2 B I HIDAY, DlX'li.UUKIt 20, IMU MKDFOKD JIAII. ritiHLNK. MLUl OKU. OREGON Tablets By R. E. NEALON Mail Tribune Table flock Correspondent Tuesday was our worst day for fog so far this winter. It was so dense that our milkman delivered the milk on fool. V Mrs. Frank Myers has purchased a mousetrap of the flipping design. It doesn't make as much noise as Frank's gopher gun, but is not so hard on fingers. w The following are excerpts from Oregon Grange Bulletin. "The challenge of our times has many parts." That quotation from a policy statement adopted at the 97th annual session of the National Grange in Portland, expresses determination by the delegate body to meet squarely the many problems facing ail Americans and to find solutions. Although adopted prior to the tragic assassination of Presi dent Kennedy, that single sentence seems even more appro priate as the nation mourns his death and pledges support for a new leader in the White House. Scarcely a week before Lyndon Johnson succeeded to the Presidency, National Grange Master Hcrschel D. Ncwsom pledged a Grange "look to the future with hope and determination", and called for a "re surgency of responsible thinking." There will be a special Christmas program at the regular Sunday School hour at the Table Rock Sunday School Dec. 22. To the good folk who have been inquiring about our health, may we say we are getting much better. In fact, we can now put our pants on in a standing position, something we couldn't do for a week or so after they pulled them off at the hospital. So it looks as though we might be around here for a while yet. And why not? Living In the best part of the best slate in the best nation in the world and surrounded by kindly neigh bors, who could ask for more? To those who have sent the many cards and letters, Greet ings! Bessie has been trying to answer them, but is far behind. So we will use this medium to wish you one and all a glori ous Christmas and a New Year of good health and happiness. W w Chief McLean, our Indian friend, hasn't showed up around here for some time, and we meet people every few days who want to know what has happened to the Indian village we talked about last summer. Most of these people are interested in the idea of an Indian village in this area and think it would be an attraction to tourists and an asset to the economy of the country. Wednesday morning, as we were looking through the win dow watching the fog slowly shift around, we heard the weath erman say the sun was shining at Ashland, but they still had some low fog that was being pushed by a breeze to the north end of the valley, which Is our domain. So we thought maybe we could get a good weatherman in this end who could push it back and we could return Ashland's fog. WW The annual Christmas tree and program will be held Mon day night Dee. 23, 7:30 p.m. at the schoolhousc. Mrs. Everett Brown has charge of the program, consisting of instrumental music, songs and a play by the youngsters. There will be treats for everyone and the eagerly looked for popcorn balls made by Mrs. Frank Myers. w Thought for the day Let us. if we can, get bark from the shadows of war and seek out the way of peace. And if that journey is one thousand miles or even more, let history record that we, in this land, at this time, look the first step. .I.F.K. Gold Hill, Sams Valley Program Planned Monday GOLD HILL - A community children's Christmas program and party will be held Monday, Dec. 23 at 8 p.m. at Gold Hill Grange hall.
