    This item given by a local resident will be printed in serial form in the News Flashes…We will be glad to print interested comments after we finish the item.
    In Washington, the Hershey city (60% chocolate and 40% nuts), nearly one out of five children born last year was born out of wedlock. According to recent survey, 1,600 white and 8,700 colored children were born out of wedlock in North Carolina in 1957. The Florida Welfare Dept. has 68,290 dependent children on its rolls, 18,701 of whom are white and 49,500 Negro. Assistance is paid for the care of 13,476 "illegitimate" Florida children, of which 12,862 are Negroes. (Many of your colored brethren are inclined to be careless about integrating with the opposite sex without benefit of clergy.)
    In the Welfare State, good breeding merely means quantity. Mothers with as many as 10 or 12 children born out of wedlock get as much as $330. Human Events reports that one particularly fertile female in California has propagated a connubial commune (formerly called a family) of 19 human events for which she reportedly gets $11,000 government money this year. This constantly expecting litter is expected to "settle" for more than $250,000 from the taxpayers in the next 10 years. By the time she finds out what's causing all those blessed events she'll be ready for old age assistance.
    Sin does not pay? In the Welfare State, it does.--cont. next week.

HONOR ROLL
    State Board of Health records show that 95 water systems achieved a perfect sampling record during 1959. This does not mean that all of the remaining 350 or so public water supplies are a menace to public health, nor does it necessarily mean that the 95 with perfect records are without defects. It does mean that 95 water works operators undertook to submit the required number of water samples for bacteriological analysis each and every month of the year and achieved their goal of a perfect record for the year.  It is true that not all water works operators have equal opportunities for such a record. Some water systems are better than others--some have better sources, others have better treatment facilities. All have equal opportunity for submitting samples. By far, the greatest obstacle to a perfect record is lack of samples.

Dear Sir:
    It is a source of gratification to us who are charged with the responsibility for public health to note that your public water supply has met accepted bacteriological standards for purity every month during 1959.
    This is a fine record and we trust that careful operation and maintenance will result in its continuation.
Very truly yours,
Richard H. Wilcox, M.D.
State Health Officer

    It will be of interest to the people of Talent that out of 445 cities, there were 95 with perfect records, and Talent was one of them.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
This is a copy of a letter received from Thomas J. Reeder, District Attorney.
    I wish to call your attention to the fact that the 1959 legislative session passed a new law pertaining to minors using tobacco, including the smoking of cigarettes. The law reads as follows:
    ORS 167.245. Any person who sells, barters, trades, gives or in any manner furnishes to any minor under the age of 18 years, for his own consumption, any tobacco, cigars or cigarettes in any form, shall be fined upon conviction not less than $5.00 nor more than $50.
    ORS 167.250. Any minor under the age of 18 years who smokes, uses, or is in possession of any cigar, cigarette or tobacco in any form in any public highway, street, or place, or any proprietor, clerk, assistant or employee of any place of business who permits any minor under 18 years of age to frequent such place of business while such minor is using or smoking any cigar, cigarette or tobacco in any form, shall be punished upon conviction by a fine of not more than $5.00 for each offense, or by imprisonment for not more than two days for each offense.
    This law is somewhat more realistic than the prior laws pertaining to minors and the use of tobacco. The enforcement of this law should eliminate some of the problems we had with said prior laws.
    It is my opinion that we should make every effort to enforce this law. I am aware that it will be a difficult matter and will pose some problems for all of us. I particularly request your cooperation in preventing any students of our public schools under the age of 18 years from smoking on the school grounds and other public places.

LANDMARK BURNS
    The Talent Rural Fire Dept. was called out about 11:45 pm Wednesday night to the old E.K. Anderson house on Colver Road. The house was burning out of control when the fire dept. arrived and the house and contents burned to the ground. Mr. and Mrs. Dick Walsh and family were living in the house, which is owned by Dave Lowry.
    The house was approximately 75 years old and was one of the best preserved specimens of Victorian architecture in the area.
    The house was built by E.K. Anderson, who was one of the original settlers and pioneers of the Talent area. He and his brother, James F., came to the area in 1852 and took up adjoining claims. They were interested in the first flour mill in the county. In 1856, Mr. Anderson married Miss Elizabeth Myer, and about that time built a more pretentious house on his claim, that being in time succeeded by the comfortable farm house which burned Wednesday night.
    The Walshes were awakened by a daughter who told them that her bedroom was afire. The family got out of the house but lost all of their clothes and furniture. The cause of the fire has not been determined.

