Out .on I

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. . .

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

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
