HELP YOUR RURAL CARRIER DURING BAD WINTER WEATHER
    This is an appeal to postal customers on rural routes to help their rural carriers make mail deliveries during bad winter weather.
    The Talent Post Office has one rural route 49 miles in length and covering all the area surrounding the city.
    These points are of particular concern: 1. Approaches to rural mail boxes must be kept open by customers. 2. Obstructions to delivery of mail on rural routes should be removed or minimized to the fullest possible extent. Where rural boxes pose a problem, the carrier may leave Form 4056, "Your Mailbox Needs Attention," a notice to keep box approaches clear by promptly removing all obstructions, including snow, which may make mail delivery difficult or impossible.
    Unless approaches are cleared, it may be necessary to temporarily withhold delivery of mail. Rural carriers are not required to perform service on foot when roads cannot be traveled with vehicles normally used, but they are expected to make every reasonable effort to serve as many of their patrons as possible without physical exertion or added financial cost.
    If excessive detours are necessary to effect delivery of mail, customers should temporarily relocate their boxes on the new line of travel, arrange to receive their mail through other patrons' boxes, or make other arrangements for their mail until travel on the roads affected can be resumed.


    Before the new Talent city council members received the oath of office Tuesday night, members of the outgoing council voted to refuse Jim Walker's application for renewal of a license for a wrecking yard behind his 2nd hand car lot on U.S. 99.
    Last fall, Walker's application was signed by city officials who thought the application applied to having a wrecker tow truck, instead of which the application was for a wrecking yard permit as well as a used car lot. When residents of the adjacent area objected, the original approval was withdrawn and the council took the matter under study.
    Granville Brittsan was sworn in as Talent mayor and John Tompkins, Ralph Conner and John Seymour were seated as members of the council.
   F.W. Gilbreath was elected chairman of the council and mayor Brittsan appointed a committee composed of Lucky Gilbreath, George Gleim and John Seymour to draw up written rules governing the use of the City Hall.
    No action was taken on a franchise request of the Ashland Sanitary Service.
    A special meeting will be held next Tuesday.

FARM HOME HAZARD REPORTED
    Deputy State Fire Marshal William Roble told the Jackson County Farm Home has been without adequate fire fighting water for an indefinite period of time.
    Roble said he discovered a short time ago that a 2-inch pipeline supposedly connected to a standpipe had been capped and abandoned. He said he was bringing this development to the attention of the county court and is urging immediate action to correct this deficiency.
    Without the line functioning properly, the Talent Rural Fire Dist. truck would have to leave a fire at the farm home to refill its tanks, Roble pointed out. The fire might be under control at that point but could get out of control while the truck was being refilled, he said.
    Roble inspected the farm home on Oct. 26 and Nov. 30. When he checked the water line recently he discovered the malfunction.
    The water tank at the farm home apparently was damaged by the Columbus Day storm in 1962 and was never repaired.

    Here it is the Rogue Valley Art Association, Mr. Gary Hendrix, Medford, Chairman.

COUNCIL ADVISED TO WAIT BEFORE EXPANDING SEWER TREATMENT PLANT
    Talent city council members were advised Tuesday night to expand sewage extension lines to recently annexed areas but to wait before renovating or remodeling the present sewage treatment plant.
    Sidney Laswell, a representative of Cornell, Howland, Hayes and Merryfield, now working on a plan for a countywide sewage disposal system (to be financed mostly by U.S. government according to mayor Brittsan) is put into effect, Talent could not justify the expenditure of the cost of remodeling work on the present plant which he said would cost "about as much" as the installation of a new plant.
    Laswell said the countywide plan calls for the installation of one or more centralized sewage disposal plants and would eliminate the need of most old plants including the one at Talent.
    He said the state sanitary authorities would not push remodeling of small older systems until the countywide system is established, which would take from one to four years.
    When questioned, he agreed that Bear Creek would suffer contamination during this one- to four-year period.
    In other business, the council passed an ordinance on safety standards for the installation of gas lines and equipment which included that those installing gas must pass a test to get a license, post a $5,000 performance bond, show liability insurance; pass inspection, follow safety standards, be liable for penalties if not up to standard and covers the fact that city officers are not liable.
    Discussed raising the dam on Wagner Creek for the water plant, raising the bridge to the dam by two feet. Paper work on dam done to get engineers' report on bridge. Phil White, Western States Fire Apparatus, discussed types of fire trucks. City considering purchase of new truck with tank. Decided to enforce Ordinance #97 concerning removal of livestock from within city limits. The Chief of Police is to notify Mr. Black to remove his horses from within town to someplace outside the city limits.

PRELIMINARY HEARING SCHOOL BUDGET
    The preliminary hearing to present the school budget to the budget committee and public was held at PHS cafeteria on Feb. 8. It was presented by budget officer Supt. Ernest James.
    The budget committee will be looking the budget over and cutting down on some requests, maybe raising others…the budget asks for $939,039.
    The next public meeting will be held Tuesday, Feb. 23.
    The amount to be raised by taxation was raised from $774,055 to $780,774 because tax receipts are expected to increase and because of certain tax delinquency that had to be paid out of current receipts.
    Of course, if the delinquent taxes were paid up it would reduce the estimate to be raised substantially.
    Having attended the preliminary hearing, there are certain items that I'm, as the sayin' goes, agin'.
    A budget of close to $1,000,000 seems pretty high to me.
    My advice: attend the budget meeting Feb. 23 and decide for yourself.

Maybe all businesses give an automatic $200 raise to all employees, not floor help, I don't know.

A SUGGESTION TO TALENT COUNCIL
    Since the State Sanitary Comm. are not going to quote push…the building of additional sewer disposal facilities during the interim 1 to 4 years that the county-wide system is going to be brought in, we have a suggestion to save money. South Talent is bringing in about 100 sewer connections…it is rumored 250 new homes will be built in the town, forecasting 350 new sewer connections, close to double the number now being cared for by our inadequate facilities.
    Why  not put this small antiquated system up for sale and let all the sewage run down Bear Creek for the next 4 years. Is twice as much sewage going to do any more damage to the dreamy bridle path from Tolo to Ashland?
    When we get the sewer disposal unit out of the way, it would require less work from our sewer and water Supt. and might even make it possible for the town to do away with paying an extra man.
    I'm sure the individuals, committees and groups who have worked so hard for the past 10 years to CLEAN UP BEAR CREEK are delighted to hear that the state sanitary comm. will now look over the sewage dumped in Bear Creek and if they lift their heads high enough they may not smell it either.
    Of course, if an individual dumped their sewage in the creek during the 1- to 4-year period, I imagine he would still be fined. It seems to make a difference if you spell public with a small or large P.

    Dear Sirs,
    According to the Mail Tribune, quote, "A measure which would exempt certain retirement homes from all property taxes was being prepared for introduction by Al Flegal, D-Roseburg.
    We wish to object to this property being placed in this category. We realize that residents of the Manor are not responsible for this situation, but we also realize that many residents who receive Social Security checks ranging from $39 up are paying their share of county taxes whether through direct taxes or by paying rent.
    We understand that there is a variety store in the bldg. If the property pays no taxes, is this not preferential treatment for the owner since other businesses are paying their share of taxes. The fact that the residents of the Manor have no children and so can have no interest in the schools which the taxes support. We're sure this is true. I have no children presently in school. Neither do many people on Social Security or retired as well as many of us not yet on that list but headed that way.
    I'm sure the Manor is quote, "a dream come true" for many of the residents.  It would be for us but we do not have the money to enter the dream world, so why should we be penalized by paying taxes while they are in Heaven without taxes.

    Fire Chief Lee Boyd submitted specifications for the purchase of a new fire truck and asked for repairs on the truck now in service.
    It was suggested that all City employees respond to daytime fire calls, especially during the summer months when there is a shortage of volunteers.
    Mr. and Mrs. Black asked City officials if they might have until April 1 to remove horses from town as the property they have purchased outside of town will be available to them then. City allowed them the additional time.

