JUL FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 19M MF.D1 OHI) MAIL IRIBLNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Tablets By R. E. NEALON Mill Tribune Table Reck Correspondent Henry and Betty Shaknis were here Tuesday from their hillside home where the coyotes roam in the Sams Valley area. The way Henry talks we believe he is about ready to join the club of retired husbands with industrious wives. The following from Senator Maurine Neuberger's recent newsletter has some bearing on the race question, and reminds some Oregonians of what the Oregon law says about discrimination: ' "A dignified, well-dressed gentleman stood quietly next to the cash register in an Oregon roadside restaurant. When the waitress noticed him she asked if she could do something for him. " 'Do you serve colored people here?" The waitress retort ed, 'Why not'? 'Will you serve me and my family here, please?' came the low voice. 'Why sure,' was the surprised answer. The man went to his car which bore Texas plates and returned with a Negro woman and a child. They sat in a booth and ate their dinner quietly.' "Did the waitress know that Oregon law prevents dis crimination? Probably not. We would rather think that she just believed that all people get hungry on the road and it is her job to serve them." From the Eugene Register-Guard. The criticisim of the M.T. editorials we hear over the air reminds us of something similar sometime ago when Bob Ruhl wrote the editorials. We asked him one day if these attacks got under his skin. He chuckled and said "No, that shows they read the paper and that's what we publish it for." He came out for common sense and law and order and kept at it when it. looked as if . radicals, and crooks were about to cause the county to go into a tail spin. That is how he won the Pulitzer award. We have been connected with the M.T. for nearly 50 years, and the story that correspond ents are not allowed to express their own opinions is pure hogwash, .. Frank Myers is nursing a sore right hand with the trigger finger. missing, owing to an accident last Saturday morning while setting his gopher gun in a rat hole. The gun which is loaded with a 16 gauge shotgun shell came into contact with some object that jarred the trigger, causing the gun to fire, blowing off one finger and injuring another. Mrs. Maude Boswell, whose picture appeared in Wednes day's M.T. taught the Table Rock School back in the ninties. At that time site was Miss Maude Downing, and the family lived in Central Point; Since taxes seem, to be the main order of the day, we submit the following clipping. We understand it was written by a person who left Oregon because it had no sales tax, and thought since California had a sales tax, taxes would be lower. "To the Editor: You lucky, lucky people who live in Ore gon. You certainly are fortunate you don't live in California or Washington, where they really have high taxes. In Los Angeles city and county, and in San Francisco, you pay 6 per cent to 8 per cent sales tax on everything you buy, in cluding food, clothing and sheltor. In case some misinformed soul cays it is only 3 per cent I'll tell you that you pay a penny on IS cents spent and 2 cents on every quarter spent. Figure it out for yourself. Also, they have a very high prop erty and income tax. An organization known as CCH or Com merce Clearing House makes a study of and reports on all phases of all taxes in the United States. There is no higher authority on matters of taxation. "Now CCH says Washington state collects more per capita tax than any other state in the Union, with California not far behind. Oregon collects about half as much as Washing ton and California. "I have just returned from a trip to Oakland and Los Angeles, and find that their prices are 25 per cent to 30 per cent higher than prices for most things in Oregon." . Thought for the day An ounce of prevention Is worth more than a pound of cure. Friday The 13th Was Unlucky For Some In Prospect PROSPECT-Friday, Sept. 13 was an unlucky day for a num ber of residents of the Prospect area. Some blamed the weather, be cause Prospect had a deluge of rain that day and the pavement on highways was slick. Mrs. Harry Huntsley was driving along in her small for eign car when it went into a slide, hit an embankment and overturned. There was extensive damage. Bud Maxwell, distributor for Standard Oil in the. Prospect area, recently purchased a new truck. As he was approaching the bridge across the Rogue river near here he touched his brakes, which caused the truck to slip and go into an embank ment. The truck, full of gasoline, turned over but fortunately did not catch fire. Maxwell escaped with a few bruises. Another unlucky driver was Louis Lacy of Shady Cove, who was driving a logging truck when the steering apparatus went out. As a result he could not control the truck, and it went into some trees. The truck was completely demo 1 i s h e d. Lacy received a few cuts and bruises. Informal Reception Held By Tiller PTA for School Teachers TILLER-DREW - A polluck dinner served as an informal reception for the Tiller school teachers last week preceding the business meeting of the PTA. Two major projects for the coming year were discussed. They were buying either a back drop for the stage or suits for the basketball boys. After much discussion, a final decision was tabled until the next meeting. The next meeting will be Tuesday, Oct. 1, at the Tiller school auditorium. LIFELONG HOBBY S Sgt.

