Hearings Scheduled
For Street Paving
July 1 was get last night as
the date for public hearings on
even propospd city street pav
ing projects, at a regular meet
ing of the city council.
The streets Involved in the
hearings will be Bennett street,
from the end of the street to Cra
ter Lake avenue; Crown terrace,
from Oregon terrace to Berke
ley way; Welch street, from
Jackson street to the railroad
right-of-way; Haven street, from
Oak to Grape streets (two pro
jects); Taylor street from Myrtle
street to the end of the street,
and Keeneway drive, from Main
street to Wdodlawn drive.
Plans and specifications were
adopted by the council for all of
the paving Jobs except the two
Haven street projects.
Water Main Hearing
The council set July 15 for a
hearing on a trunk water main
on Jeanette street, from the
south city limits to Main street.
This project is a portion of the
citywide trunk water main sys
tem which was started in 1948.
Two street improvement peti
tions were received by the coun
cil. They were for paving of Ivy
street, from Melrose avenue to
uO'Gara street, and grade and
. gravelling of an alley between
Richmond and Groveland ave
' nues.
The council voted to cancel a
contract with L. N. Curtis and
Sons for a Maxim pump truck
iof the fire department. The city
had earlier entered into the con
tract on a conditional basis, with
delivery dependent on availabil
ity of funds for the truck. These
funds were not included in the
1952-53 budget.
Won't Participate
City Superintendent Robert
Duff was instructed by the coun
cil to notify the state civil de
fense direct or that the city does
not desire to participate in the
state agency's offer for fire hose
and miscellaneous equipment.
A contract for supplying phone
cable and other material for the
city's police-fire alarm system
was awarded to the Westing
house Electric company of Port
land. Three lots in Southerland Ter
race addition were removed
from the parks and playgrounds
system by the council. They are
located near the intersection of
Peach and 14th streets.
The first reading of an ordl-
nance governing advertising
signs was heard by the council.
Passage of the ordinance was op
posed by Councilman Paul Sel
by on the grounds that, although
the measure was "rather inclus
ive," it did not answer all ques
tions. By a 4 to 3 vote, the meas
ure was referred to the League
of Oregon Cities for the league's
comments.

Oregon college assumed their
new duties Monday at the op
ening of the summer session,
according to Dr. Elmo N. Stev
enson, college president.
Mrs. Elinor C. Saltus, assist
ant professor of education, has
succeeded Jeanette Smith as di
rector of the library of children's
literature. Mrs. Saltus studied
at the universities of North Da
kota, Illinois and Michigan. She
came to Southern Oregon from
a similar position at IndianapO'
lis.
John H. Waldo, instructor in
education, has also assumed res
idence as director of the men's
dormitory. He will conduct su
pervisory teaching at Jackson
ville this summer and will take
over a fourth grade class at Lin
coln Laboratory school next fall.
Waldo came to Southern Oregon
from a teaching position In the

CLUB BUYS BUS
Schenectady, N. Y. U.R)
Members of the Holiday club
now have their own bus, after
seven years. Since 1945 the 16
members have been tossing $2 a
week into the treasury. Their
dream came true when they
bought an Army surplus bus for
$500 and spent another $300 re
pairing it.
Visitors to Mexico can see
many baroque buildings in which
colored clay tile has been used
lavishly to wainscot interior

Garden Notes
By
C. B. CORDY
County Extension
Agent lor Horticulture
(Editor's note: This is one of
series of articles on garden
ing subjects, prepared for The
Mall Tribune by the Jackson
county agent for horticulture.
They will be carried weekly
during the gardening season.)
Last week's frost rather vivid
ly illustrated the difference be
tween frost-hardy and frost
tender plants. There was a great
deal of difference between the
severity of the injury, it varying
from almost complete killing to
a blackening of some of the tips.
The severity of the Injury will
determine in large part what
measures are necessary to cor
rect it.
Where the plants were com
pletely killed it would, of
course, be necessary to replace
them. In many cases the exposed
leaves on the sides, and particu
larly In the tops, were badly
wilted. Generally, however,
there were good buds still left
along the stems, and in a short
while they ' should send out
branches and will renew the top
more quickly than if the plants
are removed and replaced.
Dahlias Tipped
In the case of dahlias, most of
the tops were already of good
size and were about ready to be
tipped back to cause branching.
This tipping back is a recom
mended practice in order to in
crease the number of flower
bearing stems. In most cases the
frost beat us to it, but in actual
ity that is about all it accom
plished.
With most plants it is not de
sirable to remove any of the
damaged tissues because the
damaged areas are indefinite,
and in order to remove them all
it would be necessary to remove
some good growth. It would be
best just to leave the wilted
parts on and let the plant recov
er as best it can. In the case of
dahlias, however, where the
topping back is desirable any
how, it might be best to nip out
the damaged terminal growths.
These terminals are rather
fleshy and have generally only
been weakened instead of killed.
By cutting them back to good
buds it would remove all of the
area which would make weak