Mrs. Mae Lowe,
    Your recent letter concerning possible tax exemption of the Rogue Valley Manor and similar institutions highlights many of my own thoughts on the subject. I do not favor exempting such properties. I do not agree with arguments which are made that these homes should be exempt from school taxes because the residents have no children in school. Many elderly people no longer have children in school and furthermore very few home owners pay sufficient property taxes while their children are in school to cover the cost of educating their own children. Unless the relief is to be given as a matter of welfare, I think all of us should continue to pay property taxes after our children leave school.
    The argument that the manors should be relieved from taxation because they attract people into the state is also fallacious in my opinion. The same argument could be made with reference to new business establishments in the state, and I do not favor tax exemption on new businesses. It does not seem to me to be important whether the Manor residents pay taxes directly or through the medium of having the Manor pay them. The exemption of one property from taxation imposes an additional burden on other taxable property.
    In recent weeks, I have made an intensive study of the situation, including conferences with tax experts and the study of information which, while not confidential, has not been made generally available. Among the things I have learned [is] that the Manor is appraised for tax purposes at approximately 1½ times the appraised value of the Sheraton Hotel in Portland. One of the reasons for this is that the Sheraton Hotel is entitled to be appraised on a basis which is not applicable to the Manor. I have also learned that of the 9 somewhat similar institutions presently in existence in Oregon, the Rogue Valley Manor has the highest assessed valuation, being assessed at approximately $400,000 more than the Terwilliger Plaza in Portland, and approximately $260,000 more than the Willamette View Manor in Milwaukie. Both of these institutions are bigger than the Rogue Valley Manor. The amount of taxes assessed against the Rogue Valley Manor per living unit is more than twice the assessment against the Terwilliger Plaza and almost twice as much as that assessed against the Willamette View Manor. The taxes are almost 3 times as much per unit at the Rogue Valley Manor as they are against the Capitol Manor in West Salem, which is newer.
    I am unable to explain these variations, but it does seem to me that this result indicates the necessity for a close legislative study of the method of appraisal now…cont.

Branchfield letter, cont.
required by our law. We should make certain that residents of the Manor are receiving the equality of treatment that all other taxpayers demand and are entitled to.
    Several of the apartments in the Manor represent true charity since they are provided to needy retired ministers without charge. A portion of the Manor is used for hospital purposes, and if that part were by itself, it would be exempt under existing law. The chapel would be exempt as a church if it were separate. These portions of the Manor certainly do not add up to an entitlement to exemption but they do indicate that some deviations exist between the Manor and a private home. I am hopeful that the present session of the legislature will be able to work out a solution which will be fair to the residents of the Manor and to the remaining taxpayers of the county.

Dear Mae:
    Thank you for the copy of your open letter to various State Representatives.
    Please have no concern about how I feel on Al Flegal's bill regarding an exemption for the Manor.
    I am opposed to the bill. If the bill survives the Senate in its present form, I will vote against it and fight it all the way.
    It seems to me that there is no more [omission] for a complete exemption for them than there is for any other person living under like circumstances.
    I do not expect that this bill will survive the Senate in its present form, but if it does, I will not change my  mind.
    Thank you for your encouragement, and I hope that copies of the open letter have been sent to the other Jackson County Representatives.

EDITOR'S NOTE
    We did send copies of the open letter to all of our State Representatives, and we received these two letters from Rep. Edward Branchfield and James Redden. Representative John Dellenback did not send us a letter giving his stand on the subject.

    Two city officials, former mayor Wayne Reichstein and City Recorder, Mrs. Virginia Gleim, are being sued by Jim Walker of Jim's Used Cars, U.S. 99 South, for an amount of slightly more than $1900.
    The situation dates back to last fall when an application for wrecker service was sent to the Recorder's office by Walker. Reichstein and Mrs. Gleim signed the application, believing it was an application for wrecker or tow truck business.
    The application was then sent to state officials by Walker and he received a license to operate a wrecking yard.
    In October, several neighbors in the area noticed that Walker was building a fence around his property and they came before the council with the information that Walker was building a wrecking yard.
    The council discussed the matter and decided the application had not been valid because it had not been brought before the council as a whole. The council then refused to sign Walker's application for a renewal of the license.
    Walker's suit is based on his contention that he spent more than $1,900 to erect the fence on his property.
    The Talent city council voted Tuesday night to defend the former mayor and present Recorder. The complaint was filed in Jackson County Circuit Court.
    Other business taken up at the regular council meeting was an amendment recommended by the Planning Commission to require that walls and roof be on and the exterior of a building painted six months after a building permit is issued. The amendment was passed by the council.
    They also hired Richard Harper as an assistant to John Butler. John Butler, Jr., recently resigned and accepted a job in Calif.
    They also hired Ted Welburn to mow the City Hall lawns front and back once a week during the summer. Mr. Welburn offered to do the job for $10 per month.

SCHOOL BUDGET APPROVED BY BUDGET COMMITTEE
    The Budget Committee of the Phoenix-Talent School District #4 approved a general fund operating budget of $986,131.00 at a recent meeting. After acceptance by the School Board, the budget will be explained at a final hearing scheduled for April 1.
    The amount of expenditure reflects an increase of $203,871. The major portion of the increase is in the Instruction item, which includes teacher salary raises based on a new salary schedule comparable to those adopted by other county schools, six new classroom teachers due to increased enrollment, and additional instructional costs for instruction in Music and Reading improvement. Other increases were for building maintenance and repair needs deferred from the previous two years for a new school bus to transport additional students, for additional teaching equipment and supplies, and for moderate personnel pay raises.
    Budget resources will, however, be increased over the current year due to estimated additional basic school support funds and the payment of a current year's deficit carried because of past delinquent taxes. Resulting millage for the district has been estimated at slightly under the current year's levy. Further tax relief could be obtained if certain accumulated tax delinquencies from previous years were to be paid.

JACKSON COUNTY PROPERTY OWNERS
    The Jackson County Property Owners met Tuesday, March 16, at the Medford Sr. High School with a panel discussing bills presently affecting the rental industry pending in the state legislature. Senate Bill 193 will be reviewed and House Bill 1697, contractors' license law, is controversial. Those in favor feel this law will protect the public from "fly-by-night" contractors. Those opposed feel that it will raise property maintenance costs, as the bill requires any work done in excess of $100 must be done by a licensed contractor.
    The policy of the Association is that they will not as a group oppose or support legislation but to present both views of the legislation; however, if members of the group feel strongly, they may form a citizens' group. 
    Schedule of coming meetings: April 20, John T. Holmes, Director of Building Safety, discussing building permits and zoning, & Robert Bradford, painting contractor, explaining painting procedures. May 18--John A. Graff, CPA, discussing depreciation and tax-saving methods for the rental owner & Miss Bata Hochhalter, Jackson Co.

PROPERTY CHANGES HANDS

    Is the City considering adding this area to the city limits? They'd better, in our opinion, wait until they fulfill their commitments in South Talent before they take on another large area to provide with sewage & water.
    If the houses there are built in the same manner as the 7 new ones on Wagner Creek Road, the new owners will have a city of their own on this clear pasture.

SELF-SERVICE POST OFFICE
    Word has been received from Postmaster General John A. Gronouski of a new improved "self-service post office." The new experimental 24-hour self-service unit--the second--opened in mid-March just outside Los Angeles to meet after-hours postage and mailing needs of suburbanites.
    The first unit was installed recently at a shopping center just outside Washington, D.C. It offers around-the-clock facilities for buying stamps, postal cards and envelopes at cost, mailing letters and weighing and mailing parcels.
    In the new model, the vending machines dispensing cards, envelopes, etc. have five times as much capacity and a larger roof over the vending devices and parcel post drops for letter protection of the public.
    These self-service units are designed as a supplement to service and not as a replacement for central postal facilities or personnel.
    While there has been no determination yet of how far this program will be expanded, it has a great potential for helping to meet the tremendous increases in suburban service demands more efficiently while providing even better service.

    George and Ada Kerby spent the afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Beatty south of Ashland recently.

