Eagle Point Mayor Ed Putman unveiled the comme morative plaque dedicating the building to the "Youth of the Community by Tts Citi zens" and announced that the city council was happy to stand behind and assist the people in their desire to keep one step ahead of the youth in their walk of life.

Hanscom staled that $400 had been netted on the bene fit breakfast that morning, all of which will be donated to the building fund. This will buy about 1,250 blocxs. Hanscom said price of the blocks had been cut a straight 20 per cent and that approxi mately 24,000 feet of lumber had been donated by various lumber industries for the building, which w o u amount to about $2,300 in savings. He said $1,100 had been spent as of Sunday with about $1,600 still needed over and above the unpaid pledges to complete the block work. Hanscom slated that the only cost for using the build ing would be to help pay the lights and fuel, which would be very minor as it would cost about $2 for an all-day session using all of the lights and that the fuel being used was saw dust. Two fireplaces located in two rooms also will pro vide heat. Glenn Clymer said the Lions club had given about $450 for the building and that members had spent ap proximately 12,000 man hours said a complete list of all organizations and businesses contributing to the building would be published when the building is completed.

Discussion will center on the school budget and the club picnic slated for June or July. Family dm The atmosphere at Briscoe Elementary school in Ash land fairly tingled with sus pense and excitement last: Thursday when fourih, fifth and sixth grade pupils packed the auditorium to see one of their schoolchums receive an ' award. To be presented was a Green Guard award plus a Service Under Fire certificate! and a pocket knife bearing! the "Keep Oregon Green") slogan. On hand to make the: presentations were Al Weis-j endanger, Salem, state execu-j live secretary of the Keep! Oregon Green committee; j Dale Prentice, chairman of the Jackson county commit tee, and Ashland Ranger Har old (Red) Thomas. None of the youngsters in the audience knew the iden tity of the lad to be honored. It was a well-kept secret. Committee and school offi cials gathered on the stage knew, of course, that the awards were going to Timmy Reeder, 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Reeder. Timmy had spotted a new outbreak of Ashland's big forest fire last summer and quickly reported same. The students were reason ably quiet and the program well under way when con fusion developed among the officials. The problem? No Timmy. Young Mr. Reeder wasn't feeling well and was home in bed. Prentice and Thomas made speedy recoveries and drove to the Reeder home to make the presentations. Timmy crawled out of the sack, dress ed, collected the awards and posed for photographs. Meanwhile, back at the au ditorium, Mr. Weisendanger was still filling the air with Timmy's praises. To us, though, it didn't seem too important that Tim my missed the big shindig at school. After all, he was around when it really counted. Medlord Police Chief Charles P. Champlin, head of the local Parking Ticket Storm Troopers, was caught momentarily off balance at the annual School Patrol banquet at Hedrick Junior High school last Friday. The chief was passing out envelopes containing pa trol badges to the various school captains. The pro cedure was pretty smooth -present an envelope with the left hand and shake hands with the righl-until one lanky young man ap proached the stage. The lad faked a hand shake with his right, took the envelope with his left, shook hands with his right and topped it off by shak ing hands again with his left. Champlin flushed and was a little jumpy for a mo ment, but we'll have to give him credit for devotion to duty. He handed out the rest of the envelopes with out a hitch. No replies .so far to what some of our friends crudely referred to as our "advertise ment" for a good-looking, blue-eyed blonde, but we took heart upon reading an item in Monday's classified ad section. "FOR SALE." read the headline. "JUNE BRIDES." And it went on to say: ". . . wilh economy and nesting in stincts in mind... don't miss this buy of a lifetime . . . plus a 4-romn home newly reno vated, in a top notch neigh borhood . . . $65 mo. rent . . . please call any time for fur ther information . . ."
