Opinion Poll on
Annexation Slated
- How people in the area
southwest of Medford feel
about annexing to Medford
will be determined by an
opinion poll. This was decid
ed during a loud, argumenta
tive session of area residents
Friday night in the Jackson
county courthouse auditori
um. Roughly the area to be pe
titioned will be from Sage rd.
to the Jacksonville highway,
from the Jacksonville high
way to Stewart ave. and along
Stewart ave, including Peach
at. At the suggestion of Wal
lace Brill, area resident, and
chairman of a committee of
residents, it was agreed that
no set boundaries would be
established. Only three or
four residents seemed against
the petitioning. . : -. , ; .
As mentioned by H. B. Mur
phy, Ross lane resident, some
areas in the overall area con
sidered do not have a sewage
problem. The petitions would
determine what homes wish to
be included in any annexation
proposal. Those who do not
could be excluded, it was
was agreed. Many of the resi
dents southwest of Medford
seemed opposed to annexation
although they recognized
something should be done so
their septic tanks would not
drain into the Medford irriga
tion ditches and laterals.
Various residents who said
they talked to city officials
claimed fire protection and
water would be cheaper by
joining with Medford. Resi
dents of the area are now
served by water districts and
a rural fire district. Both are
financed by property taxes.
1 Few of those opposed to an
nexation gave any clear cut
reasons.
One man said annexation
would bring zoning restric
tions and enforcement of the
Medford building code. A
woman asked if annexation
would mean she could no
longer have livestock on her
acreage. Another woman in
the audience reminded them
that the Jackson county plan

Medford
United Press International Full Leaied Wire
A
Bedside Manner '
ning commission is working
on both zoning and building
code regulations.
"You'll get these eventual
ly whether you want them or
not," she retorted.
Brill reminded the audience
that the county now does not
have the power for bonding
or the Bancrofting sewer im
provements. Medford does, he
said. By Bancrofting, resi
dents could pay for extension
of the Medford sewer system
over 10 years. Cost of forming
an independent sanitation im
provement district would be
prohibitive, he added.
T. C. (Ted) Gerow, district
state sanitation engineer for
southwest Oregon, repeated
Brill's latter statement. There
are no laws which allow the
state to install a sewer system
and assess the residents, he
added. The state can direct
the county to have a sewer
system installed if 60 per cent
of the residents petition for it,
if sewage disposal conditions
threaten the health and safety
of residents or if the state
health officer declares an
emergency situation exists.
Mutt Work as Unit
"It's still in your hands how
you develop your property,"
he said. "The area must work
as a unit. Individuals cannot
solve the problem."
This is not the first time
that Medford's fringe areas
have been beset with sewage
disposal problems, Gerow in
dicated. Some problems in
volving water and sewage
were eliminated by annexa
tion of the east side area.
Much of the soil is of the type
which will not absorb sewage
wastes, he pointed out.
Brill noted the west side of
Western ave. now has prob
lems with septic tank effluent.
"We are not trying to force
anybody to do anything," the
chairman said. "We are just
putting the cards on the table
to seek a solution to this
thing. If you don't like what
our committee is doing you
can form your own committee
and we'll disband." -

the Nationalist Qucmoy island
complex today in a "farewell"

reports indicated the shell.
ing was unusually heavy.
1 lie Nationalist defense
ministry officially descriheri
the bombardment as "wan
ton, a term usuallv uroH

lery fire is intense.
The defense ministry said
the Reds laid down three bar
rages on Quemoy with the
third one timed to coincide
with Eisenhower's departure.
However. Eisenhower's de
parture was delayed 20 min
utes and the Communist tim
ing was thrown off. The third
barrage ended 10 minutes be
fore he left.
The Reds were true to a
boast broadcast by radio Pei
ping that the islands would be
deluged with shells again in
the wake of an 86,000-shcll
bombardment Friday night
and Saturday morning to
show "contempt and scorn"
lor Eisenhower during his vis
it to Formosa.
The Reds said Quemoy,
four miles off the mainland
port of Amoy, would be shell
ed as a "see-off" for Eisen
hower. First reports gave no indi
cation of the intensity of the
barrage that began just as the
sun rose over the battered is
lands.
The 60,000-man Nationalist
military garrison and 42,000
civilians fled for cover.
Radio Peiping coupled its
advance warning of the new
shelling with denunciations of
Eisenhower as "the chieftain
of the gangsters" and a
greedy wolf covered with a
bewildering sheepskin."

