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.

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.

contacting Hanscom for the
pick-up orders and necessary
information.

older would help with the
building for three week ends,
the building could be put into
