o MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 18, 1961 , v ' Survey for Directory Of Marrufacturers Starts Portland A statewide sur vey to obtain information for the 1961 Directory of Oregon Manufacturers has been start ed by the Oregon department of planning and development. Questionnaires will te sem the last week in January to more than 5,000 Oregon man ufacturing firms, asking for information on type of pro duct, person to contact, street and mailing address and num ber of employees. In asking for the coopera tion of all manufacturing firms in completing and re turning the questionnaire as promptly as possible, Sam H. Mallicoat, acting director of the department, stressed the directory's usefulness in the state's programs for economic development. The directory, he said, is a source of basic information for market research, and is used extensively in plant lo cation studies. It also serves as a buyer's guide, and used by companies looking for sources of goods and materials in Oregon. The 1959 directory, Malli coat pointed out, was one of the deparlmcnts's most pop ular publications. Some 2,500 copies were sold, going to all 49 other states and many for eign countries. The 1961 directory is sched uled for publication in April. Bill Prohibits Racing Interests Salem-flJPD-Rep. Carl Fisher (R-Eugene), said Tuesday he has introduced a bill which would prohibit members, em ployees or appointees of the State Racing commission from having a financial interest in horse or dog racing. The bill also would prohibit them from making bets. Fisher said racing in Ore gon has "always enjoyed favorable reputation and this bill will serve as a further guarantee that the public will be protected and the commis sion will not be subject to criticism." About 30 per cent of all U. S. trucks are in 115 large cities. A 7 JFK APPOINTEE This is a file photograph of James K. Carr, appointed undersecre tary of interior by President elect John F. Kennedy.

Oregon State Will Start Year-Round Program This Year Corvallis-Wilh an eye oni "year-round school" in the fu ture, Oregon State college has announced plans for an experimental summer school this year that will correspond to about a regular school term. Tlie usual 8-week session- attended each year by a grow ing number of undergradu ates and graduate students will run from June 19 to Aug. 11. This year after it is com pleted, however, a 4-weck "in tersession" will follow from Aug. 14 to Sept. 8. By putting the 8- and 4-weck program together, a student may earn 18 credit hours, or a full term's work plus, President A. L. Strand pointed out. For Graduate Work Public school teachers, who look to summer school for graduate work but who have to be back "on the job" in late August, will still have the advantage of the 8-week sum mer school under the split session plan, Dr. Franklin R. Zcrau, dean of education and director of summer session observed. A two-week post session, which has been held for many years, also will be continued. Oregon Stale has been con sidering a year-round sched ule for some tjme, President Strand reported, and this year's experimental program is the first step toward such a plan in years to come. A few eastern colleges have adopted a four-quarter or three - semester schedule that runs through the summer with excellent results, he said. Students who go the year round can graduate in three instead of four years and col lege facilities and faculty are used to great effectiveness, Strand noted. Future Consideration This maximum use of class rooms and staff all the year will be a critical considera tion in the future, he empha sized, as big enrollment in creases hit college campuses. As one of the natiun's fastest growing states, Oregon will be especially hard hit and every effort will be required to accommodate all the stu dents who want to go to col lege. Dean Zeran said the sum mer school schedule would be carefully planned to provide varied coursework opportuni ties for students in this year's experimental program. Ap proximately 400 couriei, workshoos. seminars and ill" stitutes will be offered by the various, schools on campus during the regular summer session, he added. The four-week Intersession experiment will be conducted on a modest scale for the first year, but still will offer fine opportunities for students, Dean Zeran reported. He suggested that the sum mer school would be an ex cellent time for students un decided about college to "try their wings." Students who are ineligible to enter OSC because of low high school grades but who are deter mined to make good in col lege may become eligible by satisfactory work in summer school, Zeran explained. if?

Champlin had nothing but kind words for Medford drivers today, when a year-end police report re vealed that there were few er traffic accidents and traf fic injuries in 1960 than there were in 1959. According to the . report, there were 721 traffic acci dents in the city last year, re sulting in 122 injuries. In 1959 ! there were -f 71; accidents- re sulting in J66 injuries;-THe .number of fatalities two 'was the same for both years. These totals Represent only those accidents that were re ported to police. Speak Well for Drivers Chief Champlin said the figures "speak well for the ' drivers," but added that "we hope there will be further , decreases during coming year." He credited an increasing ' awareness of traffic laws and traffic hazards, resulting in ? improved driving habits on the part of drivers, as the reaspns for the decrease. And, ' he credited both the Medford r Safety council and his own department with contributing ' greatly to this increased awareness. Champlin pointed out that ' Improved traffic facilities, such as Eighth and 10th st. : bridges, have also had a part to play in the accident de crease'. Issue Fewer Tickets In addtion to a decrease in traffic accidents, the depart ment issued fewer parking meter tickets and traffic ci- , tations last year than it did the previous year. Parking meter tickets totaled 39,690 during 1960, compared to 43,- . 889 during 1959; and traffic citations totaled 5,557, during I960, compared to 5,957 dur : ing 1959. But, Champlin attributed the decrease in tickets to" the department's spending less time on traffic patrol during 1960. He explained that an increased criminal case load has forced the department to spend less time enforcing traf ' fic laws. :Mrs. Garrett Free i On $25,000 Bail Portland - (UPI) - Mrs. Con. stance Garrett, 32, Portland: ' was free on $25,000 bail to day pending her arraignment on a second first degree mur der charge in connection with an Oct. 6 fire that claimed 'the lives of three of her four daughters and their governess, The Multnomah county crand iurv returned a "true bill" Tuesday charging Mrs, Garrett, a former Texas so cialite, with murder in the fire death of her daughter Angela. 3.
