Labels Branded As 'Tomfoolery' Salem -UPD- Frank McKen- non. director of the Oregon Department of Agriculture, todav branded as "tomfool ery" the practice of putting labels on cranberries found free of contamination by a weed killer. "This department will not require labels on cranberries sold In the Oregon market," he said. "Fresh berries on the Ore gon market are safe for hu man .consumption. The fact that we permit them to be there is our guarantee to the people of Oregon."

Station KBOY 730 K.C Council Acts on Several Items Including Street Maintenance The city will repair and maintain Maiden pi., and oth er related streets in the Coun try Club Manor subdivision, the Medford city council de cided Thursday night. Several residents of Maiden pi. attended the meeting to present their case. They said the street was in such bad re pair, school buses would not be operated on it, and mail had to be picked up at the corner. ' 4 Residents also contended that during rains, surrounding streets drain water into Mai den pi., where it stands. There is a sewer along the street, but gutters are not connected to it, they said. Developed Five Years Ago City Manager Robert Duff said the subdivision was de veloped five years ago, and when the area was annexed to the city, the streets were not accepted by the council. The developer, Rogue Valley Land company, he said, has indicated to the city on sev eral occasions that the com pany would improve the streets, but apparently has not done so. The council, in voting to im prove the street, said it felt the developer still is respon sible, but complaints of resi dents along the street could no longer be ignored. A simi lar request was presented to the council by area residents about two years ago. The council asked that an account record be kept of im proving and maintenance costs, and all future inquiries and requests by the Rogue Valley Land company be re ferred to the council. Other Action t ,.ii I ing oils ,. ,. I Hearing Granted approved liquor license appn- pany was granted an amend ment to its lease to provide for sales of gasoline and lubricat- cations for grocery stores. Jt referred requests for liquor license applications and re newals of retail malt beve rage and dispensor establish ments to the next meeting to obtain more information. The council will consider at its next meeting requests of the owners of Brown's Cafe to change the business from a partnership to a corporation. A request for a transfer of ownership of the North River side Tavern, by Hazelton En terprises Inc., also was con tinued until the next meeting. A spokesman for Hazelton Enterprises said immediate ac tion was requested so contract negotiations could be carried out. However, the council said a report of an investigation by the Oregon state liquor commission had not been re ceived and until it is received, no approval could be given. Liquor License The same was true on a re quest for a liquor license by Ping's Gardens. Chief of Po lice Charles Champlin said more information woma De provided to the council. The council voted to cancel an existing agreement witn John F. White and agree to allow him to construct private hangers at the airport. The new agreement will permit him to construct the hangars at different locations than the original agreement provided. The Valley Aviation com- ) j SOUP la HUT giW. 1 ft' ij " " Ns.

Cetnral at 10th - Phone SP 2-5201 A hearing was granted the Mail Tribune's request to have the city vacate an alley behind the Mail Tribune building. The council accepted dedi cation of American ave. and Elk st., and referred plans and specifications on Perr pi. to the planning commission for a recommendation. The council approved pave--ment, curbing and guttering of Mary st., and approved pav ing Eighth st. to the new bridge across Bear creek. An ordinance was adopted assessing property owners fronting on Mary st. for curbs, gutters, and paving. Duff not ed that the assessment was less than the expected $7 per square foot. Cost is $5.50 per square foot because existing facilities were utilized. The council authorized Duff to enter into an agree ment with Valley Aviation company to operate tie down areas at the airport. Previ ously, both Valley Aviation and Rogue Flying service had divided the tie down areas, but Rogue Flying service noti fied the city it would with draw from the tie down agree ment. Stop Signs Approved Authority was given the traffic engineering depart ment to install stop signs at the intersection of Barnett rd. and Stewart ave.; Barnett rd. and Ellendale dr.; Crater Lake ave. and Grand ave.; and Berrydale ave. and Howard ave. ' The council authorized relo cation of parking meters from West Main st. between Holly and Ivy sts. to South Front st. and East Ninth, st., where parking is thought to become critical when the Jackson County Federal Savings and Loan association building is constructed. The council approved the Medford Office Equipment's request to restrict parking in front of its building at 41 South Grape st. to two hours because of a loading problem. Councilmen Ed Hall and Robert Van Sickle voted no, but the rest of the council voted to uphold a planning commission recommendation that a variance in set back be granted Dan Patch for a home constructed at Ellen ave. fac ing Marilee st. Request Approved A planning commission rec ommendation that Dean Mar cum, 515 Park pi. No. 5, be permitted to renew his vari ance for six months to allow a trailer house alongside his home was approved, with the express recommendation that it not be renewed. Councilman Robert Baccus suggested a hearing be held to discuss the possibility of re locating the engine recently moved to Jackson park. He suggested the engine be moved to another part of the park so as not to annoy near by residents. However, the motion died for lack of a second. Lombard Named Chamber President Ashland - Ben T.

The operators of what is known as the "photo registry scheme' prey on gullible par ents who think a photograph of their youngsters may earn $500 or-more for use in ad vertising, McNeil said re cently. These ' promoters, he said, solicit photos for use in a "mug book," a collection of pictures which is sent to ad vertisers, ad agencies and pub lishers. They also solicit a fee, usually $10, McNeil said. Paients Told Parents are told that they may earn more than $500 if an advertiser selects their child's photo from one of the albums. The albums, McNeil continued, are forwarded "un solicited, unwanted and usu ally unused" to the advertisers. McNeil said surveys con- j source' of child photos. j'tell whether the children are ducted by the National Belter I Reasons for this, he said, suitable; the youngsters are Business Bureau, of which the local chamber is a member, show that -ad concerns do not use these "mug books'' as a are numerous-the photos are not current and usually are of such quality that the adver tiser finds it impossible to not geographically available, and the necessary legal work would make the cost prohibitive.
