Council, Planners Discuss Variance, Rezoning Requests (Se Story on Page 1) The Medford city council -and planning commission last night 'discussed two zone changes .and a setback vari ance request at a joint meet ing. The meeting was called after the council last week questioned three .recommen dations from the planning commission. With respect to a recom mended zone change from residential to limited commer cial for Gottlieb Wolffs prop erty at the southeast corner of Crater Lake ave. and Rotf erts rd., the council noted that a 258-signature petition had been filed in opposition. City Manager Robert A. Duff said last night he had just received petitions from about 20 persons who had signed the original petition and now wished to support the zone change instead. Suggests Reason Duff suggested that one reason so many had signed originally was that some had not understood either what might result from the change or what the planners had in mind in recommending the change be approved. Tf we did have some edu cation in this area we would get some support," Duff said. Anderson had observed earlier in the evening that he thought part of the opposi tion to this zone change stemmed from distrust of .what it might lead to in the way of future developments Mayor John W. Snider point ed out that while the change might be inevitable the ques tion right now is whether this is the proper time for it. The council is slated to consider the matter further at a public hearing March 19. Requested Zone Change The second recommenda tion questioned by the council is the requested zone change from residential to limited commercial for property at the northeast corner of East Jackson and Genessee sts., the proposed site for a branch of the Rogue Valley State bank. The council held a public meeting hearing on this last week. Councilman Ed Hall, Ward I, reported that property own ers on the south side of Jack son between Genessee and Stark .st. support this change since they plan to request a change for their own property next. He said he wondered If this was the time to permit the change in view of protests from other residents in the area. The possibility of requiring owners of property re-zoned to commercial to provide a "buffer strip" between then property and adjacent residen tial property was discussed. This strip could take the form of landscaping, with the com mercial structure set back a considerable distance from the property line. Ask Recommendations Mayor Snider asked if the planning commission could develop recommendations on such requirements. Paul Sel- by, president of the commis sion, replied it would take time. Selby said after the meeting he was not sure whether the planners would follow through on this, A third matter up for dis cussion last night was a set back variance for A. G. An derson's carport at 401 Park st. The planners had recom mended its approval on con dition the carport, now open, not be enclosed at a later date. But City Attorney Joel B, Reeder said last night he did not believe such a condition was permissible. He explained that the variance concerned the setback alone, and not the carport' structure. He said the city's zoning ordinance does not allow conditional vari ances. Carport Contractor Duff pointed out that the contractor for the carport did not taite out a building per mit at city hall until the struc ture was completed and found by a city building inspector to be in violation. Jack Edson, planning com mission member, said he thought refusing a vari ance could set an example to discourage other contrac tors from taking liberties. But, he added, he knew the persons involved in this par ticular instance and was sure they had not acted in bad faith. The purpose of last night's meeting was solely for discus- sion-to clarify issues and re solve differences if possible between the two groups. No formal action was taken in the matters discussed. Father Brings Arrest of Sons Oakland-flJPD-Richard Pau lisich, 41, explained Thursday he had his three teen-age sons arrested because he wanted to do something "to straight en them out before there is serious trouble." He said the boys - Richard Jr., 16; John, 15, and William, 13 - stoned him in his back yard, kicked the fog lights out of his car, scratched the paint, and brought their friends home to play dice and drink liquor. "It's a rat pack," Paulisich said. "I want to do something to straighten them out before there is serious trouble. They could be good boys and good citizens - but not if they keep on with their duck-tail hair cuts and keep on mingling with rats who have no respect for any one they can intimi date." Paulisich filed a complaint against the youths on the technical charge they were "incorrigible." Officers who took the teen