Rooster Crow
By Parades, Huck Finns
And Cock-a-Doodle-Doos
Rogue River - Residents of
this pretty little tree-shaded
town awoke to the crowing of
roosters Saturday morning
and the seventh annual Rogue
River Rooster Crow contest
kept things lively throughout
the day.
A typical small town parade
led by the U.S. Marine color
guard trio accompanied by
band music, drums and the
skirl of Scotch bagpipes
wound through the business
section. Units in the 11 a.m.
event included the Medford
Moose band, the Ashland
Elks' Kilty band and the
Rogue River high school
band, Josephine county's
mounted posse, cars from the
Old Timers club. Rogue River
4-H dairy club float complete
with calf, children dressed as
roosters, nine boys dressed as
Huckleberry Finn, a steer
pulling a covered wagon and
the Grants Pass Cavemen at
tired in animal skins and
brandishing clubs.
Naturally a huge rooster,
the symbol of the Rooster
Crow was pulled along on a
large flat-bed truck.
Crowds streamed through
the Rogue River grade school
grounds to examine the 139
contestants in the Rooster
Crow. The main event started
exactly at noon as Rogue
River Police Chief "Pete"
Peters fired his revolver into
the air. Thirty minutes later
Mrs. Ann Denker, Rogue Riv
er, triumphantly held the
winning rooster aloft from
the judges' platform.
Crows 67 Times
The winning bird, Jerome,
entered by Mrs. Dcnker's lit
tle daughter. Dcnise, crowed
67 times. Runner-up was Last
Chance, owned by Charles
Austin, Rogue River, who
crowed 61 times. Mrs. Denker
received a large trophy with
a golden rooster mounted on
it. Saturday's crows were far
below those of Feedlcbaum
who set the record in 1953
with 109 crows.
The winning bird was en
tered as from the Orinda bar
bershop, Orinda, Calif., near
Oakland. Mrs. Denker ex
plained that the bird had been
given to her before the Crow
for entry in tht event. Last
Shelled
by Reds
of Fukicn province on the
mainland lit the dawn skies
with the salvoes. Many of the
shells were big six, eight and
even 10-inchers.
Beesley Named
To Manor Staff
Irving P. (Bing) Beesley,
Bountiful, Utah, recently join
ed the Rogue Valley Manor
staff as assistant administra
tor and was presented to the

executive committee of the
manor board of trustees last
week by Walter M. Higgins,
executive director.
His present office is in the
manor office now located in
the First Methodist church.
Medford, while awaiting com
pletion of the manor located
in the southeast part of Med
ford. , .
Beesley served as the Scout
executive for the Crater lake
area council, Boy Scouts of
America, from 1935 to 1940.
Prior to entering Scouting
work he majored in sociology
at the University of Utah and
then was field Scout executive
in Oakland, Calif., before com
ing to Medford.
Highlighted
year the bird uttered only a
few crows. '
However, attending Jack
son county political aspirants,
who like to crow a little them
selves, must have stimulated
the bird to new effort as it
won the trophy and a bag of
250 silver dollars. The two
top contestants were only a
few crows apart throughout
the 30-minute contest.
Last Chance took second
prize of $75. Twinkletwerp,
owned by Harold and Arlen
Simon, and 12 years old,
respectively, came in third
with 56 crows and $50. Pce
wee, owned by Margo Hatch,
Rogue River, followed with
52 crows and $25. Twinkle
twerp tied with Sandy for
first last year.
Mua Loa, entered by Love s
Nursery, Rogue River, won a
top prize of $20 for the best
cage resembling a grass hut
in Hawaii, and Noodles, en
tered by Carolyn Bowser,
took the runner-up prize of
$10 for the second best cage.
Seven-year-old Tommy Fri-
dell, Rogue River, crowned
king of the Rooster Crow,
after considerable coaxing
kissed little Denise Denker
and presented her with the
money for her top prize
winning rooster. He had stoi
en the show earlier dressed as
Huck Finn complete with
fishing pole over his shoulder
and a rope leash on his 7V4
month old pup, Gidgct.
Other prize-winners in the
parade were the Josephine
posse, an unidentified man
with a steer and covered
wagon, the 1915 Ford in the
Old Timers cars, the Rogue
River Dairy club's float, the
costumed Rooster Kids
and the Medford Moose, Ash
land Elks Kilty band and the
Rogue River high school
band, who were all tied in the
band section.
The Rooster Crow is due
for both state-wide and na
tional publicity. R. J. McGin-
nis. now of Gold Hill, and
chairman of the editorial
board for the "Farm Quarter
ly," was covering the event
for his magazine. McGinnls
recently retired as executive
editor of the magazine and
moved to Gold Hill s few days
ago.