TEACHERS ADVISED TO EXAMINE PARENT ATTITUDES
    "Before nursery school and preschool teachers attempt speech improvement programs with their students, they should discover what kind of parent-child relationship exists in the home and what attitudes the parents have toward their children."
    Such was the advice given to the SOC chapter of the Oregon Association for Nursery Education at their monthly meeting, April 12, by Dr. Leon Mulling, Chairman of the Dept. of Speech and Theater at SOC.
    Pointing to research studies emphasizing the need for patient and wholesome recreational activities in the home, he advised the group to discover if the parents engage in pleasant conversation, story-telling, speech games, shopping excursions, hiking, fishing and listening to the ideas of their children. Demonstrating some of the items on a parent attitude scale, Mulling indicated that many parents who have speech-defective children entertain negative attitudes with respect to discipline, food habits, recreation and speech instruction in the home. A question and answer period followed the talk.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
    How could there be anyone in this town vicious enough to poison a little dog. This was done over a period of a month or so. Done in small doses at first, then in a dose large enough to kill.
    A little Boston Bull named Mike was put to sleep in a veterinarian office yesterday because there was no hope and no reason to prolong the agony of having his mouth and stomach literally burned and bleeding.
    I have three little girls to tell that their pet won't be coming home. I wish this horrible person had to do this. They loved their little dog as much as he loved them. He was full of fun and love and friendliness. He never hurt anyone. He never even ventured away from home very far.
    This could be a good warning to the other people in this town who have pets. Be careful!
    It's over now and all we have left is memories and a big "WHY."--Mrs. Val Myers

    (Ed. Note) About once a year we learn that the meanest person possible is still a resident…have you any suggestions for a penalty for anyone who would deliberately torture and kill a child's pet?

SCHOOL ELECTION AND BUDGET MAY 3
    The school budget will be voted on as well as several vacancies on the school board will be voted on at the annual school election May 3.
    The budget has received a lot of work and discussion. There is very little to be voted on above the basic school support, and we feel that the increase of approx. $10,000 is justified by the needed repairs and enlargement of facilities and staff. We're for the budget.
    Running for the 5-year term vacated by Jack Spangler are three women, Mrs. Anne James, Mrs. Verne Beebe and Mrs. B. Bish and one man, J.C. Hollander. David Epling, who was appointed in Eddie Heim's place, is the only one running for that vacancy.
    In Phoenix, Dean Anderson, who was appointed to Mel Lattie's unexpired term, is running for the position as are Bill Cooper and Paul Beddoe.
    All voters in the district may vote to fill all three vacancies.

THE LOWEDOWN
    PRAYERS for the success of the 1965 Cancer Crusade will be offered by worshippers of all faiths on May 2, designated Cancer Control Sunday by the Medford Ministerial Society.
    "Everyone, regardless of color or creed, hopes for the day when cancer will be eliminated as a threat to human life," said John Heberling, American Cancer Society representative of the Jackson County Ministerial Society.
    "We live in the faith that we see in our lifetime a world free of a cruel disease which indiscriminately attacks men, women, and children," Heberling said. "Prayer gives us the courage and the determination to persist in this faith. Let each of us, in his own way, add the strength of his prayers to the great crusade of saving lives."
    Contributions to the American Cancer Society made it possible to establish a Tumor Registry at the Sacred Heart Hospital in 1957 and at the Rogue Valley Memorial Hospital in 1960. To date, the Society has supported the two registries in the amount of $6,500.00.
    In printing out the purpose of the registries, which keep permanent records of cancer cases, Dr. Robert Buck, chief of the pathology depts., explained that the benefits were threefold. "A Tumor Registry is of educational value to the physician, research value to the Cancer Society, and means greater progress for the patient through follow-up treatment and clinical discussion," Buck said. "The registries help prevent the patient being lost to follow-up care. To date, 860 cancer cases are in the registries' files."
    A weekly Cancer Clinic has been established in conjunction with the registries record system. At these clinics, a group of doctors discuss the history and prognosis of current cases, particularly problem ones, and arrive at the best mode of treatment.
    The registries consist of necessary office and laboratory equipment installed at both hospitals, and is one of the many tangible accomplishments made possible by donations to the American Cancer Society. Dr. Buck referred to the service as another advance in making Southern Oregon an important medical center.

    THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY will hold the final training sessions for the Residential "Tell Your Neighbor" Crusaders on Friday, April 30. These meetings for all Blockworkers, Captains, and Chairmen, will be held at 10:00 a.m. in Ashland at the Parish Hall of Our Lady of the Mountain Catholic Church, 987 Hillview. For the Medford area, the meetings will be held in the Red Cross Bldg, 60 Hawthorne Ave. at 1:30 p.m. and again at 7:30 p.m. Babysitters will be furnished for the 1:30 p.m. meeting.
    Featured at these training meetings will be Dr. Wm. R. Stewart, Radiologist, who will illustrate his talk on "Cancer Problems Today" with slides and will answer questions concerning cancer. Residential kits will be distributed and Mrs. Mahr Reymers, Executive Secretary, will explain the procedure to be used on "C" Day, May 6. Doughnuts and coffee will be served. All residential volunteers are urged to attend one of the meetings this Friday at the Catholic Church in Ashland or the Red Cross Bldg. in Medford.

THE JACKSON COUNTY PROPERTY OWNERS RENTAL ASSOCIATION held their monthly meeting April 20 at the Medford Sr. High School. Mr. John T. Holmes, Dir. of Building Safety for the City of Medford, outlined the basic building codes and excerpts from the zoning ordinance affecting the property owners.
    Mr. Robert Bradford, painting contractor, emphasized the importance of surface preparation with the proper priming and undercoating for a successful and long-lasting paint finish. On exterior surfaces, about 90% of cracking and peeling is caused by moisture. Of course there is some problem with wood resins. He explained the vital importance of taking the old material and cleaning down to a good solid surface using a primer and sealer. He suggested that use of clear shellac for sealing areas which tend to bleed. This is true for either interior or exterior. He suggested careful selection of good materials and those specially prepared for the purpose.
    Mr. John A. Graff, C.P.A., will speak May 18 regarding tax-saving ideas for rental property owners and Miss Bata Hochhalter, Jackson Co. Extension Home Economist, will outline various services and materials available at the Jackson Co. Extension Service.

ANNEXED AREA ASKS FOR SEWER SYSTEM
    A delegation of residents from the recently annexed south Talent area met with the Talent city council last night to object to the city plan to provide water and not sewer facilities to the area at this time.
    A public hearing on the matter was set for 8 p.m. June 8 in the City Hall.
    Don Grimes, a member of the city Planning Commission and resident of the south Talent area, spoke for the delegation. He said that most of the residents there had good wells and that they felt that the sewer situation should be remedied first.
    Mayor Granville Brittsan explained that the City can only bond $91,000 under the Bancroft Act and that this amount would not cover the cost of the water and sewer lines, which would cost approximately $250,000.
    The sewer alone would cost about $125,000, Brittsan said, which will leave the town with no choice other than to install water lines which would cost approximately $84,484.
    Brittsan said that pure water in pipe lines could not be contaminated even by Chic Sales.
    Jim Selleck, Lithia Drive-in, said that water would be an "immediate disadvantage" because more would be used in washers, etc., which would only aggravate the already overwhelming sewage problem.
    A question was raised about the sewer and water situation on the former Clarence Wilson property which was recently sold for residential development.
    Mayor Brittsan said if developers asked that the property be annexed they would have to finance sewage and water lines. That any moneys the City spent in that area would first have been paid to the City by the developers of the property.
    The council set 8 p.m. June 8 for a public hearing to consider the withdrawal of all recently annexed areas from the Talent Rural Fire Protection District. These will include S. Talent, Wagner Cr. Road development, Paradise Apts. and Roy Maudlin property. The council set 8 p.m. May 25 for a public hearing on a Planning Commission recommendation to change zoning of property on Foss Road from single to multiple dwelling.
    Councilmen passed an ordinance calling for a charge of ½¢ per sq. ft. for all property petitioning to be annexed to the City. They also set an effective period for building permits at 6 months and agreed to charge a fee of $100 for water connections with a surcharge of $25 for properties outside the city limits.
    Approval of the purchase of two lots on Fairview St. from the County was recorded.
    Ned Langford, former Medford planning consultant now in private practice, discussed comprehensive, long-range planning for Talent and suggested the community investigate county and federal cooperation and financing.

POTLUCK FELLOWSHIP SUPPER at Talent Methodist Church for May will be held Friday evening, May 14, in the Annex, beginning at 6:45.
    Honored guests for the evening will be Paul and Wanda Johnson and children who will be leaving the congregation, moving to the northern part of the Valley. They have been active members, serving as Sunday school teachers and youth directors. Everyone is cordially invited to attend.

