A contract was awarded the

Creating Funds
The council also adopted ordi
nances creating funds for the
projects.
An ordinance ordering con
struction of a sanitary sewer
trunk line in southeast Medford
along Barnett rd., was passed.
The project was referred to the
finance committee to determine
proper method of assessment.
The council also passed an
ordinance ordering the paving
of Modoc ave. from East Main
st. to Woodlawn dr. upon the,
recommendation of the street
committee.
An ordinance was adopted ap
proving plans and specifications
for paving West 12th st. from
Fir st. to the Southern Pacific
railroad tracks.
H. B. Murphy of the Pinnacle'
Packing company was granted
permission to blacktop an 8 by
200 foot area along Evergreen
st. near 11th st. and to lower
the curb at 11th and Fir sts. to
provide o-street parking facilities.
B3trict Parking
The council also passed an
ordinance restricting parking on
the east side of South Riverside
nve. According to City Manager
Robert Duff large trucks and
trailers parking along the curb
on South Riverside ave. at the
public utilities office at the Bar
nett rd. intersection has been
creating a hazard by blocking
vision. I
Vehicles entering Riverside at
this point do not have sufficient
sight distance when large ve
hicles are parked in this loca
tion. Duff said. The state high
way commission will furnish
signs restricting parking.'
The council also passed an
ordinance authorizing removal
of the parking meter on East
Main st. at the southeast corner
of East Main and Almond sts.
Duff said removal of the meter
will permit a better flow of
traffic at the intersection. At
peak traffic periods it is some
times necessary for traffic to
wait for almost an entire cycle
for the one vehicle to make a
left turn to Hawthorne ave., he
said.
An ordinance that the east and
west alley between Main st. and
Sixth st. from Grape to Holly
sts. be designated as a one-way
alley was adopted. A request for
the change was received by the
council from property owners
abutting the alley.
A better flow of vehicular
traffic and improved pedestrian
safety were given as the reasons
for the change. The traffic en
gineer recommended the request
be granted.
The council also passed a
resolution authorizing the city
treasurer to invest $250,000 of
city funds in U.S. treasury certi
ficates. The funds will not be
used by the city for more than
six months.

Subgroup Meetings
On Teacher Agenda
At Portland Conclave
. Portland (U.R) A host of sub
group and committee meetings
were on the agenda for today
as the National Education Asso
ciation conveniton readied itself
for tomorrow's final sessions and
action on resolutions and the
election of national officers.
Resolutions ranging from
stands on integration to teacher
rest periods have been prepared
for presentation before the final
business session of the largest
teacher organization in the na
tion tomorrow.
One stand by the convention
already was concrete. The group
strongly favored some form of
federal aid to the nation's public
schools.
To Ask Special Message
Delegates yesterday unani
mously voted to ask President
Eisenhower to go to congress
with a special message aimed at
securing federal funds for edu
cation. The legislative commission of
the association drafted a tele
gram to the president, calling
for his personal intervention.
The some 5000 official delegates
also heard James L. McCaskill.
Washington, D.C., secretary of
the legislative commission, tell
them to lay down a barrage of
telegrams to Washington, urging
their congressmen to -support
the Kelley bill, tentatively
scheduled for action on the
house floor, today.
McCaskill expressed the hope
that the $1,500,000,000 bill
which provides federal grants
for school building construction,
would be passed by this session
of Congress, despite an anti-
segregation amendment that has
been attached to the bill.
In other action yesterday, the
convention chose Philadelphia as
the site for next year's 95th an
nual meeting and centennial
year of the NEA.
William G. Carr, executive
secretary of the association,
warned that if a bill providing
federal aid to education does
not get through Congress this
year ,the subject will be a major
campaign issue in the November
elections.
John Lester Buford, president
of the Association, addressed the
group last night in what was the
convention s second general as
sembly. Buford pointed out that
teacher's salaries have increased
to a level of respectability and
cited many items other than
money, in which teachers are re
warded for their work.
Mrs. Rollin Brown, Los An
geles, president of the National
Congress of Parents and Teach
ers, was another featured speak
er at last night's general assembly.
