Nelson said about 12 Med ford firms have been ordered to comply with the Fire Pre vention code passed by the city council on April 16, 1957. The firms had been given un til Dec. 16, 1857 to comply with the ordinance but this was extended to Dec. 16, 1958 to give them more time, he said. The ordinance provides that ny building with 3,500 or more square feet of space in Objectives For Safety Objectives of the Medford Safety Council for the year were outlined by President Berry Blgham at a meeting of new officers and directors Ifri dayoat the Elks club in Jkifed fcrd. .

I Main & Fir the basement must have a sprinkler s y st e m installed. This includes about 12 Med ford firms, Nelson explained. The code requires any build ing constructed after the 1957 passage of the ordinance with more than 1,500 feet of base ment space to have the sys tem installed. The sprinklers, which are set off by a fuse-type device, must be installed at the rate of one unit each 80 square feet. Nelson said. The new type of units are very small and. will not detract from the appearance of the room if properly installed, he said. He said on most large fires, Outlined Council awards; C. D. Larson, mem bership and immediate past president; and Aubrey Loper, budget. The Council voted to send a representative to the 1958 western regional conference, President's committee for traf fic safety, providing arrange ments can be made with another community group to share the cost. The February membership meeting will be held at the Jackson hotel, Friday, Feb. 14.

It is common scientific knowledge that octane is the significant measurement of a gasoline's power and performance. (Any gasoline less than 100-octane can cause damaging ."knock" and "ping" in modern engines.) Obviously, only one gasoline can be '"the most powerful." That gasoline will be new Flying A Super Extra-the only 100-octane gasoline available in the West. TIDEWATER OIL COMPANY EEFINERS AND MARKETERS OP QUALITY PETROLEUM PRODUCTS SINCE 1878 First Done firemen must enter the base ment first because the heat, flames and gases sometimes prevent firemen from enter ing the other floors. A sprink ler system will extinguish about 69 per cent of fires, and keep about 27 per cent in check until the fire depart ment arrives. About four per cent do not function because of improper installation, Nel son explained. The systems are so set up that an alarm bell begins to ring if any one sprinkler starts to operate, he said. About 53 per cent of fires in buildings with sprinkler systems are ex tinguished by the operation of one sprinkler, Nelson add ed. Conviction if found guilty of not installing the system after being ordered to do so by the fire marshal could re sult in a fine of up to $100 andor 30 days in jail for each day of violation, he warned. 84 Disease Cases Reported in County A total of 84 communicable diseases were reported to the Jackson county health depart ment last week, according to Dr. A. Erin Merkel, county health physician. Of the total, there were 35 measles cases, 28 of them re ported from the Shady Cove area. Four were reported in Central Point and three in Trail. Other cases included two scalp ringworm, eight chicken pox, 12 mumps, one trench mouth, 12 influenza, one Ger man mea3les, one strep throat, one scarlet fever, four pneumonia, six pink eye and two impetigo.

Medford-139 South Ashland-240 4th St. BEKINS AGENT FOR Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF A NOTED JOCKEY came to ride at a brand new track out west, but proved a sad disappointment to his followers. In fact, after finishing out of the money in a dozen consecutive races, he was called up be fore the governing board. "We're wondering what you are up to," frowned the chairman. "Are you using an electric battery on any of the horses you've been riding?" "Certainly not," main tained the jockey angrily. "I never used a battery in my life!" "Well," said the head of the track, "I advise you to get one fast All the other j ockeys here are using them." "" ' A Harvard business school statistician estimates there are 90,000 hairs on the average redhead and over 150,000 on blondes. In other words, the chances of a. careless Lothario getting a blond hair on his coat lapel are almost twice as great as coming up with a redhead's. C 1958. ty Bennett Crt Distributed by King Feature Syndicated Contract Awarded For Reforestation The Medford district of the bureau of land management awarded a reforestation con tract to the McCready Refor estation company of Hoquiam, Wash., last week to reforest 183 acres of non-productive forest land in four tracts. Three of the tracts are old logging area in north Jackson county. Two of the three in the Butte Falls area and one is in the Ditch creek drain age. The fourth tract is an old fire area in the Murphy area of south Josephine county. The project will involve seedspotting" ponderosa pine seed. "Seedspotting" is a method of reforestation in which the planter places in dividual seeds into the ground at a specified spacing. This method allows the planter to place each seed in , the best possible spot for survival; it results in a minimum waste of scarce seed. The contract was awarded for $3,460.86 for the four tracts: The project will bring the total acreage of land refor ested with appropriated funds to 2,039 acres for the Med ford district for the 1957-1958 reforestation season. The pro gram was made possible by the O and C counties which have made a portion of their receipts from the sale of O and C timber available to the bur eau for reforestation work. The Medford district has re forested an additional 320 acres through the timber sale nroeram. The Medford district will have one more large planting oroiect this spring, it win in volve planting ponderosa pine coeriiinffs on a 100 acre, tract in the McMullin creek area of south Josephine county. Bids will be opened Feb. 14. In addition to this project, t, HistnVt office expects to nffpr several small direct seed ing reforestation projects lat er in February.

As part of the district rehabilitation program, ap proximately 1,000 acres of these brush lands will be cleared of brush, and the soil will be scarified by the use of "cats". Contracts for this site improvement work are expected to be offered in March. In many cases, snags on the tracts which are to be rehabilitated must be felled before the machines can work on the area. Several contracts for snag falling have been awarded by the district; oth ers will be offered this month. Persons interested in tree planting, direct seeding, snag falling, or brush clearing and soil scarification should con tact the Medford district of fice of the bureau of land management in the city hall and ask to have their names placed on the list of prospec tive bidders. rati 0 . kywj zwdxr Is V - If k - A ' ij - V -' ''ti rf:fj4 I If IVX Prices Effective to 9 p.m. I If isX ' Silk l Gorton Nvlon & CoHon Daeron l Cotton X.