Such is the case with S'Sgt. I Harry Lowe, ret., of 105 South Second St., who began with a childhood hobby and developed it into an adulthood interest. Prized Possession ! One of Lowe's prized posses sions today is a plane called the "Gool," built from plans for the largest model plane ever marketed. It flys beautifully but very slowly, like an old army trans port, according to Lowe. The ; model cost $75 to build not in cluding the cost of the engine to lilt it. Lowe also has several small streamlined models, which prac tically shoot up into the air. These are motor jobs. He also specializes in model gliders, i which depend on (hernials lo keep thorn aloft. Enters Meet Lowe received many trophies while in the service, including three at the TAC Model Air plane meet held at Langlpy AKB June 28 through July 2, lliiiu. He look first place in the A-l and A-2 combined glider classes, second place in class "A" free flight and also a second in class "B" free flight, which as sured him a berth on the six member squad selected to rep resent TAC in the Air Force world-wide meet at James Con nally AKB, Texas on July 15- 19, 19ti0. He entered his first touch competition in 1955 when he won third place in the United States Air Force Model airplane meet wnile stationed in Eng land. In 195B, he camp in first in both the class "A" and class "B", United Kingdom competi tion. In the same year, he en tered the USAFE in Germany meet to take first place honors in the class "B" contest. More Honors After his reassignment in the slates, at Biggs AFB. Texas, the model enthusiast won first, in the Air Defense Command class "A" meet at Kl. Bliss, Texas. In 1958, Lowe continued to win as he again raptured first place honors in the Nordic A-l and A-2 combination at Biggs. AFB, and took first place honors in the class "A" free flight at the 15th Air Force meet. Shortly afterward, Lowe came out first in the Nordic A-l and A-2 combination and won an other first place in the class "B" free flight of the SAC elimination meet. This qualified him to compete in the United Stales Air Force World Wide meet at Norton AFB, Calif. In this contest he won the top honors in the Nordic A-l and A-2 combination ami fifth place in the class "B" free flight match. The next year, he again en tered the SAC tournament at Biggs AFB to take second place among the contestants in the A-l and A-2 competition. Longest Flight His longest flight recorded was one hour and 15 minutes while at Biggs. He lost one Nordic Glider in the clouds after it had been up 34 min utes. Iiwe adopted niklol airplane building as a hobby in KUR. when models were practically a mystery and very few of them actually flew. He has since built many models from plans. This is a complicated job and takes hours and sometimes weeks of his spare time. He has a large col lection of model airplane molors, which he tears down Exploratory Work At Box Canyon Starts This Week YREKA Senator Randolph Collier announced today that ex ploratory drilling to check the geological suitability of Box Canyon on the Sacramento River as a dam site will be begun this week 'by the State Department of Water Resources. The work in Box Canyon in Siskiyou county, downstream from Mount Shasta City, is part of a feasibility study authorized by the legislature at the recent session. Senator Collier said he has been informed by William E. Warne, State Director of Water Resources, that the drilling will be done at the proposed dam site about 1,000 feet downstream from the mouth of Box Canyon. "The operations will extend about a quarter mile along the canyon in an area where there are precipitous walls," Senator Collier said. "The work may cause falling rocks and general ly hazardous conditions for any one entering the canyon at streambed level." "Warning signs will be posted and we ask that unauthorized persons stay out of the danger area until the work has been completed by the end of the year."
