EIGHT BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE REMODELING PLAN I School Now Has 250 More Pupils Than Built For PTA Given Tentative Data Declaring that Medford Junior high school 1 now caring for almost 750 pupils in a building constructed to handle 500, E. H. Hcdrick, superintendent of city schools, outlined for patrons some of the plans being consider ed for renovation, remodeling and repair of the building at a meeting of the Junior high school Parent-Teacher association Fri day night. Hedrlck stated that while no forma' plans had been consider ed by the school board yet, he had gathered together tentative plans and ideas at the requ -l of school patrons who are much concerned over the crowded con dition of the school. Work Needed The superintendent stated that since nj extensive repairs or up keep had been possible luring the war, all the buildings of the system needed work, but that Junior high school apparently needed remodeling and renova tion more than any of the others. Junior high school should be painted inside and out, re-roofed and alterations made to the light ing fjtem the upc -Intondont said, pointing out that the build ing, constructed 20 ycara ago, was out-dated in some respects and no longer meets standards set for such schools. Traffic Problem One of the school's main prob lems is "traffic," Hedrlck said, since poorly plani.ed hallways, entrances, stairs and ramps will not now accommodate the flood of students between classes and at dismissal times. Suggested plans for additions to the build ing include a larger gymnasium, new combined cafeteria and study hall, new library quarters, band and orchestra practice rooms, new cooking equipment for home economics classes and improvements to the heating sys tem, the superintendent stated.

VseoRut BARKER TO GAIN STORE SPACE IN REMODELING PLAN Extensive remodeling of the Fluhrcr building now underway will result in approximately twice the space for Barker's store, which will eventually oc- j cupy the entire corner section of the building ana a new I: omont department, it was announced to day by Wm. Bark.., proprietor of the store and Wm. H. Fluhrer, owner of the building. It was stated that this is the first of a serif of remodeling plans for the building. Barker stated that the wall will be removed between his present quarters and the space formerly occupied by the Sand wich Bar and the entire space modernized for display and sales of his stock of men's clothing. The -basement department will then be devoted to a full line of boys' clothing, and he plans' to add a line of men's shoes as well. The remodeling will give Barker about 2975 square feet of space for the two departments. - To Rebuild Exterior The exterior of the store will also be rebuilt, Barker stated, and one of the new "eleatic eye" glass doors, which open automatically with the approach of a cust ner, will, be installed. This will be the first such door Installed by any business in southern Oregon, it was said. Marshall O. Bessonetle is the contractor In charge of the work:. At present men are enlarging the basement and a small con veyer has been rigged to carry the dirt from the basement exca vation to trucks in the alley. In the neighborhood of $15,000 will be expended on the remodel ing, Barker stated. Adventist Lecturer Credits Scientists For World Paradox "We have reached the great est paradox of all time," said G. A. Thompson, in his lecture last night at the Sevcnth-Dny Ad ventist church. "Science has al ready done marvels In transform ing all departments of life, and this is but a foretaste of what is promised in the immediate fu ture. Then suddenly the atomic bomb is exploded, which threat ens to obliterate civilization. The only possible defense against this demon of destruction is for the nations to outlaw war. Then science promises to harness this prodigious power and use it only for beneficent purposes. Thus we are standing on the thresh- hold of a new era; Which will it be the demolition of the last vestage of civilization? or the golden age of man? Only God can answer this question. This He has done in the prophecies of the Bible," Mr. Thompson said. Here Mr. Thompson cited prophecies of four of the leading cities of ancient trmcs, each de cidedly different from the others. Then he called attention to the liternl fulfillment in each case He said, "These examples dem onstrate how definite, accurate, and reliable are Bible prophe cies."
