o O 8 A. City, County Planning Is one of the most Important functions of govern mental units, it must be done wisely and thoroughly and must never cease. Four men, members of city and county planning commissions in Jack son county, agreed on this when they spoke Thursday night for a meeting of Med ford A 1 1 r u s a club held at Rogue Valley Country club, Paul Selby, chairman of Medford Planning commission and first on the program stressed the Importance of city planning, said the duties of such planning bodies are set forth by Oregon statute and added that "planning goes back to the earliest days even the cliff dwellers care fully planned the location and layout of their cliff houses. Planning is never finished Mr. Selby said, and declared that since many residents and officials believe that "the pop ulation of the floor of the Rogue valley will some day be 85,000 persons," planning for industry, commerce and community living on the basis of those figures is now going on. Study Land Uh Mr. Selby spoke of the plan ning for housing sub-divisions, of the problems of zoning and of land use and added that general land use map is now being worked out. Medford is studying the problems posed by mobile homes, is making studies of streets, of the needs of public buildings, and is looking into the results of the impact of shopping centers on business, he said, The Medford planning chairman said Medford needs to consider an urban renewal plan, and must constantly study the regulation of busi ness in all its ramifications, . he said. An adequate water . supply and sanitation are con stant problems, Mr. Selby de clared. In his summary, Mr. ; Selby declared that "Land, its use and regulation is actually our prime problem. ' City Just Grew Ashland's main problem is that it "lust grew" like Topsy said John S. Billings when he ' was Introduced. Mr. Billings ; is a member of the Ashland Planning commission, and . member of the advisory board : lor the county commission, "Ashland's streets still follow . the pattern of the cow palhs of early days," Mr. Billings said. Ashland has grown slow ly, and has had many growing pains partly because there was no proper planning, he added, A non-paid advisory commis sion was at length set up for the city, he said. Mr. Billings said that some of Ashland's problems are brought about by the fact that it is a "one-street town" and told how the shopping center near Southern Oregon college had posed certain troubles for city officials. Some sections of the city are without sewers, Mr. Bill ings explained, and added that the city will soon have a map of sewers and projected sew ers and Is now letting bids for a sewage disposal plant. Ash land also is working towards . a land use map, he said, and returning to former comments about the city's maze of streets, declared that "Strang ers and the fire department get all tied up In trying to find addresses." Water is also one of Ash land main problems, Mr - Billings declared, and said that the city has worked out a plan with the Talent Irriga tion district for water use. The use of trailers and mobile homes Is also troubling Ash land, according to the speaker Mr. Billings mentioned that a sub-division is being planned near Ashland s radio station and said the new hospital will - be on the west side. Southern Oregon college has expansion problems, too, according to the Ashland man, and he said y ' laPolnte's Price l hj 10.98 Planners on . both the city and the college sometimes have need of the same tracts of land. Planning Essential "Planning is essential or a city will be nothing more than a hodge-podge," Mr. Billings asserted. "Zoning Is the best thing in the world for a city." Speaking for Central Point, Dale S. Bartley, chairman of that municipality's planning commission outlined what has been done and what Is being contemplated. Organized in 1942, the planning commis sion has recommended and suggested needed measures and ordinances. These include city zoning, a building code, a sub-division ordinance and a uniform street program. A start has been made on a program for a perpetual park system, he declared, and for a summer recreation program for chil dren. Central Point needs a municipal swimming pool, he added, but said there is no money for this at the present time. Mr. Bartley stressed that the Central Point commission has had good cooperation from the residents of Central Point, Ronald M. James, chairman of the Jackson County Plan ning commission, which works under the county judge and commissioners, said that one of the county's main problems is posed by the fact that the city population has "moved out of town to the country.' Master Plan Members of the county com mission are "slowly preparing a master plan" which will aid orderly growth and develop ment, Mr. James declared. He said studies were being made on population growth, and spoke of such problems as the need for overpasses for free ways, the development of a pattern of arterial streets and roads. He said the county com mission believes strip zoning along highways is bad. High- ways are primarily a means of conveying traffic, he said and added "businesses generate their own traffic." Planning experts agree that consolidat ed Industrial areas are better than strips. .- Mr. James touched on the fact that there is usually di vided opinion In rural dis tricts, with part of the citizen ry wanting zoning and the re mainder objecting to It. In summary, Mr. James said the county commission has "done much basic, unglamorous. un- publicized planning to provide guidance to the various sec tions of the county." Another effort will be made in 1962 to get a vote on county zoning, the speaker said. Mrs. Bereth Hopkins was moderator for the discussion and the question period which followed. Many questions were directed to Mr. Selby, who said at one time that Medford already has enough commercial zones to care for its business needs." Question ed about unsightly buildings, he said the city has no author ity to condemn buildings, and that further study and action Is needed along this line. He was asked to speak fur ther about urban renewal, and explained what other cities are doing to rid themselves of outdated and unprofitable sec tions and replace them with buildings and construction which are profitable to the city's economy and bring in more taxes. Asked about Med ford housing, Mr. Selby said we have some sub-standard housing in Medford and a low- cost housing area is probably one of our needs A question concerning the problem of city "dumps" was directed at Mr. James, and he declared that county zoning would be particularly helpful in this matter and said it would have prevented the trouble which has arisen in re cent years about the location of dumping areas IT'S NEW!