JULY 25 DEADLINE FOR WORLD WAR II GI LOANS
    About 4 months remain in which World War II veterans may apply for GI home, farm or business loans, S.T. Brannock, Contact Representative, VA Domiciliary, Camp White, said.
    Under the present law, July 25, 1960 is the cutoff date set for World War II veteran participation in the post-war program that has seen more than 5 million World War II veterans take advantage of the GI Bill loan provisions.
    Veterans who submit their applications in sufficient time before the deadline of July 25, 1960 so as to allow the VA to make a commitment, will be allowed an additional year, or until July 25, 1961, in which to have the loan processed and actually closed.
    Brannock pointed out that these dates do not apply to Korean conflict veterans who have until Jan. 31, 1965 to make GI loan applications.

MONDAY NIGHT FIRE DRILL
    A spectacular fire Monday night at the corner of East Main and John St. drew quite a large crowd to watch the old building being destroyed by the Fire Dept. The property recently purchased by Luke Cutburth from E.L. Garland was destroyed purposely to clean up the lot so it could be planted in lawn and improved.
    At one time this corner flourished with a 2-story brick building named the Ames building that housed a large mercantile and hardware store. Also, the Talent Post Office was located in this building. The store was owned by Louis Brown.
    The second story was the meeting place for the Odd Fellows and rooms to rent. A large hall contained a stage, and many plays and dances were held there. After the building was condemned during the depression years, the building was used for a transient camp. Later, after the building was torn down, the property was purchased by Garland, who built a café known as the Buckhorn Café. Later it became a variety store and then a cabinet shop.
    The building was stripped of useful material before the fire was set. The Talent Fire Dept. stood by and kept the fire under control until it burned to the ground.
    Yes, it was a gala Monday night for many, and a few heartaches for one.

STUDENTS LOSE TO FACULTY…
    In a rousing five-inning game, the Talent faculty won from the high school students by too large a score. Pitching for the TF was Mighty Farthing…Catching was a ringer in from the professionals (I think) "Slugger" John Butler. "Big Mike" Jacobs pitched for the THS and Hansen and Skundrick caught. The THS team lead at the end of the first inning, 1 to 0. Then (with luck) and the bases loaded, Slugger Butler loosed a mighty bold into left field. Two runs were scored and after that I lost track. In the last inning the THS team managed to connect with several pitches and scored two or three runs. Tom Burnette tried to stretch a three-bagger into a home run and was counted out at the plate. Anyway, it was a very enjoyable game, and if some of the TF team weren't surprised to find the number of new muscles Thursday, we are, for they really got in there and slugged the ole apple.

HISTORY OF STEARNS CEMETERY, cont.
    Nov. 11, 1862…Neighbors sat up with Emma including Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Wagner, Welborn Beeson, Sr.  At noon, John Robison was running to tell neighbors that Emma was dead. Neighbors went up to dig grave on Grave Hill in Stearns field. Did not get quite done. It is a pity that little Emma should have suffered such a death.
    Nov. 12, 1862…Early I went up and finished the grave, then went up to G. Naylor's to get the coffin, and at half past twelve we marched to the grave. Ira and I (Welborn Beeson), John Mills and John Robison carried the corpse. The mourners followed and then the friends. Quite a melancholy procession. We buried little Emma by the side of her uncle Avery Stearns.

HISTORY OF STEARNS CEMETERY from Welborn Beeson, Sr. Diary, cont.
    June 30, 1866. I went up early and chose a beautiful spot in the Stearn bury ground for my mother's grave.
    July 1, 1866. The neighbors came in from all parts to attend Mother's funeral.
    April 22, 1889. At 11 o'clock, the neighbors were all present to pay the last respects to Father. A very large crowd attended, and we laid Father by the side of Mother after many years of separation.

    Mrs. Ray Feeler and daughters Teresa and Linda spent the week visiting Mrs. Feeler's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Burnette.

YOUTH RECREATION??
    Talent being the 4th largest town in Jackson County should provide some recreation for our youth during the summer months. Phoenix and Jacksonville are doing just that. What has become of the Pee Wee baseball? Every boy enjoys baseball…The baseball suits in the City Hall are collecting dust while kids who'd like to wear them are roaming the streets looking for something to do.
    Why can't something be done in Talent to take care of its youth during the summer? Most parents like to have their kids take part in activities, but what of the volunteer help? The summer is well on its way. Talent has space indoors and out for youth activities. Why let it go to waste? If something is to be done for the kids, let's do it now and not sit back and say "Let George do it." Why don't YOU do something.

