Rumors
Well, it happened again.
Someone reported a rumor
that Meier and Frank were
going to build a store In the
Medford area.
Yawn.
The latest rumor had It Ihit
Otto Nledcrmeyer had sold
the big department store cha'n
an 8-acrc plot in the vicinity
of Bybec's corner, a point lust
about equidistant from Med
ford, Jacksonville and Cen
tral Point.
After getting the tip Mon
day morning, we tried to call
Otto. When his phone didn't
answer, we tried his brother,
John. He wasn't home either,
but we left a message with
his wife asking him to call
us.
Otto finally called a few
minutes before deadline, and
we told him what we'd heard.
"There's nothing to that at
all," he said, after letting the
yarn sink in. "I haven't sold
any land to anyone."
Brother John called next
and greeted the "news" with
a horse laugh.
"That makes about the 15th
plot of land that Meier and
Frank have bought down
h'jrc," said John after regain
ing his composure. "They're
going to build one heckuva
lot of stores!"
Just one would suffice.

When the repairman hauled
our antique typewriter away
Monday for the second time
in as many months, we
thought we might stand a
chance of getting a new one.
No such luck.
"When we get a new type
writer up here." said Great
White Father, "we play mu
sical chairs for It - and we
play by seniority."
Disheartened but not de
feated, we spent Monday aft
ernoon using a borrowed ma
chine. Bright and early Tues
day, the repairman returned
our own typewriter.
And, for sentimental rea
sons, we were glad to get it
back. It may be old but it has
an Interesting history.
A reporter in Boston once
used it to write a story about
a Tea Party.
Walter Higgins, executive
director of Rogue Valley
Manor, says one of the mem
bers approached him Just
before Christmas to offer
her congratulations. She
said she thought the lights
strung across the top of the
building were beautiful and
that it certainly was thought
ful of him to have had them
placed there during the
Yule season.
Higgins didn't have heart
to tell her the truth.
The lights were up there
so the concrete finishers
could see what they were
doing.

Youths Campaign
For Election at
CP Junior High
By DORIS HUGHES
Mail Tribune Coirespondent
Central Point - Central
Point Junior High school will
hold its annual elections next
Thursday, according to Rich
ard Traylor, student council
advisor.
Applications must be check
ed by each teacher for grade
' averages and citizenship. Each
student must have a 3-point
average or better and contin
uous satisfactory citizenship
before being accepted to can
didacy. Each application is
signed by all teachers in
volved. Second step in the elections
requires that all students
make campaign speeches one
week before election. These
speeches are made before the
student body so that appear
ance, poise, originality, and
confidence can be observed
by the voters.
Campaign Posters
Posters are displayed and
all candidates conduct gen
eral campaign efforts during
the final week before elec
tions. Candidate posters are
placed by selection of the
poster committee -whose du
ties are to Inspect posters for
size, originality, and attracr
tiveness as specified by the
student body constitution. Ac
cording to Traylor, excessive
or expensive poster or cam
paign materials are discouraged.
Traylor stated that leader
ship and citizenship training
was quite apparent by student
enthusiasm and the good Judg
ment that has been exempli
fied by the selection of past
student body officers. Stu
dent body members have al
ways exceeded 90 per cent in
their voting turn out, he add
ed. Principal George Johns
stated that this year pnly
grades six and seven will vote
in the Junior high school elec
tion, whereas in years past
all grades, three through
eight, had participated. Stu
dents in all grades have indi
cated that the present organi
zation does not give students
in the lower grades full op
portunity for leadership par
ticipation, he said.
Changes Slated
According to a recent vote,
all grades, three through
eight, have chosen to have
two separate councils - one
for Junior high and one for
grades three through six. Full
extent of this change will take
place next fall when grades
three through six will develop
their own student council,
elect their own officers, and
develop their own constitu
tion. Johns pointed out that
this separation will provide
more student participation,
both for leadership and citi
zenship and that student coun
cil meetings will be better ad
justed to meet the needs of
both groups.
Manor to Aid Local Economy,
Higgins Tells Ashland Group
Ashland Rogue Valley
Manor, the swank apartment
building now under construc
tion atop a hill Just south of
Medford, will make a "very
sound" contribution to the lo
cal economy, the manor's
executive director told the
Ashland Chamber of Com
merce yesterday.
