County Judge J. B. Coleman said that about 23 people at tended the hearing, with some 18 opposing the transfer from the Lone Pine district. Board Members Object Those objecting to the trans fer included several school board members. Grounds for op posing the transfer according to Mekvold, were based on the loss of $57,620 in assessed valuation if transferred, that at the pres ent time very few children were involved, and, further, that the Lone Pine district is already furnishing good education fa cilities, including transportation. Others appeared in support of the transfer, Mekvold pointed out. because it was felt that people living in the area would Drefer to send their children to Medford schools, and that in the future if the city boundary lines were to be changed to include the area it would have the ad- McLeod McLeod a surprise "blue and pink" shower was given recent ly at the home of Mrs. Donald Vaughn honoring Mrs. Emery Nve.

Mrs. Donald Vaughn, princi pal at grade school, took h I s graduating class on a picnic to Ashland park Monday, May 26, and all went swimming in the afternoon. After hearing arguments by both groups, the rural board drew up a resolution against the transfer, the secretary said, be cause it could not be justified on the basis of the welfare of the children Involved. The board has always adhered to the policy of using the welfare of the children involved as the principal criteria for determin ing its action, he said. The loss of the assessed valu ation would also work a definite hardship on district No. 10, and it was thought unwise to make any unnecessary boundary changes at this time because of the possibility of the pending state reorganization bill up for vote next November which, if passed, would change the boun dary lines, Mekvold explained. Earlier the same day, the board allowed a petition for the transfer of 6 acres from Ken wood district (No. 102) to the Medford district for a possible future school site for the Med ford district.' No one appeared at the hearing, with the transfer having the approval of the school boards in both districts. Cite Population Growth The acreage involved includes an area between Whittle avenue and the Old Crater Lake high way above the Roberts road. The approval was made by the board. Mekvold related, on the basis that the Medford school district felt that continued growth in that direction would make it necessary in the not too distant future to provide a school in the area. It was therefore necessary to acquire the property before any building took place on it, he added. . All board members were pres ent at the hearings, including Judge Coleman, Commissioners L. G. Morthland and Robert Lytle and County Schol Super intendent Mekvold, who is. the group's secretary.

From the standpoint of clothes, and the inevitable spilling and stain ing, a few words to the wise can help avoid serious consequences: SOFT DRINKS: All of the common soft drinks, such as the colas, root-beer, giner ale, and "pop" fall into the category of the "tannin like" stains. This means, of course, that stains caused by soft drinks art often invisible until heat is applied. Then the characteristic brown stain appears fixed for good. The same suggestions apply here that do for all 'tannin-like" stains. If the garment If washable, tpoitf ft out with clear water only. NEVER USE SOAP. And don't iron unttl absolutely sure all of the soft drink Is out. If the garment Is a dry cleanable one, DO NOTHING.No rubbing or wiping. And if you'll tell us where the stain is when you bring the garment in, we'll give it the special treatment such stains require. And don't let the garment sit around in the closet. Moths just love stains. ALCOHOLIC DRINKS. In general, the same precaution should be followed as with soft drinks. The one exception is that alcohol fre quently causes dyes to bleed off. There is, unfortunately, no real remedy for this, And so it follows that, with washable garments, you may take im mediate emergency treatment yourself. Naturally, the sooner after stain ing you do, the better. With dry cleanable garments we recommend that yenaj immediately bring them in for cleaning. In either case, the reason for quick action Is that In addition to reasons cited above the longer the stains stay on te fabric the more deeply imbedded they become in the fibers of th 'abric and, through aging, the more permanently fixed.