DAMSEL IN DISTRESS
    A lovely lady was traveling down the pike on her way to Ashland when her car stopped and she remembered that she was supposed to buy gas. She called a gal friend who drove to the rescue with gas. The lady poured the liquid in her tank and saved a little to prime the carburetor when what was her amazement upon lifting the hood to discover that that was the gadget she could not find…
    Her gal friend offered various & sundry bits of advice for locating the item but to no avail. The car finally cooperated by starting, and when the maiden told her husband her adventures he remarked that he had taken off the carburetor last summer, which remark failed to touch his wife's sense of humor.  THE END.

EXCERPTS OF LETTER FROM PHOENIX SCHOOL DIST. #4
To Rex Putnam, Supt., Salem, Ore.
   We, as School Directors of Phoenix School Dist. 4, wish to protest the action of the Jackson County Reorganization Committee taken on July 20, 1960 of approving transfer to the Medford School Dist. #549C of a portion of our newly consolidated district containing 63 pupils and residential property totaling approximately $500,000.00 assessed valuation.…
    The property in question which the Reorganization Committee approved for transfer out of our district also includes the Rogue Valley Manor, about a $5,000,000.00 structure with a potential $1,500,000.00 assessed valuation.
    We feel that the Jackson County Reorganization Committee is not representative of Jackson Co., being composed of four members from the City of Medford with no representation whatsoever from the 3 districts or that portion of the County south of Medford, and the decision reached was based on political consideration by the majority urban members rather than careful and mature consideration of the entire problem involved.…
    Also, at the time of consolidation, the per-pupil wealth of the Phoenix Dist. was $4,298; the Talent Dist. $2,487. After consolidation [of] the two districts, we emerged with a per-pupil wealth of $3,662.81. At this time, the per-pupil wealth of the Medford Dist. was $4,432.00.…
    We feel this transfer of property violates #2 & #4 of the four specific objectives of school reorganization.…
    Undoubtedly of particular interest to you are the statewide implications of the gradual absorption of a newly created administrative district. The Phoenix-Talent combined district, currently a sound economic system, is sandwiched between two large school systems--Ashland and Medford. Inescapably, our district borders on the two cities. As the cities grow, must our already small but sound district always shrink? If so, the same policy must be applied to all other small districts in the state which are neighbors of big school districts and big communities.
    This complete letter is in our files and may be read by anyone interested.

PUBLIC NOTICES

CAMPFIRE GIRLS RETURN
    Thirty-four Campfire Girls and Bluebirds returned home Sunday, July 24, after spending 9 days at Camp Ya-Ie-Wah-Noah at Wagner Creek Forks.
    Twenty Campfire girls and 3 councilors spent one night at Wagner Gap and then hiked down to the Retort and cooked their breakfast. They spent the day playing in the Applegate and at dusk hiked back to the Gap; ate their supper, picked up their sleeping bags and so back to camp, arriving about 10 pm.
   The girls took several short nature hikes, found time to do crafts (they made goonies, ribbon corsages, mats and situpons), cooked their meals, kept the camp clean and had a lot of fun.
    Girls attended from Talent, Ashland, Medford and Klamath Falls. There were 5 councilors and 3 Jr. councilors.  Best camper award was won by Caroline Beeson and Most Improved Camper by Becky Maxson.  Over 100 guests signed the guest book during the nine days.
    Awards were presented Saturday evening in a beautiful ceremonial, opening with a Torchbearer lighting the fire and closing with the launching of wish boats in the creek. The camp was decorated for the ceremonial with totem poles showing the girls' symbols and patio lights along the paths to light the trails throughout the area. Dress-up night was held Friday evening. Pigtail and backwards day was Thursday. We wish to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their help and their many fine treats while we were at camp…CAMPFIRE GIRLS

ADJUST SPEED TO CONDITIONS
    The non-conformist driver who picks his own speed regardless of traffic conditions is a menace to all others on the road, Chief Young said today.  The driver who goes too fast causes accidents, Young said. And the driver who goes too slow contributes to traffic congestion, which in turn increases the possibility of accidents on crowded city streets and heavily traveled highways.
    Both the speedy and the pokey driver need to adjust their speed to traffic conditions. A driver who adjusts his speed to traffic conditions is one who keeps pace with the flow of traffic. Ideally, if all drivers followed this practice, there would be little need for anyone to pass other vehicles and our accident rate would plummet.
    There's a place for the nonconformist in our society, Young concluded, but that place isn't on our streets and highways, where conformity is a virtue.