DIABLO IS COMING
    The Talent Rural Firemen's Association will present Dr. Les Diablo & troupe on June 3 at 8 p.m. in the Talent Jr. Hi Auditorium with proceeds to be used for the Firemen's Fund.
    The show will feature the famous DR. LES DIABLO, a Master in the Arts of Mystifying Magic, Hypnosis, Illusion, Escape and Levitation. With such added acts as the internationally known "Spinets" and Mad Hatters and Dick Cross at the organ, this is truly a show to delight and entertain the entire family.
    Tickets are available from local businessmen through advance sales from the Talent rural volunteer firemen and at the box office on show date.


    We wonder how the water master can oversee the installation of the new water lines in South Talent when he has all he can do now to take care of the City's present lines, plant, meter readings, etc.

BRIDAL SHOWER

OBITUARY--MABEL L. MOORE
    Mabel Lenore Moore, 70, of Rt. 1, Box 408, Talent, died early Saturday at Ashland General Hospital. Miss Moore was born Aug. 31, 1894 in Lemoore, Calif.

    The police fund increase to $2,100.00 was placed in the budget to hire a policeman to be on duty during Chuck's 2 weeks' vacation and to help him on Hallowe'en, we hear. If the City wants to hire a part-time policeman, why not just say so--go ahead and do it--not beating around the bush.
    $500.00 deducted from office supplies and added to water clerk for help in office.

REJECT ZONE CHANGE
A special hearing was held at the Talent City Hall on Tuesday evening at the request of the city Planning Commission for a zone change from single to multiple dwelling of property located on Foss Rd. The request was denied by the city council.

RURAL FIRE BUDGET SQUEAKS THROUGH
    72 citizens of the Talent Rural Fire District voted on the budget Tuesday. The budget passed by a tight squeeze of 37 yes and 35 no.
    ED. NOTE: The best protection that any rural area has is their rural fire dept. who have an excellent record for the past year. We believe it is the best investment one could make to support this dept.
    If residents would come to the budget hearings held shortly before the yearly election to make their questions known and ask for explanations of budget items, we're sure more would vote for and less against this small request.

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE DISCUSSED
    Discipline in the Phoenix-Talent School District and a proposed land development plan both brought delegates to the school board meeting Monday night.
    8 parents asked about specific discipline problems and the use of physical force in disciplining children.
    One complete school record of one youngster involved was read at his insistence.
    The School Board voted to send a letter to each parent present stating its intention to back the school administration in the disciplining of students and saying that corporal punishment (spanking and using physical force to stop violations or provocative actions) would be approved when other means failed.
    Possible development of the County Agronomy Station site into a future school site was discussed with Ron Pitts, Talent and C.E. Wilson, owner, of the adjacent property, with road development in mind. Matter will be discussed further with county court.
    School District attorney William Mansfield was directed to execute the purchase of 3.7 acres of land adjacent to the Talent Elementary School site for building expansion. Total price was $15,000.
    The oath of office was given to recently elected school board members.
    23 new teachers have been hired.

    Postmaster ______________ today invited residents of    Name of Area    to visit the special post office exhibit at the New York World's Fair.
    Highlight of the display is the nation's most famous postal error, the 1918 twenty-four-cent airmail stamp with the upside-down mail plane, the postmaster said.
    In addition to original die proofs of the "mistake" and other philatelic rarities connected with the airmail invert, the post office features an exhibit on the development of the John F. Kennedy memorial stamp, and a special branch of the Post Office Department's Philatelic Sales Agency, offering a complete stock of all commemorative issues now available.
    Visitors to the modern postal installation will receive a free commemorative cachet envelope picturing the post office.
    The most up-to-date postal equipment in use and several experimental models are installed in the World's Fair Post Office. One mechanism mechanically places letters on their long end, spots the stamp and, if necessary, flips the envelopes so that they are in the proper position and then cancels them. Another device over 70 feet long contains 12 stations from which postal clerks direct letters into nearly 300 bins as they separate the mail for speedy delivery.



WATER, SEWER ISSUE DEBATED
    The question of whether water or sewer service should be installed first in the recently annexed South Talent area was debated during a public hearing held last night.
    The council had suggested that water service be installed first because of the higher cost of the sewage service improvement.
    Petitions signed by 68 property owners were presented stating that the first need was for sewage facilities.
    The council was asked to hold an informal election to determine the wishes of all the residents. Action was delayed until a quorum of councilmen could be present.
    Attorney Ben Day, who represents some of the South Talent area residents, pointed out that the sewage problem presents an immediate health hazard and that until this problem is remedied, land owners cannot subdivide their properties.
    The question of fire protection was raised by one resident in regard to the Talent Rural Fire Protection of South Talent. It was voted to withdraw from the Rural Fire Protection as the Talent fire dept. has a loan of a tanker along with their own until their new fire truck arrives this fall.
    New annexation of the Wilson property was discussed providing the owners of the development pay for all the facilities of sewer and water for the whole property.
    The City Attorney will meet with the owners before any action is taken by the council. There will be a special meeting as soon as possible to determine if the City will furnish water or sewer for South Talent.

    The Talent Post Office is planning to participate in President Lyndon B. Johnson's Natural Beauty Program.
    Postmaster General John A. Gronouski has asked the nation's 34,000 postmasters to seek cooperation of garden clubs, chambers of commerce and other civic groups in the communities to enhance the grounds around government installations.
    Postmasters who have done an outstanding job of setting an example for the community and mobilizing local action to support the President's program of revitalizing the nation's outdoors will be presented with a special citation.
    In asking the nation's postmasters  to take part in the "spruce up" campaign, the Postmaster General said, "Many of our postmasters have been doing a good job of post office maintenance and have attempted to make the surroundings more pleasant. However, there may be areas where a little more effort will make a noticeable difference in the beauty of a building."
    Recommendations for the citation will be made by an official of the Post Office Department's Seattle region who, during a visit to the Talent Post Office on other business, determined that the exterior and grounds present an appearance of which the community may be justly proud.

SNAKES!!!!!
    Dragons or snakes, it didn't make much difference to Verna Switzer Wed. when she went out on her back porch. She saw a large snake wrapped around a pigeon nest that had two eggs in it. She let out a scream and got her daughter Evelyn to come and take a peek. After one look, she made a hasty retreat to the front yard, far away from the back porch.
    After a long wait for Ed to come home, the snake having digested the eggs, they all armed themselves with everything but a pitchfork, such a loud noise was made, the snake finally slithered down and across the yard. Brave Ed gave one lunge and severed the snake's head. A snake specialist was quickly called in. The snake was three feet long and was identified as a bull snake.

COUNCIL MEETS
    The Rev. Alvin Smith, chairman of the citizens' water and sewer committee, had the problem of deciding how to finance the installation of sewer lines in the South Talent area handed to them Tuesday night by the mayor and city council. He will be assisted by the full committee, City Attorney Bill Mansfield and Ben Day, attorney for some of the S. Talent citizens. They will meet every Tuesday night until the next regular council session.
    The council approved a recommendation of the water and sewer committee that water, for household use only, be provided for the Gordon Kershaw subdivision on Wagner Creek. All lines, meters and the pumping station [to be] installed at the expense of the subdivider and upon completion, these facilities [to] be turned over to the City.
    Kershaw said he would accept the committee's recommendation that houses be built one to a one-acre lot in the 20-A subdivision.
    About 40 citizens attended the meeting and questioned the council on several items.
    Watermaster John Butler said the City filtration plant was capable of filtering 250,000 gallons of water in an eight-hour period and that at the present time about 225,000 gallons are being used during this period of time. That pump is really busy pumping 31,250 gallons of water an hour from the creek into the filtration plant.
    Also questioned about why, when John Butler, Jr. resigned from the job of Asst. Watermaster in the spring, the city applications asked for to replace him but when the man quit, no applications were requested to replace him and John Butler, Jr. was rehired for the position.
    Mayor Brittsan replied that the council felt that it would be better to hire an experienced man.
    Attorney Wm. Mansfield said that it is not required that the minutes and bill be read at the council meetings since they are available to the public at any time.
    Mr. John Baldwin asked who was in charge of [the] street dept. The mayor [omission] no equipment and must hire contractor. John Tompkins suggested that temporary repairs be made by City employees. Council agreed.

