Sun-Day Princess UP Medford owners of outdoor swimming pools, fish ponds and certain other artificial bodies of water are faced with a new city ordinance requir ing fences or covers for them. The ordinance, passed by the city council July 16, sets forth as public policy that without proper precautions pools and ponds "constitute a severe hazard to the safety of the inhabitants of the City of Medford, particularly children." The ordinance applies to any privately-owned body of water, excavated or portable, which "contains water 18 inches or more in depth at any point. It would, by this definition, include a log pond as well. Excludes Public Pools The ordinance specifically excludes public pools, which are covered by state require ments. It also excludes irriga tion ditches. The subject was brought be fore the council May 7 by Councilman Stan Stark, Ward IV. Subsequently, a small child in Eugene fell into an unguarded pool and was killed. The effective date of Med- ford's ordinance was last Sun day. All plans for new pools 9401 SIZES by Ukifclfik&.

Length of suspension varies, depending on charges involv ed, recommendation of court, discretionary action by the department dr requirements of Oregon law. The depart ment said some of the licenses involving financial responsi bility and court recommenda tions may have been re-instated after suspension was ordered. The department warned drivers that the penalty for driving while suspended is a jail sentence of no less than two days and up to six months, and there may be imposed a fine up to $500. Under licensing procedures, this will also result in an ad ditional year of suspension.

Green Fir Market Moves Higher Portland - The green Fir dimension market moved to higher ground in the week ending July 30th, according to . Crow's Lumber Market News Service. Two weeks of heavy volume, coining on the heels of the vacation shut downs, contributed to the added strength. Despite much resistance, random length 2x4s moved close to the $80 mark, Crow's said, and 2x10 was particu larly strong at a level $3 per thousand higher. Activity has also been heavy in long dimension, plank and timbers, with prices continuing to move up in these categories, accord ing to Crow's. The lower grades of dimen sion were steady, and were unchanged pricewise. Kiln dried dimension remained strong, with a relatively high rate of mixed-car buying reported. submitted to the city building department for approval must now comply with the fencing or covering requirements. . Owners of existing facilities must comply with the ordi nance within 60 days of its effective date, or by Sept. 24. Loophole Seen However, since the ordi nance defines bodies of water involved as those containing 18 or more inches of water, a loophole to this deadline may exist. The city's legal department is studying whether a man who drained his pool before hand in anticipation of the swimming season's end would be subject to the deadline. If not, however, he would no doubt have to comply before refilling it next summer. Specifically, the ordinance requires that the fence or wall erected around the pool be at least three feet high with no holes or gaps larger than four inches. A building may serve as part of the enclosure. Latching Device All gates or doors, except the door of a building supple menting the fence or wall, must have a self-closing, self latching device to keep it shut when not in actual use. The latch must be out of reach of children. A pool cover or "other pro tective device" meeting the council's approval may take the place of fencing. In addi tion, the council may permit "slight modifications for good cause" in individual cases "provided the degree of pro tection is not reduced there by." Time extensions for com pliance may also be granted by the council, for periods up to 30 days. Enforcement of the ordi-i nance, it is understood, rests with the city building depart ment. Violators are subject to fines up to $100 or 50 days in jail or both, with each day the violation continues to exist considered a separate offense. City officials estimate there are some 50 permanent swim ming pools alone within Med ford's limits. Special Dividend Is Planned for Veterans NO MORE 'COPS' Vergennes, Vt. - (UPD There wasn't a single "copy" around when 175 graduates of the FBI academy held their an nual convention here. They said "professionally trained lawmen aren't 'cops' any more; they're law enforce ment officers." OUTNUMBERED Eartf ord, Conn. (DPD There are 315 lawmakers, in Connec ticut's state legislature - and 370 registered lobbyists. A special dividend of $4,000,000 will be paid this year to 85,000 National Serv ice Life Insurance policyhold ers who carried the $5 total disability income provision, S. T. Brannock, contact repre-, sentative, VA Domiciliary, Camp White, said today. This provision provides the insured veteran a monthly in come of $5 per month for each $1,000 of insurance in force in the event he becomes total ly disabled, and costs him an additional premium. Payments will start at once. Eligible to receive the divi dend are those veterans whose TDIP rider was in force on Dec. 31. 1959. The amount of the dividend will depend on the age group, plan and number of months the insur ance was in force, Brannock explained. Receive Dividend Policy holders whose insur ance was in a state of lapse during December, 1958, will receive this dividend only if their policies were reinstated before June 1, 1959, Brannock said. Because the group has not accumulated any surplus, those who were issued TDIP riders prior to Jan. 1, 1950, by virtue of waiver of good health requirements due to service - incurred disability, will not participate in this special dividend. Brannock pointed out that there are more than 5,000,000 veterans eligible to apply for disability insurance' benefits. Although they cannot share in the present dividend they may obtain information and rate schedules for this type of coverage from the contact office, VA Domiciliary, Camp White. 37 Disease Cases Reported in County Thirty-seven cases of com municable diseases were re ported to the Jackson County Health department last week, according to Dr. A.