LIBRARY NEEDS NEW SHELVES
    The Talent Library would be able to have many more books for the enjoyment of Talent readers if they had shelf room, according to Mrs. Archie Estes, Talent Librarian.
    The library books rotate, but because of the increased number of library users this year over last year, many types of books are in short supply. With shelves on only one side of the library now, it would be very nice if the City Council could built matching shelves on the opposite wall, practically doubling book space.
    Mrs. Estes wishes Medford and Ashland library users to know that it is now possible to return books for those libraries to the Talent library, sometimes saving a trip to town. The Talent Library is open every day except Thursdays and Sundays.

MANOR OFFICIAL THREATENS IN PHOENIX SCHOOL DISPUTE
Boundary Board Promises Action 'In Short Time'
    Blunt political pressure was threatened Aug. 11 by the Rogue Valley Manor in an effort to force Jackson Co. School Boundary Board to allow that portion of the Phoenix-Talent school district containing the manor to secede and become a part of the Medford district.
    The boundary board took no action on the matter at the meeting but indicated that a decision would be made within "a short time" and definitely before school starts next month.
    The display of political power was made as more than 175 persons jammed the county courthouse auditorium to argue for and against the plan which would remove an estimated 55 school children from Dist. #4 as well as property with an assessed valuation of $500,000.
    Walter Higgins, executive director of The Manor, declared, "We will wave a big stick with 345 votes at the manor and we want to be a part of Medford. We have told our people they were moving to Medford, not Phoenix, and we want it that way."
    Higgins was chided by Lyn Newbry, Phoenix-Talent school board member, who said, "Tonight we have heard from a man who doesn't want to pay taxes, but wants all the advantages of a taxpayer. If Medford keeps taking away pieces and bits of our district, we will soon lose the ability to provide for our school children."

ADJUSTING TO HIGHWAY DRIVING
    Chief of Police Young today reminded drivers that posted speeds are safe speeds only under favorable conditions.
    "Regardless of posted speeds, the driver must always adjust his speed to the existing conditions of the road, weather, traffic and the driver's own vehicle," Young said.
    The driver must also take into account his own physical condition and his experience in high speed driving in selecting his maximum safe driving speed.
    Drivers who drive mainly in city traffic may be incapable of safely handling vehicles at open road speeds because they are simply not familiar with the rapidity with which traffic conditions change at high speed.
    Such drivers are smart if they hold their speed down to their own capabilities.
    When you get on the open road, give yourself an opportunity to get used to the different driving conditions before you begin to increase your cruising speed, and be extra cautious about your ability to react to changing traffic conditions ahead of you, Young concluded.

SCHOOL TO OPEN SEPT. 12

Other grades will be transported direct to the Phoenix and Talent grade schools.

Book usage fee of $7 is required since a state law doesn't permit purchase of high school texts by the school dist. Towel fee also required. Students wishing to purchase a school yearbook may reserve a copy at this time by paying $4 additional.

CHECK SPEEDOMETER FREQUENTLY
   Have you ever glanced at your speedometer and found to your surprise you were driving 10-15 or 20 mph faster than you had thought?
    Such occurrences are not uncommon to most drivers, according to Chief of Police Young. In fact, it's referred to as "velocitization virus" which arises from the tendency of drivers to lose touch with the speed at which they are traveling.
    Scientific studies have shown that over a long period of time, drivers tend to increase their speeds without realizing it. The longer a vehicle is in motion, the more accustomed the driver becomes to the speed at which he is moving.
    To keep up the feeling of movement, he begins unconsciously to increase his speed until he is soon traveling faster than he should or than he really wants to.

STOP FOR SCHOOL BUSES
    A school bus stopped along the road should mean one thing to a motorist--caution.
    With so many of these vehicles back on the road this time of year, Talent Chief of Police Young is reminding drivers of their responsibilities towards school buses and their passengers.
    The Chief points out that the law calls for a motorist approaching a school bus loading or unloading children at the side of a two-lane road to stop until the way is clear. If the bus is on the opposite side of a road that has more than two lanes, a motorist may proceed cautiously after slowing and being sure the way is clear.
    When approaching a halted school bus from the rear, a stop is required. If no children are leaving the bus or crossing the highway, a driver then may pass the bus.
    School bus drivers, the Chief says, will turn off flashing lights to indicate to drivers when the way is clear for them to proceed.
    In case of the few buses still using the stop arm, the arm is withdrawn to show that the way is clear.

