B SUNDAY, APRIL 23. 19B1 MTOTORD MAfl- THIBCTNE, MSDFOHO, OltTOO Talent Area Residents Favor Establishing Planning District Talent - Residents of the Talent area, during a New England style town meeting Friday night, favored study of a planning (zoning) district end authorized the board of directors of the South Talent Property Owners' association to make prelminary plans for Approximately 60 persons attending the special meeting In the Talent city hall reaf firmed their opposition to li censing a wrecking yard on the west side of Highway 99 about a half mile south of the Talent city limits. Acting Chairman Dr. Loren Messenger, Southern Oregon ' college professor and .Talent area resident,, urged . Talent people to attend Wednesday night's public hearing in the Jackson county courthouse to chow their opposition. Suggest District . Medford Lawyer F r a n k VanDyke, representing , the Talent group, repeatedly sug gested "a planning district" be established by the resi dents. (He changed the title to "planning district" when a member of the audience re minded him that the . word "zoning" is unpopular with Jackson county residents.) , - VanDyke explained that a ."planning district" would erlglnate with the people of Ijthat area and be exclusively .under their control. The inter im zoning, which' is somewhat 'similar, is controlled by the Jackson county planning com mission and Its legal origin is somewhat vague, he ex plained. , . . . The "planning district" re quires a petition of 10 free holders, establishment of dis trict boundaries and an elec tion within 30 days after the petitions are verified. The county court then orders the district established it a ma jority of the residents within the proposed district Doun darles vote in favor of it. A four - man temporary board would be established until ' district directors are elected, VanDyke explained. Rallying Point "This wrecking yard prob lem could go down in Talent history as a rallying point for boosting Talent progress, tne Medford lawyer decla red. "Need for more adequate city water is another challenge the oeoDle must face. The people huddled in their heavy coats and scarves inside the large, white barn-like city hall as snow continued to fall outside. In one corner of the community hall; Mrs. Frank Christian, voter's registrar for the Talent precinct, registered voters so they could legally sign petitions circulated by Mrs. Goldie Davis, association secretary. Dr. Messenger set the spirit of the meeting: "Whenever a threat occurs -to our homes and families there is always a rallying together ... a great unity of purpose. With this same spirit of unity and de termination the pioneers of this area fought against the GOOD JOBS .

Hies, theif health and secur ity," Dr. Messenger continued. He described the proposed wrecking yard as a rat-in fested, soggy, mosquito-infest ed area. Merely because the plan ning commission requires the proposed wrecking yard to plant a screen of trees is no assurance they will grow, nor will the wrecking yard neces sarily always be kept in good order, it was pointed out. A member of the audience pointed out that the Talent area residents are not trying to "run out" the two existing small wrecking yards. (The proposed wrecking yard would include 9V4 acres, Van Dyke noted.) Reviewing the legal impli cations of the proposed large wrecking yard, the Medford lawyer noted that only mini mum restrictions on the yard would be enforcable. Not Required A 12-foot fence and a screen of evergreen trees is not required- by law, the Medford lawyer said. He said that wrecking yards tried unsuc cessfully to establish in the Camp White area, Jackson ville and Medford. He added that "there is a teensy bit of truth to the re mark that Talent is seedy looking. We have to upgrade ourselves and now Is the time to do It," he urged. VanDyke cautioned the peo ple against "making a person al issue" of their opposition to the wrecking yard. John Pletsch, manager of Jackson County Federal Sav ings and Loan association, Medford, said existence of a nearby wrecking yard does depreciate loan values on property. He added that he was one of the original mem bers of the Jackson county planning commission, ' and urged Talent residents to get behind the commission "and don't abuse them." "People don't want zoning until they need it, and then it's too late," Pletsch noted. Supply and demand deter mine values of homes. Natur ally few people want to live near wrecking yards," COMPLETES TRAINING 1 Miss Wilma Ernestine Own by, daughter of Mrs. Fay Own by, 113 East 11th st has com pleted 10 weeks of basic train ing at Recruit-Training-Wo men, United States Naval Training center, Balnbridge, Md. - Miss Ownby, a graduate of Crater High school, will spend a 14-day leave in Lancaster, Pa., following her graduation and before reporting back for yoeman school. rrnir. m win v DRIVE WINNERS Tom Teutsch, right, chairman of the Medford Young Men's Christian association membership drive, con gratulates August (Dutch) Farfan and Mrs. Alice Garrett for enrolling the most mem bers in the recent membership drive.

Ashland Branch 337 East Main, Ashland Home Office 2 East Main, Medford Mrs. B.R. - I wish he'd be more friendly with his broth er. James R. - We haven't any thing in common except our parents. Mrs. B.R. - We have just the two boys. Greg is 22 and Jim's 20. You'd think since there are only the two of them, they a be pals and compan ions. But no. They never go out together. Each has sepa rate friends, and different paths. . My husband and I would rest easier knowing they at least liked each other, and would look out for each other and take some interest. Greg says not to worry, he'll go bail for his brother any time. Greg jokes about It. But Jim tells me he'd rather turn to a stranger if he needs help. He has no confidence in Greg. I can't understand how two sons of the same parents can be so diametrically opposite Greg's the cutup, the peren nial teen-ager. Jim's the old man, always serious. Still, they ought to make allow ances and be friends. James R. - Just because we were born into the same family is no reason for my mother to throw Greg and me on top of each other all the time. Heredity must have played tricks on us, because he's a throwback to no ances tor anyone can identify and I - well I must be the guy to demonstrate how many quali ties can skip a generation! Does my mother want two clowns around the house? Greg Is the "yock boy" and I'm her sourpuss. Ever since we were kids, Greg was the one everybody counted on to do the Hula and pass out the trick cigars. I would sneak Up stairs where nobody missed me while I read National Geo graphic Magazine. Together, we're oil and water. The Council: We wonder whether Jim is really all that different from Greg, or wheth er he's been working hard at creating an "Image" of oppo siteness, for deep emotional reasons. Maybe during the boys' childhood there was too much comparing, too much even-steven emphasis. It be came more important for Jim, let's say, to be a non-Greg than a just-Jim. So, in order not to be ignored, not to be lumped with his more exhibitionistic brother, Jim became a with drawn, self-effacing "type." Ever since the days of Cain and Abel, and of Esau and Jacob, parents have encount ered sibling rivalry which takes the form of one brother straining to be everything the other is not Let one be a tee totaler, the other is a "wet." Let one be a "bohemian," the other lives by the book. One wonders how much of Jim's seriousness is natural, and how much put on to counter balance Greg's wackiness. Underlying the extreme be havior of each brother may be the urge for recognition, the need to say, "I'm me, not him, and don't mix us up." To ease this rigid role play ing, Mrs. R. must assure her sons that they can be their relaxed, natural selves, with no further striving to create their separate "personalities." She sees, and loves, them as individuals - not just as "the boys." With this accomplish ed, the brothers can afford to come a bit closer to each oth er, without the threat of being either submerged or "shown up." They can drop the exag gerated poses, and Greg can sober down while Jim jollies up, to some degree. From such slight rapprochement, true brotherliness can spring. As to oil and water, we re mind Jim that they can go together when the water is "troubled."
