Flashing Placed
On Courthouse
New' flashing has been
placed . along the perimeter
of the parapet wall on the
courthouse annex roof, the
county court reported today.
The Job was finished Thurs
day. Aluminum flashing on the
steel frame previously used
required too many calked
joints and developed some
leaks, the court explained.
Price for the job by Brill
Metal Works, Medford, was
about-$600. County jail pris
oners provided some of the
labor, it was reported.
Paving of the county court
house parking lot extension
will be started soon, the court
said. Spaces will be marked
off for. 11 cars. The addition
al space behind the court
house was cleared earlier this
year.

200 Attend
Approximately 200 persons

to thank "all the people for
making this project possible
for the Crater Lions club."
The Crater Lions raised the
$3,000 necessary to finance
the pool from its annual tele
vision auction. They gave the
pool to the city as a commu
nity project.
Master of Ceremonies Russ
Jamison introduced Mark
Goldy, a member of the Jack

which gave the .land and
money to make the pool pos
sible. -
Most of the city officials,
including the city council and
parks and recreation commis

were Dr. Leonard B. May
field, superintendent of the
Medford public schools, and
Hob Deuel, mayor of Medford
during the early years of
World War II, and a former
member of the housing au
thority. The pool was constructed
at a cost of $83,000. It is 75
feet long and 42 feet wide,

Snider is now in his last
year of office as mayor of

Bomb Explodes at

Admit Making It
Two boys, aged 12 and 13,
have admitted to Medford po
lice that they made a bomb
which exploded behind the
First Christian church, 209
South Oakdale ave., last night.
The bomb went off about
7:20 p.m., but reportedly did
no damage.
Shortly after the explosion
police traced the bomb to the
boys. They were taken into
custody at their homes and
admitted making the bomb,
but not setting it off.
They told police they put
some gunpowder in a carbon
dioxide cartridge and attempt
ed to explode it behind the
church. However, they said it
wouldn't go off and they gave
it to an unidentified boy who
was passing by.

When they were only a short

bomb explode, they said. Po
lice are looking for the other
youth.

bomb explosions in Medford
during the past few months,

Fortunately, the chief notes.
no one has yet been injured.
But," he said, "if children
continue to play with these
bombs then somebody will be
hurt or killed." He added
that the bombs are just as
dangerous to the person set
ting them of as they are to in
nocent bystanders.
He warned parents that If
they want to keep their chil
dren in one piece, they better
keep explosives out of their
hands.
The chief also had a warn
ing for persons who sell gun
powder and other explosive
materials to youth. Anyone
who sells such things to chil
dren can be charged with a
misdemeanor under state law,
he said, and the city will most
certainly prosecute when It
hears of such violations.

modeling job had not been
authorized.
There was testimony that
between $37,000 and $39,000
had been spent on the project
but the project had not been
authorized by the 1959 legis
lature nor by the state depart
ment of finance and adminis
tration.
The committee said the
military department took the
funds earmarked for mainte
nance and used It to remodel
the structure.
State Fiscal Officer Ken
neth Bragg said that the state
finance department probably
wouldn't have approved the
remodeling work because of
elaborate decor involved. In
cluded was a 370-foot office
space for the commanding
general.
Law Suggested
Several committee m e m-
bers said some sort of law
should be written to prevent
a recurrence in the future but
Oregon Senate President Wal
ter Pearson (D-Portland) dis
agreed. He said the incident
falls under the administration
of Gov. Mark Hatfield and
"he should straighten it out."
Lt. Col. L. M. Blaisdell of
Salem, military department
fiscal officer, said procedures
used in the past were fol
lowed. He explained that Na
tional Guard employes are
now doing maintenance work
formerly done by contractors
and this resulted in a saving
and the remodeling job went
ahead.
Question by Duncan
House Speaker Robert Dun
can (D-Medford) asked how
much the state is spending on
remodeling of the home of the
adjutant general at -Camp
Withy combe a n d Blaisdell
said he didn't know but that
most of it is being put up by
Gen. Alfred Hints, himself.
Blaisdell was ordered to
come up with exact figures
and report to the committee
at its next meeting.

Mrs. Jimmy Richards ap

night and made an unched

The planning commission
advised Mrs. Richards that
the request would necessitate

proper procedure for this
would be to request a public
hearing. Mrs. Richards indi
cated that she would request
such a hearing.

Subdivision Gets
Tentative OK
The Medford city planning
commission last night gave
tentative approval to plans
lor a 30-lot subdivision to be
located In northern Medford,
It was the only item of busi
ness transacted.
The subdivision will be
called Rogue Terrace No. 1,
and will be located northeast
of the intersection of Grand
view and Whittle aves. Only
one street will be included
within the boundaries of the
subdivision, Gould ave.
Developer is the Crater
Land Development company.
It plans to construct the
street, gutters, sidewalks,
curbs, water mains and sewer
lines, all according to city
specifications.
Before tentative approval
for the Rogue Terrace subdi
vision could be given, the
commission had to withdraw
tentative approval for the
Grandview Unit No. 2 subdi
vision planned earlier for this
same area.
Planning Consultant ' Ned
Langford pointed out to the
commission that tentative ap
proval was given the Grand
view subdivision some time
ago, but nothing has since
been done.
The commission found it
necessary to make tentative
approval subject to one major
condition. This is that the sub
divider extend a 6-Inch water
main from where It now dead
ends on Grandview ave. some
575 feet to connect with the
subdivision's water mains.
This would be done at the
subdlvider's expense.
Bids Planned on

Planners
numerous office buildings lo
cated in the area. The only
eating facilities now avail
able to them are on the west
side she said, and to travel
such a distance for lunch is
an inconvenience.
The commission pointed out
that this area is now zoned
multiple-family which permits
office buildings but not eat
ing establishments. To permit
a restaurant in this area, it
would require at least a class
IIIA zone it was noted.
Mrs. Richards asked the
commission if it would be
permissable to sell member
ships in the restaurant mak
ing it a kind of club and get
around the zoning regulations
In this manner. Clubs are per
mitted in multiple - family
zones. ,

Acting Commission Chair
man Jack Edson said there is

way it is now. He added that
the tea room would be a com

Commission member Don
