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.

Rose M. 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

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.

kidnaped actress Marie McDon
ald. ' Parker asked Southern Cali

one sold turkey sandwiches to
the two suspects last Friday or
refueled an old model car used

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.

Lawrence Geraghty, Klamath
Falls, first vice president; Henry
Hagg, Reedville, second vice

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.

was free on bail again today aft

yesterday on advice of his at
torney so that a writ of habeas
corpus petition could be carried
to the Oregon Supreme court if

The move was a test to chal
lenge the validity of indictments
brought against Roadnight and
others last summer by the Mult
nomah county grand jury.

state office building instead of
the county courthouse. Other
persons named in indictments
have made similar protests.
