Boycr Outlines Problems of County Planners at Meeting hpeaklne before the Ash. land Chamber of Commerce last week, Robert Boyer, Med ford lawyer and Jackson coun ty planning commission mem ber, noted three specific prob lems which have confronted the commission during the last year. He pointed out that the so lution to these problems is "as much up to you as to the plan ning commission." They are the Jacksonville area garbage dump, proposed establishment of a wrecking yard in the Cen tral Point area, and freeway construction. "When it became Immedi ately obvious that a dump was proposed for the Jacksonville area numerous meetings in and around Jacksonville were held to prevent use of the site in question," Boyer said. "Con cern for property values, for health, for safety and for the sightliness of the Jacksonville area were foremost." This problem occurred In the early part of last year when Jacksonville citizens were confronted with a gar bage dump being established by City Sanitary Service about a half mile of the city limits. Yet the people of Jackson. ville are independent, and be lieve, like many residents, that any regulation is tyranny, the planning commissioner noted. This group undoubted ly was one of the many of the area that voted against county zoning the two or three times - I tt NORTH CENTRAL ce SI Atpiria Twins (Adults) Calamine Letlon Plain, 4 it Camphorated 00, 2 az.

Phone SP 2-7113 FP.fi DILIVIRY that it has been placed the ballot, Boyer noted "If plain old property rights would prevail, City Sanitary Service was entitled to unlim. ited use of the land they had purchase d," the attorney pointed out. "On the other side of the ledger were the many inhabitants of the gen eral area who envisioned smoke, odor, and litter place of the view they had. Any projected planning in the growth of Jacksonville led to t h e inescapable conclusion that the dump would be in the way of such progress," he noted. "Today the dump ia in ex istence slightly south of Jack sonville. One's nose and eyes will testify those people that were concerned about what It would do to the general area in terms of living were right," ne added. Wracking Yard Problem Pointing up another plan ning problem, Boyer said dur ing July or August the Baker brothers near Central Point petitioned the planning com mission to establish a wreck ing yard northeast of Central Point. The only reason the matter was referred to the planning commission was that Wrecking requires a license approved by the county court, Boyer explained. The court used the license requirement to zone. On the other hand, Boyer noted that the applicant was seeking a living, had purchas ed his lands and by taking care of abandoned and old au tomobiles he performed a val uable function. , Residents did not want to view a wrecking yard from their properties, the lawyer said. When other land was ob tained on recommendation by the planning commission, the commission approved, but the county court turned It down on protest by numerous area residents, Boyer noted. Barrow Pit Problem Barrow pits from which fill material and surfacing mater ial is obtained post a third problem, the planning com missioner pointed out. In Jackson county we have a barrow pit within two or three blocks of a proposed public school site immediately north of Central Point," Boyer said. Fill material will be re quired north of Medford and several thousands yards of fill material and surfacing ma terial will be needed south of Medford, Boyer pointed out. It costs the state thousands of dollars for every additional mile that the prime contractor must go for his fill and sur facing material, Boyer said. Making the contractors find such . material some other place than the valley floor could increase the cost of the freeway materially, he added. The freeway poses another problem, he pointed out. Now there are few east-west arter ials. To establish a new east- west arterial after the free way is completed would mean a bridge or tunnel. However, if all laterals are projected now it would be possible to construct overpasses where the projected lateral might go in the future, he noted. "Tlie answer in all three cases is that only with plan ning and by anticipating future growth and develop ment can we hope to solve our problems," Boyer said. "We must have planning on the county level to protect the home-owner and the business man. We must have planning on a couty level so that we can have vision and foresight, and control in our develop ment patern," he said. Boycr listed as the accomp lishments of the county plan ning commission during the last 18 months as a subdivi sion ordinance, two interim zoning ordinances and that it is now working on a county building code. The commission is working closely with the state highway department to solve the bar row pit problem and has set up a regional planning board ; to tie all cities into over-all ' planning. ! County-Wide Planning "With awareness for the need for county-wide plan. ning we hope to have a county-wide Interim zoning ordinance before long and eventually pass zoning by a vote of the people," Boyer concluded. Giving a little background to the county planning pro gram, Boyer said the com. mission was created three years ago by appointments by the county court as author ized under state law. The basic objective is to provide a better environment for liv ing by planning and antici pating future growth and de velopment. The commission also strives to plan with minimum of regulation, he added. "We must protect the rights of individuals and at the same time solve the problems we face as a rapidly growing com munity," Boyer noted. The Family Council Editor1! Notti The Family CounrU conglsli of Judge, a ptvehtatrtet, tbreo clergymen, a new.paper editor a women'a editor and two wrlten. F.acb article ia a aummary ot an actual ,-a.e Imtory The Council reporti on problem! tbat have been dealt wl b by reipomlble agencies and Roberta J. - He haa taken a dislike to my faith. Henry J, - She's just trying to get my goat. e e Roberta J. - My husband and I have been married 12 years and have three children. We are on the verge of break ing up because of religious dif ferences. My family warned me not to marry outside my faith, but I wouldn't listen to them and now I see they were right. My husband promised me faith fully that he wouldn't inter fere with the religious train ing of the chlidren, but now he has changed his mind. I send them to a Sunday school of my faith just because I feel they should have some religious schooling. I'm not really religious myself. Henry has suddenly taken a violent dislike to everything about my faith. He is constant- ly after me to keep the kids away from the church which they happen to love. e e Henry J. - Roberta always said she had no interest in her own religion and admits she cares less about it than I do about mine. She is just send ing the children to the Sunday School to get my goat. She talks a lot of high-sounding stuff about children having to get religious schooling, but the words mean nothing at all. If I had been smart enough to keep my trap shut the first time she suggested Sunday School, she would have forgotten the whole thing by now. She s right, though, about my having taken a violent dis like to her faith. I went along with her and the kids a cou ple of Sundays and I never heard so much nonsense in my life. I have a right to my say about the kids' education. e e e The Council: - We doubt whether many marriages have actually broken up over re ligious differences in them selves, although religious dif ferences are among the favor ite excuses and weapons in marital battles. The fact is that deeply re ligious individuals, who have seriously studied the meaning of their faiths, get along well with members of other faiths. On the rare occasions when such persons marry someone from another faith, some solu tion is found to the child- rearing problem. " . Individuals with little or no religious understanding, how ever, sometimes marry out side the faith of their birth for reasons that have little to do with real love. Their basic at titudes are selfish ones and they pick up any handy weap ons to fight one another. Re ligious differences are con venient and they are used to the hilt. The problem of child rearing is also convenient and many battles are fought in which the children are mere pawns. The situation is a tragic one, but perhaps it would help couples like Roberta and Henry to recognize that re ligious differences are not tearing their home apart. The practice of true religion would not have such a result. The battle is a more personal one. It involves two partners who have not learned to love. We are sure that some solu tion can be found here, but Roberta and Henry must first decide to love one another and their children. If they stop trying to wound one another their eyes will be opened to the best path to follow in re lation to the children. (Copyright 1960. General Feature! Corp.)