"Frankly," continued Wal
ter Higgins, "it's a windfall to
this valley."
Higgins, addressing t h e
chamber's noon luncheon
meeting at Omar's, backed up
his statements by saying that
65 to 70 per cent of the el
derly retired persons who will
live at the manor will come
from outside the state, thus
Officers Elected
By Williams PTG
Williams - Mrs. Loretta
Rak was named chairman and
Mrs. Alice Hyde vice chair
man when the Parent-Teacher
group of Williams school
elected officers recently.
Other new officers are Mrs.
Elizabeth Beard, secretary,
and Mrs. Shirley Fisher, treas
urer. Plans were made for the
school cooks, Marian Brtttsan
and Gertrude Davidson, to at
tend cooking classes July 11
13 at Oregon State college.
The classes, open to all schools
in Oregon, offer the latest In
formation on meal planning
and nutrition.
Mothers in Williams band
together each summer to can
and freeze foods, obtained
either from their own gardens
or from donations by neigh
bors. They have found that
this not only cuts the cost of
lunches, but also provides
more balanced meals for the
students.
Pre-School Clinic
Set in Applegate
Applegate Valley - A pre
school clinic will be held in
the Applegate school building
next Wednesday from 9:30
a.m. to noon, unnaren wno
plan to enter first grade in
September are eligible to attend.
Immunizations will be of
fered and Dr. C. I. Drum
mond. county health officer,
will be the examining physi
cian. It is asked that each first
grade child receive a physical
examination at this clinic or
from his own physician before
entering school.
Appointments for the clinic
may be made by calling
PRovolt 2506.
brinelng "new money and
new tourism" to this area.
Construction of the 10-story,
$53.4 million building is
"about" on schedule, Higgins
continued, and the manor
should be completed by the
scheduled contract date of
Nov. 28.
About 80 employees will
be on the manor's payroll on
a year-round basis, he added,
and they, together with the
325 to 350 persons who will
live there, will insure that
the manor has "a very healthy
economic impact on the com
munity." Self-Sustaining
Higgins emphasized that the
building Is being constructed
by a non-profit corporation
and that Rogue Valley Manor
will be self-sustaining.
In short, that means it won't
cost taxpayers a penny.
The manor itself, he added,
Is "as fire-proof a building as
can be made. It's designed to
last about a hundred years."
Higgins also pointed out
some other facts about the
manor:
' It will contain some 3Vi
acres of carpeting.
Laundry equipment costing
$28,000 was delivered last
month.
The auditorium will seat
400 persons, thereby enabling
members to take local resi
dents to social functions as
guests.
Hill Is 'Sturdy'
The hill on which the man
or is being constructed "is
solid rock-it's sturdy."
The manor will be air-conditioned
summer and winter.
It's constructed so that only
14 apartments will be over
looking the parking lot.
18 Candidates Talk
At Prospect Event
Prospect - Eighteen candi
dates for nomination in the
May 20 primary elections
spoke at the Prospect "candi
dates' fair" Monday evening.
Each candidate spoke for
about five minutes and many
of them later spent time visit
ing with local residents.
The event was sponsored by
the Prospect PTA, with Mrs.
Doris Boothby, PTA legisla
tive chairman, in charge.
Members can furnish the
apartments themselves or let
the corporation furnish them.
They also can choose colors
for their carpets, tile and
walls.
Higgins said the smallest
apartment will cost $8,500 for
lifetime use while the largest
will cost $30,000. The three
intermediate prices, he added,
are $10,625, $15,625 and $23,1
000. Majority of the apart
mcnts will be those costing
$10,625 ad $15,625 for life
time use.
Assurance Fund
Members will deposit $50
for each month of their prob
able life expectancy upon en
tering the manor, Higgins
said, with the money going
into the corporation's "life
care assurance fund plan."
That fund, he said, is de
signed to eliminate the "one
deadly problem" of operating
such an establishment, that of
persons entering the manor
and later running out of
money.
Higgins emphasized that
there are no mortgages be
cause all funds are kept with
in the 36-mcmber corporation
which operates the manor,
thus members will have no
fears of being evicted.
"They can't foreclose on
themselves," Higgins concluded.
