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

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

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.
One suburbanite promptly
named it a "space age Dr.

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.

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."

Eating in Yard Costly, ,,,
For Equipment, That Is
By JEANNE LESEM
United Press International
New York-OIPD-It's not the
food but the equipment that
runs up the cost of eating
out. Out in
the backyard,
that is.
Two exam
ples In this

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

Some 15 sizes and styles
of grills, including classic ori

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

Incidentals include trans

Sauces Regional
Cookout chefs stick with
favorite recipes as well as
favorite equipment, The Na
tional Broiler Council claims
you can identify barbecuers
regionally by the sauce they
use.
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

as rosemary, tarragon and
oregano. They also favor local
wines and- give brbecues an
