EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. Msy 17. 1957 Three (Public hearings Are Called by Medford Council The Medford city council last night called three public hear ings for June 6 and continued another hearing to the same meeting. One hearing will be on rezon ing from single family to light industrial 16.3 acres south of Crater Lake ave and west of Del ta Waters rd. The area extends south along Delta waters rd. 1,600 feet. Councilman .Donald Hansen, noting the property proposed for rezoning is in the newly annexed Kenwood-Grandview area, sug gested rezoning be deferred until such time as an over-all zoning program for. the area has been developed. 'Piece-MeaT Basis He objected to rezoning dis tricts on a "piece-meal" basis and suggested perhaps the council consider formulating policy on such zoning proposals. City Attorney E. R. Bashaw pointed out that the property owner requesting the zone change, had a "hardship" worked on him when the area became single family (class IA) at the time it was annexed. He added that most establishments in that area were intended for. a light industrial zone. The council called a public hearing June 6 to consider pav ing Lyman ave. from Hillcrest rd. to Scheffel ave. The city man ager was authorized to prepare plans and specifications for the project. The hearing was called after the council granted a request from Chester Hubbard and Paul Selby to reduce the width of the paving from 36 to 30 feet on Lyman ave. A petition signed by 96 per cent of the property owners along the street approv ing the change accompanied the request. Reduced Width The council granted the re quest after Hansen warned re ducing the width of the proposed paving project would not be "consistent with good planning," He added that at one time it was council policy not to pave streets less than 36 feet in' width. A public hearing also was called June 6 on paving south Front st. from 12th st. to the end of the existing pavement. The city manager was authorized to prepare plans and specifications for the project. The council continued a pub lic hearing until June 6 on pav ing Newtown st. from the north line of Belmont st. to Stewart ave. The matter was deferred for further study when a prop erty owner on Newtown st. near Belmont . st. requested the city extend the paving about 20 feet to include his property. In other council action con struction of the southeast Med ford trunk sewer by the P. S. Lord Construction company was accepted as complete. Councilman Jimmy Dunlevy Now on Display!

Jackson and Central Open Evenings. Ph. SP 3-3655 said it has been brought to his attention that several property owners in southeast Medford would be assessed for the project though they would not be ben efited by it. Councilman Ed Hall added that others in southeast Medford to be assessed for the project had not even been noti fied about construction of a sewer in the area. Mayor John Snider pointed out it was not council policy to assess property owners for im provements if they received no benefit either directly or indi rectly. The council approved trans fers of budget items within the police department budget. Trans fers were made necessary be cause of deficiencies 'in some items, according to Acting City Manager Vern Thorpe. Transfers included $2,581 from the patrolman item to cover clerk steno, postage for meters, travel and school and car repair expenses; $300 from the gasoline item for meals for prisoners' expenses; and $160 from the hospital fund to cover overtime costs. The council authorized paving on Rose ave. from Pennsylvania ave. to Fourth st. and on Grape st. between Melrose and Stew art aves. Action on the projects followed public hearings. Bidder's Statement A bidder's prequalification fi nancial statement from the M. C. Lininger and Sons Construc tion company, Medford, was ap proved. Action on a bidder's statement from the Hughes and Dodd Construction company was delayed for further study. The council granted a request from the property owner at the northeast corner of Rose ave. and Fourth st. for an extra' width driveway for access to a park ing lot. The lot wil provide park ing space for about 10 vehicles. The council also authorized the city manager to prepare, plans and specifications for pav ing Marie st. between Saling and Jackson sts. The council ac cepted a petition from property owners requesting the project. DOUBLE TROUBLE Lakeland, Fla. IW James Mansfield, 50, serving 30 days for drunkenness, escaped over the stockade fence Thursday. While police were chasing him, Mansfield returned to the stock ade in a pickup truck and picked up his buddy, William Cawthon, also 50 and serving an identical sentence. Police now are looking for both of them. - WORK ON FLOAT Four Medford students at the University of Oregon are shown con structing one of 15 floats which will appear in the Canoe Fete tonight at the university. Following the general theme, "Styles in Sound," this three-piece float will portray primitive music. The students are, left to right, Carl Gordon, Jim Perry, Sandra Hub bard and Mike DeVore. , The Family Council Editor's note: The Family Council consist! ot Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers Each article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not Civ advice: it merely reports on problems that hava been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Karen needs spe- Martha M.