agers into custody said Pauli sich's sons threatened to "get even" with their father when they are released. m PHONE MU 5-8771 DO CDOCLXDGDOO CG On All Cash Purchases! Eastern Oregon Grazing Curbed Portland-flTPD-T h e Bureau of Land Management said to day it has ordered grazing re ductions in two eastern Ore gon areas to prevent further deterioration of lands. Virgil T. Heath, state BLM supervisor, said reductions were ordered for about 50 per cent of current licensed use on the Cow Creek unit of Malheur county . and for 58 per cent on the Snake River-Sisley Creek allotment of Baker county. However, BLM said ap peals were expected and that cuts would be postponed pending final adjudication. The range use reductions were ordered by district BLM Managers Derrel Fulwider of Vale and Euel Davis of Baker. L. C. (Jack) Binford, state Izaak Walton league leader, has charged that BLM of ficials in Washington, D.C. did not accept recommendations of the field staff regarding grazing reductions to restore deteriorating ranges. 'Diary7 Among More Serious Productions Tried by HS Cast One of the most serious and interesting plays ever at tempted by a Medford High school cast had its first per formance last night at the school auditorium. "The Diary of Anne Frank" is a many scened dramatic adaptation of the day -by -day account of how eight Jews, three young people and five adults, hid for 25 months in the attic of an Amsterdam warehouse in an effort to escape Nazi per secution. This play is not fic tion from the brain of some playwright; it has the impact of real life. The story is grim and ter rible, yet the play is not with out humor. Though these eight individuals never left the attic, day or night, spoke only in whispers and moved around as little as possible during the hours the work men were on duty in the warehouse below, they man aged somehow to maintain some semblance of normal life. There are those too, which though they bor der on tragedy bring laugh ter from the audience. Assembles Good Cast Director Lenore Zapell as sembled a good cast for this difficult production. Susanne Moore gives a sensitive and moving portrayal of Anne, the intelligent, warm-hearted and spirited young teenager who wrote the diary now considered a literary master piece. This reviewer finds it dif ficult to assess the dramatic efforts of young amateurs at tempting a play of this cali ber. For a time last night one wondered if such youthful players could manage this play, but they did. Supporting Miss Moore were Dennis Barr as Mr. Frank and Judy McGraw as Mrs. Frank, the parents whose calmness keep the sit uation from becoming explo sive; Pat Hanson as Meip and Dewey Gail as Mr. Kraler, the two Dutch friends who supply the fugitives with food and necessities and bring them news of the outside world; Bob Sheldon and Judy Riebe'as Mr. nad Mrs. Van Daan, parents, whose frail ties of character add strain to the situation; Glen Kaye as Peter Van Daan, 16-year-old boy almost crushed by the weight of the situation; Syl via Morris, the quiet older sister of Anne, and Ted Law- son as Mr. Dussel, Jewish dentist, who finds that he is, after three generations of his family having lived in Am sterdam, not a Dutchman but a Jew. The play has many excel lent scenes; one of the most moving is when the eight fu gitives gather to celebrate the Jewish festival of Hanuk kah, with its lighting of can dies, reading the words of faith and singing of the song of rejoicing. The set, constructed by the director's husband with the help of a high school crew, is a masterpiece of ingenuity. Mrs. Zapell, whose skillful direction is evident through out the play, points out that this production called for un usual cooperation and efforts incidents, on the part of the costume and property workers. The players almost never leave the stage costume ' changes and properties had to be brought to the actors between scenes. In spite of these dif ficulties and hazards, every thing was handled smoothly and a quick tempo main tained. Sound effects, most meaningful for this play, are also excellent. This play, which will be repeated tonight, deserves a large audience, not only be cause it is a high school pro duction but because it says something of significance. At one time young Anne says to Peter "I know it's ter rible trying to have any faith . . . when people are doing such horrible . . . but you know what I sometimes think? I think the world may be going through a phase, the way I was with mother-it'll pass, maybe not for hundreds of years, but some day ... I still believe, in spite of every thing, that people are really good at heart." The beliefs that the world goes through phases, and that people (all people) are really good at heart, is worthy of attention.
