iPletion, and the family is ex
pecting to be in their new home
by Christmas. A one-story ranch
type house, it commands a
beautiful view of the little val
ley in which Hornbrook lies.
Mr. ; and Mrs. Frank Suetta
and their family have already
moved into their new tri-level
home northwest of the quaran
tine station. The home is on the
exact location of their old home,
the former Rob Cummins prop
erty, which burned to the
ground last January. From their
home, the view is spectacular
of Mt. Shasta, the valley, and
the surrounding mountains.
Also nearing completion is the
A-frame being built by Mr. and
Mrs. Wendell Baker of Port
land, Ore. Located on property
which they have recently bought
from Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Graves of Yreka, and which ad
joins the Henley - Hornbrook
cemetery, the Baker home looks
out across the fields to Bogus
and Goosenest mountains and
up the Klamath river towards
Iron Gate. The Bakers and their
son, Bradley, hope to be in their
new location by sometime next
spring.
A little up the road and across

new home he and his bride-to-be
are planning to establish after
their marriage, probably next
summer. Mrs. Baker is a sister

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.

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

ranged through People-to-Peo-ple,

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

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.

HAPPY CAMP A test for re-
broad casting television into
Happy Camp area was made
over the week end, with excel
lent results, according to Jim
Denham of Happy Camp, who is
heading the drive for funds to
set up translator equipment on
Slater Butte Lookout.
According to Denham, the test
equipment was put into opera
tion Saturday at noon and was
taken out of use Monday morn
ing. The signal was reported
very good in all Happy Camp
areas. It reaches about nine
miles up Indian Creek and a
little way up the South Fork of

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.
