Medford Tribune SECTION D MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1960 PAGES 1 to Chamber Comm'tee Favors Completion of Three Projects The Medford Chamber of Commerce highway commit tee has asked the board of di rectors to go on record favor ing completion of three proj ects in Medford which were recommended' in 1951. In a review of the commit tee's activities during the past year, C. A. Hubbard, chairman, said the 1951 rec ommendations were review ed. Most of the 13 projects which the group recommend ed have been completed, he said, but three remain which should be completed in the near future. They are (1) extending Highland dr. through to con nect with Barnett rd., (2) pro jecting Melrose st. across rail road tracks to a line with Bar nett rd.. and (3) continuing West 10th st. across the rail road tracks either by an un derpass or overpass, which ever is the most feasible. The group also recommend ed that a new committee be appointed to make a further study on streets which should be extended in Medford. At a recent meeting of the committee, it was the "unani mous opinion" that there is need for a valley cross road between the Voorhies area on Highway 99 and the North Phoenix rd. It was pointed out constructed, there would be possibility of establishing such a route and the county court should now take action. According to Hubbard, such a route would diffuse traffic congestion conflicting with the freeway flow at the Bar nett interchange. The estab lishment of a road at this time would necessitate a free way overpass and thus assure a convenient cross- road throughway to accommodate future growth, the committee contended. Hubbard noted several projects in which the high way committee has engaged itself over the past several years. Many of these have not been completed, but prelimi nary work has been under taken. On the Medford-Crater lake route, the committee has ad vocated the realignment of the Flounce rock section of the Crater Lake highway. Several sharp points between Trail and the Flounce Rock grade were "cut off," as sug gested by the committee. An other contract will be let in December to eliminate more of these dangerous points. To prepare for heavy' sur facing of the Diamond Lake highway, armor plating has been partially completed this year, and another contract lor that once the freeway wasa new section is planned by the bureau of public roads for resurfacing. According to the committee, in about two or three years if work is continued at the present rate, the base of the Diamond lake highway will be completed all the way to permit commercial traffic and winter usage. Also noted was the con struction on the new route from Lake of the Woods to Klamath Falls. It is expected that this route will be opened within two years. Construction also has been started on the freeway through Medford with the contract being let from. Seven Oaks to Jackson st. A con tract is to be let in March for the elevated section of the freeway from Jackson st. to 12th st. A contract also is expected to be let to eliminate the traf fic congestions originating where the present Crater Lake hlghwny and Crater Lake ave. are closely parallel north of Delta Waters rd. Proper merging lanes and a left-turn lane will be in stalled. Gerald Latham, chamber president, commended Hub mard and the committee for an "excellent" job this year, and for the effectiveness of the committee for the past several years. YES!

Sunday - KBES-TV Social Security Meets Needs of Farm People Farm-City Week is a na-lone-third less credit for work old age or survivors benefits: Also avail tionwide observance calling attention to the common goals and common needs ot farm and city people. In keeping with the observ ance, Edward B. Jacobson, district manager of the Med ford social security office, pointed out that social secur ity is designed to meet the needs of both farm and city people. "It wasn't always this way," he said. "In the beginning, only industrial and commer cial workers were covered by the program. Later, self-employed people's earnings start ed counting toward social se curity. At the same time, some farm employees were also covered. In 1955, self-employed farmers were covered for the first time. Now, the pro gram is the same for farm and non-farm people." Additional Changes Jacobson went on to say that this year additional changes were made in the so cial security law, and it is now better than ever. Under the new law, botli farm and city people will be a little more secure, a little safer from want because of the retire ment, death, or disability of the breadwinner, Jacobson noted. Paying the cost of this pro gram by contributions from their earnings, employees, and their employers, and self employed persons lakes care of tomorrow's worries today. Under the new law, many people can now qualify for benefits who previously could not. This is so because the amount of work required was reduced. Now, approximately under social security is need' cd to permit the payment of benefits on a worker's account. Jacobson urged that any one who has ever been denied because of insufficient social security credit again get in touch with his office to see whether he might now be eli gible for benefits. liable at the local social security office is a frca booklet explaining the recent changes in the law. Copies may be obtained by contact ing the local office.
