STATISTICS STOLEN
Palisades, N. J. -(LTD- Police
suspected today that some
young swain has suddenly add
ed 40 choice listings to his
"little black book." They re
ported that 40 completed en
try blanks for the Miss New
York State beauty contest -complete
with names, addres
ses, phone numbers and vital
statistics-were stolen from an
amusement, park-here.
Construction is an indica
tion of a healthy economic
condition, and! the Rogue
valley is not without its ma
jor construction projects. '
Throughout the valley
there are now homes, busi
nesses and roads being con
structed." There are under
construction, or recently
opened, , new motejs, new
service stations, and other fa
cilities which will handle
tourists, who bring in many
thousands of dollars to this
area.
And from present plans,
the valley's construction will
continue a few more years.
Manor Construction
Work recently, started on
the valley's largest construc
tion projects-the Rogue Val
ley Manor, a 10-story $5
million retirement home on
Barneburg hill south of Med
ford. (
Some time this fall, the
Medford Shopping Center at
the corner of East Jackson st.
and Biddle rd. is expected to
open. The Sears, Roebuck
and company - store, -along
with Safeway, and other
shops is expected to draw
hundreds of out-of-town shop
pers each week.
Within the next year, an
addition will be constructed
to Rogue Valley Memorial
hospital, an addition estimat
ed to cost about $1.5 million.
Talent Project
The House appropriations
committee in Washington,
D.C., earlier this month ap
proved $2,747,788 for the
Talertt project; an item which
will assure this area of con
tinued heavy construction.
In the next few years, too,
the Highway 99 freeway will
be in various phases of con
struction. An initial phase of
the . four-lane divided high
way is now under construc
tion between the Seven Oaks
area north of Central Point
to a point south of Central
Point. '
Those are a few of the
large major construction
projects started ' or planned
in this area within the near
future. There are many other
projects which are under con
struction, or expect to start
soon.
Construction Consistent
Within the city of Medford,
construction has been consist
ent. Buildings which have
been remodeled or built, or
are now under construction,
include: (
The Army reserve center
on West Jackson st., estimat
ed to cost about $229,000; Ce
dar Lodge motel' -on North
Riverside ave., $104,000; the
new bureau of land manage
ment office on South River
side, $59,000; an addtion to
the Lutheran church on
Fourth st., $82,183; addition
to Medford Bowling lanes,
$59,000; Century building re
modeling, $25,000; Morton
Milling company feed mill,
$25,000; 1005 East Main st.,
mall, $65,000; Rogue Valley
State bank, East Jackson st.,
$40,000; foundation for Nye
and Naumes cold storage
plant, $35,000; Westminster
Presbyterian church, $95,000;
Myron Root cold storage
plant, $29,000; Lumberman's
Realty office building on
West Main st., $73,000; and
the Keith Babcock store on
North Riverside, $38,000.
These, of course, do not in
clude buildings being con
structed outside the Medford
city limits. Nor does it in
clude new homes within Med
ford. During the first five
months this year, 81 permits
have been issued by the city
for new home construction.
Estimated value of the new
homes is $1,040,400, with the
average home costing about
$12,844. The highest costing
home for which a permit was
issued was estimated to cost
$25,000.
Outside the Medford area,
new motels, a new recrea
tion center south of town, a
new packing plant, other new
businesses and many new
homes are under construc
tion. ,
i In Ashland, Southern Ore
gon college is building sev
eral new structures to handle
the increased enrollment and
new demands for students.
On this page today are pic
tures of some of the construc
tion in the Rogue valley; con
struction which indicates that
the valley's economy is
healthy.

City Council
Voles Insurance
For Rail Journey
Authorization for the in
demnity agreement with Med- '
ford Corporation in connec
tion with Saturday's rail ex
cursion passed the Medford
city council 6-1 at a special
meeting Friday afternoon.
The excursion marked the
last run for "Old No. 4," the
venerable logging locomotive
being donated by Medco for
Medford's parks and recrea
tion program. Insurance cov
erage was necessary for the
specially-invited passengers.
Only Councilman Ed Hall,
Ward I, voted against the
agreement, by which the city
was to relieve Medco of any
liability arising from excur
sion' accidents. In connection
with assuming . this liabilty,
the city took out an insurance
policy with a premium of $150
paid from municipal coffers.
Against Premium
Hall pointed out that the
city could get the gift iron
horse without having to pay
this insurance premium. This
would have involved delivery
of the locomotive to the city
by Medco without the "last
trip" festivities. Councilman
Don Hansen, Ward II, was not
present at the meeting.
City Parks and Recreation
Director Robert It. Haworth
told the councilmen "It'll cost
us some money" to get the
steam stallion from the Med
co siding where it was brought
Saturday to its proposed final
destination, the city's West
Jackson st. park site. He said
this moving operation could,
cost as much as $500.
The councilmen apparently
felt the locomotive woud be
well worth it. Councilman Al
Bradford, Ward II, called it a
"prize asset."
In one other piece of busi
ness, the council Friday ac
cepted formally a federal avia
tion agency grant for resur
facing work at Medford air
port. Beaverton Student '

Beaverton -(DPD- Beaverton

Gray, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Gerald. Gray, Aloha, got
