NEALON Citizens Committee Lists Building Needs in Josephine County Schools By JOAN MILfcEMANN Murphy Correspondent Grants Pass - A 10-member citizens committee appointed by the Josephine county school board to study county unit school system building needs met Jan. 10 with school board members and Elmer Fleming, county superinten dent. Don Wood was elected com mittee chairman and Mrs. Jane Pangburn was chosen co chairman. Wood and Fleming present ed two alternative building plans suggested by the board at its Dec. 12 meeting. The first plan calls for addition of six classrooms, an office and gymnasium at Merlin, thus eliminating the present Oak Grove school; two class rooms and a gym at Fort Vao noy to bring it up to stuto standards; three classrooms at Fruitdule; three classrooms at Jerome Prairie; and one class room at Williams. Minimum Requirements Wood said this plan would only meet minimum require ments. It would not take care of children from the Jones Creek area who now attend District 7 elementary and jun ior high school on a tuition basis paid by the county. The second plan presented would provide for building a county junior high school which would take seventh, eighth and ninth grade stu dents from Fruitdale, Murphy, Williams and Jerome Prairie. It would also include addi tion of six classrooms and gym at Merlin and two new Survivors of Crash Recovering Slowly Jacksonville - Mrs. Robert Welch and son Charles are reported to be recovering slowly from injuries received in an automobile accident Dec. 26 near Curlin, Ore., which killed Robert Welch and daughter Edna Marie. Mrs. Welch is suffering from various facial and head injuries and broken ribs. Cha.ics' injuries include both legs and arms broken, six broken ribs and facial lacera tions. He will undergo further surgery this week to set a broken hip joint. Both are able to have a limited number of visitors. j The Welch family was en route home from a Christmas visit with relatives in Molalla when the crash occurred. Family relatives have sug gested that friends of the fam ily may donnte blood in their name when the next bloodmo bile comes to Medford Feb. 14. Several blood transfusions were required in treatment of Mrs. Welch and Charles. Those desiring to donate blood in the name of the Welch family must give the family name when donating. rooms at Fort Vannoy. Jones Creek children could be taken by county schools under this plan, eliminating their tuition fees. Either plan would include building of a shop, field house for equipment and facilities and completion of a ceiling in the gym at Illinois Valley, The committee was also re- minded that by 1964 facilities for education of retarded children must be included every school system by state law, and Fleming said this will mean four classrooms will have to be provided in county schools. Obligation io Investigate After much discussion, com mittee members decided it was the committee's obligation to investigate as fully as possible the building needs, decide on the plan they felt would pro vide the best education for the children of the county for fu ture years, and make a final report to the school board. They indicated that it was not up to them to decide what amount the voters would ac cept on a bond issue, but just to specify what building they felt should be done at this time to provide the best, most permanent results for county children. Fleming said an architect would be present at the next meeting Jan. 23 so actual fig ures will be available for use in computing and comparing costs of possible building plans.

The method recommended for control is so expensive that many local farmers are plowing up their alfalfa fields. According to Don Boh- ncrt who has made quite a study of the alfalfa spotted aphis, it comes from Europe probably in imported seeds About half of the insects have wings and can travel with the wind at high altitudes for hundreds of miles. When the wind recedes, the insects set tle down to earth, and if they are over your section when the wind subsided, you have them. Freezing temperatures are tough on these insects, and it is hoped that the recent low temperatures here may have destroyed most of the pests. Mr. and Mrs. John Hood, of Valdez, Alaska, left Wednes day, for their home after a week's visit with relatives at the Herschel Harper home. Mrs. Hood, the former Joyce Harper lives at Valdez, where her husband operates a freight truck line. The Hoods came by jet plane to Seattle, a dis tance of 2,600 miles. They claim that the price of grocer ies at Valdez is very little dif ferent than here. . Don Grissom. ihe bashful jheep barber from the Lake Creek area, wai down this way Monday, tagging sheep. When he had finished trim ming ihe bangs from over the eyes of the last ewe, he pulled his hat off and ex hibited a nice slick hair cut. When we asked who cut his his hair, he said "my wife, we mountain folks can't pay Ihe flatland prices for hair cuts." Justice of the Peace Nor man Matteson, reports that in his first day at his Gold Hill office he had 17 traffic cases lo make things interesting. Donald Richardson, of the Green, Richardson, Green and Griswold Portland law firm, flew into the Medford airport Monday morning and was a luncheon guest at the home of his parents at the J. S. Richardson home. In the afternoon he argued a case in Judge Sawyer's court in Med ford, flying back to his Port land home in the evening. Ralph James, recently re tired county commissioner, is now a member of the Roscoe Roberts Insurance agency of Medford. We attended tha recent John Deere luncheon and show, W enjoyed a delicious lunch and later, a highly in teresting show at the Crater inn theater. The usual num ber of John Deere implement owners and those farmers, who would like lo be owners, were present. All seemed to be enjoying themselves and were keenly interested in watching the many new mod els of farm tractors and ma chines being put through their paces. Trniler Topics magazine, a Chicago publication that ca ters lo mobile home owners, has a full page story with pic tures tilled "Our Immobile Mobile Home," written by Hurry Ellis of the Beagle area about five miles northeast of Dallas Purcell's survival caves. Excerpts from the story follow: "We live on a ranch in the beautiful Rogue River valley of southern Oregon. In fact, we are only five miles from that famous stream where such Izaak Waltons as There are two of us, my wife Ruth and myself, both past retirement age." Mr. and Mrs. Ellis came here from Los Angeles, Calif., 40 years ago. Most of that lime since they have lived in the Beagle district. When they lost their home by fire they needed a house in a hurry and bought a mo bile home which they claim was a good investment. They parked it near a small stream among some large oak trees. Last spring they built a living room with fireplace onto the mobile home. Their aim was to retain mobility, yet have a perma nently connected room. Being new at this kind of work, it took a lot of plan ning, patience, and some friendly arguments to iinally finish the job. But now they are able lo tell other "do it yourselfers" how to build a home of this kind. So cleverly put together is the mobile home and living room, that at first glance, the casual ob server wouldn't notice that this pleasant home is really a mobile home. Yet, by the removal of a few bolts, the home would be ready to take to the road. With plenty of electricity and acres of oak trees for the fire place, they have no heating problems. To see this home, one should go up the east Meadows road, past the An tioch cemetery and go a few miles north. Workers Needed For Eagle Point Building Project Eagle Point - The stairway and porch forms for the main entrance of the new Eagle Point Scout-Community build ing must be put in this Satur day, according to a spokesman at the building committee meeting Monday night. Help is needed in putting up partitions in the dining area, hauling and putting gravel on the road and in front of the building and haul ing and picking up plumbing supplies and lumber that has been donated. There is also cleaning up lo be done. Harry Hanscom, building chairman, says any one who can swing a hammer can be put to work. Anyone who can help secure part of the plywood and supplies can do so at their convenience by contacting Hanscom for the pick-up orders and necessary information. The committee decided to work on Saturday and Sunday of one week end, and then not work op the following week end. Hanscom said if every one from high school age and older would help with the building for three week ends, the building could be put into operation immediately there after. He said turnouts have been small lo date. A potluck luncheon is serv ed at noon for the workmen and their wives and families, who are invited to bring food.
