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.

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.
