Construction Group Gets Late Hour Work Permit; Council Acts on Requests A zone change, alley vaca tion, setback variance "pack age" for B and G properties on East Jackson st. was ap proved last night by the Med ford city council. Donald M. Drake Construc tion company's request for permission to carry out exca vation work after hours until July 11 for Rogue Valley Manor atop Barneburg hill also was approved. A vote on waiving the coun cil rules to permit considera tion of a proposed swimming pool fencing ordinance fell short of the necessary 3A ma jority, however. The B and Gproperties package request was present ed to the council by Phil Low ry, Medford attorney. The properties comprise a block of businesses on the north side of East Jackson between Haw- The family Council Editor' note: The Family Council consists ol Judee. a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspapei editor a women's editor and two writers. 1 Each article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not five advice; it merely report on problems that have been dealt with by responsible acenci " aonsselora. . Margaret S. -I have a right . to pick my friends. Patrick S. - She can't be trusted. Margaret S. - I am 19 and , my brother Pat is 21. We are - the oldest of five children. ' Our father died five years ago and since that time my brother has acted as head of the family. I admire and respect my brother a great deal because he has worked hard to keep us all going, but I do feel that he should remember that, aft er all, he is still only 21 and my brother and not an ancient wise man. What I'm getting at is this. My brother objects to a young man I've been going out with. I am not serious enough for marriage yet, but this thing seems to get more important to me as time goes on. This boy, Ralph, happens to be a friend of Pat's, but Pat says he's no good for me. If he thinks he can run my love live, I'm leaving home. Patrick S. - One minute Margaret says she's not at all serious about Ralph and the next she talks of my interfer ing with her "love life." Well, which is it? It's just that I want to know. I've known this Ralph for three years and I know a few things that in my mind make him the wrong kind of guy for my sister. Ralph is only 21, but I think he's been around a little too much. I don't like his attitude toward women. He may be all right .in other ways. I like him as my friend Casual Shirfdress - but he's not for Maggie. I have spoken to my mother about all this and she agrees that Maggie shouldn't see Ralph. So what does that kid sister of mine do? She starts seeing Ralph secretly. What kid stuff! But as I told Mother Maggie can't be trusted. The Council: Margaret has a legitimate point when she objects to her brother's tak ing on all the rights and priv ileges of a father or "ancient wise man." Mature though he may be, Pat lacks experience and the wellroutpded judgment that goes with it. In the matter of Ralph, for example, Pat makes a mistake when he judges the young man entirely from his knowl edge of him as a buddy. If Pat were a little 'older and more mellow in his views, he would probably make allow ances for the fact that not everything a young man tells his pals is to be taken as the lily pure truth. A youth may be one person to his buddies and a very different one to the girl he happens to like and respect. It is probably natural for thewidowed mother in this case" to be taken in by Pat's cry of alarm, but we think she should at least give a hearing to Margaret's views and should .try to learn more about the young man from first-hand contact. We do believe, however, that Margaret has created most of her own difficulties by what her brother rightfully calls her "kid stuff."' A girl of 19 should be able to dis criminate between desirable and , undesirable elements in her friendships. If Margaret is sure that her friendship with Ralph - is on the right track, she should speak up for herself and not go sneaking off or threatening to leave home. If things are not as they should be, she ought to get off that track: Margaret gives up her right to respect as an adult when she acts like a guilty little girl. - (Copyright 1959.

Zone Request The zoning request was for a change from single and two family residential to lim ited commercial. The busi nesses were non-conforming in a residential zone. The council unanimously approved both this request and one for vacating an lley behind the properties on the north. The setback variance was approved with the reservation that a four-foot setback still be required along the ' south property line on Jackson st. Councilman Donald Hansen, Ward II, voted against grant ing the variance. He stated that he saw no sufficient rea son for it and that-the Vari ance would permit a limited commercial area to take on the appearance of a commer cial area. Also involved in the zone change was a waiver of the normal off-street parking fa cility requirements. Lowry stated that cars wrould be per mitted to parte on tne adjacent Medford Shopping Center lot. Working Hours Drake's request was for permission to start work at 6 a.m. and continue until 11 pan.

John Jay Gomer, Barne burg hill resident, had twice complained to city police earlier in the week that the evening work was disturbing his sleep. The swimming pool fencing ordinance proposal did not ap pear on the agenda, which made a waiver of the rules necessary for its considera tion. A draft of the ordinance was presented to the council previously. Councilmen Al Bradford, Ward II, and Hansen voted against the waiver. Bradford explained he thought more time was needed before action on the matter. The council then approved Bradford's re quest that it appear on the July 16 agenda.