ROSE BUSHES SHEARED
    The lovely rose bushes hedging the Talent City Hall were sheared Tuesday morning by several youths under the watchful eye of Chief of Police Charles Roberts.
    A sickening sight to see the tattered remnants of the proud bushes planted forty years ago by members of the Community Club struggling to survive not only the ravages of nature but the idiocy of man.
    For the information of the City employees interested in keeping the City Hall grounds beautified, roses should be pruned in the spring by someone who knows how to prune roses and not by teenage youths turned loose with a pair of pruning shears.
    If the roses are to survive their Mohawk haircut, they should at least receive a good soaking at the base.
    If the young gentlemen are to work for the City, they might be better put to spading around the bushes and mixing some humus and fertilizer into the ground.

COUNCIL OK'S SOUTH TALENT SEWER
    At a special meeting Tuesday evening, the full council met with City Attorney Wm. Mansfield and Attorney Ben Day. They accepted the water commission recommendation to construct a sewer line in South Talent as planned by Marquess & Marquess Engineers.

    They also accepted the utility board's recommendation that the firm of Marquess and Marquess be retained as engineers for the City and instructed to proceed with final plans and specifications for construction of the sewer system.
    They also accepted responsibility for fixing the south portion of West St.
    Bancroft bonding to the extent of $92,000.00 is planned to help finance the project. Originally a 6-inch pipe was to be installed, but with the help of the City of Talent, plans now call for a 12-inch main.--cont. on Talent Thrift Mkt. page.

SPECIAL MEETING OF COUNCIL
CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE
    Among ways of raising the City's share of the cost of the 12-inch pipe which were discussed at the special council meeting was the increase in the water rates of approximately $1.50. No decision was made.
    In May, mayor Granville Brittsan explained that [the] cost of the sewer alone would cost approximately $125,000.00. By dropping two laterals from the original estimate, part of the difference in the cost of the 6-inch and 12-inch lines will be absorbed.
    If 96 connections are made and Bancroft bonding is allowed for $92,000.00, this will leave a deficit of approximately $4,000.00 still to be raised.

TALENT NEEDS $20,000 TO FINANCE THEIR SHARE OF
SOUTH TALENT SEWER COSTS
    How Talent will finance the city's $20,000 share of a sewer line project to serve the south Talent area has not yet been determined, City Attorney William Mansfield told council members Tuesday night.
    The balance of the estimated cost of $130,000 for the project, which was approved by the city council at a special meeting the last week of July, will be financed through assessments against properties served and hook-up fees.
    Mansfield noted the city is currently paying off $250,000 in water bonds.
    In other business, the council authorized the organization of a volunteer auxiliary police force. Chief of Police Charles Roberts was asked to make arrangements.
    John Butler, Watermaster, said crews working on the repair of the dam at the filtration plant on Wagner Creek should begin to pour concrete this week and that it was expected the work would be completed in about three weeks. The structure was damaged during the December floods.
    The question of where the City would put the new fire truck due to arrive in October was raised by John Baldwin. The present structure will not hold both trucks.
NOTE: The City might investigate renting garage space from Mrs.Redmon until a new fire hall can be constructed.
    Paul Williams and partner, Medford, appeared before the council, asking for permission to start a pizza parlor in the former Cookey's Café. Their request for a beverage license was referred to the Planning Commission and Chief of Police Roberts for a routine check.
    Paul Williams will be remembered by Talentonians. He was employed at the Ideal Mkt. by Ernie Allen for some time.
    Lois Yockel, Sec. Utility Commission, read a recommendation that water deposits be refunded to property owners after one year. The city council agreed.

PHOENIX SCHOOL BOARD ADOPTS SUPPLEMENTAL FUND OF $25,000
    The Phoenix School Board Monday night adopted a supplemental budget totaling $25,000 for purchasing additional land for school sites.
    A public hearing will be held Sept. 8 at PHS on this budget.
    The money will be used to acquire additional land at the Talent Elementary School site for earnest payment on property made available by Jackson County, and for possibly changing an elementary site in the Barnett Road area.
    The district needs to increase the size of the Talent school site from the present 4.69 acres to 10 acres to meet state standards for a school of 500 students, the anticipated enrollment at Talent.
    The Board authorized a $500 earnest money payment to Dan Adams from whom the property will be purchased from the present budget. The remainder of the $15,000 for the property will come from the supplemental budget.
    Other funds in the supplemental budget will be used to purchase an option on county-owned property on Colver Road for a future school site.
    Funds for the supplemental budget will not increase the district's taxes. The money will come from cash on hand and from payment of back taxes principally through the payment of back taxes by Rogue Valley Manor. Some of the funds from payment of back taxes will be used to reduce this year's tax levy.
    The Board decided to meet twice a month regularly. The meetings will be held on the 2nd and 3rd Thursdays. The first September meeting, however, will be held Sept. 8 following the hearing on the supplemental budget because of other commitments on Sept. 9.

TALENT 4-H and FFA members were well represented in the winners' circle at the Jackson County 4-H FFA Fair. Several will be represented at the State Fair. Congratulations to these busy, active young people.

COUNTY SEWER SYSTEM EXPLAINED
    At a public meeting on Monday evening, Les Wierson, project engineer for the Jackson County area-wide sewerage works for Bear Creek Valley, showed maps of the area to be covered and explained what the whole business was about.
    He said that sewer pipe in Talent was fair to good, but that the main problem was caused by the fact that mortar had been used to join the pipe and that the cement had deteriorated, allowing ground water to infiltrate the system, making treatment more expensive. The Talent plant was built in 1936 and removed 80% of the pollution load, which was OK at the time, but now the state requires that 90% be removed. The plant was designed for 700 persons to use and now serves 950, which does not include South Talent.
    At this rate, everyone will have to take turns using bath facilities. The projected plant, called Rogue River Plant at Bear Creek, is urgently needed at Talent. It is also needed at Central Point and other urban areas. Ashland's system is adequate until 1980; Jacksonville and Eagle Point have new systems which will be adequate for a long time. Total coast on the new plant, including improvements on Medford's works, totals $7,688,800.00. Plans are to phase out the Medford plant and enlarge the RR plant. These costs do not include collection pipes in various areas interested in joining the sewer system. The Talent Plant will be abandoned except as a collection point where sewerage from this area will enter the main pipeline.
    How to finance the system and bill users has not yet been determined. Costs to individuals who wish to connect is also undetermined except that a group will have to join together to form a collection area with a main collection point to drop sewerage in the main line. It is planned that the first cost will be on an overall basis with users paying the larger share and those non-users such as orchardists, farmers, etc. paying a percentage of the cost since it is felt that availability to the pipeline would improve the value of their land for subdivision. The citizens committee hopes to be able to present to the people a more definite version of the plan the first of the year and to have it on the ballot this spring.

Of course his FRIENDS gave us this account of the hunt and we have to depend on them for all these details.

