CIVIC CENTER Pictured above are the boundaries of
the proposed Medford civic center. This preliminary plan
was approved by the city planning commission iasi Tnurs
day night, and will now go to the city council for its
consideration. The city has sent a letter to the general
services administration In Washington, D.C., asking that
the proposed $2 million federal building be located within
these boundaries. The GSA has already advertised for
property with preferred boundaries somewhat larger than
those shown above. As marked on the map, the library.
west side city park and county courthouse are already
located in this area, and according to City Manager Robert
Duff, it is noped Inai fuiure staie and city buildings will
also locate here. The plan is based on one orginally drawn
up for the city by Jacob L. Crane Jr., In 1031. City plan
ners are now devising a more complete plan which would
show exactly the preferred sites for various future build
ings, but doubt that it will be ready in time for the federal
building.

Wnich should 4 ivillablt in

Wood Industry
Dominates State
Manufacturing
Wood using Industries of
Oregon still dominate manu
facturing activities In the
state, according to preliminary
industry reports ot the Census
of Manufactures for 1958.
The reports, now available
from the Portland field office
of the U. S. department of
commerce, shows that these
Industries In 1958 accounted
for 56 per cent of all manufac
turing employment and 53 per
cent of new values added by
manufacturing. This compares
to 60 per cent of the employ
ment and 61 per cent of the
values added by manufactur
ing in 1U54.
Basic cutting of trees is giv
ing way to further refinement
of product and creation of
greater values from a smaller
quantity of wood, according to
changes seen within the wood j
Industries of the state.
Preliminary Reports
Preliminary industry re-'
ports show declining employ- j
ment and value added by '
manufacture in sawmill and
planing mill industry and for 1
logging camps and contrac-!
tors. The state's sawmills and j
planing mills reported 12.410
or 28 per cent less persons on
the payroll Nov. 15, 1058. than
on the same date in 1954.
Employment by 1 o g g i n g
camps and contractors for the j
same period was 20.4 per cent
below 1954 levels. Values add-1
ed by manufacture fell 25 to j
1 1 per cent, respectively, In
the four-year period.
However, in the prefabricat
ed wood products and wood
preserving activities In the
state, employment declined 28
to 16 per cent, respectively.
Values added by manufacture
increased 15 8 and 1 per cent.
Veneer mills during the
four-year period led all others
in the state in rate of growth.
Employment climbed 149 per
cent and value added by man
ufacture rose 160 per cent.
Plywood mills, shingle mills
and millwork plants showed
substantial increases in both
employment and new values.
Pulp, paper and products In
dustries reported a 15 per
cent increase In employment
and a 82 per cent Increase in
value added by manufacture
In til 1954 .18 pwiud.
Mrs. Harry Fuller, recorder
for the Free Time Activities
workshop, reported on the
panel discussions on oppor
tunitles for satisfying living
for older people In the fields
of (a) social companionship
among their contemporaries
through clubs; (b) using their
creative abilities in senior
centers; (c) developing their
mental abilities in discussion
groups and adult education;
and (d) the use of their leader
ship qualities and experience
in various forms of community
service after retirement.
The group recommended
that county and city govern
ments provide free space for
the recreational activity of
senior citizens; that the state
council publish a monthly bul
letin to inform all groups what
others are doing in this field;
that service clubs consider as
part of their program, what
service they provide for the
elderly; and that the state
council on aging present a
yearly ward for the most out
standing work for senior citizens.

Visual Aids Diroctor
Writes for Publication
Ashland - Important ques
tions which must be consid
ered for the success of an audio-
visual - aids department
were discussed in the May is
suo of the "Oregon Visual
News" by Jim McDonald,
head of the AVA department
for Jackson county public
schools.
The publication is produced
by the Oregon state system of
higher education, department
of visual instruction.
"What Is the nature and
scope of service that should
be logically assigned to an audio-visual
instructional mate
rials center?" McDonald
asked.
This question, involving the
qualifications for personnel,
extent of local production,
gaining proper support by fac
ulty administers, and other
problems of the center, must
be answered with considera
tion of the needs and desires
of the particular locale, he
said.
Secondly, McDonald asked,
"What is the ideal location of
the audio-visual or instruc
tional materials center?"
Should a center service a sin
gle district, county, multiple
counties, or should regional
service units bo set up
throughout the state?
This, too, ho answered,' de
pends largely on the locale
and particular problems of the
center.
The most Important thing,
McDonald concluded, "Is that
if audio-visual education is to
grow and mature to its right
ful place in Oregon, audio
visual personnel and leaders
collectively and Individually
must take a long hard look at
answering the above ques
tions and then pursue their
statements of conviction into
reality."
The United States census
bureau was made a permanent
part of the government in
1902.
