Plans Taking Shape
Plans for development of
private off-street parking fa
cilities in downtown Medford
received a boost last week as
27 retail merchants expressed
interest in a proposed park-and-shop
program.
' SODAICO, a local invest
ment club, has secured options
on three lots and plans to go
into the parking business - if
' response to the park-and-shop
idea is sufficient. Participa
tion by 30 merchants is consid
ered a minimum, but sources
involved in present planning
express hope that many more
will be attracted-
The , lots under considera
tion are situated on North
Central ave., south of the Yel
low Cab company at Fifth St.;
on the the north side of
rrai ana tsaruett st., ana on
: South Front st. behind Robin-

Like to Participate
A total of 25 merchants said
they would like to participate
in the park-and-shop program
last Wednesday at a meeting
of the retail merchants com
mittee of the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce. Two
others, according to Chamber
Manager Don McNeil, have
Officers Nominated
For District Posts
' . New officers for the south
west Oregon chapter of the
Oregon State Employees as
sociation were nominated at
a meeting of the chapter at
the forestry department head
quarters on Table Rock rd. re
Cole Rivers, game commis
sion. Grants Pass, and Vic
tor Van Hoy, forestry depart
ment, Central Point, were
nominated for president. Oth
er nominations include Earl
Moe and William Moore,
Grants Pass, and Walter Mar
an, Medford, all of the forestry
department, for vice - presi
ddent Secretary nominations were
Dana Gerhardt, Applegate,
and Jim Fisher, Medford, both
of the forestry department;
treasurer, Al Curnow, Grants
Pass; Frank Helm, Central
Point, and William Totten,
Medford, all of the forestry
department, and Ken Boebel,
Central Point, game commis

tossed their hats in the ring
as well.
SODAICO itself, McNeil ex
plained, would be concerned
only with the lots themselves.
It would be up to the mer
chants to establish a board of
control for the park-and-shop
program and tend to its ad
ministration. McNeil said ef
forts wouia be made to in
clude other parking lots in the
program later-
SODAICO, which stands for
Southern Oregon Develop
ment and Investment compa
ny,, would sign up a profes
sional manager for the lots, it
is understood.
Buy Stamps
Under this program, mer
chants would buy free-parking
stamps in blocks of 100. These
stamps, each worth an hour's
parking, would be given to
shoppers with tickets from
one of the park-and-shop lots.
The tickets with stamps af
fixed, turned in to the lot op
erator as the shopper picks up
his car, could then be redeem
ed by the operator from the
fund sustained by merchant's
stamp purchases.
The merchant, according to
tentative cost figures, would
pay 20 cents per stamp plus
an additional penny for ad
ministrative costs. Merchants
would also contribute to a
separate fund for promotional
needs.
Hay Been Established
McNeil, noting that park-and-shop
plans have been
established in more than 120
other communities across the
country, stated that normally
only about 10 per cent of a
merchant's customers ask for
the free-parking stamps.
He stated that so long as
the merchant requires a mini
mum purchase before issuing
a free-parking stamp the cost
to him, according to experi
ence elsewhere, never ex
ceeds one-tenth of one per
cent of his gross sales.
McNeill said that if all goes
well the merchants hope to
have the program in effect
here by early summer.

Death Rate in
Cities Declines
Oregon cities were able to
record a 28 per cent decrease
in traffic deaths last year even
though more than 41,000 acci
dents occurred ' within incor
porated areas of the state,
according ' to Medford Chief
of Police Charles P. Champlin.
Seventy-three people were
killed in traffic in all Oregon
cities, with 43 of those deaths
taking place in Portland, he
reported. Deaths outside cities
totalled 374.
Seven Oregon cities with
populations of 10,000 or more
were able to go death-free for
the year. Death-free cities.
Champlin said, were Bend.
Klamath Falls, Pendleton,
Roseburg, Salem, Springfield
and The Dalles. -
Chief Champlin said he
hoped cities in the state could
record as good a record this
year as last year in death
reduction, but reminded resi
dents that it would only be
possible if every driver and
pedestrian cooperates by being
careful and courteous. .
Courtesy, he said, will be
especially important this sum
mer when thousands of out-of-
state drivers will pass through
Medford. "Since many of these
drivers will be unfamiliar
with state traffic laws," Chief
Champlin concluded, "it will
be up to our drivers to be
alert for them "and to treat
them as courteously in traffic
as in our businesses.
