TEN MEBFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tzlitr- January 11' 15' 25 Elementary Classrooms Needed in Medford by 1958 An estimated 25 elementary classrooms, and 8 or 10 more rooms at Medford High school will be needed by 1958 accord ing to a summary of the recent school census for 1957. The census taken during the latter part of October last year, showed an increase of 29.3 per cent in the number of children between 4 through 19 years old in the Meaford district. The size of the Increase, however, is largely due to the addition of Dewey, Oak Grove, West Side and a large portion of the Ken wood district during the year. The school board this week instructed Superintendent Leon ard Mayfield and his staff to establish the location, and kind of classrooms necessary to handle the anticipated increase the most economically. SchtduU Meetings Board members have sched uled a series of meetings with local architects interested in working on the project, and a schedule of studying trends in schoolhouse construction and of surveying recently, completed buildings has been organized by members. Available classrooms are now being used to near capacity in elementary schools, the board noted. With increased enroll ment in the first six grades, the recent census indicates that all elementary schools with the ex ception of Oak Grove and West Side will be crowded next school year, it said. Over-all enrollments indicate a shortage of 10 to 12 class rooms. However, the board pointed out that available rooms may be made to handle the in crease by adjustment of bound ary lines and by increasing the size of classes. By the start of the 1958 school year, the board anticipates an increase of an additional 350 400 students, creating a short age of about 25 classrooms. State standards call for class room averages of between 20 and 30 students, and averages anticipated for next year were obtained by using a high figure of 28 students to a room, the board said. Available figures indicated McLoughlm and Hedrick Jun ior High schools will be able to handle anticipated enrollment for the next several years, but Morifnrd Hieh school is at near capacity this year, school ad ministrators said. New additions at the high school, the board noted, enabled the staff to handle the current enrollment of 976 students. By increasing the class size and re assignment of rooms, the board anticipates that the estimated 1,100 students next school year can be handled. Capacity of the high school is rated at 1,000 students. Present facilities will be in adequate to handle an additional enrollment of 100 more students at the start of 1958 school year, the board said, and an estimated 8 to 10 rooms will be needed at that time. Present school population maps indicate that the largest student increase at the elemen tary level has occurred in the northeast and southeast sections of the district. The board said it is considering construction of two new elementary schools to serve those areas. One school would serve about 359 students in grades one through six, and the other would have an enroll ment of about 334 by 1958. Reliere Schools Construction of two new schools would relieve other crowded schools through reas signments. Figures are based on students who already live in the areas, and do not include any increases, the board noted. In order to provide needed classrooms by September, 1958, the board said it is necessary to start planning two years in ad vance. It normally takes about a year to have necessary bonds approved, and to prepare plans and accept them, and another year usually is required to con struct and equip the building for use. The proposed program, the board said, falls into the pattern of long range planning started by the board and administration when school sites were obtained and population increases and trends studied.

My husband has a roving eye. Carl M It's just an eye for beauty. Rose M. What can I do to keep my husband's eyes from roving to other women? We have been married 10 years and he has always been that way. ' I don't accuse Carl of having been unfaithful. I'm pretty sure he is loyal to me, but this habit of his annoys me no end. If we go out to a restaurant, he keeps looking around for the prettiest women and then points them out to me. He tells me I ought to wear my hair like such a wom an or I ought to have a dress like another. I'm considered a fairly attrac tive woman and I take great pains witn my appearance, i don't see why my husband should have this great interest in other women and I have told him I feel there is something very wrong with him psychologi cally. He should see a doctor. Carl M My wife is trying to make a case out of me when I am a perfectly normal man, who takes a natural interest in wom en. It just happens that I have an eye for beauty. I like to see at tractive women well dressed. I CAESAR MUZZIOLI ACCORDION SCHOOL Beginners and Advanced PHONE 2-689.7 FOR APPOINTMENT 517 NEWTOWN ST. am also interested in men's clothing, but my wife never no tices when I point out a well dressed man. Rose takes it as an insult when I point out those other women, but I don't mean they are necessarily more attractive than she is. I feel Rose is a very good-looking woman and I like to see her dress as well as pos sible. Rose goes into a sulky spell if she ever sees my glance wander away from her. It's so silly because, as she says, I am loyal to her and I have no seri ous interest in other women. The Council: Some men do have an obsessive interest in looking at other women or do it to hurt or spite their wives, but from both Rose's and Carl's statements, that doesn't appear to be true in this case. Rose is making too much of a thing out of it. If Carl points out a woman's dress or hairdo, it indicates he is conscious of style, rather than sex. Many men have this interest but, unlike Carl, try to squelch it because they feel it is unman ly. Carl's esthetic interest must be particularly strong and is a natural part of his personality. Since his marital conduct is evidently above reproach. Rose ought to feel flattered that a man with such a discriminating eye for beauty has chosen her. She, rather than Carl, seems to be somewhat obsessed by the idea there are other attractive women around. If she is sure of her husband's love, and she ap pears to be, she should try to lose this fear of other women and recognize the fact that other women's beauty doesn't detract from her own. Carl doesn't need to see a doc tor. Rose needs to gain confi dence in herself. (Copyright 1957.

