o o o o WEDNESDAY. JUNE 8. 1960 Hospital, Disposal Plant Account for Ashland Increases Ashland -i Construction of a new hospital and sewage disposal plant account for ' most of the Increase in the $2,493,947 city budget ap proved by the Ashland city council on recommendation of ra citizens! budget committee. The new budget is $841,294 : higher than the current bud - get. Expenditures include ' $507,173 for the hospital, and . $482,975 for the disposal 'plant. ' City taxes for the coming year were estimated by City Superintendent Elmer Biegel to be about 21 mills, compar ed to 17.3 this year. The hos pital bond issue passed by voters last year accounts for most of the increase. General Fund Budget The general fund . budget shows anticipated expendi ' tures of $243,258, compared to Tunnel of Production Good by Reviewer What type of play should - Footlighters offer the com- - munity?. Throughout the years " the group has attempted to present a varied fare, and the '.. continued growth of this little theater group indicates that . it has been successful jn pleas- ing the public. Murder mysteries, melo : dramas, children's plays, classic favorites and Broad way hits have all been at tempted. Local groups more or less reflect trends in the ' theater in the big cities and - drama schools, and in recent years Footlighters have pro duced several of the high speed Broadway hit comedies. ; These plays, such as the last : Footlighter production, "Pic . nic," have been well received, ' and have played to increas ., ingly large audiences. Contemporary Play , "Tunnel of Love" which ' opened last night at the Fair grounds little theater is such a i contemporary play. Written ' by Joseph Fields and Peter De Vries, it deals with a moral problem never before present i ed in such a fashion on a Med- - ford stage (at least not In the ' memory of this reporter). It does so-in-typical Broadway fashion with frank unabashed comedy ' dialogue that con ceivably might make some of the theatergoers wince. But the laughs follow at least, they did last night. In addition to the fact that "Tunnel of Love" is contem porary in setting, dialogue and mood, it is especially suitable for small theater production in other ways. It has but six persons in the cast, uses but one set and the action is sue- TONITE!

Love' Said cessfully squeezed into the narrow confines of the Foot lighter theater. This reviewer is continually impressed with the ingenuity of the Foot lighters set builders. In Director Frank Buchter's cast of six persons are two sea soned players, some who have worked in litle theater a short time and one who was trying his theatrical wings for the first time since college days. Dr. Eugene Ray, who plays the part of the "butterfly hus band who flits from flower to flower" turns in an excellent performance for an amateur. After he successfully fought off the first few minutes of opening night tenseness and recovered a forgotten line, Dr. Ray did very well indeed. He has a sense of timing on lines and action which stands him in good stead in this role. Other Parts Bette Lu Foster plays the role of his always pregnant wife with color and vivacity, but with,the restraint of good taste; Loretta Ware, playing her second role in a Footlight er play, is showing commend able dramatic improvement. In "Tunnel of Love" she puts appeal and considerable emo tional depth into the role of the "wronged wife." Les Boardman is cast as Augie Pole, who believes he is a failure as an artist, a hus band and as a man. The diffi culties and potentialities of this role are the deepest in the play, and for the most part this actor gives a convincing performance. Such a role could tax the capabilities of the most talented profesional. Rounding out the cast are Jerry Jerome and Virginia Lusk, cast as two social work ers. Miss Jerome's role is that of the "investigator" who is the means of supplying the childless Pooles with the baby they so badly want, and in a most unconventional fashion. This good amateur actress has played many Footlighter roles and she gives her usual suave performance. Mrs. Lusk has only a few minutes on stage, but she is impressive during these few moments. Her make-up and stage performance last night were fine. "Tunnel of Love" continues through Saturday night and tickets are on sale at Puruck er's Music house or may be obtained by telephoning Mrs. Lusk, SPring 2-8635, or Mrs. Laurence C.

Potential Builders Of Homes Support Legislation Washington-The Congress man from the largest lumber- producing district in the Unit ed States has urged people interested in building new homes to write to Albert Rains (D-Ala.), chairman of the housing subcommittee, and express support for pend ing legislation to "stimulate and stabilize home construc tion." Rep. Charles O. Porter (D- Ore.) of Oregon's Fourth Con gressional district, today call ed attention to the bill the housing subcommittee has in troduced and which may be come part of an omnibus housing program later this month. The legislation elim inates down payment require ments on the first $13,500 of home value under the FHA program. Extension to 35 Years Other features of the leg islation include: 1. Extension of the FHA regular home ownership pro gram to 35 years from the present 30-year limit. Z. increase tne maximum amount of mortgage which the FHA could insure on a single-family home from $22,- 500 to $25,000 so that FHA could serve a larger part of the market. 3. Reduce the FHA mort gage insurance premium from the present Vi to 1 per cent on the outstanding bal ance to Vi to 1 per cent (but with the further provision that the FHA Commissioner could raise the level about 4 to 1 per cent if he found this necessary to protect FHA's reserves). In commenting on the pro posed revisions, Porter said he felt the pending legislation would provide central mort gage banking facilities both for the FHA-VA section of the market and for conven tional mortgage loans. He said he believed the legisla tion was designed to over come the wide fluctuations in the flow of mortgage money. Housing starts over the na tion.
