Meeker Me morial chapel in the First Meth odist church will be dedicated on Mothers' Day, May 13, church officials have announced. Completion of the chapel, made possible by a memorial gift from Mrs. C. A. Meeker, is an other step in a building and ex pansion program launched in 1950 and extended at the 17th anniversary last November. In 1952 a large addition to the educational facilities of the church was placed in use. Fur ther projects planned include establishment of a youth center and a new parsonage. Active in Church The late Mr. Meeker had been an active member of the First Methodist church for more than 50 years when he died in 1948. He was the son of the founder of the M & M Department store, and owned and operated the store until his retirement in 1937. In 1940, he was elected to the Medford city council, and in 1942 he was elected mayor, serving the office until his death. Mr. Meeker was one of the organizers and the first teacher of the Shipmates Adult class at the First Methodist church and the class, which will meet in the new chapel, contribued toward its furnishings. Many other in dividuals and groups have co operated in making the chapel possible. Mission- Design ' : The chapel is of Spanish mis sion design, conforming to the general architecture of the First Methodist church. The wood paneling of the chancel, the pul pit, communion table, and pews are of oak, as are the doors and mouldings. Four double windows of ca thedral glass in oak sash diffuse the light. A Baldwin Acrosonic Organ, the gift of the Council choir of the church, has been in stalled. The entire chapel is car peted wall-to-wall. Memorial gifts within the chap el include the hanging cross, in memory of Teresa Susal Rolls; the candlesticks, flower vases, and offering plates in memory of Mrs. Helen Ruegger: red leather- bound pulpit Bible in memory of Ralph G. Furch; gold baptismal bowl, in memory of Linda Karen Wagner; and 25 hymnals in mem ory of Alice F. Spraguer. The chapel, which seats 80 persons, has been especially planned for baptismal .wedding, and funeral services. In addition to being used by an adult class on Sunday morning, it will be used by the high school Metho dist Youth Fellowship for eve ing services. Electronic instal lations make it possible to con nect it directly wtih the main auditorium of the church.

Hiway 99 Just Beyond Big Y Lots of Parking 20-Year Plan for New State Parks AnnouncedinSalem Salem (U.R) A 20-year plan released by the Oregon State Highway Department calls for addition of at least 2,350 acres of new parks to the system by 1975. This acreage would be added to the more than 56,000 acres now in the system and would handle an anticipated 13,500,000 users of Oregon parks by 1975. C. H. Armstrong, superintend ent of state parks, said it was difficult to tell how many per sons would be using state parks by 1975 but he thought that pop ulation trends, automobile own ership figures and other statis tics would back his prediction. Vacation Selections According to the report, Ore gon and Wyoming rank eighth in the nation in the public's pre ference when inquiries were made as to which state people would select to visit on their vacations. Armstrong said that especial ly since 1950, the park system had been extensively improved. He said more than 6,800,000 per sons used parks in 1955 as com pared to about 2,150,000 in 1948. Largest acreage acquisitions under the plan would be along the Oregon coast where Arm strong said 910 acres of new park land would be required by 1975. He said some 240 acres should be acquired in the Portland area, 535 acres in the Willam ette valley, 125 acres in south west Oregon, 140 in central Ore gon and 220 in eastern Oregon.
