Consider Budget The board at its monthly meeting yesterday also gave fur ther consideration to the tenta- tKe budget proposed for the fis eal year starting next July 1. An increase in funds totaling several thousand dollars will be sought, the board decided, be cause of the increasing demand on the library by residents of both Medford and the county outside Medford. In Janurary of this year, book circulation was 20 per cent above January of 1956, and 40 per cent above January, 1955, Miss Webster reported to the board. Also during January, a toal of more than 1,000 books were taken out by patrons on one day, the largest single-day circtsJatioS in the history of the library. Added personnel to handle the Increased patronage, and to pro cess the larger number of books now being purchased, will be necessary, the board believes. CHINA NEXT STEP Detroit (U.R) The old Joke about a short cut to China had Ward Hummel Jr., 13, a little worried Tuesday when he tried to take a short cut home. Half way through a vacant lot, Ward started going down, down, down. When they found him he had sunk up to his knees in mud. It took three men to pull Ward out. a Two Suits in Court Result of Accidents o o Two Medford residents have filed complaints in circuit court here seeking damages as the re sult of two separate automobile accidents. Edwin E. Weinkauf, 5I6V2 Western ave., is asking a total of $202,000 from Chester Mc Oonough of Ruch as the result of a collision July 13, 1956, at the intersection of Highway 99 and Charlotte Anne rd., about one mile south of Medford. Mrs. Gertrude Fern Riggs, 124 Chestnut st., is seeking a total of $26,000 from Joseph Leach Hendrickson, 406 Beatty St., as the result of a collision Nov. 3, 1955 at the intersection of Ed wards and Niantic sts. in Med ford. Passenger in Car Weinkauf claims in his com plaint that he was a passenger in a car operated by Robert Rock and that the car was traveling south on Highway 99. He claims McDonough had been operating a vehicle in a westerly direction on Charlotte Anne rd., then en tered the Highway 99 intersec tion and struck Rock's vehicle Weinkauf states he was thrown from the car, onto the pavement and under the vehicle in which he had been riding. The plaintiff claims to have received injuries to his neck, shoulders, chest, stomach, back' and right arm and that he will lose his right arm as a result of the accident. He charges the de fendant with four counts of neg ligence, including failure to stop at the intersection, yield the right cl way, keep proper lookout or attempt to avoid the accident. Weinkauf asks $200,000 general damages and $2,00 special dam ages. Operating Vehicle Mrs. Riggs claims in her com plaint that she was operating a vehicle east on Edwards st. and Hendrickson was operating a ve hicle south on Niantic st., when Hendrickson allegedly drove his car into her vehicle. She charges him with four counts of negligence, including failure to yield the right of way. keep proper lookout or attempt to avoid the accident and also charges him with 'driving at a speed too fast for conditions. In her first cause of action, Mrs. Riggs asks $500 for dam ages to her car. In her second cause of action, she seeks $25,000 general damages and $500 spe cial damages for permanent in juries to her back and injuries to her head allegedly resulting from the collision. Plaintiffs in both cases are represented by O. H. Bengtson, Medford attorney. Elephant Hunter Claims $10,000 Bet San Antonio, Tex. (U.Ri The wife of a big game hunter said today her husband won a. $10, 000 bet by bagging a couple of elephants in Africa with a bow and arrow. Mrs. William Nagley said she received a cablegram from her husband who reported he "killed two elephants according to wager.' Negley. an independent oil man, had a 10-1 bet with William K. Carpenter Jr. of Delaware that he could kill an elephant with a bow and arrow. Carpen ter was reported to have insisted that it would be impossible to bag an elephant with such a primitive weapon. Under terms of the bet, the San Antonio Witte Museum will receive Negley's winnings if Negley's claims are confirmed. Had Negley lost, he would have had to donate $1,000 to the museum. Bill Would Change Names of Freeways Salem (U.R) The House Highways Committee yesterday agreed to introduce a measure that would change the name of the Baldock and Banfield free ways. Rep. W. H. Holmstrom, a Gear hart Democrat, said the authors of the bill believed the state's highways should have names with geographical or historical significance. He suggested that the Banfield route be named the Columbia freeway, and the Bal dock route be named the Willam ette freeway. The express highway from Portland to Troutdale is named for T. H. Banfield, chairman of the State Highway Commission for seven years. The new high way between Portland and Salem is named after R. H. Baldock, who for 24 years was chief engi neer of the State Highway Department. Air Force Asked To Tell. Woodburn Plans Salem (U.R) Gov. Robert D. Holmes asked the Air Force to day to state definitely if it has abandoned plans for locating an Air Force interceptor base near Woodburn. The governor said that "the state has received no official notification from the Air Force." He said that tie believed prop erty owners in the area were "entitled to know at this time if the Air Force is no longer in terested in the property." Holmes referred to published , reports saying the Air Force has j called off plans for the so-called Woodburn base. He pointed out : the state had planned a state in- j termediate institution on 424 j acres of property at the pro- j posed air base site and later had 1 adopted a new site. i CLOSE TO HOME Akron, Ohio (U.R! Rookie Patrolman Earl R. Elliott made cut his first stolen car report Tuesday. The car was his own.
