Question of Paving On Lynwood Aired At Council Was or was not all of Lyn wood ave. ever paved? This is a question facing the Medford city council. Hinging on its decision it the matter of who will pay for now badly needed street re pairs. Residents living along Lyn wood ave. claim that all of the street was once paved. Sev eral city officials believe that only part of it was paved. Lynwood ave. is located in the Verde Hills subdivision, which was developed In 1951, 1952 and 1953. That portion of Lynwood being disputed is located between Roxy Ann place and Keene Way dr. A delegation of Lynwood ave. residents appeared at last week's city council meeting and claimed that Lynwood ave. had been paved with low- cost surfacing along with a number of other streets in the subdivision in 1953. Scarified Paving In 1960 the city scarified what paving there was on all of Lynwood ave. and then rolled it. The city then re paved Lynwood from Siski- Program for Education Considered At Meeting Ashland - Representatives from the public schools, park services,, recreation districts, the bureau of land manage ment and Southern Oregon college attended a luncheon Thursday at SOC to consider program of outdoor educa tion for southwestern Ore gon. I Dr. Elmo N. Stevenson, SOC president, reported on the history of the outdoor edu cation and conservation pro gram, saying that it was de veloping rapidly in the nation as a whole, and in Oregon in particular. The first pilot program eminated from SOC in 1957 when Dr. Irene Hollenbeck of the science-mathematics divi sion, served as coordinator for Westside School Outdoor Recreation ' project at Soda Springs on Butte creek. Since that time the Prineville, Sa lem, and Springfield schools have scheduled similar proj ects. '.'(': In-Service Teacher Program Last year, Dr. Stevenson said, the Lake county school people held a two-day in-ierv- ice teacher program in , wis new, yet practical aspect oi education. Tms year two otn- er county teacher groups are solding in-service workshops in this field. The state de partment of education ap pointed an advisory commit tee in conservation ana out door education last year. Ore gon State college, the Univer sity of Oregon ana sue nave courses to help prepare the leaders and workers in this field. Out of the meeting, several immediate steps will be taken by school and organization people within the next few week. The feeling was unani mous that outdoor education is desirable and burgeoning, said Stevenson, and school grounds and sites need to be selected and estabiisnea im mediately while still avail able. He went on to say that fed- e r a 1 organizations involved need to know of the schools' plans right away and pledge Retarded Children - The Jackson County Association for Retarded Children will meet at the First Methodist church, Medford, Tuesday, April 25, at 7:30 p.m. The newly organized group is for parents and friends of retard ed children.

H. A. Hurlbut, 301 Lyn wood ave., speaking for ap proximately a dozen Lyn wood ave. residents Thursday night, told the council he had contacted both the subdivision developer, the General De velopment company, and Floyd Somers, a paving con tractor. Representatives of both firms contend that the street was paved, and Somers said he remembered paving it himself, according 'to Hul but. ' The city contended on the other hand, that the portion of Lynwood was covered with a dust palliative, and not low cost surfacing.
