Trees . . . By JOHN GRIBBLE (Editor'i noiei The fol lowing eommenii on treee. parliculaily those adapta ble to street use in Medford. have been prepared by John Gribble, well known re tired forester, and will be run in a series during the 'ire planting season" here, no .7 under way.) Beauty of the flowering plants, shrubs and trees come and go with the seasons - and changing weather. These win dy, rain-soaking days are not good for looks nor looking, nor for fruit-setting, and are unfavorable for honey bees on neetar-huntng voyage. Flamboyant colors grasp our attention, and after win ter's more drab appearances the early spring blossoms make us want to linger longer as we drink in the beauty of the varying colors and shapes. A few specials are on dis play, and are worth a trip about town. Flowering peach and cherry, Japanese quince, and other exotic flowering shrubs and trees may be seen, as well as our native redbuds and garden flowers. And while looking, one might note odd characteristically shaped trees - as the monkey-puzzle trees - two at end of Wood stock, on Second. A few others in town: tall, narrow-crowned spruce - sort of self-hugging appearance, one at 325 Jackson towers up like a sentinel. A Cedar of Lebanon is at the northeast corner of Holly and Fourth, and a Metasequoia in front of the north end of Hawthorn park parking strip, is begin ning to clothe itself in its summer green, giving it the full appearance of an ever green. Some oaks are so full of the life-sapping mistletoe it forms the main part of the tree's crown. Nice flowering peaches are at 645 IPalm, 145 Oakdale, No. 1 Black Oak Drive. See the wide-spi eading orname n t a 1 crab in Vll bloom at Crown and Orgon Terrace. While there note the row of Pin Oaks on Queen Anne, where Dr Reddy's daughter, as a lit tle girl, carried pails of water, before and after school, to keep the young trees alive and growing. In the yard at 1103 Queen Anne is a globe-shaped beau tiful white-crownea iree. op posite side of yard is a tall slim Tulip tree. See it again when full of blossoms. Back of the gas station at Jackson and Central may be seen a bright Redbud. More Redbud and the Hawthorns will soon be opening their bright blossoms. Don't miss a drive Sunday in the Fairview Hillcrest area to see the tiny Daybreak, Akabono flower ing cherries. Visit the Winchester-Mount Pitt streets, where the newly planted Bechtel Crab trees line the parking strips. Watch them grow and en hance the beauty and value of that area.

Tills Is the slogan for Na tional Library Week April 3 9 in which the many libraries, both public and private, in Jackson county are joining with libraries throughout the United States to observe. This is the third consecutive year in which a week has been set aside for the purpose of focusing the nation's attention on the values of reading and the sources of reading ma terials. Reading is Indispensable to the American way of life, be cause, in the words of Omar Bacon, head librarian of the Public Library of Medford and Jackson county: Explore Forces "It is one channel which permits an individual to ex plore in depth and breadth the forces that beset him. Through knowledge gained by reading he can help to master his cul tural environment and con tribute not only to his own well being but also to that of his fellow man. "Libraries through their vast supply of books, periodi cals and pamphlets, provide for our age the best and also the varied thinking on our problems and our cultural values." Bacon points out that all medium try to present the im- Section C Medford ijfi5&& J, INTEGRATED LUNCHEON A group of white students from MacMurray College, Jacksonville, 111., laugh with Negroes at a lunch table in a Negro restaurant at Mont IfAre STEREOPHONIC BROADCAST . lr I Vanity and Jr. Vanity Medford High School m, i. a.m,.

What Library Gives "But our society needs to know about these subjects, which have a lesser mass ap peal, if we are effectively to face the many challenges of this age, and it is the library which can give us this knowl edge," he said. It is the purpose of library week, not only to promote use of public libraries but also use of private and personal libraries, of which there are many throughout the county, according to Otto Ewaldsen and Mrs. Harry Fuller, co chairmen of the week locally. A partial list of the libraries in the county would include the Public Library of Med ford and Jackson county in Medford and its seven branch libraries in Jacksonville, Tal ent, Phoenix, Central Point, Eagle Point, Butte Falls and Gold Hill. There are also two book stations, one each at Table Rock and Shady Cove, in this system.

Ashland, the Public Library of Rogue River, the library at Southern Oregon college, the libraries in virtually every school in the county, a law library at the courthouse, a medical library at the VA Domiciliary, church libraries, lodge libraries and club li braries. One would also have to in clude the many thousands of homes in the county which contain books in numbers from 2 to 2,000 and more, and which must be considered li braries of sorts. There are other sources of reading materials in the coun ty, such as Swem's book store in Medford and The Mart book store in Ashland. Not counting the school li braries, (the Medford elemen tary school system alone has an estimated 42,000 books,) the largest system in the coun ty is that of the Public Li brary of Medford and Jack son county. . Operated Under Contract This system is operated under a city-county contract whereby the Medford library administers the seven branch libraries and two book sta tions in exchange for financial support from the county. The 46,500 books in these libraries are periodically re circulated throughout the en tire system, so that patrons of any one branch will have a large number of different and Pages 1-10 Tribune gomery, Ala.

Mason is head librarian, has an estimated 39,146 volumes on its shelves including the Oregon Shakespearean Festi val association's collection of some 1,000 works by and about Shakespeare. Another sizeable library in Jackson county is located at Southern Oregon colelge. This 45,000- volume library exists primarily for the use of col lege students but is available for some limited public use, according to Miss Myrtle Funkhouser, head librarian. Plan Open Houses Most of the libraries throughout the county are planning open houses or other programs in observance of the week. The Medford library will officially open the "Oregon Alcove'' during the week. The alcove is located in the south east corner of the main read ing room and is devoted spe cifically to books about Ore gon. The concentration of books on Oregon all in one place will make it much easier for persons who want to read about the state to find the available information, Bacon said, and will also serve to show pride in the state by setting these books off from the rest. There will be several book displays at the Medford li brary, including displays of books which stress the value and need for reading, and the notable books of 1959. Braille Machine In addition to these will be an exhibit of a braille ma chine and samples of bcaille books which will be displayed through the courtesy of Mrs. Annette Gray, who does ex tensive work with the blind in the county, Bacon said. The Ashland library ' will have three downtown displays of books from the collection on Shakespeare and on a com parison of reading in the U.S. and Russia, according to Miss Mason. On Saturday, April 9, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. there will be a tea in the Ashland library's Gresham room, sponsored by Beta Sigma Phi in observance of the week. Distribute Place Mats Both the Ashland and Med ford libraries are cooperating in the distribution of place mats to various restaurants which will call attention to library week. Two television programs have been planned by county libraries in cooperation with one another.
