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.

TILLER-DREW - A polluck
dinner served as an informal

teachers last week preceding

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.

TALENT How many parents!
realize when they watch a son
fly small model airplanes that
he may some day grow up to
have a hobby that involves
building a plane 68 inches long
with a wing span of nine feet? j
And how many realize that i
such a hobby could bring the
builder of such models national
and international trophies and
honors?
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

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