TALENT RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS
    At the regular meeting Tuesday evening, the Board of Directors of the Talent Rural Fire Protection District discussed their policy of covering fires outside the boundaries of the district. They again decided that they could not risk the volunteers by going to fires outside the boundaries of the district since neither the firemen or the equipment are covered by insurance when called outside the district unless the call is for a mutual aid fire.
    This is an especially important question during the winter months since the Forest Service does not answer fire calls after the rains set in and this leaves many homes outside the district without protection.
    Residents of the present district will vote at the Talent rural fire hall, and residents of the area wishing to be annexed to the district will vote at the home of Roscoe Owens, Rt. 1, Box 346, at the corner of Pioneer Road just off of Colver Road.
    Fire Chief Tom White reported that there were 4 alarms in August including one of 1½ hours for mutual aid by the Forest Service. This was at the Ashland dump. White issued 12 burning permits and made 24 inspections. The volunteer firemen had 4 fire drills; 2 regular drills and 2 daytime drills for men who work at night.
    Chief White reported that the volunteer firemen's association have purchased a hose washer for the use of the District. He also announced that there would be a high concentration foam display in Ashland Saturday at 9 a.m. by the Ashland fire department.
    Chairman Eddie Heim appointed Dean Blackburn, Lee Quinn and Tom White to start drawing up specifications for a tanker to be purchased under next year's budget.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS
    The Talent city council met in regular session Tuesday evening at the Talent City Hall with all members of the council present.
    Ordinances read and passed for the first reading included: One granting a franchise to PP&L for 20 years; one subdivision including orderly approval of subdivisions, standards of subdivision streets, curbs and gutters, water and sewer lines must be installed before subdivision approved and including a bonding agreement for financing subdivisions. The council also heard an ordinance to adopt the revisions to the Municipal Building Code as accepted by the League of Oregon Cities as the law for the building code of the City of Talent.
    Questions raised include, "If City gets bank loan for $20,000, how will City pay loan?" It will be paid by City levy.
    What became of $1.00 monthly that was supposed to go into sewer sinking fund? As far as he can discover, questioner Lee Boyd said, the council had not approved its usage and the money should be in the City funds whether sewer or utility fund. The fund as of January, 1965, was $1860.
    Mr. Wm. Mansfield said the City was not charging enough for water and sewer.
    Mr. Boyd agreed charges were not adequate but still wished an explanation made to the people [of] what became of the sewer fund.
    Mrs. Gleim explained that for John Tompkins' question that the $1714.12 in water improvement fund derived from the amount budgeted for repair and improvements of the water system and came from the sale of water bonds at that time. This money will be used to pay for the repair to the dam now under way or lay water lines or repair plant.
    Mr. Tompkins felt the council should take some action since the original motion said money ($1.00 per month) would be set aside for a specific purpose; it is not now being used for that purpose but being put into the general funds of the City.
    The original council action was not by ordinance.
    Matter tabled until next regular council meeting while attorney Mansfield looks up the original action and gives an opinion.
    Council discussed business licenses. Mayor Granville Brittsan appointed Mrs. Geraldine Schmelzer and Mrs. C.V. Seavey to number streets and houses in the south Talent area.
    John Tompkins appointed by mayor to investigate housing for new city fire truck due to arrive early in October.
    Fire Chief Boyd also asked that fire hydrant be installed on Foss Road at city limits. The closest fire hydrant is over 1500 feet away. He also asked that the city council write to the county court to ask that road behind Lithia Drive-In, which forms part of the city limits, be opened and that the council purchase 2 fire extinguishers for the City Hall.
    Lois Yockel reported that the cost of having a water line placed across the highway varied. Lininger would push a hole for a 4" line the 55 feet for $6.00 a foot, double for an 8-inch line.
    Mr. Boyd said the fire dept. would not recommend anything smaller than a 6-inch line for reasons of fire protection.
    Mayor Brittsan referred the problem back to the planning board for further study.
    Council also considered bid by Ed Lunsford to repair old City pickup truck for $301.95. Voted to have Ed repair truck.

TALENT FEDERATED WOMEN'S CLUB will hold their first fall meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 28 at 1:30 p.m. at the Talent City Hall. Mrs. John Baldwin will be speaker for the meeting.
    Ladies of the community and city are invited to attend.

ROBIN HOOD
    Don Lucier bagged his deer last weekend with his trusty bow and arrow. The arrow went through the deer's heart. Don has bagged his deer this way for the past several seasons.

GOLIATH
    Bill Davis went hunting in Klamath Co. last week with his dad, Les. Les went up the mountain to chase the deer down to where Bill waited. When Les returned, Bill has a deer cleaned and ready to go. A deer wounded by another hunter wandered by, and as he couldn't travel very fast, Bill grabbed him by the ears and both rolled down the hill. The deer kicked Bill in the chest. This made him REAL mad so he picked up a rock and WHAM, that was the end of that episode. SO, if any local hunter runs out of ammo, just pick up a rock and have at it.

    In a letter to the Postmaster, Mr. Neal pointed out that a successful School Savings program--through which pupils buy U.S. Savings Stamps at school on a regular basis--"requires the joint cooperation of teachers, parents, and volunteer workers--and above all, good service by the post office and the understanding leadership of the Postmaster."
    School Savings, which operates in the Talent school, is a part of the nationwide Savings Bond program and, [in] Mr. Neal's words, "has launched the thrift careers of millions of boys and girls." Then, commenting on the fact that the bond program will observe its 25th anniversary in 1966, he said "many of those who began with School Savings during World War II are now the regular buyers of Savings Bonds--and as parents, are anxious for their children too to enjoy the benefits of this patriotic program.
    "The sale of Savings Stamps to the public--and especially to our young people through the School Savings Program--is a service we are proud to render. I know of no finer way to build for tomorrow than by training our youth in the sound American heritage of thrift."
    Savings Stamps in 10-cent and 25-cent denominations are on sale at all times at the post office and on Stamp Day in the schools.

Talent-Phoenix School System is still increasing. Enrollment for the combined area is now 1,505 students.

    The County has proposed a price of $1700 an acre for the property at the edge of Talent.
    Mansfield wrote the county court asking that the school district be allowed to take immediate possession so a school vocational agricultural program could be started there.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT GROUP
    At the meeting of the Talent Civic Improvement Group last Thursday evening, Sam Oettinger, temporary chairman, explained the intention was not to encroach on the responsibilities of the city council, but to supplement the council's efforts and to do those things which could only be done [by] the citizens themselves, acting as a non-government group.
    Questions were asked about alternative methods of paying the City's share of the cost of the improvements and it was explained that if the City had or could develop uncommitted revenues, then it could be possible for the council to finance the project without the cost of an election.
    A motion was made that the group go on record as approving an early bond election if such was necessary to finance the City's part of the sewer project. The motion passed unanimously and will be sent to the council.
    The next meeting will be held at the City Hall.

    Mrs. Watson ("Ma") slipped and fell and broke her arm last week and was confined to the Sacred Heart Hospital for several days.

PHOENIX DISTRICT BUYS 45-ACRE SITE FOR FUTURE SCHOOL
    Purchase of the 45-acre agronomy station site on Colver Rd. by the Phoenix-Talent School District has been agreed to by the district school board and the Jackson County court, according to Dean Anderson, Board Chairman.
    Purchase price is $76,500, or 1,700 an acre, for the property which will be used as a future high school site when expansion is needed.
    A down payment of $2,146 was authorized by the Board and accepted by the county court last week. The balance will be paid over a five-year period at 4% interest.
    Immediate use of the property is planned by the high school vo-ag department, according to Dist. Supt. Henry O. Pete.
    Fall seeding is underway by the agriculture students.
    One of the 2 buildings on the property will be used for a district shop in the maintenance program now being conducted by Walter Bolz.
    No date for construction of the new high school could be set now, according to Anderson. It is necessary to plan for future growth and to acquire sites before they are developed for other purposes. Growth is assured in the area. We can see the time when the high school program will outgrow the present facilities. Then the present high school plant will be used as a second junior hi.
    County Judge Miller has requested the district reserve 60-foot roadways at each edge of the property as future planning may require. 4 homeowners on Colver Road will be allowed continued use of an artesian well on the property.

TALENT COUNCIL MEETS
    The Talent city council met Tuesday night in regular session. They approved the start of the $130,000 project to construct a sewer line in the South Talent area.
    The engineering firm of Marquess & Marquess was instructed to draw up final plans and specifications and place them in the office of the City Recorder.
    At a special meeting Wednesday, Oct. 5, the council gave tentative approval to the action taken last Tuesday at the regular meeting.
    The project is estimated to cost $130,000. Of this amount, $80,000 is to be paid ultimately through assessment against the South Talent area on a benefit basis (Bancroft bonding will be available): $20,000 is to be paid ultimately by the City out of tax levies; $30,000 is to be paid out of sewer hookup fees.
    It was explained that Talent's new assessed valuation increased its bonding capacity (based on a percentage of assessed valuation) from the former $91,000 to more than $140,000.
    Councilmen decided to widen the present fire hall room in order to accommodate the new truck which is to be delivered later this month.

