The firms had been given un

This includes about 12 Med

The code requires any build

passage of the ordinance with
more than 1,500 feet of base

The sprinklers, which are
set off by a fuse-type device,
must be installed at the rate
of one unit each 80 square

Public Notice
: 100-octane gasoline is now being distributed
! and will be available soon at Flying A stations.
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

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

A total of 84 communicable

Of the total, there were 35

Central Point and three in

Other cases included two
scalp ringworm, eight chicken

Last year the fifth and
sixth grades started a spell
ing race track which Mr. Lit
tman and Vernal Goodrich
made. It is made of plywood
and has four little cars on it,
one for each of the fifth and
sixth grades. We decided to
use it again this year. On Fri
days when we have our spell
ing tests, the cars are moved
ahead depending on how many
students in each room gets
one hundred per cent. Mr.
Goodrich's room is ahead so
far, but the others are very
close behind.
This year wa will set aside
Feb. 10 in honor of Arbor
Day. We are going to plant
several small trees. There will

various kinds of trees, put up
to show where they are grown
in the United States.

A NOTED JOCKEY came to ride at a brand new track out

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

"Well," said the head of
the track, "I advise you to

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. These small
rnntracts can be awarded by
th district manager.

planted if the brush were re
moved. 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

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

Persons interested in tree
