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

but did nothing to the rest,
claiming it was the residents
responsibility since that por
tion of the street had never
been paved in the first place.
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.
The city council elected to
consult the records of the city
engineering department, the
records of the subdivider and
any other records that can be
obtained to come up with the
answer at the next meeting,

The Week in
33 Condemned Men
Hunger Strike in San Quentin
By United Press International
All but two of the 33 con
demned men on San Quenln
prison's Death Row ended
their seven-day hunger strike
with a hearty lunch of beef
stew, noodle soup, mashed po
tatoes, beet salad and lima
beans.
The two holdouts were Luis
Moya, 23, and Marion Linden,
47, both convicted murderers
from Los Angeles.
The Death Row inmates be
gan their strike April 14. A
tew days later, they submit
ted a list of demands for more
and better fare, a new cook
and a new barber.
During the strike the pris
oners ate candy, peanuts and
other foods obtained at the
prison commissary.
Turn Down Requests
However, the prison food
began looking a little better
at week's end after Warden
Fred Dickson turned down
their list of demands - and
threatened to feed them intra
venously if the strike contin
ued much longer.
In Los Angeles, Dr. R. Ber
nard Finch, his face showing
no emotion, and Carole Treg
off, tears streaming down her
cheeks, went their separate
ways to begin serving life
prison terms for murdering
the surgeon's wife.
Finch, 43, was taken In a
sheriff's station wagon from
county Jail to the California
Institution for Men at Chlno,
After processing, he was to be
transferred .to San Quentin
prison.
Miss Tregoff, who declined
to answer any questions from
reporters, had her red hair
in a new upswept hairdo
when she was removed from
the jail to the California . In
stitution for Women at Coro
na. She was expected to re
main there during the full
period of her confinement.
