-.-.-Y'r. ;-; ,
A. Louis Day, our Trail area correspondent and the only
other man on the regional staff besides R. E. Nealon of
"Tablets," wrote in last week to report that he has finrf.y
mewed into the new home he had been building for himself
during the past two years. In So doing, he moved out of a
tiny shack he and his family had been occupying during the
construction period. Evidently it's a popular spot. Day says
he's had two inquiries about renting the shack and one about
selling the new home since he made the move.
Day is now working on growing a lawn around the new
home, an area he calls "tin can terrace," because the founda
tion is made up entirely of beer cans and dog food cans. It's
good and solid, he points out.
One of the hazards of building a home was being plagued
with telephone solicitations from a siding company, he found.
"The caller says she is calling from Portland, which I doubt,"
he comments, "and then says her company is making a sur
vey of the area to find out who is renting or who owns their
property. This is a stupid beginning, and I have told them so,
twice within the month, for really it is none of their busi
ness. Then she (it is usually a woman) says she represents
a construction company and wants to know if the person
called would hold still for a personal interview about putting
aluminum siding on their house."
Things Are Tough in O'Brien
From the sound of the latest batch of news items from
Letha Cooke, O'Brien correspondent, residents of that com
munity had a bit of a rough time last week:
"O'Brien Vester Cogburn is laid up with a broken ankle.
He slipped when tightening a load of logs and sustained the
injury. It will be about six weeks before he;can work again.
"Bill Woodbury wrenched his knee in the woods when a
log started to roll unexpectedly. Bill spent a day and one
night in a Medford hospital. It was expected that the condi
tion could only be corrected by an operation but after ex
tensive X-rays the doctors decided it would only need to be
casted. Bill will ue out of circulation for about six weeks.
"Charles Pomeroy received a deep gash on his forehead
from a rock in the swimming hole, he is not expected to be
laid up by this injury although it is painful.
"Albert Eggers is still recovering from a back sprain
which has kept him from work and had him in the Medford
hospital part of the time."
Sidelights at the Fair
"Among the highlights of the Josephine County Fair,"
writes Genevieve Briggs, Wilderville correspondent, "was the
little 4-year-old boy who rode in the horse show. He rode a
tiny Shetland pony, age 2, by the name of Rebel, and (he
hearts of all horsemen were with him as he rode like a little
man to the finish. Each person in the audience felt he should
have been given some recognition, if only an E for effort."
Mrs. Briggs also wants to express a "hats off" to the di
rectors of the many 4-H groups which participated in the fair.
The directors toil unsung and face many problems. One of
the problems at this fair was posed by the iact that the boys
wore white pants and shirts and green tics. Just a few
minutes before Johnny Jacobs, age 9, was to enter the show
ring he decided to have a drink of grape juice, with the in
evitable result that gooey purple dribbled down the front of
his white shirt. Director Ray Darneille, Mrs. Briggs ex
plained, came up with a solution. He took the shirt off the
back of another youth, Craig Bcnedctti, and put it on Johnny.
But then poor Johnny became confused and stood with his
back to the judges.
The Governor Visits Jacksonville
Katherine Harrell, our Jacksonville correspondent, is the
wife of artist Lyle Harrell. It seems she was tending the
family art studio a couple of .weeks back when Gov. Mark
Hatfield toured Jacksonville. The governor rode on the Jack
sonville Stage line, which departs from in front of the studio,
and then visited Harrclls' shop. Mrs. Harrell, a iairly recent
arrival from southern California, didn't know who he was
at the time. He didn't buy anything anyway, she noted.