    So the 3 ladies decided that they would take their beans, rolls, salad and pie and visit the absent members, which was a good thought. But first they braced themselves with a good cup of coffee at Jo's Café, and started out.

COMMUNICATIONS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
    What sort of an education system do we have in Talent? Should our junior high girls really be graded in P.E. according to what their mothers did or did not do?
    Last spring the then sixth grade girls were told to have ready for this year a special uniform for P.E. which would be available at certain stores in Medford. The shirt and shorts were to be identified by each girl's name embroidered on the garments. No mention was made as to any particular spot. We appreciated this advance notice.
    After school had started, a notice was sent home informing us the name was only to be at certain places. Most of the "Moms" had dutifully purchased uniforms and embroidered them early, but since we weren't mind readers, our girls will flunk with a capital "F" if we do not drop everything, ignore our house and children and embroider again according to teacher's latest whim…tonight, if not sooner.
    Please, Mrs. Teacher, which cuff? We really don't have time to do it three times.
HELLO NEIGHBORS
    We've moved to Talent Junction, the hub of a fast-growing area. Our convenient location will enable us to better serve you--either buying or selling. Please stop, let's get acquainted. Our salesmen, George Nerton, KE 5-1741 and Frank Christian, KE 5-1389, are each well acquainted with real estate in this vicinity. Also notary public and photocopying service. For service choose the Red Arrow Realty, Roy H. Maudlin, Realtor. KE 5-1752. Evening calls welcome.

(PE uniforms, continued)
    And, shall we do their homework too? On second thought, why don't you teach embroidery with P.E. and solve everything?
    P.S. THANK YOU Teacher, for letting our daughters have another week before she gets her "F." I really haven't another thing to do this weekend. I'll go out first thing in the morning and tell the tomato and melons not to ripen between Friday and Monday.

INTRUDER SHOT!
    Excitement ran high on S. 1st Street Sat. when Eddie Heims, acting policeman, was called from his home to exterminate an intruder. Eddie came with a rush and a dash, hopped out of the car, took one look, put his rifle to his manly shoulder and bang! The intruder got up and slowly, surely went up First Street with Eddie right behind him. The large crowd yelled and screamed to kill him. Then another bang--the intruder fell to the ground.
    Eddie ran up and grabbed him, but he wasn't dead. Not by a long shot, he didn't say a word but rolled his eyes and bit Eddie on the finger. Eddie then tried to choke him to death but the harder he squeezed the more alive he became. Finally, in one last desperate struggle, Eddie placed the gun to his head and fired. He measured about 30 inches from tip to tip. Yes, he was a big chicken hawk, with lots of fire and vinegar. Eddie became a hero to all the frightened chickens in the neighborhood.

HUNTERS USE CARE IN TRAFFIC
    With deer hunting season scheduled to open this weekend (Oct. 1) Chief of Police Young reminded hunters in Talent that not all the hazards await them in favored hunting areas.
    The hazards hunters encounter en route to these areas, he said, cannot be countered by wearing a red hat. As a result, Oregon records several traffic deaths each year involving would-be hunters.
    "People who attempt to drive all night Friday, after working all day, in order to be ready to start firing at sunup Saturday are just asking for trouble," Chief Young said.
    "In the first place, they're usually not thinking about their driving," he continued. "In addition, their reactions to traffic are slowed by fatigue."
    "Add the fact that some may be driving too fast or may have a few drinks en route and you have all the ingredients for an accident," he added.
    To get home safely with a deer, he concluded, better stay alert on the highways as well as in the woods.

LIONS BREAKFAST SERVED
    The Talent Lions breakfast was a very successful affair Sunday, with the usual all you can eat for a buck. 336 were served the lovely breakfast of hotcakes, ham, sausage and eggs.

AN INVITATION TO VISIT LIBRARY
    Talent Public Library has some changes in appearance these days. I would like to extend an invitation to everyone to come in and see the new shelves and magazine rack which the City Council has been busy building and placing.

