Congestion Noted
At Intersection
Public Works Director Ver
non Thorpe has proposed that
motorists in the downtown
Medford area refrain from
turning right at the intersec
tion of Main st. and Central
ave., in order to avoid consid
erable traffic 'congestion- at
that intersection.
Thorpe suggests instead that
motorists who want to get
from Central ave., to west
Medford turn right at Fourth
si.! and proceed west to Grape
St., before joining the Main
st. traffic.
The Central ave.-Main st.
intersection has a designated
right turn lane, Thorpe points
out, and adds that it will still
be legal to make right turns
at the intersection. However
Thorpe says "we anticipate an
unusually large vehicle load
(at the intersection) and it
will save everybody time if
motorists 'will by-pass it."
If motorists so choose, he
said, they can proceed through
the Central ave.-Main inter
section and then turn right at
the next westbound through
street which is 11th st.
The unusual amount of con
gestion at the Central ave.
Main st. intersection is only
temporary and traffic will
probably revert to normal
after the Christmas rush is
over, according to Thorpe.
only from' Eisenhowers
friends and other sources that
the public has gotten any idea
of the interior of the 100-year-old
house.
The farm was bought in
1950 from Allen S. Redding
for $24,000. The Eisenhowers
immediately began renovat
ing the main house and ac
quiring more land. The chang
es to the house, which took
until 1955 to complete, cost at
least $150,000.
Perhaps the most famous
room is a glasscd-in sunporch
overlooking part of the Get
tysburg Civil War battlefield.
Many of the world's great -Khrushchev,
Churchill, Neh-
Adcnauer and Lord Mont
gomery - have sat there and
chatted with Eisenhower.
One of the attractions of
the house is a white marble
mantel in the living room.
It was originally installed in
the White House in 1854, re
moved during the administra
tion of Chester Arthur, locat
ed by a second-hand dealer a
few years ago and presented
to the Eisenhowers on their
38th wedding anniversary by
the White House staff.
The farm alsp has a white
clapboard feeding barn, a
smaller breeding barn and a
guest house. The president
