MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Wednesday, Feb. 3, 1960 Out .on I n n By BOB WALTERS lil ft jfajsk 0My Jf&;M Ashland residents, who seem to count it a blessing ; just to live there, now have . something else to be proud of-their new city hall. It's quite a place. The city council held its first meeting in its new cham bers last night, and they all seemed impressed with their !plush surroundings. The '. chambers include a wall-to-' wall carpet, thick leather swivel chairs and a view .overlooking the Plaza. "Don't bring anyone up here," cracked City Attorney Harry Skerry, "and then try .to tell them we're poor." Mayor Richard Neill, City - Superintendent Elmer Biegel, "who's responsible for much "of the work; Councilman Glenn Revel and City Record er W. E. Bartelt accompanied :us on a tour of the hall last 'night. The work, which start- ed last October, isn't quite finished yet but Biegel said it should be within the next ;tvvo weeks or so. The buildings interior fea tures various kinds of wood paneling, with modem furn ishings and fixtures through out. Hard for someone who hasn't lived in this area long to believe it was a fire hall only a half-dozen years ago. Mayor Neill said the city will hold open house about the first of March so Ash landers can tour the premises and see where their elected and appointed officials handle the job of guiding the com munity. - "Fine," said Bartelt. "Let's hold it on a Sunday." "Nope," replied the mayor with what seemed to us a sa- aisiic grin, vveii noia it oil a Monday-early Monday." - A poiluck dinner and dance at the Phoenix Com munity club last Saturday night was lo have been the first in a series of commu-".- niiy events designed io help ihe townsfolk get better ac quainted with their neigh- . bors. From what we heard, it ,". was flop. . Only 35 persons (of. a population of 875, accord ing lo the sign ai the edge of town) attended ihe din ner and the dance floor wasn't exactly a mob scene. There were seven couples. Mrs. Lloyd (Nick) Niko dym, co-chairman for the event, told Mail Tribune Reporter Joe Cowley, also a Phoenix resident, ' that "most of the people who at tended the dance were from outside the communi ty. Few of the community leaders showed up." "If we can't get more c o m m u nity participation than that," she told Joe, "we mights as well annex the town io Medford." Maybe Mrs. Nikodym is a Utile bitter. Then again, - after working hard on a TlTniprt rtnlw irk caA it talra a nosedive, maybe she has good reason. Grandma, according to Evalyn Watson, our Shady Cove correspondent, was giv ing the new bride a heart-to-heart talk: ' "Child,' she said, "I hope your lot is going to be easier .than mine. All my wedded days I've been carrying two burdens-Pa and the fire. Ev "ery time I've turned to look .at one, the other's gone out." And speaking of going out. . . :NAME SAFETY CHAIRMAN t- Central Point Delmer JSmith announced that the Crater High school FFA chap iter has elected a new farm 'safety chairman, Alan Bray, a freshman.

Get Doau Pw Voters to Decide School Bond Issue By MARY KELL Gold Hill - Parents and pa trons of district 6C wil vote on a $295,000 bond isue to morrow. Gilbert Mack, prin cipal of Patrick and Hanby Elementary schools, said vot ers in Gold Hill may cast their votes in the band room at the Hanby school between the hours of 2 and 8 p.m. He said the building pro gram is important to the en tire district for it would give KEY CORRESPONDENTS Six correspond ents from the larger communities inside the Mail Tribune's circulation area last week visited Medford for a luncheon and brief ing on the paper's new Regional News page.

(Photo by Ken Knackstedt) Shower Planned for House Fire Victims Shady Cove-Residents here will hold a community show er at the VFW hall at 8 p.m. Saturday for the Ed Brown family, whose home was de stroyed by fire early last Fri day morning.' The family at present is living in a trailer on their property on Long Branch rd., about four miles from Shady Cove. ' Miscellaneous contributions will be welcome at the shower according to Mrs. Joe Waltz, Shady Cove. Friends of the Brown family, she said, plan to help them build a home in the garage on their land. GOLD HILL NEWCOMERS Gold Hill - Recent new comers here are Mr, and Mrs. Jerry Martin and six young sters from Inglewood, Calif. DONATIONS NEEDED Rogue River -The Rogue River Community Chest is asking for donations of quilt pieces or material. Donors may leave the goods at the home of Mrs. Phil Engles or Mrs. William White or call JU 2-3453. Meadows The Meadows Friendly Neighbors club will meet next Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Curtis McRea, Antioch rd. the schools of district 6C the physical facilities that would enable them to continue to meet state education stand ards. He pointed out that it is necessary to meet state school standards in space per pupil both within the classroom and on the playground if the dis trict is to continue to receive the state education money al loted each year. This makes up a considerable part of each year's school budget, Mack said. He stressed that this money from the state has been to taling about 35 per cent of each year's budget expendi ture in district 6C. In 1958 59 it exceeded 37 per cent. -New Cafeteria The proposed building plan, Mack said, would bring to Gold Hill four additional classrooms, two toilet areas and a cafeteria complete with kitchen and stage. This will make unnecessary the many bus trips between the two schools. These trips are neces sary to bring Patrick children to Hanby daily for cafeteria lunches. Other trips are neces sary when youngsters need to use a gym floor for physical education classes and need a stage, for participation in school programs and assem blies. By voting "yes" the patrons of district 6 would insure ade quate facilities for the school children, he said, and also would safeguard nearly one third of a million dollars of state school money that dis trict 6C receives each year to help buy the items a school needs to function properly. The polling place in Cen tral Point will be at the Cen tral Point Junior High gym and, at Sams Valley, school patrons may vote in the auditorium. Public Meeting Sei Tonight on Water Bond Issue Phoenix A public meeting will be held in the Phoenix grade school gymnasium at 7:30 p.m., Monday, Feb. 8, to discuss a proposed water de velopment bond issue, Mayor Arthur MacKintosh an nounced Tuesday. The meeting to discuss the proposed $15,000 bond issue was agreed to by ihe Phoenix city council at Monday night's meeting. The money would be used to put two new wells in oper ation and to extend a water pipeline along A st. to the new subdivision being planned south of Phoenix, Irving Hanscom, city watermaster, explained. The pipeline would extend 1,064 feet along A st. and a pipeline 13,011 feet long would be needed to hook up one of the two new wells to the city reservoir, Hanscom said. The well with the larger capacity should pump into the reservoir when needed and the smaller capacity well would be connected with the other well.. The larger capacity well can pump 275 gallons a min ute and the smaller one 60 to 70 gallons a minute. The two wells are not in use now, Hanscom pointed out. The city would have four wells to draw from with passage of the bond issue. The city is using only one well now, he said. The well pump would start shooting water into the reservoir auto matically when triggered by a float device in the reservoir, the watermaster said. This is the same type of hookup used now. The two wells were brought BOB WALTERS, Regional Editor CORRESPONDENTS: Applegaie Valley Maude Ziegler, TW 9-1333 Butte Falls Mary Jo Harris, TO 5-2126 Central Point Doris Hughes, NO 4-1106 Eagle Point Doiiie Harbison, HI 6-3274 Gold Hill-Sams Valley Mary Kell.

The first Phoenix Presbyterian church was located on the property and the graveyard was then the church cemetery.

The club was praised by the city council Monday night as town officials went on record favoring the club's cemetery cleanup project.