The added space will house twice as many books as we now have, and a group of adjustable shelves have been arranged to take care of the two sets of encyclopedias which have never had a real home before. Now magazines may be selected with ease since the new set of shelves made especially for them is very handy.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
    Oct. 5, 1960
    Dear Editor: I must have been almost the last to learn I was to flunk the girls in my PE classes if their names were not embroidered on their clothes in the designated places. Are there honestly some parents that believe a teacher would be that unreasonable? If so, a telephone call to our principal or to me would have been most welcome and could possibly have saved one busy mother the time it took her to write to you.
    There is a total of 120 girls in the four PE classes and two girls must share one basket. We have no facilities for checking or locking the baskets, so the girls could very easily wear someone else's clothes unless the name is where I can see it and check. The girls wear their shirts outside so their name must be on the short hem or cuff. It doesn't matter which cuff. This requirement was not a whim but was made to help the parents protect their investment of $8.00 or more. From experience, I know girls will wear someone else's gym clothes if theirs are forgotten or misplaced.
    All classes were given one week to meet this requirement and were told if it was not done within that time it would bring their grade down. This is the only way I can get the students to realize their names must be on and in the designated places.
    This letter from Mrs. Ann Christlieb will be continued next week.

BEWARE OF SUMMER ICE
    It may be a hot day, but if it rains, watch out for ice on the road. A rainstorm coming after a dry summer means moisture combines with the dust and oil on the road to make conditions mighty slippery. That means "summer ice." When you run into these conditions, remember to slow down and use the same driving techniques you use on winter ice, warns M.W. Young of the Talent Police Department.

    In a speech delivered to members of the Jackson County Central Committee, legislative candidate John R. Dellenback challenged the Democratic legislative incumbent to clarify his position on two issues. Ballot Measure 14, he stated, "Argument is made that it lowers tax rates. In truth, it was intended to increase state tax revenues and will mean an increase in Oregon income tax for most taxpayers." Dellenback challenged the Democratic incumbent to make clear his stand on this, since it was passed under his leadership. The other issue is [the] O&C timberland matter as an issue directly affecting the property tax paid by Jackson County residents.

    Henry Marty of Terreton, Idaho, is paying an extended visit with his sister, Mae Lowe.

    80 deer have been brought into the Valley Lockers for cutting and wrapping.

    WE FOUND AN ITEM ADVERTISED IN a nationally advertised magazine which we think applies to this year especially…both because it's an election year and this seems a good, good joke for a candidate to send to his opponent and also because of the local dog issue since the wrong end of the dog is muzzled by present law…It is a SOOPER DOOPER POOPER SCOOPER…this is a conversational and laughter creator but serves as the finest tool available for the unpleasant job of cleaning up after pets and numerous other uses.  SOOPER DOOPER POOPER SCOOPER is boldly imprinted on both handles…We will be glad to order this item for you for only $5.00…Send cash, check or money order to Talent News Flashes and allow 2 weeks for delivery….We know too where you can get a box of 16 filet mignon steaks 1¼" thick for $33.00, Railway express prepaid….and suits for big men, sizes 46 to 70.   WELL, THAT'S OUR PERUSAL OF THE GIFT ITEMS FOR THE WEEK….

    While collecting ads Wednesday afternoon, we were interested to hear one Talent businessman accuse another of stealing an apple from a local orchardists' car. The first man said if he'd thought of it, he'd have taken one for himself and the second man denied that he filched the apple in the first place, claiming to have brought it from home to munch in the middle of the afternoon. So we don't know whether CRIME WAS OUGHT OR NOT…Maybe crime just doesn't pay or maybe it was all a crazy mixed-up mistake….Anyway, no one offered us an apple…YE EDITOR has been attending all kinds of coffees, teas, etc. for Republicans and Democrats, hearing both sides of all kinds of questions. Attend the Bellview Grange Candidates' night Oct. 21st. You'll learn something, if it's only who is running.

BICYCLE SAFETY
    This is M.W. Young of the Talent Police Dept. with a reminder for bicyclists. Someday you probably want to drive an automobile. And there's no better way to learn safe, legal driving than by practicing it as a bicyclist. Keep to the right, give proper hand signals so drivers know what you're going to do. Respect traffic lights and signs. To learn more about good bike riding, write for a copy of Fun on a Bike to the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles, Salem, Oregon.

    DOG CONTROL MEASURE will again appear on the ballot. Worded exactly as it was this spring. So here it is:
    FOR DOGS RUNNING AT LARGE--YES
    FOR DOGS RUNNING AT LARGE--NO
    So if you want the dogs tied you vote no and if you want the dogs untied and with no muzzle you vote Yes, and the way this law is written up is ridiculous.

This was later extended since two mothers called me requesting additional time and I felt it only fair to give everyone an extra week.
    The statement was made that most mothers had embroidered the uniform before school started and consequently had them in the wrong place. My records for the first week of school show eight girls had their names in the wrong place on their shorts. The shirts were all right. To those eight mothers, I apologize for causing them extra work. I am happy the other one hundred twelve waited.

