The chapel room will have beamed ceil ing and the south end will be glass from floor to ceiling. Most of the west side will have glass from ceiling to floor.

What the Census Bureau did was take a long look at the fiscal 1957 financial re Cancer Crusade to Start April 1 The American Cancer So ciety's crusade will start in this area April 1, according to Dr. Robert Buck, president of the Jackson county unit of the American Cancer Society. The theme this year will be "guard your family," he said. The new theme is based on the fact that two out of every three families in this area as well as nationwide will event ually experience affiliation with cancer. The slogan expresses the So ciety's effort to save more lives from cancer, Dr. Buck noted. One out of three per sons can be saved today, he said, and with an ever widen ing educational program soon one out of two will be saved. As in previous years, the Society's crusade funds will be used for research, educa tion and service to cancer pa tients. He stressed that cancer in its early stages can be cured. Literature about the dis ease will be distributed by American Cancer Society vol unteers during Crusade month.

GARDEN CENTER, Dept , Name.. Address.. (Please By Jimmy Hatlo with a motorist who does not have insurance. It is done on a voluntary basis. The bill be fore the committee would make this compulsory. Herbert Ballin Jr., speaking for the insurance agents group, said "the bill protects the insured motorist and mem bers of his family if they are innocently injured by an unin sured motorist, even if they are injured as pedestrians or while riding in another auto mobile." George Birine Jr., represent ing the Association of Casual ty and Surety Companies, said the bill is unconstitutional. But he said that his group would prefer the idea to com pulsory insurance for all. Sen. Dan Dimick (R-Rose-burg) and Peter Gunnar, Re publican state chairman, who have clashed previously, were both against the bill. Dimick said the bill is not constitutional "because it de prives a person of his prop erty without due process of law." He said this was so be cause it forces a person to insure himself against injury. Gunnar said the insurance industry was trying to solve the problem of the uninsured motorist and had a good job on a voluntary basis. He rep resents the American Mutual Insurance Alliance.

The long-range program is to determine physical and mo tor growth curves for boys 7 to 17 years old. It will cover a growth period of 12 years. Boys in the program were picked at random, according to birthdays and the same boys will be used until each group graduates. The survey is being con ducted by representatives of the University of Oregon and Oregon State college. Various types of equipment are used to test the-maturity and the structure of the body in each age of growth, coordinated muscular strength, strength of individual muscle groups agility and speed, explosive muscular power, and the re action time it takes for the body to move after a given signal. Medford schools were chos en for the study because of the physical education pro gram. The increasing stress of physical fitness and partici pation in competitive athletics made the study of special in terest, officials noted. Researchers hope to show the relationship between com petitive and non-competitive sport participation and to de termine the difference in the growth pattern of the child if he participates or does not participate in various physical activities, they pointed out.
