SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Disposition District Considered by The Jackson county boundary, board and members of Medford and Crater scnool district Doara Friday night discussed possible plans for the disposition of Ken wood school district. Kenwood is one of two sus pended school districts in Jack son county which are required by law to be annexed to one or more adjoining districts opera ting standards schools. The other district is Dewey. Suspended dis tricts are those in which school boards contract with adjoining districts to take children on a tuition basis. Requirement of Law A 1D53 law specifies that "whenever any duly organized school district . . . shall for any rfason cease to maintain and op erate a public school for two years from any annual school meetina, or suspends school for more han two successive years without approval of the State A LAXATIVE that really does you good! You probably know this about Kellogg's All-Bran : it's the original whole bran cereal, scientifically milled to bring you natural food bulk in its most effective and ap petizing form. But did you know this? Kellogg's All-Bran served with milk is a fine aid to fitness. This delicious, wholesome dish supplies 9 body-builders you need daily. Besides this, All-Bran can improve your "Intestinal Tone" (often below par when diets lack bulk), so essential to comfortable, regular elimination. So why not enjoy the natural benefits of these two fine foods, All-Bran and milk, for fitness and regularity? Be sure you get the original, the one and only, Kellogg's All-Bran'. It really works. Double your money back if a daily dish of All-Bran and milk doesn't have you on schedule within 10 days. That's a promise from Kellogg's of Battle Creek, Michigan.

The state law adds that the territory be "annexed to one or more adjoining districts main taining standard schools." Delayed by Case Disposition of Dewey and Ken wood districts has been delayed pending the ontcome of a circuit court case to test validity of the two-year time limit. Since two years have lapsed since the law was enacted, it is mandatory that the boundary board dispose of suspended districts. Both Kenwood and Dewey dis tricts are northeast of Medford. Kenwood district extends into a section of the city east of Bear creek near McAndrews rd. Two of four suspended dis tricts were disposed of in 1953. Colestine was annexed to Ash land and Derby consolidated with Butte Falls. Among possible solutions dis cussed with suspended district boards fcnd adjoining school boards in 1953 were: (1) both dis- Policeman Beaten When Called Into Family Quarrel Portland (U.R) Portland Patrolman Raymond A.

Roadnight was taken to Em manuel hospital where his con dition was described as serious but not critical. Leland Cramer 34, was held in jail on a charge of assault with intent to kill. Bail of $10, 000 was set by Police Chief Jim Purcell Jr. Police officers said Roadnight was called to the Cramer home about 4 a.m. on a report that a noisy disturbance had been in progress since early Friday night. He was told by Mrs. Cramer that her husband was next door at the home of his father, Harry E. Cramer. Cursed, Attacked When the patrolman got no response at the front door he started around the house and was met by Cramer who cursed and attacked him. Roadnight, stunned by the surprise attack, had his sap and flashlight wrest ed from him by Cramer who used them to strike the officer. Roadnight attempted to get his gun from its holster and in the futile effort fired five shots. This brought Sgt. Thomas Ma loney to the scene and prevent ed Roadnight from suffering a worse beating. Cramer was promptly taken into custody. Dead line Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday: 10 a.m. Monday for Monday: other days 5:30 previous day.

Alf B. Mekvold, county super intendent of schools and a mem ber of the boundary board, said disposition of the districts was carefully surveyed in 1953, and that the board expects to decide disposition as soon as possible so school districts affected could plan accordingly. Effective in 1956 Mekvold said any changes in district boundaries would not be come effective until July 1, 1956 and that the board intends "to work out the most reasonable solution possible." He said the board will consider "educational welfare, transporta tion facilities, travel routes, available school facilities, natu ral communities, financial sup port and the wishes of the people involved" before making any decision. Mekvold said children in the Grandview section of Kenwood district contract with Lone Pine on a tutition basis, and several children in the northwest sec tion of Kenwood district attend Central Point schools. Crowded Conditions Mekvold pointed out, however, that because of present crowded conditions at Lone Pine, the dis trict may not be able to take additional students. He said Grandview area residents have a secured a petition which they probably will submit to the boundary board requesting that their children go to Lone Pine. Mekvold said a public hearing would be held if the petition is submitted. The Medford district board has indicated a willingness to co operate with the boundary board and accepting districts or sec tions of districts assigned to Med ford, Mekvold said. Delayed By Bond Vote Action on disposition of sus pended districts was deferred in 1953, Mekvold said, while Med ford held a bond election and sale. He said changes in the boundaries at that time could have endangered acceptance of bonds. The suit filed to test validity of the f953 law contended tht the boundary board' could not; take action until after two years lapsed after the law became ef fective. Although the case has not been decided, the two years has lapsed. The attorney general previous ly issued an opinion that the law became effective immediately, and that districts which had not operated standard public schools for two years were to be con sidered abandoned. powerful message Living.

Ahlum, alias Robert Ike Signs Bill for Bonafide Mine Claims Washington . (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower has signed into law a bill prohibiting the filing of mining claims on public lands for purposes other than real mining. In a statement released by the White House the president said .the legislation is "strongly en dorsed" by both Interior Secre tary Douglas McKay and Secre tary of Agriculture Ezra T. Ben son. He said it is one of the "most important conservation measures affecting public lands that has been enacted in many years." He said that in recent years, thousands of mining claims have been filed on public lands, not for bonafide mining pur poses but to obtain claim or title to valuable timber, summer home sites, or grazing land.
