MEMORIAL CHAPEL
Dedication Planned
Dedication of Chapel
Planned Mother's Day
The Clarence A. 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.
Communist Jets Fly
Over West Germany
Bonn, Germany (U.R) A
group of Communist Czechoslo
vak MIG jet fighters flew over
the border into West Germany
Friday but were chased back by
U. S. Air Force planes, a West
German government spokesman
said Saturday.-
The spokesman said between
two and six MIGS crossed the
border at an altitude of about
30,000 feet and penetrated Ger
man territory to a depth of ZVt
miles. He said no protests were
planned since the border viola
tion was considered accidental.

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.
