Greatest Period of
Air Pollution Was
Mazama Eruption
The greatest period of air
pollution for the Rogue river
valley was probably the time
after Mt. Mazama blew Its
top and formed Crater Lake,
but the greatest polluters of
air are people.
Today's generation is the
first to be concerned on a
large scale with the harmful
effects of man-made air pol
lution and only In recent
years have effective, wide
spread measures to control
and minimize air pollution
been undertaken.
These statements are taken
from an introduction to a re
port received here by the city
council Thursday from the
Oregon state sanitary author
ity. The sanitary authority
conducted a six-month study
into air pollution In Medford
on request of the city council.
The report points out that
some remarkable results, once
thought visionary and impos
sible, have been achieved.
Pittsburgh and St. Louis, for
example, have cleaned their
air and rediscovered horizons
they had lost. 1 '

If these once-smoky indus
trial giants, with investments
in factories of many millions
of dollars, could clean their
air, smaller communities with
pollution problems on a much
smaller scale should be able
to do it also, It was observed.
Medford and the Rogue val
ley is a region many have
sought out either as tourists
or as permanent and semi
permanent residents as re
lief from the smokes and
smells and air-borne irritants
of industrial metropolises, the
report points out.
The report states:
"It would be shameful if
the slogan 'It's the Climate'
which the Kogue River-Crater
Lake region has blazoned
for years were to be replaced
with a scornful 'It's the
Smoke.1
"For Medford has, as Its
residents are keenly aware,
an air pollution problem
one that In some periods be
comes severe."

Hearings Held

from Sutter St., west 320 feet.
The paving proposal was ap
proved by the council, but a

45,000 Books Are
Available at SOC
Ashland - Throughout the
Oregon state system of higher
education, a constant flow of
library books is exchanged
among the institutions to pro
vide Oregon students with
complete library facilities
conducive to personal re
search. "This sharing of volumes
supplements the 45,000 books
available to the students at
Southern Oregon college," ac
cording to Librarian Myrtle
Funkhouser.
The Southern Oregon col
lege library is housed in a
two-story modern building of
reinforced concrete, complet
ed In 1951. On the first floor
the library of children's lit
erature is maintained by Elea
nor Everett, librarian of chil
dren's literature, and her as
sistant, Wanda Ruger. This
special section is provided
with an eye to SOC majors
in elementary and secondary
education.
The second floor provides
ample office and work space
for the additional members
of the library staff, and will
seat 200 students. Here the
volumes are shelved, and
cataloged by the dictionary
method, a cross filing by title,
author, and subject matter.
Catalog librarian is Lucy Ann
Poucher.
Reference Librarian
Thorton Shivley, reference
librarian, handles the special
facilities offered by the main
library, including wall maps
and mounted art prints for
circulation. The library main
tains a newspaper room with
over 15 state papers received
daily. The Christian Science
Moniter is also available, and
both the Portland Oregonian
and the New York Times are
microfilmed from 1956 to the
present. The library sub
scribes to 400 periodicals
which are bound for refer
ence. A wide selection of phono
graph records, covering the
fields of drama, music, secre
tarial skills, and languages,
are offered for circulation.
A special collection of over
300 paper-back books is now
maintained by the Southern
Oregon college library. "The

of the planning commission.
Two public hearings were
scheduled by the council for
its regular meeting April 21.
One of these is for the South
Riverside area sanitary sewer
and the other for paving Ni
antic st. This will be the sec
ond public hearing on the
sanitary sewer, it was pointed
out, because after the sewer
was approved following the
first hearing several substan
tial changes in plans were
made.
'The council called for bids
for excavation, embankment,
curbs, gutters and base mater
ial on the 10th st., extension
from Riverside ave., to Will
amette ave., and Siskiyou
blvd., from the west line of
IOOF cemetery to Highland
dr. Bids were also called for
In this manner is enabling 11'
braries to take advantage of
relatively inexpensive vol
umes," Miss Funkhouser said.
Special Section
An additional special sec
tion of the library is the col
lection of text books for ele
mentary, junior high, and sen
ior high. An effort is made to
keep the collection up-to-date
and to include all of the texts
on the adopted list for Ore
gon. The first collection of ele
mentary and Junior high
school textbooks, totalling 760
volumes, was cataloged dur
ing the school year of 1938-39.
was begun in the spring of
1954.
Mildred Johnson is the Sou
thern Oregon college library,
assistant in charge of circu
lation. One of the unique fea
tures of her service is the non
existence of petty fines. The
library handles all late re
turns with concern about the
individual circumstances, and
levies fines accordingly.
Advisory Group
A faculty library commit
tee appointed by Dr. Elmo N.
Stevenson, president of Sou
thern Oregon college, serves
as an advisory body to the
librarian. Miss Funkhouser re
fers specific problems to the
five-man committee which
acts as a Iiason between fac
ulty and library. One member
of the committee is retired
each year and a new member
appointed.
M y rt 1 e Funkhouser has
been with the Southern Ore
gon college library since 1928,
and now has a staff of eight
members. Helen Sinko, li
brary assistant, Joyce Rust
catalog clerk, and Barbara
Cornell, secretary, work di
rectly under her supervision.
"Our library has improved
its facilities each year since
its founding in 1926," she
said. "With the added special
services we are now provi
ding, student at Southern
Oregon college is able to lo
cate reference material in al
most every conceivable field
of study. This we owe to ex
pansion of our own facilities
and expansion of libraries all
over the Oregon state system
of higher education."
