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.

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

Mansfield returned to the stock
ade in a pickup truck and picked

also 50 and serving an identical
sentence. Police now are looking
for both of them. -

Editor's note: The Family Council consist! ot Judge, a psychiatrist,

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!
Right after first hay cut
ting, when ground is firm,
is the ideal time to apply
lime. Prompt service can
be given.
Be ready! Get your soil
test now! See your county
agent or ASC mgr. for soil
carton and instructions.

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,
