Historical Society
To Seek Expert as
Temporary Curator
A Southern Oregon Historical
society committee last evening
voted to ask the Oregon Histor
ical society to lend the tempo
rary services of an experienced
curator for activation of the
Jacksonville museum.
The committee, according to
Chairman Robert Dodge, re
alizes that the work of receiv
ing, cataloguing, labeling and ar
ranging display of the many
items to be exhibited in the mu
seum should be supervised by a
person with experience and
training in that field. Setting up
a system for a certain amount of
bookkeeping and other clerical
work will also be involved,
Dodge pointed out.
All of these considerations, he
stated, led the committee to de
cide that the best solution would
be to seek the temporary serv
ices of an accredited curator. It
is believed that such a man can
be secured through the state so
ciety without more expense than
would be involved in trying to
accomplish the task with un
trained local aid.
Dodge stated further that se
lection of a permanent curator
will be made from the list of
Jackson county applicants as soon
as possible after the museum be
comes a going concern. It is also
planned that the permanent cur
ator work for a time with the
state society man to gain training.

Residents Agree
On Soil Saving
A number of residents of the
Sams Valley, Beagle, Table Rock
and Meadows communities met
last night at the Sams Valley
school to consolidate their ef
forts in the interests of a soil
conservation district in that area.
Petitions have been circulated
for the past several weeks and
far more than the necessary 25
signers have been obtained. Ad
ditional signatures will be
sought, however, before the peti
tions are filed with the state soil
conservation committee next
Tuesday. The committee must
schedule hearings in that area
within 60 days after the petition
is filed.
Tentative boundaries that
were set last night would create
a soil conservation di-strict cov
ering more than 50.000 acres in
the northwest portion of the
county. The district would be
bounded on the south and east
by the Rogue river and the north
boundary would extend west
into the upper reaches of the
Evans valley to a point almost
directly north of Gold Hill.
George Loftin. a Sams Valley
rancher who has initiated the
soil conservation movement in
that area, said he had encoun
tered practically "Yio opposition
to the plan in any of the four
communities.

Ex-Medford Man
Gets Army Praise
Philip H. Lounsberrv. former

a civilian citation for work per-
lormea tor the united States
army, it was learned here this
week.
Lounsberry, the son of Mrs.
George Lounsberry, 331 North
Ivy street, was formerly circula
tion manager of The Mail Trib
une. He is now a civilian em
ployee of the army in Los An
geles. The citation was for meri
torious civilian service and out
standing performance of duty.
and was signed by Lt. Gen. A. C.
Wedemeyer, commanding gen
eral of the sixth army,
lt said:
'For meritorious performance
of duty as administrative assist
ant. U. S. army and U. S. air
force southern recruiting dist
rict, Los Angeles, California,
from July 1949 to October 1949.
His unfailing devotion to duty,
superior attention to details, and
outstanding efficiency in the
performance of assigned tasks
relating to fiscal and budgetary
matters, purchasing and con
tracting and civilian personnel
administration, were important
factors in the successful ac
complishment of the mission of
the southern recruiting district.'
Petitions Seek Merger
Of 2 School Districts
Petitions were filed today with
the Jackson county school dis
trict boundary board asking for
an election to pass on the con
solidation of the Missouri Flat
school district with the Apple
Bate district.
County School Superintendent
C. R. Bowman said approval of
the merger is almost a foregone
conclusion and that the election
would be routine. Missouri Flats
students have long been trans
ported to the Applegate school
on a tuition basis.
A date for the election has not
yet been set.
The case vitally affects stock
men in that area who would be
forced to provide all their herds
with herdsmen if the legality of
the herd district there is upheld.