WAGNER CREEK DUMP REPORTED CLEANED
    The dump grounds on Wagner Creek on Bureau of Land Management property is now clean of any debris, the Jackson County court observed recently.
    "There was not a single can or debris of any kind deposited in the area," County Commissioner Rodney Keating said Friday.
    County crews cleaned up the area and BLM personnel felled some trees. The County fenced the property against further use as a dump ground.
    Keating said the area never was an official dump but people of the Talent area had dumped debris there.
EDITOR'S NOTE: We agree the old dump area has been cleaned up and is no longer a disgrace, but members of the county court and BLM might take a trip farther up the road to the next hairpin curve where quite a bit of debris was dumped last summer; also between the old dump and the curve was another pile of trash.

TALENT SCHOOL FIRST & SECOND GRADERS
IN 1910 HOLD REUNION
    A reunion of several women who attended the old Talent School in 1910 was a recent two-day event in the Valley. Most of the women who attended had been members of the first and second grade class taught by Mrs. Frank Myers, the former Miss Mary Bigham, who now lives on Table Rock Road, Medford.
    The group met for dinner in North's Restaurant and held a breakfast in Stanley's Restaurant.
    Coming from a distance were Mrs. Mabel (Kerby) Stennett, Crescent City, Calif.; Mrs. Ena (Davis) Walton, Sebastopol, Calif.; and Mrs. Lucy (Ortman) Molan, Portland.
    From this area were Mrs. Edna (Wells) Trent, and Mrs. Maude (Rice) Bailey, both Talent; Mrs. Fern (Dewey) Crump, Mrs. Irma (Robinson) Hansen, Mrs. Thelma (Beeson) Snyder, and Mrs. Viola (Brown) Bigham, all Medford; and Mrs. Delpha (Coleman) Offenbacher, Jacksonville.
    Another meeting is planned in the future so more of the former students may attend.

HOSPITALIZED

SURGERY PATIENT IMPROVES

WORD TO THE WISE
    There's always something to be thankful for. If you can't pay your bills, be thankful you are not one of your creditors. The one consolation about having to go to work in winter is to look out the east kitchen window and see the sky turn from black to rosy gray and then to brilliant scarlet before the sun rises. Like watching the earth being made new each day and there you are with a ringside seat.

SEE AND BE SEEN FOR HALLOWE'EN
is Police Chief Charles Roberts' advice to trick-or-treaters:
    He advises parents to use makeup--eyebrow pencil, powder, etc. and a little imagination to paint your children's faces. Masks slip easily and can block a child's vision. If he can't see, he can easily step into the path of a car. Dress them in light-colored costumes or put reflectorized tape on their clothes. Tell your children to stay on the sidewalks and to be careful crossing the streets.

TALENT COUNCIL REFUSES TO PAY CONTRACTOR DUE TO LEGAL TECHNICALITY
    The Talent city council refused Tuesday night to pay Keith Walker, contractor, for preparing West St. for paving because the contract procedure required by the city charter was not followed.
    The city charter requires that any City work in excess of $500 be let for bid.
    City Attorney William Mansfield said that in his opinion the complete cost of the job, $1,280, could not be split into three contracts, each under $500. He recommended that the Nov. 1 bill from Walker in the amt. of $460, covering the first portion of the work done, not be paid unless Walker would accept it as payment for the complete job.
    There were no bids advertised for or made on the job and the council did not hire Walker, the City Attorney pointed out. mayor Granville Brittsan hired Walker to do the work for the City.
    Also under discussion was the City Street Fund which now contains $7,500.
    The question of the whereabouts of the remainder of the $12,000 which was in the fund on Jan. 1, arose and was answered by mayor Brittsan.
    He explained that in February, 1965, the City was short $6,000 to meet the water system payment of $8,000, so he authorized a loan from the Street Fund to the Water Fund to make the payment. He did not consult the council. He said the money would be returned to the Street Fund as soon as possible.
    He agreed that the action should have been approved by the council since the Street Fund is given to cities by the State and is earmarked for street use only.
    mayor Brittsan said that he had made mistakes--that anyone who does anything makes mistakes--but his were honest mistakes, honestly made and he was learning from them.
    The City agreed to accept the subdivision plan for Christian Acres, as presented by Ron Pitts, after a contract between Pitt and the City is signed.
    The subdivider is to pay for engineering and inspection by engineer, Bill Warren; to install 6 inch water pipes, 8-inch sewer lines, manholes and fire hydrants to City specifications on Fourth Street. He is to bring Fourth St. up to grade, including curbs, gutters and base rock, and to install all sewer and water lines within the subdivision.
    The City will bring sewer and water lines to the property line and pave Fourth St. when money is available.

    About fifty property owners of Wagner Creek attended the hearing on zoning of Wagner Creek Wed. evening. Bill Beeson presented a petition to the board with two hundred signers against zoning the Wagner Creek area. The court tabled the issue for the time being.

"ARMISTICE PROCLAMATION"
    Proclaiming Nov. 11, 1939, a legal holiday.
    "Whereas, in the tragic situation which the world finds itself today, with the destructive forces of war once again unleashes, it is appropriate for the people of the United States to reflect upon that hour of November 11, 1918, when the voices of war were silenced, and to look forward even now to a time when a just and enduring peace shall be established among all the peoples of the earth;
    Now, therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do hereby direct that on November 11, 1939, the flag of the United States be displayed on all Government buildings, and I invite the people of the United States to observe the day in schools or churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies."

    TALENT is the place where most of us live. Therefore, Talent is the most important place on earth to us. That being the case, it becomes our selfish duty to devote a portion of our time to the welfare of Talent.

WHAT IS THANKSGIVING?
Thanksgiving is trees wearing orange and gold
And brown-tinged leaves everywhere
It's orange pumpkins ripe on the vine
And the feel of crisp autumn air
It's families visiting with relatives
And the men discussing the weather
Thanksgiving is women in the kitchen
And having a good time together
It's wonderful aromas in the air
And tidbits to sample from the platter
While mothers and aunts with their backs turned away
Smile for it doesn't really matter
Thanksgiving is lingering at the table
While the coffee cools in your cup
It's chatting and laughing, the satisfied sighs
Of people too full to get up
It's looking around you and counting your blessings
And thanking the good Lord above
For happiness, health, for freedom and plenty
And for the people whom you love
Thanksgiving is meeting and greeting and eating
With all those you hold dear
It's praying and saying how good God has been
To have blessed you so richly all year

TALENT SEWER
    After a deputy state engineer inspected the Talent sewer system, he disapproved annexing of two acres of land to the City of Talent.
    A letter to the county court from the State Sanitary Deputy, E.J. Weathersbee, engineer, stated inspection showed that the system was overloaded. Sewer is receiving 85 per cent complete treatment, designed for a capacity of 700 now serves about 1000. In view of the report from the engineer, the Co. Court could not approve the connections of a significant number of additional homes to the present sewer unless the plant can be increased.
    The Bear Creek Valley Plan would do away with the Talent Sewer, but why burden ourselves with several million dollars of debt when our plant can be enlarged for $50,000 or $60,000. When South Talent, plus 16 new units in Christian Acres, is connected, Talent will have to do something about it. (Editor's note: Let's start thinking now just what we want for our town before all our dollars go down the drain.)

    The home of Harold Straus, Wagner Creek, was entered and over $400 taken. State Police arrested Donald R. Bowen of Medford and lodged him in County jail. Bail has been set at $1500.00.

    The Talent Café will be closed until the 9th of January. Mrs. Esther Cory, who is employed at the café, left for Grand Rapids, N. Dakota, to visit her son and family. She will return about Jan. 1st.