- cial attention. Michael M. She needs strong measures! Martha M My husband and I have been married 12 years and have five children. We are con sidered a very happy family and we really are except tor one problem child. Karen is 10, and the next to oldest. She was always harder to handle than the others, but re cently she has become simply un manageable. We can't seem to make her do the simplest things required of her little chores that even our 5-year-old can han dle. She is extremely spiteful and will do things to scare the boy and tease the other children We have always been very careful to treat all our children equally, but I am beginning to feel that I should show some spe cial favor to Karen because she must feel unloved. My husband is against this. Michael M. Showing favor to Karen would be rewarding bad behavior. This will not only be bad for Karen but a terrible ex ample to the others. Karen has been so bad that I feel we should leave her out of some of the reg ular family treats. She has no reason to feel unloved. We have given her as much affection and certainly more attention than any of the other children. I don't believe in spanking the children, but I have noticed that on occasions when Karen has gotten my goat to the point where I have had to spank her, she improved for several days. I am beginning to think this is the only language she really un derstands. It seems to me that unless we use strong measures now, Karen is going to be a serious problem when she gets older. The Council: It is not unusual for a child to feel unloved, 'even when there is "no reason." Such children may first seek attention by bad behavior and then fall into the pattern of being "the bad one" or a "problem child" and actually look for punish ment, not only as a form of at tention, but as a protection against their own angry, destruc tive feelings. This is probably what has hap pened to Karen. Her mother's feeling that she needs some spe-, cial attention is nearer the right track than her father's argument for "strong measures." The tern- Japanese Students Storm Embassy Tokyo IW Ten thousand jeering Japanese students wav ing banners proclaiming "Brit ish Fools" and "Ban H-Bomb Tests" converged on the British Embassy today and put it in a virtual state of siege. More than 1,000 police were rushed to the embassy armed wtih long white riot sticks, pis tols, short clubs and tear gas to stop the demonstrators against Britain's current Pacific H bomb tests from forcing their way into the compound. The compound gates were locked and no one could get in or out. Embassy personnel were virtual prisoners. After the leftist-inspired dem onstration had gone on for sev eral hours, the embassy agreed to receive a delegation of four student leaders. The four were pushed out of the compound shortly afterward by C. F. Hill, second secretary of the embassy, who said they had become abusive inside the embassy. No serious violence was re ported but one group of 25 youths and adults who squatted in the embassy driveway and hurled leaflets in the air was hauled away in police vans. LOME!

UL 5-1245 or UL 5-1 297 Actress Maureen O'Hara Has Spine Disk Removed Santa Monica, Calif. (IP) ! Actress Maureen O'Hara, 36, was : reported in good condition at St. : John's hospital today after un-i dergoing surgery for removal of j a ruptured disk in her spine. I Doctors said the actress would be hospitalized for about two weeks. She was operated upon Thursday. porary improvement after the spankings is superficial and will not prevent Karen from becom ing "a serious problem" when she gets older. The special favor shown Karen need not be dispensed in return for bad behavior. Karen needs plenty of praise for the good things she does. Her parents can build on those things. For ex ample, if she is a good runner or skater, she can be praised for that and, at some later time, be elected to perform an urgent er rand because she is the speediest member of the family. Then, presto, she is a heroine and shel'll want to enjoy that experi ence again! It will take , thought and pa tience, but Karen must be led out of her preoccupation with "badness" and guilt. If she is gently led toward doing things that give her real pleasure, her problems may gradually dis solve. (Copyright, 1957, General Features Corp.)
