Fans May Throw Custard Pies At Wrestlers Ashland Fans who turn out to see real live Texas-style wrestling and to help the March of Dimes while being entertained this Friday night will also have a novel opportunity. A few pies will be auctioned off at the ringside after the main event of the three-ply card at the junior high gym under spon sorship of Ashland Lions club. Each pie purchaser will be permitted to stand before the wrestler of his choice and slap the pie in his face. The money from the pie auction will go to the March of Dimes along with the Lions' net from the matches. Yogi May Be Victim Predictions are that Yogi Hus sane, the terrible Turk, will collect most of the custard, par ticularly since fans in Medford have been informed of their legal opportunity. Hussane had the reputation of public enemy No. 1 last year for his tactics in Merrick's arena. Others on the card will in clude Lou Franco, the Roseburg western band leader; Ken Jones, Eugene logger and former Army champ, and Joe Hahn, who is with the, Portland fire depart ment.

The board met yesterday in committee sessions and held its regular meeting today. Dr. J. F. Cramer, president of Portland State, urged the board not to think of his school "as a fourth college of educa tion" in the matter of curricula. Dr. Kramer gave one or six summaries presented by presi dents of educational institutions at the annual curriculum session, Dr. Kramer said his faculty was concerned over the problem of building a curriculum within the allocation given it.

(U.R) One of the world's largest dredges was shipped here recently by the Utah Construction Co. to help complete an immense land reclamation project. Over a period of years the ma chine, named the "Franciscan" by workers at a Benecia, Calif., manufacturing plant who built it, will suck up and redistribute enough sand from the bottom of San Francisco Bay to fill in 390 acres of tidelands adjacent to this city. It is estimated by Utah en gineers that more than 11,000, 000 cubic yards of sand will be required to finish the job. The 207 -foot -tall dredging unit, built at a cost of $2,500,000, has a pivot arc of 350 feet and edges forward on the bay's sur face by burying its 36-inch suc tion pipe 50 feet into the under water soil. It progresses seven feet at a time. Rotating cutting teeth at the lengthy pipe's end loosen the earth, and it is then pulled up through the tube and transport ed 8,700 feet via another pipe line to where it is eventually de posited. The pumping rate main tained by the gargantuan soda straw is set at 2,000 cubic yards of sand an hour. All this is made possible by an 8,000-horsepower electric mo tor, operated by one man who sits high up on the dredge's side in a central control tower. The cost of running the sand-shifter's inner workings is $40,000 a month. Still another expense, plan ners say, will be to replace the tube through which the sand travels. Although it is forged of three-eights-inch thick steel, the sand's abrasive action is expect ed to wear out three of them by the time Utah fnishes the fill-in. COLLECT QUESTIONNAIRES Washington (U.R The Fish and Wildlife Service today was collecting questionnaires from sportsmen on waterfowl hunting.

Juvenile Court Advisory Committee Discusses Site A report on efforts of the county court to secure a site for he juvenile detention home, voted by the county in 1952, was made last night to the advisory committee of the Jackson county juvenile court. Bill Abbott, chairman of the committee, said the court as yet has been unable to find a suit able site for the home, although several pieces of property have been considered. Sites Impractical He reminded members that site requirements advised by the National Probation and Parole association make many suggest ed sites impractical. A "suffic ient property" should be avail able to insure adequate outdoor areas, isolation from neighboring property, and reasonable room for future expansion, according to a survey report made of the county by NPPA. It would also be best to locate the home away from delinquen cy areas and the local jail. It should be set back from public streets and conveniently near main roads to enable easy access. Mrs. Kay Crowell, county ju- Roundfable Discusses Off-Sfreef Parking City Councilman Don Hansen, chairman of the off-street park ing committee, led a discussion on the city parking problem at a Jackson County Chamber of Commerce roundtable luncheon yesterday. Alan Pierce presided and introduced Monte Stram, roundtable program director for the coming year. Hansen explained a proposal made recently to the Medford city council, which suggested an area be set aside for 170 me tered parking spaces to serve a 12-block area in the business district. He compared the local propo sals with solutions used in Cali fornia, where larger cities are provided with private enterprise parking facilities and smaller cities by public lots. John Pletsch, former presi dent of the chamber of com merce, told the groub he felt the city should study its charter, with the aim of keeping it up-to-date and making possible the best kind of city government, unhampered by an outdated charter. venile officer, gave the annual report" on juvenile department activities, vhich involved 428 children.
