Tuesday was our worst day for fog so far this winter. It
was so dense that our milkman delivered the milk on fool.

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.

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.

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.

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.