LOWE-DOWN
    Talent's City attorney, Bill Mansfield, was asked Tuesday night at the regular council meeting to prepare a petition to recall mayor Granville Brittsan after councilman John Tompkins charged the mayor has violated City laws and failed to heed legal advice.
    Tompkins specifically charged Brittsan with contracting for the opening of West Street without offering the contract to competitive bidding. He pointed out that the work was to cost $1,200 and City laws require bids for all work over $500.00.
    On the advice of the City Attorney, the council has refused to pay contractor Keith Walker more than $500.00. Brittsan had said at that time he had made an "honest mistake."
    Before Tompkins asked for the petition recalling the mayor, he had a motion asking for the resignation of Brittsan. The motion was passed five to one with councilman F.G. Gilbreath opposing it.
    mayor Brittsan said he would not resign because so man people had come to him telling him they wanted him to continue as mayor. He said he was willing to "chip in my share" for a special city election but that if he was re-elected he would ask for the resignation of the "conspirators" against him.
    Mansfield explained that an elected official could be removed from office for conviction of a crime or by a special recall petition which would be circulated by a resident and filed after it contained signatures of 25 registered voters.
    Contractor Keith Walker notified the council that West Street is only partially worked and is unsafe for public travel. They decided the street should be barricaded until such time as money is available.
    A letter from the State Sanitary Authority advised the council should admit no major annexations because of overloaded sewage treatment facilities. The letter said isolated applications for service within the city might be approved.
    Mrs. Geraldine Schmelzer asked the city council about the money owed the town by Mr. Ron Pitts for hooking in Christian Acres to the water and sewer. She got no definite answer.
    mayor Brittsan suggested that the City drop City Attorney services as the cost had exceeded the budgeted amount. Council pointed out that $500 had been spent on one case involving the City (an expenditure approved by the council) and that they felt the City should retain the attorney.
    (Editor's Note) Our city council was voted to its position by you, the people of Talent. They were elected because the people believed these men would protect their rights and that is what our council is trying to do. They want you to know what is going on and how much money is spent and what it is spent for. They believe that the growth of this town should continue on a sound basis but not explode as it is now doing.
    Let us look at our councilmen: Ed Lunsford has been in Talent for 18 years. He believes in fairness to the people and in protecting their rights; Jiggs Conner believes in keeping the town on an even keel, keeping expenditures where they belong and the people informed of t he workings of Talent's governing body. John Tompkins has lived in Talent for some years and believes in progress but within our means; George Gleim, born and raised in Talent, wants fairness to the council and to the people; John Seymour has been around for a long time and wants things to go right; Lucky Gilbreath has served on the council for several years. Lucky has never come out with his beliefs, but we do know he has been a good councilman. He was the only one of the six to vote against dismissing the mayor. All these men are property owners in Talent and most have businesses in town.
    This old town has been here for a long time. It's even older than Muddy Forks, but in all my time I have never seen the town in such a degree of bankruptcy.
    We do not believe in one man rule, and if the mayor is retained I hope the city council will remain intact so the people of Talent will have some degree of information and representation.--E.M.L.

SWEDISH CUSTOM IS PART OF PHOENIX SCHOOL EVENT
    A holiday custom observed in all of Sweden, Santa Lucia Day, was re-enacted here during the Phoenix High School band and chorus program Dec. 16 in the school gymnasium
    Miss Anna Larsson, an American Field Service student who lives at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Donald McGeary, Phoenix, wore a traditional crown with seven candles and led a procession of 20 other young women students from the school. Each carried a lighted candle. As they entered and formed a circle in the room, the group sang a Swedish song which is a part of the custom. Miss Larsson then explained the observance.
    The oldest daughter in each Swedish family is the Santa Lucia queen and just as Miss Larsson did, they each wear a long white robe with the crown. Early in the morning of Dec. 13, the queen awakens her family and serves them warm Lussekake buns and coffee. The buns, which are sweet and light, are made especially for the occasion. Marked with a crossed X, a symbol which is thought to have originated in pre-Christian times, the buns are flavored with either saffron or cardamom. Both are favorite spices for Swedish Christmas sweets.
    Mrs. McGeary prepared some of the buns for the observance held in the McGeary home last week. In the morning, Miss Larsson and the McGeary's daughter Marcia, according to the tradition, awakened Dr. and Mrs. McGeary to serve them the buns and coffee. The AFS student is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Karl Larsson, Saffle, Sweden, and she is their eldest daughter.

    Recipe for Lussekake follows:
One cup milk; 1 teaspoon ground cardamom; 2 Tablespoons grated orange peel; ¾ cup sugar; one teas. Salt; ½ cup soft shortening; 2 pkgs active dry yeast; ¾ cup warm water, 105 to 115 degrees; 5½ cups flour (about); two eggs slightly beaten; ½ cup seedless raisins; ½ cup chopped walnuts. Heat milk to scalding point. Remove from heat. Add sugar, salt and shortening. Stir until shortening melts. Cool to lukewarm, 98 degrees. Sprinkle yeast on warm water in large bowl. Stir to dissolve. Add milk mixture. Add 3½ cups flour. Beat until smooth. Beat in eggs, raisins and walnuts.
    Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn out on lightly floured board. Cover with bowl and let rest 10 min. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 min. Place in highly greased large bowl. Turn to bring greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place, 85 degrees, free from drafts, until double in bulk, one to 1½ hours. Punch down.
    Turn out on lightly floured board. Roll 1/3 of dough into 10 inch square. Cut in half to make 2 rectangles 10 by 5 inches. Cut each rectangle crosswise into 12 strips. Roll each strip into pencil thin strip, 6 inches long. On lightly greased cookie sheet, cross two strips to make an X. Curl each end into small coil. Place a raisin in center of each coil.
    Repeat until all of dough is used. Cover. Let rise in warm place until double in bulk, about 50 min. Bake at 400 degrees 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter or margarine. Cool on wire racks. Makes 36 buns.

LIGHT THE WAY TO YOUR HOME THIS CHRISTMAS
WITH PAPER SACKS AND CANDLES
    In Albuquerque, N.M., persons light up their city employing paper sacks and candles. It is so beautiful more than 30 buses  are needed to handle the visitors that pour in from neighboring states to see the spectacle.
    During the holidays, the city is called the Luminaria City. Millions of paper sacks are lighted by single candles inside. They are called luminarias or farolitas after the Spanish who originated the custom.
    Entire neighborhoods go together to "light the way for the lost Christ Child" as the Spanish tradition goes. The lights give the appearance of golden lanterns when spaced about 3 feet apart on the edges of sidewalks, flat roofs and beside steps.
    New Mexicans have decorated their homes at Christmas with luminaria for about 300 years. About 2 inches of sand or dirt is placed in each sack and the top of the sacks are folded down one time. Inside the sack goes a votive candle which burns about two hours.

    At a special council meeting Tuesday night, Keith Walker presented a bill for $499.95 as payment in full for work done on West St. This includes granite covering and grading still to be finished.

"With the record number of deaths that have already occurred on the highways and with still one more holiday yet to add to the toll, 1965 will go in the records as the worst year in history for Oregon traffic fatalities," said Chief of Police Charles Roberts.
    Chief Roberts went on to urge all Talent residents to exercise caution and good sense in New Year's driving. The New Year's Eve period sees many people driving to entertainment spots to see the New Year in, then trying to drive home in the wee hours of the morning, still under the influence of the celebration drinks they had. With a reading of just .10% alcohol in the blood stream, a person is considered to be impaired to some degree. Add fatigue, bad weather conditions, speed and many other drivers who are not alert and the combination is deadly, he said.
    Roberts also noted that with the New Year, an implied consent law will take effect in Oregon. This law provides that refusal to consent to a breath test when requested to take one by a police officer is grounds for driver license suspension. The driver must first have been arrested for driving while under the influence of liquor.

EARLY AMERICAN HOUSEHOLD REMEDIES
    Wildcat…The grease of the wild cat is sovereign for all manner of aches and shrunk sinews. Osprey--the beaks of the osprey excel for the toothache, picking the gums therewith till they bleed. Wolf…A black wolf's skin worn as a coat helps old aches in old people. Alder…For a knee bruise or cut, the Indian chews alder bark and places the bark on the wound which heals it. It is also excellent to take the fire from a burn. White birch bark, boiled, is used for the same purpose. Pine…Board pine yields a very sovereign turpentine for the curing of desperate wounds.--By John Josselyn, 1672.

    In 1953, this wish which we repeat below appeared in the Mail Tribune:
    A New Year bows into a world that prays for peace and hopes for a new era of understanding among mankind. May 1953 (1966) see these prayers granted, these hopes fulfilled…and leave the world the better for its coming.
    This is t he wish of the staff of the TALENT NEWS FLASHES.

DRIVE CAREFULLY NEW YEAR'S EVE--NEW YEAR'S DAY--AND EVERY DAY IN 1966. We do not want our friends to be traffic fatalities.--MAL