Chemise Took Long Nop; Returns as 'Fluid Look' By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - IUPD - Around Manhattan: Fashion's chemise silhou ette of yore didn't die - it just took a long nap. For lo and behold, it's back, although to drag out the word chemise again makes all of seventh avenue shudder. The center of New York's gar ment industry remembers all too well, in dollars lost, the quick way the shapeless look arrived and retreated two years ago. Today, the Industry refers to the "fluid" silhouette, and it's true that at the better manufactur ers, the 1960 dresses are decided improve ments over; their unfortunate predecessors. But they still skim the body and cling no where. One of the exponents of the fluid silhouette is the young French designer, Jacques Tif feau, whose fall and winter collection for Monte Snno and Pruzan is full of tube - like frocks. Many have either the suggestion of a lowered waist line, or come with waistline actually dropped down around the hip. New Jewelry The newest in costume jew elry design is a three-strand necklace called "shoulder to shoulder." Judith McCann, who holds several patents on Jewelry inventions, created the three-strand arrangement of beads to drape around the Women's Group To Meet Tonight Scottish Rite Women's club will hold the final business meeting of the session tonight at 8 o'clock in Medford Ma sonic hall.

Space Suit Sir Winston Churchill's famed "siren suit" of World War II now has become 8 space age fashion for females The British statesman often wore one-piece coveralls which zipped up the front and once explained to reporters they were easy to get into in case of an air raid. Now, a pattern manufac turer, McCall's has created a similar coverall, but in a brand new fabric. They're de signed to pull over every thing and take the haphazard look out of a woman's hur ried trips to the station, the school or market. The firm included the suit in a "bustles to missiles" fash ion show to observe its 90th anniversary. The coverall was made of a cotton fabric which will be ready for home seamstresses by fall-a knit fushed with polyester foam Bondaknit and said to be weather-repellant, sag and stretch-proof.

