A one-story ranch type house, it commands a beautiful view of the little val ley in which Hornbrook lies.

NEALON Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent Ernest Lyman, an old timer of the Gold Hill area, stopped in Tuesday, and we spent quite a little time reminiscing and going over past history, local and nation-wide. He and we have something in common as our father went south just before the Civil War broke out to work in his uncle's store. His uncle was a Unionist and didn't have any use for the secession, and talked so much against it that he was hanged and father high-tailed it back to his home in Connecticut and enlisted in the Union Army, and returned to the South, where he met and married our mother. Ernest's grandfather was a southerner, but went up North to Ohio and Ernest said he shot off his mouth so much that something happened to him. Ernest's daugh ter "Shirley" Mrs. Joseph Spurita, who has been living in India for several years where her husband sells wheat for the Western Wheat Growers Assn., expects to return home with her husband in the spring. Mr. and Mrs. Milton Houston, from the Banana Belt, where the su ever shines, over the fogless mountain tops at Upper Applegate, were visitors here Sunday with rela tives at the R. E. Nealon and J. S. Richardson homes. We were surprised and shocked on hearing of the death of Bob Walters recently in Portland. Little Bob was a for mer Regional Editor of the Mail Tribune and we enjoyed very much working with him. He was an energetic worker, cheerful and with wit and a high sense of humor, that sometimes got him into arguments, like the one with the Medford police. He told me the story that caused this ruckus was written as a joke, but it seemed to go over their heads. Mrs. Harry Ellis reports that their son, Ralph and fam ily will soon rj flying home to spend Christmas with Ralph's parents at the Ellis hide-a-way in the Beagle area. Ralph, an engineer, is with the Bureau of Land Management at Anchorage, Alaska. Also, Ruth Ellis, granddaughter of Harry Ellis and daughter of Ralph Ellis, a student at Pa cific Lutheran at Tacoma, Wash., will be present. Since there has been so much talk about the future poli cies of our new President, we are going to put this in, rela tive to the policies of Andrew Johnson, who became Presi dent after the assassination of President Lincoln. The fol lowing is taken from Harpers Weekly of May, 1865, which contains a full page picture of Andrew Johnson.: "As to Mr. Johnson's future policy, his explicit state ments leave us no room for doubt. Against responsible, conscious traitors the law must take its course as against other criminals. They must not only be punished, but im poverished. "The problem of restoration for loyal men to solve. Except in the abolition of slavery, the states are to retain the character which belonged to them before the war. "We are pledged, according to the requirements of the Constitution, to secure to these States a republican form of government. In reply to the question: What constitutes a State? Mr. Johnson answers: 'Its loyal citizens.' It is into the hands of these that the work of reconstruction will be committed. "Mr. Johnson comes into power through a most melan choly occurrence, but he has entered upon the duties of his office with a dignity and firmness that elicits at the same time the confidence of the American people. May God spare his iJe and guide his steps." Thought For The Day: When the Sinatras were playing around the gambling casinos they probably didn't know the stakes would be so high. Happy Camp Tests New Television Boosting System Gold Hit! Students Continue Work With Peonle-to-Peonle Program GOLD HILL Seventh grade students at Hanby Elementary School in Gold Hill began strong international friendship with their counterparts in Korea last year. Under the supervision of their teacher, Mrs. Mildred Black, they exchanged scrapbooks with students at Sung Jus Agricul tural School in Kyung Buk, Upper Applegate Women Hear About Snider Trip APPLEGATE VALLEY John Snider, former Medford mayor, told local homemakers recently about foods and customs in Al ba, Italy, Medford's sister city. He spoke at the Christmas meeting of Upper Applegate Ex tension Unit at Ruch Commu nity Church. Washing and ironing are done by hand, Snider said, and a women's meeting such as he ad dressed is not seen in Alba because women stay at home. Drying of corn is a prevalent custom, and wild jack rabbits are a source of meat. Most homes are of stucco. stone, or cement with the barn at the back, and rabbits occupy the loft. Being in a home a thousand years old brings a very great sense of security, the speaker said. The family unit is very strong, and family walks on Sunday afternoon are com mon. Truffles are a great delicacy. and dogs are trained to scent these subterranean fungi. After Snider returned to Medford he was sent a large truffle from the mayor of Alba, who also had sent one to Dwight D. Eisen hower and the late President Kennedy, and to the late Pope John. The subject of pears and spa ghetti? "Italy has larger and better pears than ours, and we were in Alba three days before we had spaghetti," Snider said. A Christmas luncheon and gift exchange were other high lights of the meeting, and gifts were collected for the state mental hospital at Salem. Twenty-seven women attended. Guests included Mrs. Martha Perkins, Mrs. Clarence William, Mrs. Frank Mitchell, Mrs. Anne Hancock, Mrs. Lloyd Nordwick, Mrs. Omar Culy, Mrs. L. S. Snyder, and Mrs. Ruth Cham berlain of Gold Hill. Korea. The affiliation was ar ranged through People-to-Peo-ple, Inc. as part of its school and classroom program. At the local school it is in conjunction with social studies. This year the eighth graders under the supervision of their teacher Leon Myers are con tinuing this correspondence. The seventh grade is begin ning correspondence with Hanao Junior High School in Kitakyu- syu city, Japan, this year. Send Pictures Students of the seventh erade have written letters which they will send, along with a portfolio oi pictures ot Oregon and tho Rogue River Valley. They will also send a relief Map of Jack son and Josephine Counties, sup plied Dy tne county curriculum center. "The program has strong edu cational value," Mrs. Black said. "This project was designed to build students' interest in geography, history, language and culture of Japan, and more important, to create an aware ness of the people in other coun tries," she added. People-to-People officials re port that over 700,000 students in 67 countries are participating in the classroom exchange. The program was set up to be flex ible and practical for all grade levels. The purpose of the exchange is to stimulate international good will and to teach students how to communicate with others who speak different languages and follow other customs. People-to-People is an organi zation dedicated to promoting international understanding. Tho program was conceived by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower at a White House conference in 1956. In November 1961, People-to-People was established as a non-profit, non-political move ment of private citizens with headquarters in Kansas City, Mo. General Eisenhower is chairman of the board of trus tees, and the late President, John F. Kennedy was honorary chairman.

Channel 6 of Eureka was re broadcasting during the test. Ac cording to Denham, It would be no problem at all to rebroad cast the two channels from Eu reka, but Channel 10 of Medford would have to be amplified be fore it could be rebroadcast with good quality. The cost of sending the channels directly into the area would be a little over $3,000 each or a total of close to $10,000 for all three channels. The test was made to give the people in the area a preview look at the picture quality that can be received on small anten nas if enough money is collected to set up the equipment on the lookout peak north of Happy Camp. As a whole, Denham said, peo ple in the area have talked very favorably of the proposed sys tem. At present the town of Happy Camp is fed by a cable system put into operation about seven years ago by Siskiyou Video Co. of Yreka. It receives Channel 3 and 6, both of Eureka. A fee is charged for hook-up and a monthly up-keep charge. Two smaller community sys tems are also in operation on Indian Creek, both receiving the same channels. A general meeting will be held December 16 at 8 p.m. at the elementary school to name the company to be formed, to elect officers, and to make prepara tions to set up papers of incor poration, in order to get started on the proposed system, Den ham said. United Radio of Medford sup plied the test equipment. It was set up Saturday during fair weather, but by Monday morn ing when the equipment was taken down, 20 inches of new snow was on the ground.