WHAT'S UP FRONT New York - (UPD - Filter tips and mentholated brands now account for about 50 per cent of the U. S. cigarette market, according to trade sources. Notice of Allocations Received by Area FHA Notice of farm loan fund allocations for the new fiscal year has been received by the local Farmers Home adminis tration office, E. M. Denney, local supervisor, has an nounced. "Funds available for oper ating loans probably will be adequate to meet the needs in Josephine and Jackson counties," Denney said. This type of loan is used for finan cing the purchase of live stock, farm machinery, oper ating expenses and some re financing. Denney said he believed that sufficient Farm Housing loan funds also will be avail able for this area. This loan is for the financing of dwell ing and building improve ments on farms. However, there is a major change in regulations this year, Denney explained, which eliminates the authority for making these loans on small acreage tracts. It is now necessary to show that the farm unit will support a substantial farming operation. Editor Defends Papers' Rights Eugene - (UPD - An editor Thursday night defended the rights of newspapers to pub lish the names of juveniles involved in major brushes with the law. Robert B. Frazier, associate editor of the Eugene Register Guard, said "whenever a boy is arrested on a major charge, we will print his name if we can get it, and of course we can get it. I don't think the public would want us to do otherwise." He spoke at a panel dis cussion at the juvenile court summer school here. Circuit Judge Henry R. Riederer of Kansas City, Mo., said the basic philosophy of the juvenile court "is to con duct procedures in an in formal, confidential manner where no charges are actual ly made." Frazier said the times when the newspaper would break the usual silence about not publishing names of juvenile offenders were limited and would apply only to occasions when a major crime is involved. EARRING FANCIER Hartford, Vt.-(UPI)-Mrs. Con nie Johnson, a town officer, admits she owns 400 pair of earrings. , Interest in the soil and water conservation loans has picked up considerably, Den ney stated, due to the need for development of additional water supplies during a dry year. It is his opinion that funds for this particular loan type may be limited and the local allocation quickly used up. Another change in farmers home administration regula tions will limit the amount of refinancing which may be done under the farm-ownership loan program, Denney added. These loans may be used for land purchase, farm development and refinancing of real estate debts. Denney said that the Oregon alloca tion of F. O. funds was small and consequently few can be made unless private lenders can be located to provide funds under the insured loan program. The county office located in the Manchel building in Grants Pass serves both Jack son and Josephine counties. Social Security Office to Move The Medford Social Secur ity. Administration office will move Monday to its new loca tion in the Mall building, 1005 East Main St., suite 2, accord ing to Edward B. Jacobson, manager.

The Social Security office here has been in the Federal building, 33 North Riverside ave., for the past 714 years and prior to that the address was used as a contact station prior to an office being estab lished in Medford.
