ed. Robert Van Sickle was ap
pointed to represent the city
of Medford on Jan. 15, 1959,
he added. The colonel also ad
mitted the board hasn't met
since September, according to
present records, in answer to
Miller's questions.
The county judge empha
sized Friday that-he is not
trying to put the National
Guard on the spot but is mere
ly inquiring into the adminis
tration of the armory since it
represents "quite an invest
ment in local economy." He
said he wanted to know who
is handling the administration
of the armory, how active the
advisory board is and why it
is not more active.
The old armory administra
tion board, a separate group
from the advisory board, has
been relieved effective March
31 and a new board appointed
effective April 1, the colonel
stated.
New board members are 1st
Lt. Don M. Ilvie, 2nd Lt. Paul
J. Blair, 1st Lt. Richard A.
Greer, and 1st Lt. Jack C.
Phillips.
CaptS. F. Fagone, former
commanding officer of a Na
tional Guard headquarters
company here, may request
reappointment and if a va
cancy exists his request will
be given careful considera
tion, the adjutant general
wrote in answer to another
question from Miller.
Fagone has been in the Na
tional Guard for 13 years and
was one of the original organ
izers of the local unit on June
26, 1947. He organized head
quarters company of the First
Batallion, 186th Infantry. He
was commander of that com
pany until asked to resign
March 3.
During the recent "Pentom
ic" reorganization two com
panies were consolidated into
one. The 'Tentomic" plan
provides for formation of a
rifle company and its support
ing units into one unit so each
group can support itself for
30 days in battle. The former
headquarters and service com
pany has been moved to the
Willamette Valley.

Non-High District
Budget is Reduced
The Jackson county non
high school district board
last week reduced the non
high operating budget $174,
050 from a total proposed esti
mate of $235,000.
The estimated expenditure
now is $'60,950, according to
Alf B. Mekvold, county school
superintendent.
The reduction was made
possible by the consolidation
of six districts involved in the
consolidation; Ruch, Griffin
Creek, Lone Pine and How
ard, were non-high districts.
Estimated receipts for the
non-high district are $48,000,
leaving $12,950 to be raised
by a levy. However, Mekvold
pointed out, the rural school
district tax offset will more
than cover the amount of the
levy, offsetting the entire
amount of the non-high dis
trict tax.
Pinehurst, Applegate and
Evans Valley are the only
three non-high school districts
remaining in Jackson county.
Cypress trees of the Pacific
coast grow as high as 100 feet
with a trunk diameter of three
feet.

Roxy Ann Lanes
Construction -To
Start Monday
(Sea Picture on Pag 1)
Construction of the Roxy
Ann Lanes, the first part of a
proposed sports and recrea
tion center off Highway 99
south of Medford, will get
under way Monday, Herschel
Dixon, Raymond, Wash., has
announced.
Dixon, with his brother,
Kenneth, will operate the
bowling lanes. Armin Richter
is contractor. The building is
being constructed by Crawford-Dixon,
Inc., a firm com
posed of John G. Crawford,
Medford, and the DixOn broth
ers. Land for the sports center
has been cleared of pear trees.
An 18-acre site -has been pur
chased for the development.
Open in August
Dixon said they plan to
move to Medford in the near
future, and expect to open for
business, in August this year.
They plan to sell the Union
Oil distributorship in Ray
mond, Wash., before assuming
the operatorship of the lanes.
The building, which may
cost an estimated $500,000,
will contain 24 lanes, with
American Machine and Foun
dry (AMF) equipment, con
sidered the most modern avail
able. It also will have a res
taurant and a nursery for
children.
The bowling lanes will take
up about three acres of the
tract, Dixon said, with the
other 15 acres to be developed
later. Other plans tentatively
call for a roller skating rink,
and possibly a swimming pool.
No Supporting Posts
The bowling lane building
is designed with no support
ing posts in the bowling area
and none visible in the entire
building, Dixon said. The wall
away from the highway side
will be the "knockout" type
so expansion can be made
without impediments.

Jury Awards
$17r450 Damages
In Condemnation
A circuit court jury Friday
awarded Henry Corbin, Rogue
River, $17,450 in damages for
his property condemned bv
- i
the state highway commission !
for a viaduct for the Grants j
Pass-Rock Point section of!
the Highway 99 freeway.
The- award followed two
days' trial in Circuit Judge
James Main's court. The state
had offered $14,000 for two
tracts, one containing 16.1
acres one for .4 of an acre, to
be removed from Corbin's
JSunnyside Farm land. Corbin
was asking $17,450. (Corbin's
original answer was amended
from $16,500.)
The property to be used by
the highway commission in
cludes homesites and all of
Corbin's yard trees. The con
demnation would leave 70
acres to which a road must be
constructed.
Next in the series of con
demnation suits to be tried
Monday in circuit court is
that involving Richard H. and
Genora Long, Rogue River.
Their property, located at the
meeting of Evans creek and
Rogue river, includes 3.8
acres and 700 feet of river
frontage.
The state has offered $25,
000. (A prime question in
volved) is whether the Long's
property should be valued
from the standpoint of river
front homesites. The Longs
are seeking $30,000. Lowest 1
appraisal made by agents of
the Longs is, approximately
$34,000.