    WILL THE lady who got on the bus Tuesday and left a tan cocker spaniel please call Harley Howell KE 5-2754.

TO RUN AT LARGE OR NOT TO RUN AT LARGE--
THAT IS THE DOGGY QUESTION
    According to County Clerk Madden, the answer is if you want to defeat this measure and want dogs to run at large, vote YES.
    Talent has their own dog control law and actually does not need a control law. Anyway, this measure is stupid because if you muzzle your dog it can still run at large.

DOGS & CATS SHOULD BE INOCULATED
    All Jackson County dogs and cats should be inoculated for rabies as soon as possible, local veterinarians are advising. Veterinarians have agreed to reduce their fees so an adequate program can be started here. It is particularly important to inoculate hunting dogs now because it takes 30 days for the dogs to develop immunity. A rabid bat was found in downtown Medford about 2 weeks ago. WARNING Anyone discovering a bat or any other animal which appears sick DO NOT TOUCH it but call the public health department.

    MARK BOYDEN, 36, was born in the Rogue River Valley, attended the Medford public schools, served with the Armored Infantry in the European Theater in World War II, graduated in Civil Engineering from Oregon State College and resides in Medford with his wife and two children. Since receiving his professional surveyor's license in 1951, Mark Boyden has gained an excellent reputation practicing exclusively in Jackson County.

DUTIES OF THE COUNTY SURVEYOR
    The County Surveyor is custodian of all official surveying records, which are the basis for the location of every parcel of real estate in Jackson County.
    If the County Surveyor, through sound practices and knowledge, can furnish the public with permanent corner and boundary locations that are accurately and legally established, the practicing land surveyor can locate property boundaries with less cost to his client.
    The County Surveyor is to preserve and perpetuate the locations of our valuable governmental landmarks.
    The County Surveyor must perform these and many other duties conscientiously, impartially and economically, within the part-time salary allotted for this position.

FACTS ABOUT THE JACKSON COUNTY SURVEYOR'S OFFICE:
    The Jackson County Surveyor's office has always been a part-time job. This practice is true not only for Jackson County, but for nearly all of the other Oregon counties as well. This position pays only $1,980.00 a year. To supplement his livelihood, the County Surveyor is expected to do private work, since to hire a full-time man for a part-time job would considerably increase the Surveyor's budget.
    This system has been especially favorable for Jackson County in that the office has attracted the finest surveying talent in the surveying profession at a minimum cost to the taxpayer.
    The Jackson County Surveyor has always made public all surveys made for the county by past County Surveyors or their deputies, and all surveys filed with the County Surveyor as required by law.
    MARK BOYDEN has been a staff member of the Jackson County Surveyor's office for more than 10 years, and the Chief Deputy for 5 years. He has been in charge of all field surveys made by the County Surveyor's office and has a fine record for reliability and accuracy. He has performed his duties with impartial fairness to all of the citizens of Jackson County, having uppermost in his mind the improvement of surveying standards and practices in this area.

MARK BOYDEN, IF ELECTED AS YOUR NEXT COUNTY SURVEYOR, WILL WORK FOR THE FOLLOWING:
    1. Maintain the reliability and accuracy of the work accomplished by the County Surveyor's office.
    2. Accelerate the program of perpetuating our valuable governmental landmarks, more effectively marking these valuable corner locations to prevent their destruction.
    3. Follow a vigorous program of public education of the law which required any registered surveyor or engineer establishing a property corner to file a map and field notes in the County Surveyor's office within 30 days after completion of the work. This law, enacted for protection of the public, is effective only when the public is informed. Accordingly, a postcard will be sent directly to the landowner informing him the survey has been filed. Additional methods of cooperative effort will be made to ensure strict compliance with the state law for the protection of the taxpayer.
    4. To encourage those with surveying problems to feel free to call on the County Surveyor for consultation and advice.
    5. Continue to cooperate with all who utilize the information and facilities of this office for the public good.

TALENT CITY OFFICIALS
    Wayne Reichstein, Mayor and Councilmen Lee Boyd, John Butler, Leo Jacobs, Glen Mosser, Earl Schleper and Jerry Stevens were elected Tuesday. They were unopposed.
    We have been asked by a number of citizens about the Talent ticket that was voted on Tuesday.
    To be honest with the public, we knew nothing about the Talent offices as we were not notified of such election.
    But, as everyone knows, it is hard to get anyone to serve on the council, as this job is a thankless one. But we do feel that a ticket should be published somewhere before election and the fact that there is a deadline for nominations to be met might stir up a little interest if it were published.

