PUBLIC OPINION
BEDFORD, IND., TIMES-MAIL
* Findings of a national public
opinion poll on reduction of fed­
eral spending in preference to
a tax increase are hardly sur­
prising. In the first nationwide
p o l l taken s i n c e President
Johnson’s State of the Union
Message, the public favored
reduced spending and no tax
Increase by a 13-1 margin....
(this) would leave little doubt
it seem s to us, that congress­
men and senators would be doing
the popular thing in voting for
reduction in expenditures and
against any tax Increase at this
time.*

The eight week long battle
between the teams, The Ghastly
Girls and The Beastly Boys
ended on Saturday, August 12th
with The Ghastly Girls as win­
ners.
A weekly score was kept on
two counts with the girls winning
both.
The 1967 Summer Reading
Program at the Central Point
L ib r a r y theme was “Be a
Reading Giant*. A total of 248
girls and 189 boys signed a
contract to read at least ten
books during the eight week
period.
Many of the team members
failed to fulfill their contract.
S o m e o f th e
rea so n s
were vacations, other activities
and some have moved away.
Some of the team members
joining were from outside the
Central Point area. They were
from Medford, Gold Hill, White
City, Sams Valley, Jackson­
ville, Glendale, Oregon, several
places in California and three
from Wyoming. At the last but
not final count a total of 219
children finished.
Due to lack of funds at the
beginning of the program no
parade or party was planned for
this year. We have been assured
of the necessary funds for next
summer by a Central Point
group.
This year each one who com­
pleted reading the required ten
books will receive an Oregon
p o lis h e d
stone, a reading
certificate signed by Mr. Omar
Bacon, director of the Medford
and
Jackson County Public
Libraries and ticket to one of the
Medford Giants baseball games.
During the summer months
852 books were borrowed from
the H. P. Jewett Elementary
school and 511 books from the
C e n tr a l
P o in t J u n io r
High School libraries for a total
of 1363. A list of the books
were made at the Central
Point Public Library plus a new
card for each book. These books
were in constant use. At the
present time the staff at the
Central Point Public Library
are engaged in mending torn
pages, erasing pencil marks and
cleaning th e c o v e r s of each
book. The books will be returned
to the schools this month and
replaced
on
their library
shelves In correct order.

Mountles in red coats who al­

The locale of Expo 67 and other

such thoughts as these; , our

Eight Oregon cities received

according to word from the AAA
the plant goes into operation
in 1975. Probably effects of
heated effluent on fishery
resources also will be sum­
marized from available infor­

Details of the study will be
submitted for comment and
suggestions to all of the public
agencies involved with water
quality and fishery matters in­
