied by Mr. and
Mrs. Lytle of Napoleon, Ohio, and children, were visi
tors with relatives at the Everett Brown home last
Monday.
Mrs. Joe Perry tells us that the J. J. Nichols (an old
timer) mentioned recently in the Tablets was her hus
band's grandfather.
The Robinson combine is harvesting local grain
which is said to be yielding quite well. Some fields are
producing barley where a measured bushel weighs
close to 50 lbs.
According to Welborn Beeson's diary, he organized
the first grange in Sams Valley, Feb. 16, 1874. This
grange operated several years before closing. The pres
ent grange was organized in 1926.
The next meeting of the Sams Valley Grange, will
be held Saturday evening Aug. 10 on the lawn at the
Table Rock Store. There will be a pot-luck picnic din
ner and the usual business and good time enjoyed by
grangers when they get together.
Among local people who have killed rattlesnakes
recently are John Dickey, who slew one with a stick,
and the Don Wheelers, who killed a large one on the
west side road with a gun and two shovels.
Thought for the day
It is more blessed to give than to receive, so. we
Americans should be a truly blessed people.