Hollywood (U.R) Police USING DESCRIPTIONS given by Actress Marie McDonald, Artist John Maloney produces these sketches of pair she says abducted her from Encino, CaL home; presumably in $80,000 ransom attempt. (International Sovmdjihoto) Chief William H. Parker today appealed to the public for help in a wide search for the two zoot-suited men who allegedly kidnaped actress Marie McDon ald. ' Parker asked Southern Cali fornia residents to recall if any one sold turkey sandwiches to the two suspects last Friday or refueled an old model car used in the kidnaping. Miss McDon ald said she was given a turkey sandwich while held captive in a five-room house and later re membered the suspects stopping ior gasoline before being pushed out of the car in the desert.

She said the two men shoved her down in the back seat of the car when they stopped at a service station between here and Indio, Milk Price Increase Threatened at Close Of Dairy Convention Corvallis (U.R) Threat of a milk price increase was raised, here yesterday at the closing session of the convention of the Oregon Dairymen's Association. A resolution passed by dele gates promised support for any action taken by grade A milk producers to stop sale of milk to distributors who cut prices. Portland Boost Piomiied Lester Adams, manager of the Oregon Milk Producers Associa tion, said higher milk prices in the Portland area would be real ized as soon as his organization is strong enough to bargain for higher prices with distributors. Adams said producers hope to equalize milk prices over the state and that they are now low er in Portland than in other areas. Al Lindow of Portland was elected president of the association. Other officers named included Lawrence Geraghty, Klamath Falls, first vice president; Henry Hagg, Reedville, second vice president; Gordon Anderson, Corvallis, treasurer, and Harold Ewalt, Corvallis, secretary.

Proposal Approved Dairymen approved a legisla tive proposal which would tax all producers two cents a hun dredweight or one-half cent a butterfat pound for all milk pro duced monthly. This would re place a similar tax now on all milk produced during May and June. The Oregon Dairy Commission would use the same $214,000 re ceived to increase milk con sumption throughout the state. The tax would amount to about $3.50 a month per dairyman, ac cording to Executive Secretary Glen Lee, Dairymen passed a resolution calling -ior legislative action to strengthen the present law pre venting watering of milk. American Bridge Team Makes Gain New York (U.R) . The American contract bridge team staged a small gain on the Italians in the world tourna ment session which ended early today, but it was not enough. The front-running Italian team seemed assured of clinching the championship. With only 28 hands reraaiuing to be played in the tournament, which ends tonight, the Italians retained a lead of 7,980 points despite dropping 420 points to the Americans. The two teams traded punches on slams in the night session, the Europeans gaining on the exchange. In one hand, Mrs. Helen Sobel and Charles H. Goren bid and made seven clubs while the Italian pair stopped at six clubs. This gave the Ameri cans a gain of 500 points. A few hands later both teams reached a contract of six dia monds, with the Italians making the contract and the Americans going down. The difference in this case was 1470 points in 'favor of the Italians. SECOND MILLION Miles, . that is. J. Shannon White, 70, waves from the SS. Pres ident Wilson as it leaves San Francisco.
