AcusisiSions of School Sites
To Complete Long-Range Plan
Acquisition of two more
junior highoschool sites and
possibly one or two grade
school sites is all that re
mains before long-term ex
pansion plans of the Medford
school sytsem re complete,"
Superintendent Leonard B.
Mayfield said Monday.
The long-range program, he
explained, calls for plans to
accommodate twice the num
ber of children now in the
system. "Of course," he said,
"building additions at sever
al of the existing schools, plus
schools at the new sites,
would be necessary if we
were to actually double our
enrollment."
Ichool Population
Mayfield discussed school
population trends, building
and financing plans, and cur
riculum, at the regular Mon
day Jackson County Cham
ber of Commerce roundtable
luncheon.

ception of some war years

Stalinism Revival
Brings Defiance by
Yugoslavia, Poland
By United Press International
Soviet Russia's revival of
Stalinism brought new defi
ance Monday from Yugosla
via and Roland.
World-wide demonstrations
continued against the new
hard line demonstrated by the
execution of Hungarian "free
dom pusmier" Imre Nagy, and
there were steady indications
the East-West split was deep
ening. '
Hungarian refcigees in New
York demonstrated before

when violence flared.

2 Million Forecast
For State in 1966
Portland (UPI) Ore
gon's population may top the
two million mark about 1966,
the State Board, of Health
said today.
The board said if its statis
tics prove accurate, the state
will have added half a mil
lion people in the 16 years
since the 1950 census.
The statistics, prepared un
der the direction of Deane L.
Huxtable, state registrar, indi
cate Oregon's population will
be 2,014,687 in 1966 if 1950
57 factors "remain constant."
Oregon's 1958 estimated
population is 1,779,334, the
board said.
India denounced the execu
tions as murder. Attendance
dropped at the Hungarian pa
vilion of the Brussels Worlds
Fair. Communist labor leader
Arthur Horner said in London
he was shocked and horrified
at Nagy's death.
Authoritative reports reach
ing London said Polish Com
munist leader Wladyslaw Go
mulka has sent a letter to So
viet Premier Nikita Khrush
chev "disassociating" himself
and the Polish Communist
Party from the Nagy execu
tion. -
The reports said Gomulka
was expected to carry out a
"bloodless purge" of the Po
lish party to remove the hard
core of Stalinists.
There were other reports
that Gomulka himself might
be ousted but these were ap
parently were disproved dur
ing the week end.
Tito Drafting Not
Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia
was reported drafting a note
to Hungary protesting the ex
ecutions as a double cross.
Yugoslavia had granted Nagy
asylum in its embassy in Bu
dapest. The official Yugoslav press
defiantly reminded the Com
munists they failed in 1948
when they read Tito out of the
Comminf orm, called the latest
charges against Tito revision
ism an attempt to create dis
sension and said Nagy's exe
cution was a "terrible warn
ing to those who resist the
present resurrection of Stalin
ist policy."
Diplomatic reports in Paris
and London blamed the rise of
Stalinism on a power strug
gle within the Kremlin.

gain in student enrollment,"
he reported. During the past
12 years, he said, the gain
has averaged from 3 to 6 per
cent; a gain which public
services can easily keep up
with if well planned.
Medford has what Mayfield
termed a continuing census.
Under this system the educa
t i o n department normally
knows within a week when
new children of school age
move into the district. "It is
very seldom that figures are
off so that additional teachers
must be employed," the ad
ministrator said.
Walk to School
The elementary schools are
situated so that the vast ma
jority of students can safely
walk to school, he said, and
they are planned to serve be
tween 400 and 500 children
each. The two junior high
schools house between 900
and 1,000 students each.
As part of the long-range
plan the board also has ac
quired a new high school site,
and all buildings and sites are
so situated that if outlying
areas were consolidated, the
existing pattern would not be
disrupted, he said.
Financing is one of the
problems the system faces,
Mayfield reported, although
"we do not face a uilding
problem now."
Properly Tax
"All local, tax for schools
comes from property tax,"
Mayfield noted. In Oregon,
local taxpayers pay all the
capital outlay for schools,
whereas in California and
Washington the state offers
considerable assistance.
Out of the total state prop
erty tax over the past three
years, 68 to 70 per cent has
gone to schools, he reported.
In contrast, he said, in Med
ford, the average over the
past several years has been
59 to 61 per cent.
Mayfield stressed the point
that the opportunity is here
for boys and girls who wish
to learn. "This year," he said,
"members of the graduating
class were granted scholar
ships worth more than $40,
000. According to our reports
this is more money per stu
dent than was given in any
other district in the state."
Problem Children
Eight to 10 per cent of the
students in Medford are prob
lem children, however, he
said. This does not mean that
they are necessarily bad. This
amounts to more than 200 stu
dents here, the educator said,
and because of it "we almost
have to have a plan of social
promotion. You can't just
drop that many persons be
tween 14 and 18 years old on
the streets of Medford. If we
didn't take care of them, who
would?"
The Medford system has
been a pioneer in the plan of
"grouping," which gives gift
ed children an opportunity to
advance. For years, Mayfield
said, grouping was criticized,
but in recent years educators
throughout the country have
come .to recognize it as the
best available plan.
In the Medford system, be
ginning in the grade schools,
children are placed in one or
three groups depending upon
their potential.
Another Problem
Another program offered
by the system, Mayfield point
ed out, is a refresher course
offered shortly before the
opening of school in the fall
to students who plan to enter
college each year. Students
gain reassurance from this
course just before they take
their college entrance exami
nations. A survey recently complet
ed, Mayfield said, shows that
in nearly every area tested,
Medford . students are well
above the national average in
knowledge and ability.
"Where students fall below
the national average," he
stated, "we are taking the
necessary, steps to improve
their training."
Four People Hurt
In Car Accidents,
Said In Fair Shape
Four persons were hospital
ized in Jackson county over
the week end following three
one-car accidents. State police
records show. All the accident
victims are reported in good
condition.

killed when a runaway train
demolished the railroad sta

Missile Production Halted by Strikers
Detroit (UPI) A few
hundred angry union work
ers Monday halted 75 per
cent of production at the
Chrysler - operated Redstone
Jupiter missile plant.
Both Chrysler and United
Auto Workers termed the
strike unauthorized. But the
striking members of UAW
local 1245 refused to leave
.their picket lines at plant en
trances.
Local 1245 President Milan
(Mike) Matich said the strike
occurred because Chrysler
has tried to "discriminate"
against union members in
many ways and is "deliberate
ly" trying to eliminate the
union from the plant.