Western Thrift 30 N. Central ' Social Events Neighborhood With Boys Chosen by Senator, Wife By ROSE McKEE Washington - How would you go about selecting a neighborhood in which to live? Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy (D., Minn.) and Mrs. Mc Carthy had the only boy in their family of four children uppermost in mind when they shopped for a neighborhood in which to buy a Washington home. Mrs. McCarthy explained that Michael, 9, "always seem ed to be short-changed on playmates in their previous Washington neighborh o o d s Before his election to the Senate, where a term runs six years, McCarthy served five terms in the House. But since a House term is only two years and the family spent about six months each year at home in St. Paul, they found themselves moving from one Washington house to another every two years. . "This time," Mrs. McCarthy said, "we inspected the neigh borhood carefully for we were buying and we wanted to be sure that Michael, who is all boy, would have boys to play with. Of course, I don't mean it was our only consideration." Liked Tree House She said that when they saw a big tree house in a backyard, that had obviously been built by boys, "we felt we were on the right track, and it turned out we were." Michael has boys his own age living close by their home. The McCarthy girls, Ellen, 12, Mary, 11, and Margaret who will be 5 in July, also have their friends in the neighborhood and "everyone's happy." The Senator likes the house, a white brick Colonial with black shutters that is pretty standard," because it s "much like the one we have in St. Paul," which is new being rented. This spring, the first in the house, has been particularly enjoyable because the pre vious owners had done much flower planting. "Every day. almost, we found some unex pected treasure in the yard. Mrs. McCarthy told an inter viewer from the National As sociation of Home Builders. The succession of blooms in cluded camellias, tulips, dog wood, primroses, lilies, aza leas, and roses, many of them in beautiful and unusual shades. Boy Plants Flowers The garden surprises seem likely to continue well into the summer for Michael has been planting various pack ages of flower seed that have come as premiums with such household supplies as soap, and "nobody is' quite sure what he has planted." Mrs. McCarthy has furnish ed the house with a number of antiques from her mother's family. She has some black walnut chests, seven small ladder back chairs with cane seats, and a very fine cherry table with handtapered legs from pre-Revolutlonary War days. The table is used as a sideboard. The McCarthys feel " Coral Cloud Garden Party Younetime Pink' Contraband Clipper Red S VOUR OHOIO OH GLAMOROUS COLOR Cleans. Sheens. NOW I00 Dial SP 3-5371 II II II brought Minnesota with us" because the furniture is the type common In the early days of the State. The girls and Mrs. Mc Carthy have been experiment ing with various furniture ar rangements because there are "all sorts of possibilities" and they are not yet quite sure which is the best. Like any number of men, the Senator takes a dim view of furniture moving. I pro test, he said, grinning, but I can't say I have much in fluence." His favorite nook in sum mer is the screened back porch and, in winter, an all purpose room that serves as a library and a place for the television set and record player. They don't get "chang ed around." 1 Poncho Towels Seen on Beach Cool cats at the beach-will be wearing a terrycloth pon cho towel with a tiger min us its head printed on both sides.

Out in the backyard, that is. Two exam ples In this sum mer's se lection of are a $695 hot dog cart-with op- je.nn. Lciem tional hibachi, $47.50 extra-and a round pic nic table and bench set with recessed charcoal grill built into the table. This item goes for $129.95. The hot dog cart Is a travel ing kitchen, with deep wells for heating franks, sauerkraut and mustard, and ample stor age space for cold drinks, food, dishes, glassware and cutlery. A tour of New York's fanci est housewares store, Ham macher Schlemmer, showed showed these additional out door cooking aids: Some 15 sizes and styles of grills, including classic ori ental hibachls ($6.95 up), a grill with blacksmith-style bellows ($54.50), a dome-covered round grill ($175.95), a club cart wagon with hibachi style grill, bottle caddy and serving . trays ($249.95), and a $440 mobile rotisserie cart with horizontal and vertical fireboxes, two large spits and an adjustable firebox. Hibachi Popular But the most popular items through more than two dec ades of the cookout craze have been inexpensive, said buyer Henry Brakstad. They are centuries-old hibachi styles and a modern rectangular portable indoor-outdoor grill that burns wood or charcoal and costs under $20. Incidentals include trans parent plexigless covers for plates and platters to keep food warm and protect it from for plates and platters ($3.25 up), an electric meat smoker ($24.95), assorted barbecue tools and broiler baskets, ($1.75 up), a 3-peck steamer for seafood, corn and chicken ($14.85), foot-long matches ($2.00 a box), an electric charcoal firelighter ($5.50) and a canned heat portable food warmer ($74.50).

New Englanders prefer a basic vinegar, butter, water and salt blend. New York state adds mild seasonings, in cluding pepper and poultry seasoning and sometimes, an egg. The South warms it up, adding onions and Worcester shire and red pepper sauces in South Carolina, hot condi ments, tomato juice, onion and brown sugar in the deep South. Texas shoots the works with lavish amounts of cay enne and mustard. California ans tone down the firepower and instead use herbs, such as rosemary, tarragon and oregano. They also favor local wines and- give brbecues an oriental flavor with soy sauce and orange juice in the baste.
