School District Land
Transfer is Rejected
By Boundary Board
Jackson County's Rural School i vantages of Medford police and
District Boundary board unani-i fire protection.
mously disallowed a petition byi Tell Reasons
residents of the country club and
golf course area to transfer
207.0S acres from Lone Pine
School district (No. 10) to Med
ford district (No. 49) at a pub
lic hearing held last week, ac
cording to Alf Mekvold, board
secretary.
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-

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.

SOFT DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE STAINS
With warm weather here, there's hardly a family in the land that
won't be drinking either soft drinks or alcoholic drinks of some kind.
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.