NEW CURBING

For something old, she wore a pearl brooch which belonged to her grandmother.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the People of Oregon:
    Only those of us who have observed or worked with Monroe Sweetland during his many years of service to the state can fully appreciate his loyalty and dedication in representing the citizens of Oregon.
    We are appalled at the savage and unprincipled tactics used by a small segment of the opposition near the close of the recent campaign. Not only did this result in Monroe's defeat at the polls but it has unjustly caused his family untold heartache and suffering.
    Senator Sweetland will continue, of course, his dedicated service to the people of Oregon in our State Senate as a spokesman for our county, but we wanted to reaffirm our confidence in Monroe.
    Sincerely,

TALENT SHOULD BE PROUD
    The people of Talent should be proud to have our small village represented by Frank and Phyllis at Washington, D.C. on Jan. 20th. It is very seldom that one is selected from small towns, usually they come from the larger cities.
    Talent has had quite a reputation this past year as state office holders of organizations.
    Mrs. Elfa Long is State District Chairman for Southern Oregon for the Garden Club.
    Mrs. Frank Christian is State President of the Lions Auxiliary.
    Mrs. Ward, who is a lobbyist in Washington, D.C. but will be unable to attend the inauguration because she will have to be in Washington later.

PHOENIX HIGH SCHOOL TO USE TEACHER AIDES
    Use of qualified personnel to act as English theme readers has been recently approved by the Phoenix School Board. This program, according to E.R. James, Superintendent, will go into effect immediately, and will provide a reader for each full time English teacher in the Phoenix High School.
    The regular teachers will assign weekly themes to all high school students. About half of these will be corrected and evaluated by the teacher aides, and the other half by the regular English teacher. The themes will then be returned to the students for correction under the supervision of the regular teacher.
    The purpose of the program is to improve the quality and increase the writing output of every high school student, with all themes being graded for content, usage, punctuation, grammar, spelling, and style, and then returned to the student for correction or rewriting.
    Readers for this program have been made available through the efforts of Dr. Arthur Kreisman, Chairman of the Humanities Division at Southern Oregon College. A group of over 50 qualified aides were selected from 300 applicants on the basis of comprehensive and exacting tests, as well as personal interviews administered by Dr. Kreisman and his staff. These readers are qualified for use by the schools of the area who may desire to employ them for this purpose.
    Use of this means for improving the writing ability of high school students has been successfully pursued in a number of schools in the country in recent months.

CAROLING

TALENT HOME BURNS, FAMILY ESCAPES
    A mother and her 3 children escaped from a flaming wood frame house Tuesday night on Yank Gulch Rd., and saw their home burn to the ground with all their possessions.
    Mrs. Theodore Thomas Noonchester and her 3 children, ages 1, 2 and 4 years, awoke to find their house in flames. Through quick thinking, the mother was able to get the family out of the house without harm.
    A neighbor, John Morse, saw the flaming house and called the Talent Volunteer Fire Dept. The house was completely enflamed when the fire dept. arrived. The father was notified at Rogue River, where he was working. The Noonchester family has moved into Mrs. Noonchester's mother's home in Phoenix, Jackson Co. sheriff's officers said.
    Anyone wishing to donate items to this family may leave items at The Silver Bell Gift Shop or the Talent City Hall and they will be delivered to the family. The two youngest children are boys and the older one a girl.

FOG CAUSES LATE JUDGING
    Because of the fog, the outdoor lighting was judged Wednesday night. First place winner was the Lee Boyd home display; 2nd place, the Frank Christian home and 3rd place, Frank Van Dyke. Eddie Hiaakia had a very nice display at the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Switzer and was a runner-up for 3rd place. He had a very nice display for the first year of outdoor lighting. Several displays were not on on Wednesday night. Judges were Bill Young, Dean Dorman, Mae Lowe and Jo Howell.

CITY TREE LIGHTS DAMAGED
    The tree lights on the Christmas tree on the City Hall lawn had to be turned off before Christmas because of damage done by 3 boys who slipped away in the fog after pulling one string of lights to the ground and breaking many of the bulbs. The Lions worked hard to place the lights as well as repairing the string and buying new bulbs for the Federated Women's Club. We wonder sometimes if parents really know what their kids are doing and where they go. It took the Lions 2 days to get the tree ready and maybe 30 minutes for the boys to destroy the whole display.
