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

more adjoining districts main

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 in 1953 were: (1) both dis-

Family Quarrel
Portland (U.R) Portland
Patrolman Raymond A. Road-

and head gashes and other in
juries early Saturday when he
was attacked and beaten during
a routine "family disturbance"
call.
Roadnight was taken to Em

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.

Board
tricts be annexed to Medford,
where many of the children were
attending school; (2) the two dis
tricts (Dewey and Kenwood)
combine and provide a standard
school; (3) the two districts join
Lone Pine to form one district;
and (4) divide the area of both
districts as logically as possible,
sending some children to Central
Point, some to Lone Pine and
some to Medford.
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.

Russell E. 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.
Mr. Eisenhower said the leg
islation will "put a stop to such
practices," and make possible
"sound management of the tim
ber resources of our public
lands."
