This figure does not include legal fees, estimated at about $8,000, or complete archi tect's fees. Included in the total figure is construction of two Junior high schools, one In the south ern part of the county, to handle seventh, eighth, and ninth graders from Williams, Murphy, Jerome Prairie, Wlldervllle, Selma and Fruit dale elementary schools. A second one to be built in the northern part of the county, would include pupils from Oak Grove, Merlin, Hugo, Wolf Creek, Sunny Valley and Fort Vanney. In addition, since the Junior high enroll ment in this portion of the county is not as large ss that in the southern portion, there would be included In this building, rooms for mentally retarded children which the county, by state order, must include in its school system. Also included would be sev eral elementary grades from the Merlin area making it un necessary to add classrooms to that school. It was felt that this plan for the addtlonal Junior high in the northern part of the county would best take care of future building needs in that area, as well as provide for children the ad vantages of the Junior high system available to students In the southern section ot the county. In accordance with instruc tions given at the previous board meeting, school board members reported at Monday night's meeting on the indi vidual building needs of schools in their areas, both, from an Immediate standpoint as well as probable ones in the future. In such a manner, an attempt will be made to handle, in one bond issue, such needs as appear most likely to develop rather than to be forced to present a second bond issue to the voters in the not too distant future. In addition to regular board members attending, Jack Ed son, architect from Medford, was present to answer the questions concerning improve ments needed in the form of additions to several schools, as well as to give necessary estimates of tosts In connec tion with the two junior high schools. At several schools in the county inadequate shower fa cilities for students taking physical education must be remodeled. Money originally allotted for the projects in yearly budgets was Insufflcl- Central Point Has 'Music Man' Veterinarians Meet For Clinic Today i Veterinarians from south ern Oregon and northern Cali fornia are expected to attend a clinic and dinner sponsored by the Rogue Valley: Veteri nary Medicine a s s o elation here today. A clinic on horse lameness es was scheduled at 4 o'clock this afternoon in the 4-H build ing at the county fairgrounds, and a dinner is scheduled at 6:30 o'clock this evening at the Tally Ho, Talent. Speakers at- the clinic and dinner will be Dr. Donald Wheat, ot the University of California college veterinary medicine at Davis, and Dr. R. T. Worthman; ot Washing ton State university's college of veterinary medicine at Pullman. Central Point schools had "78 Central Point schools had '76 trombones," but for 23 years Harry L. Meyers has been Central Point's own "music man". Although Meyers devoted the years 1938-42 to Phoenix and Talent schools as well as Central Point, growth of the Central Point band was great during that time. Teaching chorus, orchestra and band in the beginning, Meyers de veloped a practically non existent music department into a major cog in the educa tional machinery of Central Point schools. Meyers came well qualified for his Job, leaving the ranks of professional performing musicians because he felt the musical education of our youth to be more important. He began his career in music in his birthplace, Amster dam, Holland, studying at the Music Conservatory in The Hague and in Germany be fore coming to America in 1916. After serving In the U.S. Army during World War I. he became a U.S. citizen, settling In the midwest. In 1923 he married Martha Hoff man at Minneapolis, Minn, Their daughter, Mrs. J. Lynch, resides with her fam ily in Medford. Although he played for the Seattle symphony orchestra and with several traveling groups In the United States and Canada, Meyers is proud est of the fact he was consid ered good "pit" musician, which requires the ability to play any piece ot music put on the stand without having i it before, and play it V nMHeaam .

Members ,of the Junior high band are also eligible for the pep Dana, which has 30 members, and plays for assemblies, athletic events and other special occasions. The last 12 years the junior high band has attended the Southern Oregon Music con test, and received a one rating. Three concerts are presented annually, at Christ mas, at the schools open house and a spring concert, Jfiacn year the band entertains at Hawthorne park in Medford for the presentation ot awards for the Pear Blossom festival. Writes Songs In addition to his teaching, Meyers has found time to write words and music for several songs, including operetta, write arrangements for different instruments, and until recently, repaired and rebuilt the instruments of all the schools in southern Ore gon and northern California His entry in the 1960 Centen nial song competition, "Ore gon Waltz", won second prize and was published. Another unusual accomplishment It not having missed a day ol school in his 23 years at Cen tral Point. Though Meyers is now eli gible for a well deserved re tirement, he has been asked by many parents and school offlcals to stay at least another year. ent to do the Job Such remodeling Is properly. necessary N.

The bond issue will Include money for a gymnasium at Merlin and at Fort Vannoy, where a physical education program has been carried on with difficulty for the past years due to lack of facilities. Jerome Prairie, in addition to shower rooms which it does not have at all, needs a new kitchen. Its present one is In adequate for preparation of meals for almost 400 children. Even with the seventh and eighth grade students being removed from Frultdale and sent to a county Junior high, two classrooms will be needed there In the near future since children now attending Dis trict 7 on a tuition basis would be sent to Frultdale un der the new plan. Addition of these rooms will necessitate addition of auxiliary heating systems. The system now in the school is at its limit for circulation of heat. Also mon ey is being tentatively allot ted to this area to attempt to purchase more land to extend the school grounds. The acre age there is short of state re quirements which require five acres for 100 children and one acre for each additional 100. At Williams the cafeteria and two olassrooms are to be remodeled and repaired and the gym completed. Edson recommended that insulation be installed along -with the ceilings of all gyms.. This would provide a tremendous saving In fuel costs, he said. At Selma, where one of four classrooms has been used as an office, enrollment has increased so that this room will have to be used as a classroom in the very near future. It will be necessary to build an office and a more adequate health room. At Illinois Valley High school, there is a need for two more classrooms, due to increased enrollment. One of the rooms will be a science room. The gymnasium needs to be completed and further equipped with seating facili ties, and plans for a field house which will have the necessary equipment and fa cilities for athletic events have been approved. Also, the board followed the sug gestion of the budget com mittee and- has included $2,500 for a tractor for the FFA group at Illinois Valley to be used lor teaching pur poses. It was decided to ask the law firm of Balderee and Calvert, of Grants Pass, to handle the legal matters in connection with the bond Is sue. To further clarify, exact expenses and make any sug gestions in line with efficient building, the board requested Edson to accompany Elmer Fleming, superintendent, to some of the schools mentioned. The Issue will be discussed further at the board's next regular meeting, June 12.
