News About Books
From the Library
With an important capital im
provement program to be de
cided by tiie voters of Medford
at the coming election, with a
notable revival of local interest
in city and county planning,
two volumes recently added to
the Medford Public library
should be of special interest.
Whether what worries you
about your town is the school
shortage, the agony of fighting
traffic, the exasperating lack of
parking. "Community Planning"
tells you how other towns have
found cures for the same com
plaints. City planning is not the
speculative art of producing
imaginary cities, according to its
editor. Herbert L. Marx Jr., but
basically a salvage operation.
Planners take conditions as they
are and attempt to guide future
growth so as to eliminate exist
ing problems and to avoid fore
seeable new ones.
Chapters on Parks
Included in tins volume are
chapters on parks, public trans
portation, annexation. A chap
ter of interest is that on the
parking problem, written by
Charles T. McGavin, chief of the
technical staff of the District of
Columbia Motor Vehicle Park
ing Agency, who tells how Wash
ington, D.C., in six years made
a net gain of 18,000 off-street
parking spaces and caught up
with the growth in traffic.
He makes the interesting com
ment that there are now enough
cars in the United States to seat
every one of its inhabtants at
the same time one car for
every 3Vi persons.
Carol Aronovici, one of Amer
ica's foremost authorities on
community planning, writes on
"Community Building" as a
icience, a technique, and an art.
She sees our expanding tech
nology not as a threat to individ
ual life but as an encouragement
to cooperative effort. Feeling
that a constructive balance must
be reached between the profes
sional planner and a well-in-
, formed body of laymen, she in-!
j eludes in her book chapters on j
the city planner as technician
' and as humanist.
'Other Subjects j
Other subjects covered are i
j zoning, finance, the law as it
I affects planning, the uses of
I land, and the road. (This book
was donated to the library by !
the American Legion Post 15,
! as a memorial to the late Dia- i
: mond L. Flynn, former mayor
nf Merifnrrf i
An interesting review of the
history of town planning since
the days when towns were plan
ed for kings and dukes is pre
sented by one of the library's
older books, "Your City To
morrow", by Guy Greer. The
author's emphasis, however, is
on what can be done here and
now in the United States to
cope with urban conditions and
problems. In conclusion he
paints an inspiring picture of
what the-city of the future can
be, if we wish to make it so.
Streamflow Said
Above Prediction
Spring and summer stream
flow has generally equalled or
slightly exceeded the much-above-average
flows predicted
last' April, according to the U. S.
Department of Agriculture soil
conservation service.
The USDA 1956 fall water
supply summary stated the irri
gation season of 1956 in Oregon
has been one of abundant to sat
isfactory water supplies except
on some smaller streams which
are not tributaries with high ele
vation watersheds.' This is in
contrast to the serious water
shortage of last year.
Water storage in most Oregon
reservoirs is currently well
above the usual amount of car
ryover held for the following
Top Herds, Cows
Listed in DHIA
R. L. and Blanche Wyant
owned a herd of 35 cows which
rated first in the top five herds
in the September summary of
the Jackson County Dairy Herd
Improvement association.
The herd produced an aver
age of 719 pounds of milk with
an average butterfat of 41.1.
There were six dry cows.
Other top herds were owned
by E. B. Poyer, whose 12 cows
produced an average of 723
pounds of milk with 39.2 pounds
of butterfat; M. B. Caster, 31
cows, 874 pounds milk, 37
pounds butterfat; Cliff and Vel
ma Moore, 21 cows, 656 pounds
of milk, 36.3 pounds butterfat;
and Glenn and Edna Chase, 24
cows, 872 pounds of milk, 35.9
pounds butterfat.
Top individual cow, Cinderel
la, was owned by Richard and
Elizabeth Westerberg. The cow
produced 1,107 pounds of milk
with an average of 88.6 pounds
of butterfat. She was in milk
121 days.
Other top cows were owned
by J. E. Parsons, P. K. kelson
the Wyants, Clarence and Sadie
Williams, the Chases, Ruth Wy
ant, and Gilman's Dairy farm.
ATHLETIC NOTE
Buffalo, N.Y. (U.R) Mem
bers of the Country Club of
Buffalo decided the long climb
up the stairs to the clubhouse
terrace and locker rooms was
too arduous after 18 holes. A
cable car was installed to lift
weary golfers the 45 feet to the
terrace.
season, the summary said. Pres
ent storage in 25 reservoirs is
123 per cent of the average
(1938-52) compared with last
season when it was 66 per cent
of average.
Watershed soils are generally
average to a little above average
in moisture content. Coupled
with normal fall rains and an
average mountain snow cover,
water supplies for next season
should be satisfactory, according
to the report.

NEW POST OFFICE Jacksonville's new
post office building, at 204 East California St.,
is now complete, inside and out, since the in
stallation of fixtures last week. The building
was finished last June, but customer boxes.
sorting tables and other fixtures in use since
then, were one from the old post office, and
were 30 years old, according to postmaster
Leon Matheny. The Jacksonville post office is
now rated as second class.

"NEW FANGLED" BOXES Jacksonville
residents had to get used to the new dial-type
boxes installed in the post office building last
week. A total of 300 boxes, which open like a
small safe, were installed. The building will
accommodate an additional 200 when needed.
Above, postmaster Leon Matheny helps
George Bish, 78-year-old Jacksonville resi
dent, figure out the combination to his box.
Red Cross Disaster
Plan Aided by Funds
From United Crusade
(Editor's note: This Is an
other in series of articles
concerning agencies served
through contributions to the
United Medford Crusade).
In the million dollar Christ
mas flood last year, Medford
was virtually isolated, schools
were closed, bridges washed out,
and more than 100 families were
evacuated along Rogue river.
The Jackson county chapter
of the Red Cross swung into ac
tion and basic necessities of
food, clothing, shelter, and med
ical aid were provided immediately.
Disaster Plan
Less than four months pre
viously. Red Cross had an
nounced completion of its dis
aster plan with 300 volunteers
trained to participate in the
program in either natural or
war-caused disaster.
The local Red Cross chapter
was designated the official flood
relief agency, handling funds
from National Red Cross and
channeling federal amergency
monies.
In the weeks that followed
the disaster, family rehabilita
tion continued. Provisions for re
building and repairing homes
and business establishments and
replacement of household fur
nishings and other rehabilita
tion needs were made.
These took the form of out
right, non-reimbursable cash
grants, purchase orders for fur
niture and necessities, and low
interest loans from other agen
cies. In Rogue River 175 families
and businesses were aided, and
in Shady Cove, 107.
Expenditure Excess
In Jackson county alone the
expenditure was in excess of
$114,705.00.
By building and maintaining
a strong organization across the
nation the Red Cross is able to
achieve, in an emergency, what
could scarcely be done in an iso
lated community.
Out of each dollar for dis
aster invested in Red Cross, five
cents goes for administration
costs, 20 cents to emergency
funds, and 75 cents to rehabili-.
tation.
