Resurfacing Main Runway to Start ' Central Heating company of lugene will complete resurfac ing of the main runway at the Medford airport starting Tues day, according to Vern Thorpe, director of public works. About 3,580 feet of runway was resurfaced, last year but the operation was' not completed because of insufficient funds in the CAA federal aid program account. Thorpe said. About 1, 820 feet of runway remains to be resurfaced, he said. The contract was awarded to Central Heating company about a month ago on a bid ot $4i, 195.50. The project should be com pleted in five or six days Thome said. During the opera tion the main runway will be closed and air traffiq will use the cross runway, he adde.

Edward Stevens, 3672 South Pacific highway, who sold 32 lots in the Garfield sub division area, is financing the paving and sewer and water main installation in that area Ike's Photo To Grace GOP Convention Program San Francisco (U.R) A picture of President Eisenhower vill grace the cover of the GOF National Convention program instead of a picture showing three nude men in a state of despair. The substitution came about at the insistence of Mayor George Christopher, who felt the three-some was hardly ap propriate to a gathering with the theme, "Peace, Progress and Prosperity." Here's a good idea to remember for vour vacation trip: Kellogg'a . All-Bran. All-Bran, you know, helps avoid irregularity due to lack of dietary bulk. And so often on a trip we eat dif ferently and don't get the bulk we need (the gentle roughage that helps keep us regular). Take a box of All-Bran with you, or ask for it in the new aluminum foil "Individ ual" packages at restaurants along the way. JhM0MJ IS " early th oomin is year!