City's Planning
Grant To Be Used
For 3 Studies
The city of Medford's $8,
500 urban planning assistance
grant, which was authorized
by the federal government
last week, will go toward
making three new studies of
various aspects of the city's
growth.
The three studies for which
the grant was authorized are
a major streets plan, a public
buildings study and a central
business district study.
Medford will match the
federal government's grant
penny-for-penny. Under ur
ban planning assistance pro
grams, in which Medford has
been participating since 1957,
the federal government and
the city each pay half the cost
of a series of long-range plan
ning studies.
The project is administered
through the bureau of munici
pal research at the University
of Oregon. Both the city and
federal government pay their
share of the funds to the
bureau, which in turn pays
the salaries of the men who
conduct the studies.
Planning Consultant Ned
Langford, who conducts the
program locally, is actually
an employee of the bureau.
Already completed under
the urban planning assistance
program are a base map and
aerial photo map of the city,
a land-use survey and map,
a land-use analysis, a prelim
inary land use plan for north
ern Medford, a population
study and subdivision regula
tions.
Several other studies are
now under way and are sched
uled to be completed by Sept.
1 this year. These are a gen
eralized land-use plan, a park
plan and a zoning ordinance
and map.
The three studies which
were authorized by the fed
eral government last week
have already been authorized
by the city, and provision for
tnem lias been made in the
preliminary 1960-61 budget,
They are scheduled to be com
pleted by Jan. 1, 1962.

United Press International
Tokyo, Sunday - (UPI) - The
mob lacked the spark and
couldn't do the job.
A throng so great and seem
ingly menacing that it block
aded its own movement con
verged on the National Par
liament throughout the day,
but at midnight Saturday
failed to prevent automatic
passage by Japan's Diet (par
liament) of the U.S.-Japan se
curity pact.
The frustrated mob is now
concentrating its wrath
against Prime Minister Nobu
suke Kishi. It may well force
the resignation of his govern
ment, just as it previously
forced cancellation of Presi
dent Eisenhower's visit to Ja
pan. But Kishi will at least
have the satisfaction of hav
ing steered the security pact
to ratification.
Supreme Effort
Communists made a su
preme effort to direct and in
cite the 200,000 demonstrators
into effective action. Agita
tors and professionals mount
ed on car-tops with loud
speaking equipment screamed
directions. But they, like the
reporters who tried to cover
the scene, were pinioned into
Immobility by the great sea
of humanity.
Japanese reporters for UPI
were at all strategic points,
equipped with special com
munication gear, while a UPI
car with American observers
edged its way slowly through
the giant mob.

According to the sheriff's
report, the boy was driving a
tractor down a hill with an
empty hay rack, with another
boy, Steve Hess, also 14 and
from the Portland area, also
riding. The tractor reportedly
slipped out of gear and Froh
reich, attempting to stop the
equipment, braked one wheel
which pulled the tractor off a
country road and up an em
bankment.
At that point the vehicle
turned over, crushing the
driver. Young Hess jumped
clear of the equipment sec

portedly was not seriously in

Frohreich was staying with
