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."
Added McKennon: "We will
not be a party to this tom
foolery in which private con
cerns are permitted to have
printed and to attach labels
on berries tested and released
by the federal officials."

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.

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.

Explosion Danger
In Ashland Found
By ICC Official
Ashland-For more than an
hour Thursday, this city was
in danger of exploding into
another Roseburg.
A truck and frailer loaded
with 6,890 pounds of explo
sives was parked along - the
curb behind the Union Oil
station at the junction of
Highways 66 and 99, accord
ing to city police. The truck's
cargo included 5,000 pounds
of nitrocarbonitrate, the ex
plosive which leveled down
town Roseburg last Aug. 7.
The vehicle was spotted by
C- M. Hiigel, district super
visor for the Interstate Com
merce Commission, Portland,
and his ' associate, ' A. E.
Odoms, and reported to Ash
land police at 12:30 pjn.
En Route to Portland
The truck driver, Michael
R. Hoepner, 36, Albany,
Calif., was en route from San
Francisco to Portland, accord
ing to the officers who an
swered the call, Sgt. Roy Han
son and Patrolman Bruce
Hoy.
Hoepner told police he had
permission of Bill Stults, own
er of the service station, to
park 'the truck while he made
a phone call to Grants Pass
and had coffee at a nearby
cafe. Stults said he was not
aware of the danger involved.
Hoepner and the owners of
the truck, Bee Line of Berke
ley, Calif., will be cited to
appear in Federal court on
charges of violation of motor
carrier safety regulations.
ber of Commerce Manager
Don McNeil.
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.
